Disc Jockeys Give
Hits First Push

Most Top Popular Tunes Get
Start in Eastern U.S. Cities

By JACK CULLEN

   Do you ever wonder how some melodies make the hit parade? How they get started--and why?
   Most popular music these days is brought to the public's attention by disc jockeys.
   Most of the big hits get their start in areas such as New York, Cleveland or Chicago -- very few are started by west coast DJs.
FIVE FIGURES
   Most of these key disc jockeys are in the five-figure bracket, men like Martin Block, Bill Silbert, Bill Randall, and, on the west coast, Peter Potter and Al Jarvis.
   In many cases record manufacturers will pay the disc jockey a little on the side to get a tune on the air, although this "payola" is frowned upon by most jockeys, radio stations managers and the record people, the habit still flourishes in the big centres.
   In the United States most disc jockeys receive free copies of most records as they are released.  In Canada the discs are shipped directly to the radio station to be catalogued into the station's own library.
   FREE SAMPLES
   Local radio stations receive free samples of all single records on 45 RPM but must subscribe to an album service which works out to a little less than a dollar per LP.
   The average Vancouver radio station receives more than 200 releases every month and will probably program about a quarter of them.

NAMES IN NEWS
Presley Weeps at
Death of Starlet


   Rock 'n roll singer Elvis Presley cried unashamedly today when told the girl who played opposite him in his latest film had been killed in a car accident.
   Cut in half in a two-car crash in Wyoming was actress Judy Tyler, 24, who took the lead in the just-filmed Jailhouse Rock.
   "I just don't believe I can stand to see that movie now, just don't believe I can," the former truck driver sobbed.
