USIA TO PUSH
AMERICAN MUSIC
OVERSEAS

WASHINGTON —An in-
creased demand for American
music both classical and pop-
ular, overseas, is expected to
result from a stepped-up pro-
gram by United States Infor-
mation Agency to acquaint
more people abroad with
.American m'isic. Heading the
ne« effort will be Angelo
Eagon, who fills a new office
as agency music advisor.

Eagon, a pianist and for-
mer cultural officer in Austria,
will push for more perform-
ance of American music thru-
out the world, anu will also
serve as chief of the agency's
music "iranch, which sends
American recort'ings and
scores overseas.

The agency plans to liven
up its musical activities by
providing foreign .t^ders with
a sizable flow of background
material on Ai lerican compos-
ers and niiisit, both classical
and popular. As a special proj-
ect, the music branch will
demonstrate ;he -vide range of
American culture in music by
shipping aoioad recordings of
Hawaiian music and Alaskan
folk songs, to acquaint over-
seas music lovers with the mu-
sic of the nesv States.

l-ast ' ea-. 25.050 recordings
of symphony, jazz and other
music were sent to USIA's 200
posts in 80 countries, the
agency reports. There was
overseas distribution of 10,850
American musical scores re-
quested by foreign orchestra
conductors and musicians.

Ampex Foresees No
Battle of Speeds
For Tape Industry

London Label Pact Keys Flexible
Approach to Future Developments

By LEE ZHI10

HOLLYWOOD — A "battle of
speeds" never will plague the tape
industry. This is the tirm convic-
tion of Ampex as stressed last week
both in its work and deed.
' Herbert L. Brown. Ampex Cor-
I poration veepee and head of United
Stereo Tapes, its four-track tape
I manufacturing - distributing sub-
' sidiary, told The Billboard that
Ampex will continue to adhere to
I its traditional policy of protecting
, dealer inventory against obsolcs-
! cence. Brown explained that Am-
pex in its equipment line alwavs
has guarded against obsoleting ear-
lier models with the introduction
of new inslnimenls. Similarly, he
said. UST will protect dealers
stocking its four-track open reel
stereo tapes against any possible
new developments which mas come
some time in the distant future.

5-Yr. London Pact

Fact thai UST expects to be ac-
tive in all forms of magnetic tape,
no mutter what pattern it mas
someday follow, was revealed
terms of a contract it cone
last week when it acquired the ex
elusive magnetic tape rights to the
entire London Records catalog.
Deal is UST's biggest to date.

Pact is for five years, which under-
scores Anipex's certainty tl\ ii t,ip»
is here to stay as a major factor
in home entertainment.

Most revealing provision of the
contract is that which giies L'^T
the e.xclusise right to maniil.iciiire
j and distribute London's wares "in
any and all forms of magnetic tape
available now or in the fiiiure."

Possibility of Deejay-Payola
Probe Is No. 1 Station Topic . . .

Topic No, 1 at radio stations across the coun-
try last week was the possibility of an inves-
tigation of payola bv a House subcommittee
and the FCC. Deejays at WNEW, New York,
participated in an hour-long panel discussion
of the subject Sunday (15). Out in Chicago,
veteran jock Howard Miller said he could name
names involved in payola transactions; while
another Chicago jock. Phil Lind, was under
police protection last week after he claimed
he received threats as a result of an on-the-air
discussion of payola Page 2

DKPSKTSIfM *.\D FI!\TIK(S

Ampex is not doggedly determined
to stick to only one tape .system,
come what may. but will remain
flexible in its policv to change
should future developments and
market conditions warrant such
changes, the basis of a "b.itlle of
speeds" is nonexistent.

