Radio Chains Reach
A.5.C.A.P. Agreement
Cutting Music Costs
Networks to Keep
B. M. |. as Active
Competitor in Field

On the verge of entering a new
eight-year agreement with the
American Society of Composers
Authors and Publishers, the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. and Colum-
bia Broadcasting System are pre-
pared to keep competition alive in
the radio music field by continuing
to support Broadcast Music, Inc.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcasters,
said today that N B. c. and c. B. S
had pledged to support B. M. l
for the period of the new contract
which A. S. c. A. P. has offered the
radio chains and individual broad
casting stations.
Contract Still Unsigned.
Mr.. Miller said no N. B. c. or
c. B. S. stations had actually signed
the new contract, but he indicated
in his statement that the agree
ment was acceptable to the indus
try
The contract, which would run
until December 81, 1949, would pave
the way to reduction of approx
mately 40 per cent in the cost of
music to the average radio station,
he said, but would increase the
overall cost to the networks by about
so per cent.
A. S. c. P. music has been off
the N B. C. and c. B. S. networks
since January l because of a fall
ure of the broadcasters and the
music society to agree on terms Of
new licensing agreements. B. M. l.,
the rival music publishing organi-
zation, was formed under sponsor
ship of the broadcasters.
Praises Competition.
Indicating that the new A. S. c.
A. P. contract was acceptable to the
industry, Mr.. Miller said: =
I'VE have at last established COM
petition in the music field, and be-
cause of that fact the contracts
now offered are better than We
anticipated we could secure when
we started out three years ago.
= The present agreements with
A. S. C. P. represent a new step
forward. The spirit of co-opera-
ton and understanding manifest
ed by this industry during the past
few years with respect to music
problems will undoubted-
ly carry 1t forward in years to
come"
He credited what he called the
present achievement of fair and
competitive market for music" to
the operation of B. M. I.
The National Broadcasting Co.
some time ago that it
had agreed with A. S. c. A. P. on
terms of new contract which would
return A. S. c. A. P. music to the
N. B. c. networks. Mr.. Miller said
that both N. B. c. and c. B S.
were waiting for the consent of
a majority OF their member sta
tions before signing the new con-
tract.

N.B.C. Head Proposes
Network Setup for
Defense Coordination
Two Committees Planned
To Develop Program
For Public Service

The formation Of two planning
and advisory committees for closer
radio coordination on defense was
proposed today by Niles Trammell,
National Broadcasting Co. president,
in letter to the 239 stations which
make up the Red and Blue national
network service Of N. B. C.
His proposal calls for development
Of definite program to be organized
on a cooperative basis among the
239 stations and the company. The
objective, he explained, is an in
tegrated broadcasting service geared
to the demand Of the Nations de-
fense requirements and the joint
problems of network and station
operation in the public service.
To Mobilize Joint Resources.
while we have been preparing
for some time to meet all demands
of national defense requirements"
Mr.. Trammell said in his letter, Il
believe the time has come for us to
sit down together to mobilize our
joint resources.
The vital part that the network
organization and the 239 affiliated
stations will play to keep their serv-
ices at all times sensitively in tune
with the Nations growing defense
problems and the maintenance of
public morale, calls for careful plan
ming and complete coordination of
thought and effort"
Committees of Seven.
Each committee will consist of
seven members who will represent
the different regions into which the
country has been segmented, accord
ing to the proposed plans. Repre-
Sentatives ultimately will be selected
by the members of N. B. C.'s Red
and Blue network services In the
respective districts on a basis to be
determined by the stations.
To facilitate plans, Mr.. Trammell
said, temporary members for the
two committees already have been
invited to attend an organization
meeting in New York November 4
for the Red Network Station and
Planning Advisory Committee and
the following day for the Blue net
work group.

De Valera Says Britain
Respects Fires RIGHTS

By tie Associated Press
MULLINGAR, Fire, Oct. g.
Prime Minister Eamon de Valera
said yesterday that Britain thus far
had conducted the war with a
worthy regard for Fire, but that the
Irish people should remember that
their risks while this war lasts will
inevitably increase from day to day."
Addressing troops at conclusion
of local maneuvers, Mr.. De Valera
said:
so far in the main our rights
have been respected, and I think 1t
only fair in this connection to
acknowledge that the belligerent
nearest to us, Great Britain, despite
temptations and urgings of certain
propagandists, has not succumbed
to them and has not behaved un-
worthily."

