Government and musicians clash over recording ban
The government and the American Federation of Musicians clash as the union bans new musical recordings after July 34. The FCC argues many small radio stations rely on records due to lack of local talent or funds. Interlochen high school musicians are barred from broadcasting. The piece argues records expanded music jobs, not reduced them, and urges continued cultural spread despite union limits.