Sees Smooth Transition
According to Brown, tape will
follow a battle-free road of smotith
transition, from one system to the
other, it and when new sjstems be-
come practical. Brown pointed out
that as a major manufacturer of
^ ^ tape recording and playback cquip-
ciuded i ^"'^ * prime supplier of
*■ pre-recorded tape via USl", Am-

pex enjoys a far-seeing vantage
point of the tape horizon. If any
changes should appear in view,
it can help dealers make the tran-
sition without endangering their in-
vestment in inventory. This fact,
he said, permits Ampex to protect
dealers against obsolescence.

From its vantage point. Ampex
sees no changes in the immediate
future If and when the tape in-
dustry will experience innovations,
these, according to Brown, are suf-
ficiently in the distant future not
to disturb UST's immediate plans.

This is evidenced by the fact
that L!ST will issue its newly ac-

Risk-Free

I ^

Tape Stocks

HOl.L^ WOOD— Dealers are in
a risk-free position when it comes
to stocking stereo tapes, according
to Russ Molloy, prexy of Bel Canto
Stercophonio Recordings, since the
firm maintains a 100 per cent ex-
change privilege on its complete
line.

Furthermore Bel Canto, a sub-
sidiary of Thompson-Ramo-Wool-
ridge. Inc., makes its catalog avail-
able in all the existing tape forms —
two-track, four-track and the tape
cartridge. Should any other lorms
or speeds become practical, Molloy
said his company will add them as
well. Thus, he said, the public can
choose what it wants without risk-
ing a speed svar.

House-FCC Payola Probe
Threat Stirs Aircasters

Jocks Garrulous to Mum; DJA
Offers Fullest Co-Operation

By JUNE BUNDY

NEW YORK — The possibility
of a probe of deejay payola re-
ports by a House subcommittee
and the FCC was the No. 1 topic
of conversation — both on and
off the air — at stations across
the country last week.

Some deejays were positively
garrulous on the subject; (see story
on Howard Miller and Phil Lind
elsewhere in issue) while others
refused to take calls from the press.
At least two New York dailies —
Journal American and the Post —
were readying payola series.

Managements Anxious

Anxious station managers con-
ducted private "have you ever?"

interrogation sessions with their
jockey staffs, and promotion men
complained that some stations
were suddenly making it difficult
for them to drop in and see dee-
jays on the old free-and-easy basis,
via chilly reception - blocks, etc.
At the same time, frantic on-the-
take deejays reportedly were call-
ing listribulors and/or labels ask-

BMI Awards
To 26 Pubs,
51 Cleffers

NASHVILLE — BMT Awards
of Achievement were presented to
51 writers and 26 publithers from
17 States and the District of Co-
himbia. The awards, made at the
Eighth Annual Disk Jockey Con-
vention here last week, took cog-
nizance of the success of 46 songs
ir the country and western field
during the past 12 months.

Bob Burton, BMI vice-president
who made the awards, stated:
"During its 20 years of service to
music in America, BMI has been
proud of its role in widening the
field Oi opportunity for the creat-
ors of music by establishing com-
petition in the field of music li-
censing. One result of that com-
petition has been that more writers
and publishers from more parts of
the country can share in the eco-
nomic rewards of their music . .

Lieberman
Folds Wis.
One-Stop

MILWAUKEE — After six
weeks of attempting to gain a foot-
hold, Lieberman's Wisconsin one-
stop folded here today. Diskery
was owned by Lieberman Music
which operates one-stops in Minn-
eapolis, Des Moines and Omaha.
Local manager, Barney Kuehn, was
taken off the payroll as of Novem-
ber 16, according to David Lieber-

ing them to "hold off " on pay-
ments.

Station owne « were startled by
FCC commissioner Robert E. Lee"s
statement that if payola exists on
their stations they could lose their
licenses to operate even if they are
unaware of their employees' Ulegal
activities.

Ir. line with this, Malcolm Wel-
don, news and special events direc-
tor at WNEW, New York, said
"If payola exists, i'. is a form of
commercial bribery punishable by
a fine of $500, or a year in jail
or more." The statement was made
on a panel discussion of payola by
WNEW jocks over the weekend.
(Sec separate story.)

