New PefriI|o Meetinq'
With Networks 10
Set '48 Radio Pattern
RY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 6-The pat
tern of radio and television broad
casts in 1948 may be profoundly
affected by developments in the
remaining days of this month
James c. Petrillo figures largely in
those developments.
Mr.. Petrillo and other officials of
the American Federation of Musi-
clans will meet again in Chicago
Monday with representatives of the
major radio networks to resume
talks on a contract to replace the
agreement that expires January 81.
The current contract applies only
to appearances of union musicians
on network programs However,
these other topics might we'll come
up at least for discussion:
Points at Issue.
l. The ATM presidents edict that
no further recordings or transcript
tions will be made after the present
contract with recording companies
expires December 81.
2. Mr.. Petrillos ban on perform
anceS by union members on tele-
vision programs, in effect since
February, 1945.
3. His ruling against the stimuli
taneous broadcast of music pro-
grams over both standard or AM
stations and frequency incubation
stations. That ruling has been in
effect since October, 1945.
Negotiations on a new network
contract were opened last month
in New York in an atmosphere that
both sides described as amicable.
Unlike previous sessions, at which
the AIM usually started out by
presenting its demands, Mr.. Petrillo
this time asked the networks to
offer their proposals first. He said
he would make his proposals at the
session opening in Chicago Monday
1t has not been disclosed what
the networks offered or what Mr..
Petrillo will demand.
May Be Recordings Only.
The bans on musicians appear
ances on television and on programs
broadcast simultaneously over AM
and FIN are not on the agenda.
However, the subjects are so closely
related that industry observers ex-
pect them to be brought up. In fact,
earlier this year heads of the four
major standard radio networks
made an unsuccessful appeal to Mr..
Petrillo to permit the duplication
of AM musical programs over FIN.
The recording ban would be likely
topic in view of the widespread use
of recorded music by radio and the
fact that two networks have record
ing affliates.
Should there be no agreement at
the Chicago conference or subse-
quent conferences, the picture for
1948 would be something like this:
Only recorded music by network
programs-and old recordings at
that.
About the same situation on FM,
with only recorded music except
where an individual station hired a
band.
A continuation of recorded music
only on television.
