The ban follows upon secession of tho eight major music publish ing houses from the American bo oitv nt Comnosers.

Harms; Harms, Inc.; New World, witmirk. Remlck. Victoria. Gershwin and Rodart (Rogers and Hart). Radio May Lose Two immediate results are probable.

Confronted with the published reports he was prepared to grant Hauptmann a 30-day stay of exe cution should the court of pardons refuse clemency, the governor; through his press representative, William Conklin, said "at the present time I have no such plan in mind."
