One Of radios serious critics
noted recently that number of
broadcasters had. given I'D COM
pletely on summer programmine
and had contenteA themselves with
playing phonograph records. In
view Of some of the other low-leyel
summer programming, this can
hardly be considered a disaster by
radio listeners. There are a num-
ber OF things phonograph record
Is better than. This. is disaster
though, in the eyes of James Caesar
Petrillo. When Mr.. Petrillo head of
the musicians union, hears a rec
ora on the air, he hears a studio
orchestra out of work at the moment,
The problem of records and the
radio is a complicated one. In the
first place, musicians hate to be re-
placed by turntables. On the other
hand, using "hye" orchestras for
all local broadcasts would do much
more than increase operating costs.
Not playing records on the air
would give recording artists sudden

WASHINGTON, March 8 -R-
Senators Vandenberg of Michigan
and Taft of Ohio we're said by
friends today to be taking definite
steps to offset the impression they
are splitting apart in the leader

Associates said Vandenberg took
steps to have Taft included in
President Truman's invitation to
Congressional leaders for a con-
ference Monday on the Interna.
tional situation. Taft was not in
vited to the initial meeting last
week.
Taft on his part has invited Van.
denberg to sit in with the policy
committee when it discusses do
nestle as well as foreign prob
lens. He was present at one to-
day. When Vandenberg became
presiding officer of the Senate, he
relinquished his post as chairman
of the party conference and ex-
officio members of the policy com.