Some confusion exists as to the
definition of payola. There are
jocks who believe it is a form of
payola if a deejay owns a publish-
ing company, or manages artists;
while other spinners condone these
practices and define payola as the
actual acceptance of cash in return
for air plugs.

For example, Jerry Marshall,

deejay, Howard Miller, said he was
able, altho reluctant, to name
names nvolved in payola transac-
tions. In one case, he said, he has
■n affidavit from the paying party
and personally inspected the can-
celed checks in the case.

According to Lind, a voice In
one threatening cali told him, "If
you keep blowing the whistle,
you're going to wake up in an

phone. "Phil won't listen to us, so
you better tell him as a friend to
lay off." Lind reported that he has
received an offer of $1,000 for the
tape of his on-the-air discussion,
presumably as a means of getting it
out of reach.

WASHINGTON — Rep. James
Roosevelt has issued a scathing re-
buke of the recent letter sent to
ASCAP membership in which its
president, Stanley Adams, insist-
ently points out that a vote
against the proposed consent de-
cree negotiated by Justice Depart-
ment and the Society's attorneys,
might mean a government suit,
with possible "dissolution" of the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers (The Bill-
board, November 9, 1959).

"Any threat of a law suit appears
to be an attempt to intimidate," is
the grim comment of Roosevelt.

whose House Small Business Sub-
committee held exhaustive hearings
on the ASCAP small business com-
plaints, in 1958, leading to the re-
negotiation of the ASCAP consent
decree.

Complete Statement

Roosevelt's complete statement
follows:

"It has come to my attention
; that a letter bearing the signature
!of ASCAP's president has been
j mailed to members of the Society
j urging Ihem to vole to accept with-
jout change the proposed consent
'decree filed with the court a few
! months ago. 1 am told that this
letter, in no uncertain terms, tells
the me nbcrs that if they vote

against the acceptance of this de-
cree, a law suit by the government
against the Society would follow
which may result in the dissolution
of the Society.

"It is well known that many of
the members desire to amend,
strengtnen or therwise improve
the provisions of the decree pres-
ently under consideration and it

Album Jump Builds Higher Total Take

NEW YORK — Record sales in,board-NYU Survey is supplied to
stereo were up 10 per cent in dollar j subscribers every four weeks and
volume during ; contains data about record sales

This offer puzzled tradesters
here since the tape contains the
mention of no names. It is an
interview with the owner of a rec-
ord label detailing his alleged
troubles in getting disk exposure in
Chicago without payoffs, and citing
specific demands of payola. The
tape was played on Lind's WAIT
show early last summer without
creating noticeable comment in the
trade, but suddenly touched off the
claimed threats last week when the
subject of payola became con-
spicuous. Lind now will not identi-
fy the label ow ner who was inter-
viewed, but said his company was a
small one from the West Coast. The
company has never had a hit.

According to Lind, the label
owner said one deejay asked for a
$200 a week retainer, another de-
manded $100 a week, and a third
asked for 2 per cent of the
company. The interviewee said he
figured out that if he met all the
demands, it would cost him
$22,000 to get a record going in
Chicago.

Another deejay who heard the
interview said that the label was so
obscure, he does not remember its
name or its owner. The record be-
ing plugged, said the deejay, was
"so bad I wouldn't have played it
even if I were being paid."
In Spotlight

Lind's report of threats resulted
in a publicity spotlight being trained
on him late last week. Local news-
papers covered hini liberally and he
was interviewed by Life. Time and
Newsweek. A press agent. Beltye
Burton, former wife of ex-deejay
Linn Burton, was in Lind's employ
disp^^nsing details to the papers and
magazines.

The episode all but obscured an
earlier disclosure by Howard Miller
that he could name names if he
wanted to but doesn't want to.

"I have no desire to name indi-
viduals," he told The Billboard.
"In most cases I couldn'i prove
what I know. I said in mosi cases.

