NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS INDICATES 19*+9 POLICY LINE The National Association of Broadcasters opened its annual series of district meetings in Boston where members of district number one voted five main resolutions which are good guidemarks for the association’s policy line during the coming year* First—that NAB president Justin Miller appoint a committee on observance of newly effective NAB standards of practice for American broadcasters* Two—that "grateful appreciation” be expressed to Senator Wallace White, Jr. for his "achievements asfather of radio law in America,” Three—that further support and action be pledged to Judge Miller’s "eloquent example in word and deed" in defending radio’s freedom. Four—that the U.S. Bureau of Census include a radio ownership question in the 1950 census* Five—that NAB president and directors "in view of the fact that the FCC regulates the broadcasting industry by edict and by direct and indirect threat of reprisal and loss or denial of license in a manner not consonant with the spirit and intent of the radio law" take action to correct this condition. President Judge Justin Miller of the National Association of Broadcasters also urged a revision of Frequency assignments for radio stations and said that current scarcity of station locations in the broadcasting spectrum is largely the result of governmental controls* He said: "England and Russia have been grabbing off two and three times the number of broadcasting locations that we get. Our scarcities now are caused principally by poor use and allocation of frequencies," Praising the progress of the broadcasting industry, the NAB president said it is "remarkable broadcasters have gotten along as well as they have with government and other critics constantly needling them." DANGER. 1950 CENSUS MAY CUT RADIO QUESTIONS Broadcast Measurement Bureau points out the U. S, Census Bureau probably will not ask about radio ownership in the 1$50 census unless commercial and educational radio agencies strongly urge it. Two factors will determine whether 1950 census will include a radio question: size of the appropriation (this determines number of questions which can be asked) and Census Bureau’s own view regarding importance of radio questions. BMB points out if Census Bureau does not take an actual count of AM, FM, and TV set ownership every decade, no solid basis for comparisons will exist. N-A-E-B endorses the 'BMB suggestion that individual or groups, interested in seeing a radio question included in the 1950 Census should write Mr. Capt, U» S. Census Bureau, Washington, D.C*
