James Caesar Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, warns that union members may stop recording after December 31 to oppose the Taft Hartley Act. Observers say the strike could be softened by a contract renewal, industry options, and public demand for music, suggesting Petrillo may back down as the industry leverages nonunion orchestras and foreign discs.
