HOME RECEPTION
IS UNCHANGED
Court Decision on Copyright
Affects Only Hotels and
Business Places.
BY MARTIN CoDEL.

Radio reception In the home Is in no
wise restricted or otherwise adversely
affected by the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States holding
that the reproduction of a copyrighted
musical composition on q radio set in
stalled in a hotel for the entertain
ment Of guests constitutes an infringe
ment Of copyright.
In its broad aspects the decision APP
pears to mean that hotels, theaters,
waiting rooms, barber shops and other
places of aSsemblage where radios are
operated must secure license from the
copyright owner to reproduce such mu-
sic on their receiving sets.
At least, that Is the Interpretation
being placed upon the decision by the
American Society OF Authors, Compos-
ers and Publishers, which has an
nounced that 1t is drawing up a sched-
ule Of license fees to be charged insti-
buttons conducted for profit where ra-
dos are operated.
Pay 100000 in Fees.
The decision was rendered In the
case of Gene Buck, president of the
American Society, versus the Jewell La
Sale Realty Co., operators of a hotel
IN kansas City, charged with infring-
Ing copyright because the radio in its
lobby reproduced q composition broad
cast by a radio station net holding q
license from the society. Most of the
500 American stations hold licenses to
broadcast copyrighted selections, pay
Ing an aggregate of well over 1000 900
annually for the privilege. The fee
ranges from $3.50 a year for the very
small stations TO $4,000 q year for the
high-powered stations.
Though the radio industry "a much
perturbed over the decision, viewing It
as an obstacle to the DEVELOPMENT Of
the radio set market among places Of
congregation, which may be taxed BY
the society for the privilege of having
radios, ray Of hope to forestall these
effects Of the decision is seen BY broad.
casters. manufacturers and other inter-
ested parties.
Distinction Is Seen.
The Kansas City case grew out of
the reproduction in the hotel of a
copyrighted selection broadcast by a
station not holding a license to perform
1t: Omc1als OF the National Association
OF Broadcasters and the Radio Manu-
facturers' Association see q distinction
between such q performance and the
reproduction Of selection broadcast by
a station already paying the license
fee to the copyright holder. The clear
inference to be drawn from Justice
Brandeis' opinion, they say, is that the

orator. couple Of thousand friends who
predicted great success for him on the
stage. and not even the remotest
prospect Of job.
Radio was still novelty. So Ball
tucked his uke under one arm and
waved good-by to Providence with the
other. For a year he was q wandering
minstrel Of the big movie houses of the
country, putting on, with no little sue
cess, his act with guitars and such, and
serving as master Of ceremonies for
movie house shows. In between he
served as director Of amusements in
metropolitan clubs and hotels.
And then radio and Ball came into
their own. Network broadcasting began
the loud speaker sup Wanted the ear
phones In the American home; high
priced talent from concert stage, vaude-
vile and movies stormed the doors of
broadcasting studios and trained an
nouncers were badly needed Ball and
Columbia got together. And that was
that.

PY far the majority Of radio lis

most popular during March.

of the responding stations. Other
leaders were 1.-THE Peanut Vendor

you're Driving Me Crazy" which
were the third leading choices.
A few stations reported audi
ences with preferences other than
dance music. Station WIS, Chi
cago, for example, claiming main
ly rural audience, reported that
melodies like Bury Me Out on
the Prairie" Mrs. Murphy's
Chowder," Turkey in the Straw"
and Missouri Waltz" were most
popular with it's audience.
Station WCCO, Minneapolis, re-
ported that Scandinavian music
was the first choice of it's audi
ence. Songs of the old West were
demanded by listeners of KFDN,
CaSpar, Wyo., and old time
melodies were preferred by the
audiences of WIBW, Topeka

NANKING, China. September 10
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh ar
rived here today for a four-day stay,
but because the colonel was not sat
ished with the place officials had
picked for him to land. Markings re-
ception was somewhat delayed.
The flying vacationists arrived over
the city at 2:36 pm. q SO am. Eastern
standard time), and after circling sew
eral times over the flooded Yangtze
River. finally alighted on Lotus Lake,
Just outside Markings rambling city
wall.
Built Special Wharf.
City dignitaries, however, had ar
ranged for him to land on the water
front, where they had constructed a
special wharf to which his monoplane
was to be moored, and had several
platoons of soldiers and some refresh
mentS on hand.
The Lindberghs made the S00-mile
hight from Fukuoka, Japan, in about
712 hours.
Meanwhile the dignitaries, including
Foreign Minister Wang, Consul General
and Mrs. Peck and Gen. Hung of the
Aviation Bureau, waited on the wharf,
in the river. Shortly after o'clock
an army plane, which had escorted
the Lindberghs, few over and signaled
them that the Americans had landed
on Lotus Lake.
Floods Swell Lake.
Oficials struggled to shore from the
wharf in native boats to dry land,
where they took automobiles and rushed
70 the lake to welcome the couple.
Lindbergh apparently believed the
Yangtze was too rough to make a
safe landing and, after five times cir
cling around and feinting at landing,
came down on the lake, which nor
mally is only Chinese park with an
artificial pond. The recent floods, how
ever, had increased it's size.