The neeting opened with an im-
passioned plea by Adams for ap-
proval of the consent order, he re-
iterated the board's contention that
the very life of AS<" AP may depend
upon the membership's support of
the Consent Order. He stressed
once again that the board was not
happy with the fact that it must
yield to the government pressure
at this time, recognizing that all
factions within the Society will
have to surrender personal wishes
to comply wi'h the order. Adams
defended the board's action in ac-

RUSHING THE SEASON

30 New Singles Already in
Yuletide Wax Sweepstakes

NEW YORK— Allho radio sta-
tions across the country tradition-
ally wait until after Thanksgiving
<o spin Christmas records, the Brill
Building is rushing the season even
more than usual this year. More
than 30 new Christmas singles
have been released, plus a Tlock of
the usual re-issues of long-time sca-
lonal best sellers.

Last year the big Christmas sin-
rie was "The Chipmunk Song."
This year another novelty — also
featuring electronic-voiced charac-
ters — has stepped out first sales-
wise. It's Capitol's "The Happy
Reindeer" by Dancer, Prancer and
Nervous. Capitol reports that the
disk is currently the label's lop-
aelling single, with orders totaling
300,000 since iu relca.se the last
week in October.

The chipmunk-type voice gim-
mick is also spotlighted on Laurie's
new disk, "Santa Claus Jr." by
Johnny Brandon and on "Deck the
Cage With Boughs of Holly" by
Tweety and Sweety on the Storz
label.

Allho it's not a Christmas record,
the current hot seller "Uh-Oh" by
the Nutty Squirrels (which also
features a chipmunk-styled vocal)
is looked upon by many jocks as
boliday-type novelty programming.
Meanwhile Liberty has re-released
David Seville's Chipmunk platter.

The most covered Christmas pop
tune to date is "The Little Drum-
nier Boy," which was a big hit last
December by the Harry Simeone
Chorale (re-released this year by
20th Century-Fox). New versions of
the song include Johnny Cash's Co-
lumbia wa.\ing, the Henry Snow
Singers' Whitehall recording
(backed by "Holly Green"), and
iEric Jay on Bullseye (backed by
"Silent Night").

In addition to the Cash disk,
Columbia has four additional new
yule singles out — Johnny Horton's
niiey Shined Up Rudolph's Nose,"
"Christmas Bride" by the Ray Con-
nif Singers, Bing Crosby's "The
Secret of Christmas" (backed by

' Just What I Wanted for Christ-
mas') and Charlie Weaver's novelty
"Xmas in Mt. Idy" backed by
"Happy New Year, Happy New
Year."

New Warner Bros.' holiday sin-
gles are "Yulcsville" and "Lonely
Christmas" by Edd (Kookie)
Byrnes, "Adestc Fidelis" by another
"77 Sunset Strip" star, Efrcm Zim-
balist Jr. (Back by the Guitars,
Inc.'s "Deck the Halls With Boughs
of Holly"), and a two-sider by the
Marquees — "Santa Done Got Hip"
and "Christmas in the Congo."

Roger Williams has two Christ-
mas singles out on Kapp — "Hark
the Herald Angels Sing" and
"Adestes Fidelis" and "Mary's Lit-

tle Boy Child" backed by "Winter
Wonderland."

Capitol has Nat King Cole's
"Buon Nalale" backed by "The
Happiest Christmas Tree" and the
King S i s t e r s' "Chree-See-Mus,"
plus, of course, the reindeer hit.
Another version of "Buon Nalale"
is out on Epic by the Four Coins.

Rounding out the new yule wax
scene are Art Mooney's "A Merry
Christmas to You" on M-G-M,
Roulette's "Carol of the Bells" by
the St. Patrick's Choir, Compo
Verde's 'The Carillon" on Top
Rank, the Beverly Sisters' "The
Little Donkey" on London, and
"Comin' Down the Chimney" by
Little Tootsie on Fidelity.

