WE’VE NO FIGHT with the local disc Jockeys, but some of therecords they’ve been spinning lately ain’t fit to listen to. This isaimed directly at our so-called Negro-programmed stations. If youguys aren’t more careful of that low-down type of record, you’regonna llnd yourselves in the middle of a “dirty wax campaign”. Weagree a lot of folk go for that stuff, but then what about the manymore who detest it. After all, you should give the young people abreak and not expose them to such listenings. You never hear thatsort of stuff on the big network stations. Now let’s clean up our pro-grams before the ire of the public forces you to do it You can’t beatgood public relations. Nus sed.
