Clark Urges Congress
To Broaden Scope
OF Petri|Io Inquiry
Says Union Bon Against
Recorded Music Is
Dangerous to Morale

Expressing tremendous concern"
over what he termed the danger
to wartime communications and
wartime morale of a labor union
ban against recorded music, Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Idaho, proposed
today the broadening of a congress
sional inquiry into activities of the
American Federation of Musicians
(AFL).
Senator Clark told reporters the
federation's prohibition against
records and transcriptions for radio
stations and juke boxes, which be-
came effective August /, had stopped
production of virtually all recorded
music and Congress must find
means of lifting this order"
James C. Petrillo, president of
the federation, described the ban
as simply a strike against the
record companies" In an interview
at New York last night he said
the companies had not bothered
to approach the federation and sit
down With us TO work OUT COmplO-
mise solution which would help both
sides.
Only One Quarrel.
Contrary to the general impress
sion, he said, this union has no
quarrel with the radio stations and
companies or any one else except
the record companies.
The musicians don't want to
put anybody out of business. We
want to live and let live But no
body seems to care about the poor
musician who is being put out of
business"
He previously had explained that
the order was issued to protect
union musicians thrown out OF
work by the use of canned music"
in dance halls and elsewhere
Senator Clark said he would ask
Chairman Wheeler of the Senate
Commerce Committee to call meet
ing tomorrow at which Senator
Clark planned to urge full in
vestigation" of what he described as
4 dangerous situation"