Another feature of the survey was
the finding that there has been a
Is per cent increase in rents asked
for vacant units as against rentals
for vacancies in January. 1t should
be emphasized, however, that this
phase of the survey was concerned
only with vacancies, not all rents, and
that it is not conclusive, since the va
cant properties covered in the latest
survey were not necessarily the same
as those surveyed in January. In
fact, it is indicated that part of the
rental increase resulted from the in
cluSion Of new construction in the

increase in rents for units which
were in existence on January that

corrected by passage of the pending

Style Bossy
At a recent convention OF {

At a recent convention OF dairy
products researchers in New York
the announcement was made that.
by spring, cloth would be produced
from milk. From casein, a by
product of milk and the main in
gredient Of cheese, can be spun a
yarn suitable for weaving, or so goes
the yarn spun by the dairy re-
searchers.
Spring fashions will no doubt be
predicated on this new fabric, and
indirectly Bossy will set the style.
What the well-dressed woman will

life is simpler, grass is harvested and

here, where life is complex, it evi-

The grouse. of course Is q much larger
bird. 1t is some 10 inches long, whereas
the bobwhite is Just 10 inches long
The coloring Of the bobwhite makes 1t
perfect for mingling with dried leaves Of
autumn. Its plumage above is chestnut,
with black and tawny, mixed; below 1t is
different shades of brown with black
marks. The feathers Of the crown are
somewhat erectile.
The eggs, from dozen TO l8 or 20, are
laid on the ground.
The chicks, or whatever you call 'em,
can run like rabbits a half hour after
they are born. and will scatter In the
best quail manner
These birds seem to have a special af-
fection for one another, remaining to-
gether at all times even sleeping in
circle on the ground. their bodies pressed
together for warmth, their heads all
pointing outward. This formation is for
the purpose of allowing them to fly up
and away at moments notice.
The pairs are faithful TO each other,
and seem to love their young more than

On the second batch of eggs The eggs

Quail have many enemies. including
hawks. owls, cats, snakes-and man.
That is one reason they like to proVl
in thickets, especially along old fence
lines.
Here they get some protection from
hawks, but are more likely to be seized by
cats.
Our personal belief is that the average
house cat is intimidated by the size of a
hobw lite, especially by the mass move
ment of the bevy or covey.
Cats work on natures old plan
adopted in recent years by some ma
tions-that an attack must always be
against a smaller foe. No chances must
he taken: if the foe or victim is larger,
or even the same size, it must be let
alone, but if it is smaller, it is fair game.
When the members Of a group Of quail
are scattered for time, they never rest
until they are all united again.
Softly they call, time and time again
making some beautiful music together,
until they are all united.
Incubation takes q days, or there

In the mating season. the males fight
fercely. but once the mates are selected,
thev get along very well.
These birds are the American repre-

Gallery q Magnet

How abundantly justified was the
faith of Andrew w. Mellon in the
power of his Gallery to attract the
cooperation of other collectors of
pictures again has been demonstrated
convincingly by the loan of twenty
five paintings illustrating the de-
velopment of French art from the
time of Jacques-Louis David G748-
1925 to that of Paul Cezanne 1s39-
1906.
The canvases first exhibited last
night are the property of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chester Dale of New York.
Placed on display for an indefinite
time through their kindness, they
"fill an important gap" in the show"
provided by the late Secretary of the
Treasury and notably supplemented
by Samuel H. Kress. Modern not
only in their date but also in their
conception and execution, the entire
sequence of works is needed to sup
plement the masterpieces of earlier
periods already permanently in
stalled.
One of the most engaging novelties
is Auguste Renoirs Diana" dated
1867-an achievement which suffices
to prove with what skill and purity
of purpose the painter was endowed
In his youth. Another triumph is
a portrait of his brother Achille
In the uniform of cadet, product
OF the genius of Edgar Degas when
he, too, was young. Mention likewise
is demanded for Edouard Manet's
"Old Musician" a study of an ancient
fiddler surrounded by his admirers
including an unforgettable little girl
with baby in her arms.
These are pictures easy to appre-
ciate. yet they are possessed of the
qualities which great esthetic enter
prises must have if they are to move
the gratitude of successive genera
tions of people. Mr.. Dale and his
wife, herself a critic of acknowledged
distinction, have assembled their
treasures with discrimination as well
