Bill Seeks to Limit
N Music Control

A bill to force radio and tele-
vision networks and stations
out of the music publishing and
recording business was intro
duced last night by Senator
Smathers, Democrat of Florida.
Senator Smathers said the
radio-televiSion industry has
such tight control over the pro-
duction of music that "the pub
lie today, to a great extent. is
a captive audience" He said
the public lis being force-fed
a brand of music not always to
its liking"
The bill, an amendment to
the Federal Communications
Act, would require broadcasters
specifically to relinquish their
interests in Broadcast Music,
Inc, and in major recording
companies.
Senator Smathers said the
networks and 600 affiliated sta
tons in 1910 formed BMI to
avoid payment of royalties to
ASCAP. the American Society
of Composers, Authors and
Publishers.
He charged that this opera
ton resulted in unfair compe-
tition with ASCAP and said ut
is not in the public interest to
have the networks and radio
and television stations engaged
in the music publishing and
recording business"
The bill was referred to the
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee.

Royburn Stirs Hopes
For Rights Agreement

Of many other laws. But the
House Republicans have been
holding out for some expan-
sion of the Celler plan.
They suggested yesterday
that their formula. making
jury trials dependent on the
judges view of the serious
ness of the case, be tackled on
to the Celler motion. Demo-
cratic leaders were said to be
cool to the idea of letting the
court pre-judge the penalty.
District Laws Cited
Representative Heating of
New York, in charge of the
bill for the Republicans. said
the new compromise parallels
the provisions of the District OF
Columbia code and represents
therefore, congressional pol
icy in conformity with what
Congress has repeatedly said
before"
Mr.. Heating made public 9

which Congress fixed the penal.
ties below a ceiling of $500 OF
90 days. thereby eliminating
trial by jury.
1t may be necessary for House
Democrats to make this, oil
some other concession to the
Republicans, to get the bill
through at this session.
The reason is that the Dem
ocratic leadership cannot gel
the bill out of the Rules Com
mittee without some Republican
votes. The committee is made
up of eight Democrats and four
Republicans, but four of the
Democrats are Southerners.
The four Northern Democrats
have taken steps which would
enable a majority-seven men,
bers-to meet any time from
today on. But all indications
are the Republicans will not
join in arranging a meeting I'M
til they get some change in the
Celler plan.
Senator O'Mahoney. Demo-
crat of Wyoming. one of the
authors of the Senate jury-trial
amendment, said he feels the
Republican compromise would
weaken rather than strengthen
enforcement of voting rights.
But Senator Humphrey,
Democrat of Minnesota, who
! favors broader civil rights legis-
lation. said he is for limiting
the jury trial Ito a very strict
construction. so Federal judges
will have every opportunity to
obtain compliance with their
orders" He said the Republi-
can suggestion might represent
a constructive step"

He did not say how much.
The Democratic leader pre-
dicted also that the Senate
would vote for more new money
than the House did. But he
emphasized that the specific
amount would depend on facts
determined by the committee
and not on "cries Of wolf, "
generalized statements by ad-
miniStrative officials or threats
from any quarter in or out Of
Congress.
Total Restoration Asked
President Eisenhower de-
clare6 at his news conference
earlier yesterday that he hoped
the Senate would restore every
cent Of the 5000 million cut
by the House. This would bring
the total Of new and reap
propriated money to $685.
100000, the ceiling authorized
earlier this month by Congress
in a separate bill. The Presi-
dent said he also hoped a
Senate House conference would
agree on much more than SIS
billion.
Four Southern Democratic
of the committee,
Senators Russell of Georgia,
of Louisiana, Stennis
of Mississippi and Robertson of
Virginia want to keep the House
total. Senator Ellender, in fact,
favors cutting it still more, but
conceded that it probably would
be boosted. especially in view
of the influence Of Senator
johnson. Several of them pre-
dicted that the committee in no
event would recommend more
than So billion.

thought of reviving the original
broad power to use Federal in
