Tells Why His House Has Discontinued Pro-
fessional Offices as Matter of Policy
F. J. A. Forster, head of Forstcr, Music Pub-
lisher, Inc., Chicago, has forwarded an announce-
ment to the trade denying rumors that have been
circulated to the effect that he plans to d.scon-
timie professional work.
"Malicious rumors have been spread broad-
cast that I intend to discontinue professional
work," said Mr. Forster in a statement on the
subject. "Nothing could be further from the
truth. I closed my professional office because
I have no faith in the prevailing indiscriminate
methods of "professional plugging,' as it is called,
which I believe are injurious to the music busi-
ness and do not serve the best interests of the

to foist songs upon performers to whom they are

the practice of songwriters in developing sweet
melodies of the sunny South while resting in a
ballroom a stone's throw from Broadway. Prob-
ably the fact that distance lends enchantment to
the view may have something to do with this
practice of writing songs at a distance from the
