POSED in Inc Dill -VestaI bill.
Representatives OF the American
Society of Composers and Authors
appeared before the joint Committee

attacked the proposal az unfair. It
would eliminate bargaining by its
members and fix the same rates on

they declared.
Broadcasters advocated the bill.
Paul m. Klugh, executive chair
man OF the Broadcasters Associa

of the society,
The average rate now charged
broadcasters for use of cop..
riRhted music owned by society
members, he said, is $1.64 a day.
1T is impossible TO fix any set
rate on music that would be fair. :
