...News will carry features of North American Newspaper Alliance, United Feature, Bell Syndicate; but for general news it will rely solely on Transradio Press Service.

S. city used it exclusively...
...Transradio President Herbert Samuel Moore, 33, had reason to be pleased. Four years ago, former U. P. Correspondent Moore found himself jobless when Columbia Broadcasting System abandoned its news service to join National Broadcasting Co. in the Press-Radio Agreement which limited news broadcasts to twice-daily, five-minute summaries supplied by Associated Press, United Press and Inter national News Service.

In Pittsburgh Transradio found such a station in WJAS, which is locally owned but hooked into the Columbia network. WJAS found a potent sponsor in Kaufmann's department store, biggest, most progressive retail business in Pittsburgh. On New Year's Day, WJAS inaugurated two daily 15-min. news broadcasts, supplied by Transradio and paid for, $1,000 a week, by Kaufmann...