WASHINGTON — The deep-
ening interest of the Harris Sub-
committee staff of network quiz
probers in payola and alleged mu-
sic rigging deals on television, has
aroused questions about the fairly
recent ASCAP rule on background
music credit. The rule, which has
been made part of the proposed
weighting formula in the Consent
terms, would limit the number of
big-pay tunes, or standards, to four
per quarter hour in background
use. A ceiling would also go on
the special category of background
music which has had some com-
mercial recording.

The original weighting formula
accompanying the Decree terms
placed no limit on the number of
qualified, high-paying tunes that
could get full credit as background
music on network TV shows. Al-
tho the Johnny-come-latcly rule
limits the number of use credits
to eight qualifying tunes per half
hour, there is nothing in the rule
to prevent a single firm from pro-
viding all eight, for a total of ap-
proximately $560 per half hour, if a
use credit averages about $70.

For example, on a September 1
stanza of the "Price Is Right," re-
cently reported in The Billboard,
the almost 90 per cent predomi-
nance of Warner Group tunes could
run to 100 per cent, or all eight

Victor Plugs
'Along' Album

NEW YORK — "Take Me

smash Broadway musical starring
Jackie Gleason, is getting a big
promotional campaign from RCA
Victor. It is being featured in ads
this month in national consumer
magazines, and a saturation cam-
paign with disk jockeys. For deal-
ers the firm has set up a great
number of point - of - sale items,
including window displays, hangers
and mounted album covers. And
the firm has special co-op ad mats

than eight qualifying tunes are
used, as on "Beat the Clock,"
which logged 1 1 on its half-hour

each would be reduced "pro rata"
for a total equivalent to eight
tunes. (The Billboard, November

members on October 9, a few days
after the Harris (D., Ark.) Subcom-

Nets, AFM Ink
Jingles Pact

NEW YORK — The networks,
principal packagers and producers
of jingles, have agreed to an in-
crease in pay for AFM recording
musicians employed in scoring
jingles, plus re-use payments and a

per cent contribution to pensions.
The settlement of the jingle hassle
between the AFM and the networks
uas made late Thursday (12) at
the union's New York head-
quarters with AFM Prexy Herman

agencies who utilize musicians, nets,

pact is effective November 16 and
runs until January 31, 1963.

The new scale starts at $60 per
session for single instrumentalists,
$33.50 each for two to four

man for larger combinations of five
musicians and over. The new scale
averages 1 1 per cent over the pre-

CHICAGO — The board of di-

weekend (November 7-8), at which
time 26 additional deejays were

committee will be made up of
"persons actually engaged in the

DRC Unveils
Major label
Offers in Ad

HOLLYWOOD — The Diners'
Record Club took the wraps off of
major label product for the first
time in an ad aimed at attracting
more members. Packages were in-
cluded in a line-up of 1 18 albums.
Ad appeared jn the form of a gate-
fold in the November issue of the
regular monthly Diners' Club Mag-
azine circulated to the more than
a million credit card holders.

Inside flyer of the gate-fold
boasts "The Diners Club Proudly
Presents Records from Columbia,
RCA Victor, Mercury, Liberty, Hi-
Fidelity, Wesmiinster. Vanguard,
Omega, Elektra, Spoken Kn, Pe-
riod, Atlantic, World Pacific, Inter-
lude, King, Bethlehem, CNP,
Verve, and many others."

Close scrutiny of the array of
product reveals that most of the
major label wares offered, while
featuring top selling names in the
disk biz, appear to be on vintage
stock. "Two of the Mercury Rec-
ords in the club, for instance, are
cut outs, now available on the
Wing label for $1.98 monaural.
The RCA Victor items are from
the old Vik label which is now out
of business.

A considerable portion of the
club's independent label product,
similarly appears to be non-cur-
rent releases. When approached
for comment, Bernard Solomon,
club director, explained the use of
older wares in his ads baiting new
joiners. He said his club's policy
was consistent, for the most part,
with that followed by the other
chibs.

