Every stato, county and city

f AST week owners of ruillo
bl'OtldcnStlllg Stations Illltl OXO-
cullves of tho major networks
met In ttuntiul convention. Tho
meeting was tn Han Francisco.
Apparently u 1 1 broadcasters
Imvo plenty of problems but tills
year, being tho end of u five your
license period, tho topflight prob
lem discussed at tbo mooting wits
music copyright. You might suy
that what broadcasters do about
the Btibject ot copyright is their
own affair and of no interest to
you. Hut If you won) to say that,
vn ...,l,l lt U'l'uwr II lu iU.
tlon that is us closo to nil of tlx
us our living' room ruillo , set,
Evoryono who listens to radio
nnd nearly overyono does at least
a little lias an Interest lu this
buttle over music.
Briefly hero is tho slory. Koine
years ago u group of very smart
men set out through an organiza
tion of authors, - composers and
. publishers, to control Ilio conv-
, right ownership of all or nearly
all of tho music ordinarily played
in America. They were astound
iiiRly successful. The copyright
law was of great help for II pro-
' vldes' absolute ownership of a
composition for a total period of
56 yours. Purchase of copyrights
took care of tho past production
bf tunes and membership in tho
society provided for control of cur
rently produced ami future tunes
by good composers. Tim romulud-
' or of Ihe problem ot these clover
organizers was to see that tho con-
.ironed, music was loalnrod and
becumn popular and that the
tunes Touted by Ibclr member
ship oT composers, and only lliose
llllieH. U-ei-i, em-t-enl Iv iii,l t,,,i,u.
lar. The organization referred to
Is ordinarily known us ASCAP
being tho initials for tbo lull
lianio tbo Anioi-lcan Society or
Composers, Authors tind Publish-
A very clever speaker al tho
'convention of broadcasters sug
gested that another Initial, the let-
tor "O" should be added to the
name making It ASCAl'O since
ail concerned received some bene
fits and Ihe organization group tn
charge nt the copyright pool Is re
ported to aliuro most generously.
The, ASCAl'O bus been riding
rough shod over Ihe hi-oadcasUng
Industry as If did over Ihe movies
until a powerful group of movie
producers spent many million
and bought a substantial amount
of music copyrights. A row high
lights of Ihe roughness of Ihe AS
CAl'O shoes are these: For five
years ending liecember III this
,year, ASCAl'O has collected five
per cent of every dollar spent on
radio advertising except from n
tfew stations owned by powerful
newspapers. Kven programs lhal
. iise no music (except political
'talk!) ui'o taxed. For example
, news broadcasts, baseball ami
football games are laxed for the
,'pse or MUSIC! The total oollcr
llon on Unit basis is around live
.minimis annually. Having what
they believed to be a monopoly
.ASCAl'O recently announced thai
this amount is to be DOIIBLIOD
beginning January 1, l!Ml. No
, Wonder tbo hroadcusters have- be
come arouseo. rtnoiuer oone oi
contention Is that tho copyright
organization has never told the
broadcasters Ihe names of till of
tho lunos on which Ihey hold copy
right ownership.
Now Ihe radio men are going lo
Represented by
strike back. , They . have bought
numerous small copyright pools.
They hnve been grooming now
composers. They have formed a
fighting organization known
Broadcast Music Incorporated (or
BMI). Having gone so far they
plan to go the whole route and on
January 1 all of the threo major
networks and most of the radio
stutlons of the land will play no
more ASCAl' music. Radio will
plug and popularize music as al
ways but the tunes will bo own
ed by radio. This was the deci
sion of tho mooting.
And so, to go buck to the as
sertion made at the beginning of
this column, the music preforences
of an entire nation will probably
undergo a positive swing away
from ASCAl' controlled tunes and
to II.MI (radio) controlled tunes In
tho very near futuro. Our curs
will probably not be able to de
tect tho difference.

