A. P. to Air

Some 200 members of the Associated Press who own radio stations buy the U. P.'s service for broadcasting, because A. P. has allowed the broadcasting of its news only on non-commercial programs. These papers have tended to use more & more U. P. news in their columns, tossing A. P. copy into the wastebasket. Last week A. P. changed its policy to put a stop to that: hereafter member papers may broadcast A. P. news on sponsored programs upon payment of a 25% addition to their basic assessment. Restrictions: 1) A. P. must not be identified with the broadcasts; 2) news from other sources (such as U. P.) must not be included.
