Another meeting date will be set for general attendance before final adoption of the code of fair trade practice, after which it will go into effect and be binding both upon the music men and radio or other talent with whom the former comes in contact. Before the code takes effect, in so far as the bribery clause is concerned, each side will have an opportunity to purge itself in any individual case wherein an alleged bribe took place either on the giving or taking end. By presenting or explaining the case in question, it may forestall investigation by the FTC and resultant penalties provided in the code. Any radio artists involved in a situation where money or gifts directly or indirectly was received from a music publisher or his representative, and which may be construed or misconstrued as a bribe, has the privilege of communicating with John G. Paine, chairman of the board of the Music Publishers' Protective Association, so that the matter may be taken up prior to actual operation of the code and the industry comes under the direct supervision (as to fair trade practices) of the FTC. This applies either to the donor or receiver of the bribe in question. Suggestion or complaints also are to be forwarded to Paine. Such complaints may be in the nature of a music man complaining about a certain artist who demanded fees for singing a song, or an orchestra leader for playing the number. Whatever purging is done now will probably preclude investigation of the matter later on. Leading music men are being backed by program directors of the leading networks. Latter include such officials as John Royal, vicepresident in charge of programs for National Broadcasting Company. Royal has long been among those who believed that radio should be free of paid plugs, and .has done much to help stamp it out.
