COPYRIGHT FIGHT
/ TAKES NEW FORM
Rickering of Owners and
Broadcasters to Give Way
to Legal Parleying.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

The petty pickering and bitter ecri-
inony that have marked the progress
of negotiations between American
broadcasters and copyright owners ever
since the latter last Spring announced
their intention of increasing the scale
of fees imposed for extending to radio
the kind permission of the copyright
owners will now give way to legal par
1eyihg of a higher order. with the reten-
ton Of Newton D. Baker, noted Cleve-
land attorney ana former Secretary of
War in the Wilson cabinet. to repre-
sent the National Association of Broad
casters in copyright matters.
Appointment Of Baker.
The appointment Of Mr. Baker grows
out Of the resolution Of the recent
broadcaSters' convention in st. Louis.
authorizing the enlistment of competent
representation and counsel in handling
radios manifold problems. Though Mr..
Baker Is by no means to be regarded as
radios new "c2ar," so far as copyright
matters are concerned the authority
vested in him will be practically dicta-
tOrial.
Mr. Bakers acceptance of the rami-
fled task Of adjusting radios differ
enoes with the American Society of
Composers, Authors ard Publishers is
being hailed with delight in broadcast
ing circles. Radio station operators
hitherto have felt themselves at the
mercy of the copyright owners because
OF the long standing law. which they
have repeatedly protested to Congress
as antiquated, penaIzlng musical copy
right infringements at $3.50 per per-
tOrmance.
Law Repeatedly Sustained.
This law. written long before radio
was developed. has repeatedly been sus-
tanned against radio in the court ac-
tions brought under it. Since popular
current music, most of which is repre-
sented In the A. s. c. A. P. copyright
pool, is regarded as absolutely necessary
to the operation Of a radio station or
network, the broadcasters have been
required to pay an aggregate of approx
imately Sl00O, 900 year for licenses to
perform the society's music.
Until last year each network and
station haS pald fiat license fee to
the society, dealing directly with 1t.
1t WIS arbitrarily fixed. On September
l last the society ordered new scale
Of fees into effect, with the object Of
deriving at least $3.090000 year from
radio. II blamed radio for cutting into
sheet music and phonCgraph sales. and
for shortening the life of new music,
although its members have themselves
voluntarily used radio extensively to
introduce and plug new songs.
The new scale of fees in general en-
braced the old arbitrary fees to cover
sustaining or non-commercial programs,
but added a requirement that each and
every station pay per cent of its gross
receipts from all commercial programs
during the first year, per cent the
second year and 5 per cent the third
year of the newly offered contracts.
Some 400 of the 600 stations are already
reported to have signed the contracts.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-31
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League

Practically every group of con- tract players today who are really interested in learning the game, have a set of duplicate trays avail able.
 Several years ago the cost of duplicate trays was prohibitive, but today practically every de- parment store handles this equip ment at very low prices. There is no question but that duplicate bridge is more entertaining than the ordinary form of party bridge. However, l am today going to give you a new use for your du- plicate trays.
 Bridge articles are somewhat difficult to follow unless you take the time to lay the cards ou: on the table. However, here is my suggestion:
 If you belong to a group of four, or eight, peoplt you are in the habit of meeting at definite times for an evening of bridge, have the hostess for the next party clip the bridge articles from the paper. Let her take a deck of cards for each hand, sort it, and place the hand in the duplicate trays.
 Each hand for each article should be separated and placed in a separate duplicate tray. When your club meets for its party you will have either six or 12 hands, as the case may be. set up in dupli- cate trays.
 Before starting on your regu- lar bridge party place the dupli- cate trays on the table and have your group bid and play the hands. After the bidding and play have been completed sort the cards out agann, giving each one back his original hand, and now delegate one of the group to read the daily artcile which goes with that particular hand.
 In this manner you can com pare your bidding and play with that given in the article, and there is no question in my mind but that this is the simplest and best method of correctly learning contract bridge.
 Do not read the articles before play starts, but after the bidding and play has been completed. In this manner you will find out when and where you made your mistakes. It has often been said that experience is the best teacher.
 After playing the six or F - hands, and discussing pro and con the different points brought out in each article, you will find that you have easily and clearly mastered a fairly complete bridge lesson.
 Another suggestion would