"Tho soviet union always has

Ihe prompting or (lerniany, which
Is reported to have advised the
Bucharest government to seek a
speedy sclllclnclll.)
The article said most of south
ern Dohruja's people are Bulgars.
Rumanian authorities were ac
cused of "putting into operation
oppressive machinery" and "or
ganizing a military pri'.',nuu"
which caused a great number or
Bulgarian peasants to lice from
the province.

guess we re two or a kind, and
she'll be a big help to me when 1
got my own band and my own
club. If I ever do. But what wor
ries me Is she don't get alimony
any more and she don't made an
twlnl lot -at tho club and already
she's stewing around about
clothes. Honest, Jan, I'm afraid
I'll never make enough money to
keop her satisfied."
"Thon why (lid she marry you?"
Jau demanded with asperity, an
noyed and embarrassed ut John
ny's confidences.
Ills answer was blunt enough.
"We were both a little tight. Oh,"
ho added hastily, seeing the shock
in her eyes, "we were far from
drunk, but we wouldn't have
done it. at least not then, If we
hadn't had several cocktails."
'If that Is true." June said angri
ly, "you're pretty much of a cad
to admit It to anybody!"
There you go again with your
Victorian, or whatever you call it,
line." he accused. "Oh, I'm crazy
about her,, all right, but I know
darned well she'll never .stick by
me." ,.
"You might ho wrong. Any
how, you're speaking of your wife
and I don't llko your attitude."
A stubborn, donuut expression
wiped the usual bland look from
Ills face. "Jan. you must be cither
blind or stupid! What I'm trying
to tell you is tho whole thing is a
mistake. I thought 1 wanted so
phistication and I've found out I
don't. All the time I renlly want
ed someone sweet and whole
some and good llko you. I'm still
in love with you. Jan. This Is Just
Infatuation. Will you give mo a
chalice? I'll divorce ltoso and start
over again."
"Not with me, you won't!" she
snapped. "You're complete des
picable, Johnny. Don't bother
coming here again." She turned
and ran to the kitchen, enor
mously relieved when he did not
follow. Yet upset us she was, she
would have boon much more so
if she had listened in on the con
versation between Hose a n d
Lanco upstairs.
. "So that's how it happened,"!
Hose finished, duplloittlng her hus
band's story, but witli more
finesse, to Lanco. She sat on the
arm of his chair, a forlorn siren
turned out in u blue flannel slack
suit with a guy silk scarf tied
over her black hair. Her gorgeous
hazel eyes .brooded with resent
munt. She raged Inwardly be
cause all of her well-laid plana
had misfired. Tho fact or her mar
riage to Johnny effectively cut
her off from opportunity. Too, she
bad been irked und phpicd by
Lance's calm acceptance of her
marriage. She wanted admiration
und consolation. Her vanity de
manded it. So, thoughtlessly, seir
ishly, she ogoin sought to uwaken
a flame or desire in Lance.
"I'm just sick about the whole
mess. Lance, and 1 don't know
quite where to turn or what to do.
1 thought you might advise me."
'Hoping and Praying'
He said heavily, resenting the
tact that sho could still move
liltn, swav his emotions. "There
isn't anything f could say lo you
now. Hose. I'm leaving for New
York tomorrow for a- oonsullatinn
with Doctor Murray. If he can do
anything about these legs of mine
I'll be flying again, and I fly
again I'll have plenty ot money.
If bo can't do anything, well"
"Then Pll bo hoping and pray
ing for you," she whispered, put
ting her soft, powdered cheek
against his. "I cared for you so
much. Lance, but I couldn't sec
any way out for either of us.
And Jan Insisted I upset you. She
thought I should slay away from
you. That's why I changed, why
I tried tn make you believe I was
bard and greedy and grasping.
I'm not really. I want what most
women want and what I've never
had n chance to have: a husband
I love, a home and children. John

voice. "I thought I'd recovered
Ironi you. but, I haven't."
Neither or tiieui heard the door
open, then close again, but Norma
had seen nnd heard enough to

and stricken.
"You fool." she said. "You poor,

waves In her hair and pinned II
Into a severe roll, look orr her

donned her sensible tweeds, add
ed tlte rinishing touch of glasses.
To Jan's, surprised Imniiry, she
stated levelly: ' Tin getting back
Into my schoolteacher role. Jan.
My school opens in two weeks,
you know-."
"But I thought you were going
to New York with Lance and

