|, networks and individual stations and the American Society of Com posers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). The ban went into ef- feet yesterday as a result of the re- fuSal of the networks and most of the nations stations to sign new agreement for the use of the more than 1,500,000 numbers in the ASCAP catalog. The broadcasters claim that the price asked by ASCAP is prohibitive; ASCAP re- torts that radio should pay more than 1t has for the privilege of us- ing the songs written and published by its members.
 Limited Programs
 Missing from the air today were most of the standard and popular songs of the last years. Musical programs were limited to numbers in the public domain because of the expiration of copyright and songs published by Broadcast Mu- sic, Inc. (BM), formed by the net works and stations to write and publish their own music.
 Not to be heard today were such selections as God Bless America. 1" "Old Man River" many Irish songs such as Mother Machree." favorite numbers from musical comedies and operettas of the past two genera tionS, many operatic and serious se- lectionS. and practically all the songs that WaterburianS have hum. meG. whistled and sung for years.
 Were sticking to our guns," said James Parker, studio director of Station WATR." It may be a long fight, but we're in it to the finish. i"
 Officials of VERY also stated their determination not to use ASCAP songs until the dispute has been settled. "It's a mess" said Waldo Newbury, musical director of VERY.
 The ban on AsCAp music has brought headaches to station off, cialS. Every program has to be checked and double checked to make sure that no ASCAP selections are used. This involves much de- tailed research, but has to be done because each violation will cost the station $250.
 Change In Numbers
 There is already seen a tendency to reduce the number of musical programs, supplanting them with interviews, talks, etc.
 During broadcaStS of the Bowl football games yesterday, announc- CTS worked from Soundproof booths $ that no frbidden selectin played by a band o nthe field might seep into the microphone.
 Exceptions Made
 John c. Paine, general manager of ASCAP, telegraphed the Demo-, crat to announce that a free license to use ASCAP selections has been given the Waterbury Ministers as- Sociation. This will allow the asso- citation to use familiar hymns on its Morning Devotions program. heard daily over WATR, aud on any other programs 1t spoalsors.

Knew Welles When

Agnes Moorehead, who plays the
mother in Orson Welle's Citizen
Kane" first met Welles when he was
5 years old.
The recollection of their first
meeting came after she had been
long associated with the Mercury
Actors. In fact, it required Holly
wood to freshen her memory.
Miss Moorehead was at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel in New York one
evening when a jaunty lad of 5
sauntered in with his father. They
had just returned from the concert.
The boy bowled over one and all
with dramatic description of the
evenings music.
"Inasmuch as I wasn't much older
than Orson," relates Miss Moore
head, "all this high intellectually
from the mouth of a child just
f1oored me-"
Her film debut in Citizen Kane"
was for Miss Moorehead "an inter-
esting lark" as she puts it. The
studio workers were helpful she
says. Preparing for the cameras,
as a plain-looking mother, she ap-
piled mascara so that, in her words
"the camera would have something
to work on" Welles ordered it re-
moved. When she demonstrated
with I'll just look horrible!" he as
sured her that was precisely the
effect he had in mind.
