Syndicated Theme [for "Ten-Four"]: Documentary Theme No. 2, from the World Broadcasting System ("WBS") library

    [aka: "Highway Theme 2"]

    [This THEME was recycled via the WBS Library for the syndicated
     episodes of Highway Patrol, under the title "Ten-Four". 
     Originally it was the THEME for the ZIV-TV version of 
    "Mr. District Attorney", which see.
    
     The name of "Ray Llewellyn" was a pseudonym of David Rose, 
     Ray Bloch, and others who "ghost-wrote" for ZIV-TV series,
     and for its World Broadcasting System (WBS) music library.
     
     Since "Mr. District Attorney" had the alternate theme title
     of "Highway Theme 2" attributed to Peter Yorke in the BMI
     database, it is believed that Yorke was the "ghost writer" 
     of this particular THEME.]
