Scope and Contents
Correspondence protesting proposed legislation (H.R. 5473) to amend section 1 of title 17 of the United States Code to make the public reproduction or rendition of a musical composition by or upon a coin-operated machine a public performance for profit when a fee is not charged for admission to the place where such reproduction or rendition occurs.
