Fm stations in 40 top markets started carrying the spots as of April 24 and 26. Frequencies reach a peak of 100 spots per station for a maximum six-week period. Spots are transcribed and take an unusual tack: the agency selected professional people — a doctor and lawyer — and a housewife, among others, to state why they oppose the bill and voice support for the AMA choice, the Kerr-Mills bill. The agency suggested fm because the audience has a high percentage of well-educated people who are apt to be influential opinion leaders in their communities. Buyer is John Wussow.
