NBC is also trying to sell the games to Buick. If bought, games will be aired on only one network as an exclusive, it is reasonably certain. Whether the games are sold commercial or not, listeners will not lose out because plans have already been laid to air the games as a sustaining feature. William A. Brady Sues Over "Way Down East" (Continued from page 1) play which he acquired in 1897. Also that he sold the picture rights to D. W. Griffith for $175,000 and since then the talkie rights for $50,000 to the Rural Picture Corp. The play is still being played in stock, Brady sets forth, and the broadcasts using the same title and characters constitutes unfair competition. Damages of $250,000 are sought and accounting of the profits of the previous broadcasts series last season.