Norma, by determined effort,
kept her voice calm. "It might
mean losing my job here and hav
ing lo wait until next semester for
another school somewhere If I left
now. No. Jan. 1 u. litv on here un

"Rosa Is calling for us in the
morning. She offered to drive us
to the railroad station lu town.
Her car Is comfortable aud It'll
save the bother of Frank going
along to carry mo from the In

the train. Oil, .Ian, tho doctor has
got to fix me up! I don't want to
go on living If 1 can't walk!"
Rose, Again
..Tears, misted her eyes.,. "I was
fearful qf this," she murmured.
"You promised, Lanco, you said it
wouldn't make any difference "
"You don't understand," ho told
her; bitterly.
"But I do understand," she
thought, going to her own. room.
It was Rose again. Oh, Lance de
served better than this. She
tloubted if Rose could gi' love
to any man. And Norma must
have seen or heard something.
"I'd like to take a stick to that
Rose!" Jan snapped. Then it oc
curred to her that although she
was, literally, her brother's keep
er. ,he had no light to be, figura
tively. Lance was nearly thirty
one years old. Certainly it was
his right to make his own choice,
his own decisions, "But not at
Normu's oxponso! And no mutter
what 1 promised Norma, I'm going
to tell Lance it's her money pro
viding this chance for him!"
In the morning Jan insisted
Frank como with them to the
train, determined . not to . lcavo
Rose and Lance alono for even a
moment. Ruth Crouln appeared at
the station to assure them she had
persuaded Mr. S0I10I, the store
manager, to write Doctor Murray
by air mail, asking that he soo
Lance at his earliest convenience.
Frank ensconced Lunce as com
fortably as possible, in the. draw
ing room compartment on the
train, kissed Jan's cheek goodby,
and handed her a heap of hastily
selected magazines and a basket
of fruit.
"You look grand," Ritlh toid
her, admiring the tailored suit
with matching topcoat and perky
suede hat she had chosen for her.
The outfit, was a deep bluo nubby
tweed and the hat and shoes were
a tighter shade of blue. Jan, at
Ruth's Insistence, bad had her
hair shaped and waved by a mas
ter beautician at Blalock's and tho
result was not tho Jan of Sea
Tide, but a new and superbly
smart young person who, us Tol
as . appearance was concerned,
would hold her own with any one
of New York's charmers.
Hoso llngerod oil n moment,
hoping Jan would leave her a
moment with Lance, but Jan be
gan to mpack and arrange their
traveling things and exhibited no
slightest Intention of leaving. Yet
she could not help seeing the way
Lance clung to Rose's slender
hands, bordered as always, at the
wrists, by jangling bracelets.
Then the train began slowly to
move and Rose had to go.
After awhile, when the train
rolled perkily through the city's
outskirts, Lanca asked indifferent
ly, "Why did Norma change her
mind about going with us?"
"Her school, I guess. She didn't
want, to lose it."
"Of course," he said, relieved.
"You didn't tell 'me. but I know
you must have .borrowed money
I'roiu Frank or Ruth."
She didn't . answer, b u I. lie
seemed, in his abstraction, not to
notice. "I won't tell him yet." she

can say is, we nro sorry . you
have no concern for our future

America, and What it stands for
there comes l.o my mind a poom
that was written In praise of an
other country. "Breathes there
a man with sfltil so dead, who
never to himrelf has said, this Is
my . own my native land.". (Sir
Walter Scott). It matters not
whether you were horn here or
had the good fortune to come
here, the same thought ought t.o
be true. The very wold Ameri
ca should strike a deep chord in
your soul that refuses to remain
mute until America has been
made truly Christian. This Is
our minimum obligation. Bui
s.gin-.?tlilng more than patriotism
is necessary. With Edith Ctivell
I agree, "Patriotism Is not
enough." Wo must go beyond
patriotism. We must recover
something of that tloep spiritual
Impulse upon which our Ameri
can Institutions were founded,
and upon which the spiritual as
pirations of all the citizens of
tho future America will depend
if there is to bo an America
worthy the name. "God bless
America," but that is not
enough, we must be willing to
be the kind of citizen up.-n
which America can Dunn. Amen.
