RECORDING BAN ENDS Members of James C. Petrillo’s American Federation of Musicians ended their nearly a year long recording ban December 14. Recording sessions began shortly after a new 5-year contract was signed between the union and the phonograph record companies. The agreement was reached in October, but was waiting for a government OK on the legality of a union welfare fund financed by record royalties. The 2 million dollar trust, to be administered by Trustee Samuel R. Rosenbaum, was pronounced legal under the Taft-Hartley Act by Attorney General Tom Clark and Solicitor William Tyson of the Department of Labor. The fund will be used to hire jobless musicians to give free public concerts and other Union welfare purposes. TWO OF THE FOUR RECORD COMPANIES, RCA Victor and Columbia had artists lined up to start recording the moment the contract was signed. Capitol also planned a quick start, while officials of Dbcca said they were in no rush. Industry officials hope the end of the ban will help bring the record business out of a 35% slump since last year. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN INC R EA S ES FM AUDIENCE Besides upping their 3 KW transmitter to 10 KW, the University of Michigan is increasing their audience in a systematic promotion scheme. Under the direction of Waldo Abbot, a monthly bulletin is sent to every known FM owner in the primary listening' area. Stacks of the bulletins are placed in every radio sales room. University Alumni Clubs get copies. The student.- operated wired radio system carries the WUOM. music to the University dormi¬ tories. Local restaurants carry WUOM music programs during the dinner hour, and are also given cards announcing that the music comes to them from WUOM. Commercial stations carry the live music programs with a WUOM station announce¬ ment. Another idea came from a doctor who was so impressed by the December musical programs that he purchased two FM receivers—one for his waiting room and one for the ward in his private hospital. The schedule is now mailed to all known doctors in the area.
