Petrillo, head of the American Federation of Musicians (AFL) was set today for committee consideration in the House. Chairman Lea (D-Calif.) of the Commerce committee introduced it and scheduled a committee on it tomorrow. Rep. Brown (R-Ohio) of the committee predicted passage. “The country is pretty well fed up with Petrillo,” Brown said. “He has gone too far.” Lea told reporters that Petrillo has made demands upon broad casters which “a self-respecting government cannot afford to per mit.” The bill would outlaw force or threats to compel a radio station: 1. To "pay tribute” for the privi lege of producing or using records, transcriptions or mechanical, chemical or electrical reproduc nuns. 2. To employ more persons than it wants. 3. To refrain from broadcast ing a non-commercial, educational or cultural program where the participants receive no pay. 4. To refrain from broadcasting programs originating abroad. One of Petrillo’s demands, Lea said, would “compel the broad raster to pay financial tribute to the American Federation of Musi rians for broadcasting transcrip tions where no .service whatever is performed by members of that organization. “Another demand was made that, under penalty of boycott, a station which permitted noncompensated musicians to participate in musical, educational or cultural programs would be required to pay the Fede. ration an amount equal to the com pensation which would have been paid had members of the organiza tion performed the service, even though they performed .no service whatever.” The^ union recently requested stations to ban broadcasts in this :ountry of musical programs origi nating in other countries, except Canada.'

I Cotton Belt Congressmen Line Up For OPA Fight - ★ WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. —UP)— Cotton belt Congr; -n will be called into special session Friday morning to serve on OPA a united v ning that it may be abolished it ceilings are placed' on the 1946 cotton crop. The all-Dixie protest meeting was set today at a '--.-.-.vs of the Georgia house delegation with H. L. Wingate, Pulham, Ga., presi dent of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation. Declaring cotton statesmen are “all plenty mad” at the OPA pro posal, Rep. Vir:_.i (D-Ga). chair man, told the Georgia meeting that southerners would vote to end all price controls June 30 before they would consent to cotton ceil ings. Rep. Tarver (D-Ga> urged early action by southern Senators and representatives, declaring that cot tcn prices and planting are being jeopardized by the possibility of 1946 ceilings. OPA Administrator Chester Bowles has said ceilings may not be imposed if the cotton market becomes stabilized. “The south does not propose to be subjected to this type of in justice,” declared Tarver, “with out doing everything we can to wcicai iL, The OPA has contended ceilings may be necessary to halt specula tion and an inflation threat on the cotton market. Tarver and Wingate told the Ccorgians that the OPA ceiling scale would hole the price of labor in. southern cotton fields to 25 cents an hour. Haw material in cotton goods, Wingate said, is “infinitesimal” in cost, compared with the con sumer price. In a cotton shirt, he said, raw material cost was about 10 cents and in a cotton dress, 20 cents. “If this ceiling goes into effect,” he declared, “you’re going to have the sorest bunch of farmers in a long time.” Wingate said he did not think farmers would object, however, to ceilings based on the proposed parity formula of Rep. Pace (D Ga), which would take into at count the cost of farm labor.
