According to Alan H. Rosenson, general manager of WLRD, the Federal Communications Commission has ruled that the "beep" supersonic signal which goes along with the commercial is not for the general public but that the complete musical programs are for public reception. In a letter to about 100 business places which are now eliminating the co'mmercials, Rosenson pointed out that anyone utilizing WLRD's functional music signal, unless by arrangement with the only authorized licensee of the station's signal, appears to be violating Section 603 of the Communication Act of 1934, as amended, and may become subject to the penalties provided for in the act, namely, a $10,000 fine andor two years in prison. is printed by the MacMillam Co.
