Closing Of the plants will hit
the citrus industry hard because
it depends on tin cans to market
its products. The strike also will
affect the steel industry since the

mostly of steel with a very thin
tin plating.
Separate Meetings Held.
Representatives of both COM

Newscasting Jams
Schedules for Radio
And TV in New York
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. Radio
and television stations in this
virtually newspaperless city
have taken over as much Of the
job Of informing the public as
air time will allow.
They also are profiting from
the desperate need Of many ad-
vertiSers, particularly the city's
huge department stores, to get
their Christmas shopping news
before the public.
Meanwhile some broadcasters
are offering the seven major
dailies-suspended by a photo
engravers' strike AN oppor-
tunity to put the news on the
air in their own way.
So far the newspapers have
not made much use Of these
offers. One radio official said he
understood it was because the
publishers are hoping momen-
tarily to start getting their news
out again the usual way in
print.
The broadcaSters themselves
are doing everything but shove
OF soap operas to cram their
schedules as full of news as pos
sible.
Rich News Fare.
They are giving New Yorkers
q rich fare with big chunks of
news for breakfast, still more at
bedtime, and innumerable short
newscasts in between throughout
the day.
Pedestrians in Times Square
and other busy spots hear news
blaring from portable radios
carried by "sandwiehE men" and
tuned in to the station CWNBC)
which hired them.
The bulk Of additional news
casting appeared on radio, but
television stations also increased
their news schedules.
A spokesman for WCBS-TV
said the station had just about
doubled its news coverage, add
ing an extra hour of solid news
in the morning and an extra
f1ve-minute show in the early
afternoon.

expanded others and set aside
five minutes at 10:30 pm. (EST)
seven nights a week-if the
strike should last that long-for
local news only. The station was
Offering to sell advertising to any
newspaper - for anything but
discussion of controversial strike
issues.
WNBC and WNBT, the NBC
networks radio and TV stations
In New York, added a total of AZ
news shows to their daily sched-
uleS, almost doubling the usual
number of such broadcasts.
WABC Radio said it was add
Ing five or six newscasts a day,
the number and times varying
with daily programming.
'NBC offered the struck news
papers both radio and TV time
tree for putting their columnists
and comic strips on the air. The
stations said if the newspapers
took up the offer-which they
hadn't as of tonight-the various
papers features would appear in
rotation.
Generally, advertising revenue
was soaring.
