'Pieketing' 10 Keep
Unsponsored Bands
From 7 Radio Chains
Dispute With 2 Separate

All popular dance orchestras with

ruled of the airways Of the Ma

lumbia Broadcasting System under
new form of picketing the air.
ways.
This action was taken by James
G. Petrillo, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Musicians, an A.
F. OF L. affiliate. in an effort to force
two radio broadcast stations to en-
ploy staff orchestras. The order pre-
vents any N. B. C. or Columbia
chain station from picking up any
OF the orchestras' programs, even
though it may have a union contract
and employ a staff orchestra.
The ruling does not affect any or
chestra which has a /onsor. Those
affected are the orchestras playing
by contract to furnish programs in
hotels and night clubs, whose music
is picked up by remote control as a
form of sustaining program.
1t was explained that the reason
for denying the programs to any
station in either of the chains is
to prevent the two "picketed" sta
tions from getting the benefit of the
programs. But the effect of the
ruling is to deny these programs
to the listening public throughout
the country because of a dispute
with two widely separated stations,
each on different network.
The difficulty, it was said. grew
out OF disputes with Station KSTP
at St. Paul, affiliated with N. B. c.,
and Station WRVA at Richmond,
Va, affiliated with Columbia, over
employment by the stations of STU
dio orchestras. 1t is the same sort
of fight which occurred between the

stations must employ staff or

1t spends considerably more money
during the year for musicians serv-

would spend on a staff orchestra.
Although many of the orchestras
affected by the recent ruling have
had a regular place on network
programs for months, it has been
necessary to cancel them without

Senator johnson, Democrat, of

Wadsworth bill provisions would cost
the Nation 81 00,000,000 a year to
train 100000 conscripts. This was
at an estimated cost of 5000 an

however, estimates that a profess

The War Departments plans for
mass training has been developed
over the last 20 years. The Army
had 10 major concentration posts

SHANGHAI, July Sunday
The Chinese-Japanese war went
into its fourth year today, with the
end not yet in sight.
Dramatically opposed answers are
given by Japanese and Chinese au-
thorities to these questions:
How long can the war last?
Can Chungking survive If Japan
closes free China's remaining sources
Of foreign munitions supplies?.
Is Japan begging down at home
and In China?
Chang Kai-shek, Chinese gen.
eralissimo, says that If the war is
ending, 1t is ending in Japan's de-
feat.
Japanese military sources say
~this remnant government at
Chungking is collapsing. The war
already is over"
In an effort to discredit the
Chungking government, the Jap
anese opened negotiations Friday
with its Marking puppet govern
rnent for REIMBURSEMENT of Sino-
Japanese relations. establishment of
a new order in Eastern Asia, and
ending Of the Sino-Japanese Incl
dent
Forced Closing of Railway.
AS the third year of the war ended,
the Japanese forced French Indo-
China to close the railway to South
west China, over which, the Jap
anese claim, Chungking was get
ting vital munitions.
This route as a lifeline to Chung
king faded. but Japanese demand
that the British similarly close the
Burma overland route met rejection
from London.
This action of the British con-
stituted one of the big Ifs" in Sino-
japanese affairs as the fourth year
Of the war opened.
During the Burma crisis. the Brit
ish removed women and children
from Hong Kong, expecting a Jap
aNese blockade of the colony If Lon
don refused Japan's demand that the
overland route be closed.
If the Burma road is closed, op-
ponents of Chang Kai-shek say, it
will mean the demise of China. But
widespread opinion here is that in
stead of China collapsing, it is Japan
which is weakening.
Daily Raids on Chungking.
Best available information, how
ever, fails to indicate that Japan is
near a crackup. 1t seems assured
that she will continue her invasion
of China.
Today, Japan holds a sketchy oc-
cupation of Eastern China. The past
month has seen almost daily air
raids on Chungking, where the in
vaders rained death, hoping to crack
the Chinese morale But they got
only increased Chinese defiance.
Best available estimates place the
total dead and wounded in the three
year war at 5000 ,000-about 2,000,000
Chinese and 100000 Japanese.
China now has about 100000 SOL
diers on the Asiatic mainland and
Japan has about 100000.
The occupied areas are proving
troublesome to the Japanese, as the
Chinese residents refuse to CO.
operate with the invaders, and guer-
rilla warfare is sapping Japanese
men and morale.
In recent months, the Japanese
established the puppet government
in Nanking, with Wang Ching-wei
as head. The effect of this upon
China's fighting legions remains to
be seen.
