Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians, has written to broadcasting stations: “Will you kindly discontinue the broadcasting of any musical programmes emanating from foreign countries, effective from December 31.” The order does not apply to Canada. Mr Petrillo states that the order is designed to protect American musicians against foreign competition.
