PetriNo Denies Union
And Networks Plot 10
Refdrd FM Growth
Ready to Make Deal
After ToIk With Regular
Group, He Tells Hearing
BY the Associoted Press

James c. Petrillo denied today
there is any conspiracy between
his American Federation of Mu-
sicians and the long established
radio networks to hold back the
growth of the fedgling FM (fre-
quency modulation) radio.
Mr.. Petrillo told the House Labor
Committee that he met with repre-
sentatives of the FIN industry a
month ago and tentatively agreed
to make a deaP' with them, but
said he told them:
"I have got to talk to the regular
(AM) networks first"
At present Mr.. Petrillo has
baned live music on FM networks
and also the duplication of musical
programs on AM and FIN networks.
Emphatic in Denial.
AS Representative Owens, Repub-
lican, of Illinois questioned him
about his relations with the old-line
radio networks, in connection with
FIN, Mr.. Petrillo screwed his chubby
face into grimace and broke in:
please, Mr.. Congressman, If
there's anything in your mind
about a conspiracy between the
American Federation of Musicians
and the AM networks, please dis
miss it. It's not So"
He explained that he wanted to
consult the old-line networks first
because they pay his union men,
bers $23,0o0,000 a year land it
wouldn't be good business" not to
consult them.
Mr.. Owens then demanded II it
were not true that Mr.. Petrillo had
broken up other unions which COM
peted with the ATM in the past,
whereupon Mr.. Petrillo cracked
please don't refresh MY memory
too much"
The union chief was called before
the committee to answer charges
that he holds a monopoly on Amer
lean commercial music
Admits Union Is Monopoly.
He frankly told the group that the
union is monopoly but argued that
it is a legal one.
"a monopoly so far as a labor
union is concerned is justifiable be-
cause only in that way can a union
become strong and raise the wages
of its members" he said
Mr.. Petrillo, shielding his eyes
with both arms appraised against the
harsh glare of newsreel flood lights,
complained at one point about the
number of his questioners on the
committee, and demanded:
How many more are there?"
Mr.. Petrillo said he would be will
ing to make a deal"-his favorite
expression-with small radio sta
tions so that they could play rec
ords "if t1ey would come to us and
tell us they could afford to hire
maybe only two or three musicians
and if they were telling the
truth"
Standbys Taken Care of,
"Oh you mean you'd make the
stations hire standbys," Representa-
tive Kersten, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin demanded
mo, no, no more standbys," Mr..
Petrillo said. That's been taken
care Of"
Then, raising his voice, Mr.. Petrillo
asked:
Don't anybody worry about the
poor musician? We're looking for

moved today toward swift House
passage and a virtually certain
veto.

ever, unless the Senate trims the
size of the tax cut when the legisla-
tion reaches that body.
Speaker Martin set the House
vote for next week, probably Friday,
The House Republican Steering
Committee, in approving the meas
ure late yesterday, refused fatty to
make any concessions that might
attract Democratic support. A two
thirds majority is needed in both

become law, and think the Repub-
licans know it.

that Mr.. Rayburn is "indulging in
wishful thinking" and added: THE

dent Truman's substitute proposal
calling for a $40 "cost of living" tax
cut for every one and a compensat-
ing $3,200,O0O, 900 excess profits levy

The Ways and Means Committee

outnumbering Democrats, Is to 10,

was virtually certain.

by $1,500,0 100000 to do that" Mr.
