In the Ben Ludy vs. free plugs con troversy ("Dear Miss Freeloader," sponsor, 27 June), as far as KXLR is concerned now, in the past and in the future, there is no controversy The first person who mentions brand name product on the station that hasn't paid for the time, auto matically gets fired. Miss Fran Riley, who last week defended the practice of "publicity releases," states that she does not drag out the commercial plug just for the sake of the commercial. Yet, can she or any publicity department deny that the end result of all their work is to get a free mention for their client? Would all this paper work be done and all this money be spent just to get some "very informative and educational material" to the more than 3,000 radio stations? How many stations who have ever used this free material have ever had a paid spot campaign from any one of the freeloaders? Why should they pay, when radio will give them a free ride and beg for more? If all the money that was spent in gathering this "free" material and mailing it were used to place spot campaigns, then the client would get what he paid for and radio would stop being the step-child that it is fast becoming. Our feeling is that if our facilities are good enough and respected enough for a client to take the trouble to try to cage a free plug, then this client knows that radio can deliver the goods. If we stop taking it free, eventually we'll get paid. If we don't stop giving free plugs, then we deserve Texas Guinan's old greeting: "Hello, Sucker." Roy C.
