radio for the first time or on a heavier scale than before (for a partial le of "new" advertisers, see page 22). To advance this trend, radio's spera values during hard times were promoted widely in a "Radio: Adflation Figter on-air campaign, led by RAB, which at its peak earlier this year was in estimated 2,000 radio stations-and which now, as the recession shows sca of fading, is being recast to emphasize the continued importance of the ar flation fighter" in reaching consumers as the economy turns around.

"In any case," said ABC Radio's Mr. Neal, "there's a lot of momentum pit now. I just hope it continues in 1976-and I think it will; we're preciclag it will."

Almost everyone is.

WHAT'S PAST

Regardless of the shape in which radio finishes 1975, 1974 was a pretty good rear for radio stations. According to the National Association of Broadcasters in figures released last week, the "typical" radio station (both AM's and FMO reported a 7.6% increase in revenues for 1974 over 1973. For the "trial" FM station, the revenue increase was nearly three times that figure-2225 Bat

the same FM operation was operating at a net loss of $2,200 in 1974. That was a $1100 improvement over 1973's performance, and NAB says the upward trend could mean that in 1975, the typical FM could break even for the first time. Profits for the typical radio station were up 4.1% over 1973, although the NAB noted that the typical stations profit margin was 5 45%, continuing a decline for that category begun in 1969, The AM FM figures were derived from 1754 respotises to an annual questionnaire, the FM-oniy data came from 320 stations. The complete figures:

DUAR CONGRESSMAN RODINo.- The Magazine Pu'lishers Assolation, Ine (MPA) Wishes to avail itself of the opportunity to sit n it a written statement presenting VIOWA ALİ Katarstantae w chreve; to the glove Copyright Law Revision # HR 223 wi, him his under es exideration by the Subcommittee on p's Cavalliertes and !!e Ad MP'A is a national trade asses ation fornded in 1919 It is composed of more than 12% in liv of sal e mja ow which perih fish more than 450 period: als appearing ll. varying degrees of fre, e " st has on a mont! 1y bị month's werkiy, or 1 mevas banın İt virtaa'ay all int inces these period als are statut (ri'y copt» Dates and are distr * Ved lation a y throng' out the in ted States.

De MPA through the instrumentality of its Legal Affairs Committee has alified and is prepared to content on certain of the provisions of the Revision *ins far as they eller relate foot affect periodicals / Other intwortant parts of Pe Revisi in hot relating in færi all vs such as the provisjonis reʻal ug for tastymien 1 muran mutation factures sur↑ reci niin ga calle te evixion etc will not be covered In this statement

Mer 100% sets forth the fire fundamental rights that the Revision gives to the esporight owners the exclusive rights of (1) reproduction, (2) adaptation, (3)

publication, (4) performance, and (5) display, which together curvinge he so-called "bundle of Rights". The next eleven Sections provide various tions, qualifications, and exemptions of these rights.

Sec. 107 gives the judicial doctrine of "fair use" statutory recognise ken first time. Rather than attempting a definition of "fair use", this Nec, 01. specific mention of four factors-(1) the purpose and character of the l the nature of the copyrighted work, (3) the amount and substati portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted wor included in the factors to be considered in judicial determinations,

Sec. 108 deals with the question of reproduction by libraries and art tr authorizes the making of one copy "of no more than one article or offers tion to a copyrighted collection or periodical issue, ar... of a sti... any other copyrighted work". There are restrictions against the multiple copies and a specific restriction in Sec. 10% (g) (2) against Se tematic reproduction or distribution of single or multiple copies” o. 07 7. material by any library or archives or its employee.

Sections 107 and 108 must be read in the light of the decision in the Woma Wilkins case in which the Supreme Court of the United States in the fourt! decision affirmed the decision of the Court below that the unauthorized th copying of copyrighted medical journals by two government horaries ! constitute copyright infringement on the ground that such copying evak "fair use". The language of Sec. 105, standing alone, would seem to pr bat ES ing of the nature and scope indulged in by the government in W., & M kins. However, Sec. 108 (f) (3) provides that nothing contained in tha! See? "in any way affects the right of fair use as provided by Sec. 107". It would pun therefore, that, notwithstanding the language of Sec. 108, an attempt made to justify multiple copying of the nature and scope present in the W... 179 & Wilkins case or of even greater magnitude under the application of thes sions of Sec. 107 with respect to "fair use". Such a result would distort Nevad tory scheme and nullify, by indirection, the carefully drawn provisotas of no 108.

The MPA-along with book publishers and others prominent in the oven it cation industry-is opposed to the significant erosion of Constitutional at gressional intent represented by the unrestricted copying permitted a Williams & Wilkins case and wishes to foreclose any possibility that such ing could be justified under the provisions of See. 107, without reference to her 108. Accordingly, the MPA recommends that Sec. 107 be amended by thereto a sentence stating in words or in substance that the making f than one copy of all or substantially all of a copyrighted work or of a1⁄4y a** or other contribution to a copyrighted collection or periodical issue almu „I DE event be considered a "fair use" thereof.

Sec. 702 of the Revision provides that the Register of Copyright is quit and to establish regulations not inconsistent with law for the adro wtry functions and duties made his responsibility under this title, and further per that all such regulations established by the Register are subject to the of the Librarian of Congress. Other Sections of the Reviston e firm the a of the Bill to enlarge not only the administrative responsibility but a solar se legislative authority of the Copyright Office in the entire area of statut ry right protection.

The present Register of Copyrights has adopted the laudible practice lishing proposed changes in regulations in the Federal Register and re comments and suggestions from all parties concerned. The Re, ster bas a** on one occasion heid public hearings on proposed changes in regali ne Ț MPA feels that the Register of Copyrights is to be commeraded on a fording (af) ested parties the right to be heard on proposed changes in the rezu, t, as al would like to insure that such practice is continued in the future. Ietvak ever, no statutory provision requiring that the Register publish for ev; lat hold public hearings on any e' anges in or additions to regulations ar rare no assurance that future Registers of Copyright would follow the prew HỰA KIỆ by the present Register in this regard. The MPA belleves that this nang ral protection is necessary and desirable addition to, and should not be called frie this Legislation.

Accordingly the MPA recommends that, to the extent not covered ha et virk statutes, the adoption or amending of matters of sulsstance in the rules ad reg
