Recording Ban Nears End With New Five Year Pact
New York December 14 The American Federation of Musicians will end its 14 month recording ban Tuesday after a five year contract with phonograph record companies. A government approved welfare fund financed by royalties will be run by Samuel R. Rosenbaum and used to hire jobless musicians for free public concerts and other union welfare efforts. Major labels RCA Victor Columbia Capitol plan immediate recording, while Decca held back. Christmas shelves may miss some releases. Sales remain about 35 percent below last year due to broader economic spending.
