Congress Recording Business
Now Is Run by Government

Robert J. Coar convinced Con-
eress it should put him out Of bust
ness and hire him.
Mr.. Coar and his wife, Mrs. Helen
Baogley Coar, were in the record
ing business. They specialized In
placing on records the comments of
members of Congress on legislative
issues. The Coars found many
members wanted such records Of
their radio addresses for souvenirs
or for later use in campaigns.
Further. Senators and Represent
atives often had the Coar firm
prepare recordings of their remarks
for use on home-State radio sta
tions, at political gatherings or at
meetings of civic, professional or
business clubs.
After providing this service on q
commercial basis for years, Mr..
Coar decided what Congress needed
