increasing the number of musicians that are
employed."
The pamphlet states that the public, too,
would suffer, if the small broadcasting sta-
tions were forced to hire even a few musi-
cians. "Imagine playing the 'Unfinished
Symphony' or the latest popular tune with
two or three or even six local musicians of
uncertain attainment," the pamphlet says.
The public, it continues, would reject any
but the finest music-the music to which
it has become accustomed through record-
nigs and the radio.
Asserting that Petrillo has "joined the
company of misguided men who, each in
his time, have sought to prevent the prog-
ress implicit in invention," the pamphlet
lists these effects of the Petrillo ban:
1. If you own a phonograph, its useful-
ness is frozen, because new recordings by
your favorite artists, whether you are a
lover of symphonic music or a dance band
devotee, can no longer be made.
2. If Irving Berlin tomorrow gets the in-
spiration for a great new patrioti'c tune, it
cannot be popularized and made known, or
become available to you, by means of rec-
ords.
3. The small broadcasting station which
is dependent chiefly on recorded music will
ultimately be forced out of business, and
its value lost to the community.