Solomon said the Diners' Rec-
ord Club is still pre-testing various
approaches to incorporating the
disk dealer in its over-all member
recruitment program. If the club
were to enter into open competi-
tion with retailers, he explained,
no matter how equitable a dealer

Storz Radio Bows Yule
Disk on Own Label

NEW YORK— The Storz Radio
chain last week debuted its own
label, Storz Records, with a Christ-
mas novelty disk. The platter, fea-
turing Tweetic and Sweety, the
parakeet and the canary, features
birdlike whistling versons of "Deck

. the Cage With Boughs of Holly,"
the event may be moved ahead to ! backed with "Silent Night."

the last week in February so jocks
will be able to remain at home
for "rating week."

Record companies will be in-
vited to participate — via sponsor-
ship of luncheons, cocktail parties,
etc. — but they will not be allowed
to engage in any promotional ac-
tivities during the forums.

Prexy Jim Hawthorne (KDAY),
Los Angeles was authorized by the
board to sign an agreement (after
consultation with DJA counsel Ben
Starr) with Associated Producers,

The disk, which was purchased
by Storz from Csida-Burton, Inc.,
was initially released only in the
five Storz station markets — Kansas
City, Mo. (WHB); Minneapolis
(WDGY): Miami (WQAM); Okla-
homa City (KOMA) and New Or-
leans (WTIX). Stori. has set local
dis;ribulion on the disk in all areas
but Kansas City.

The broadcasting chain's prexy,
Todd Storz said that the platter is
an experimenia: one-shot, but if
the results are good be might go

into the record business on a regu-
lar basis. He also noted that if the
disk catches on in the five Storz-
station areas and there is a national
demand, the record will be made
available to distributors in other
cities.

Arranged and conducted by Bob
Davie (Csida-Burton's artist and

NIGHT CLUB REVIEWS
Benny Gasses Old and Young Anew

It isn't quite the old days at the Hotel Pennsylvania's Man-
hattan Room, where Benny Gooodman was breaking it up 20
years ago. but it's mighty close to it these days at Basin Street
East in New York. For Benny Goodman himself, along with a
small band starring Red Norvo, Flip Phillips and Bill Harris, is
breaking it up again at the East Side club. This is the best B. G.
this reviewer has seen and heard in years; a more relaxed Benny
playing with almost the legendary skill of yore. And the huge
crowd that was present at the club last Friday night (6| felt that
way loo, enthusiastically applauding every solo Benny took, and
every selection from the old, great B. G. book.

Cioodman, just by virtue of being Goodman. alwa\s had an
electrifying effect on any audience. But it has been rare these last
few years that Goodman has displayed the form that he is showing
these days at Basin Street. And perhaps because of his perform-
ance, the entire band sparkles. The ork plays the great oldies
such as "Don't Be That Way," "It's Gotta Be This or I'hal." "Sing,
Sing. Sing." and many, many more, with a snap and drive that
brings back poignant memories of the fantastic Goodman crews
of the late .10's and early 40's.

Goodman is aided solidly by Non'O, playing the vibes in
strong fashion, the swinging sax work of Phillips, and the smooth
trombone work of the cool Harris. And the rest of the band,
consisting of Gene DiNoovi, Jack Sheldon. Jim Wyble. Red
Wooten. Jerry Dodgion and John Markham, cannot be over-
looked. The driving arrangements, some of which arc new by
Fred Karlin. and others freshened from the old Goodman trio and

In Boboli Features Seeco Artists

A trio of Seeco recording artists are enlivening the evenings
at In Boboli. East Side nitery operated by Arturo Sacco. formerly
of the Blue Angel. First, there's Aldo Bruschi's ensemble. Bruschi
is a Juitliard grad whose musicianship shows itself in canny
arrangements whether in backing the soloists or cutting the shows.
Current show features soprano Maria Candida and tenor Felix
Caballero. These handsome, attractive youngsters both have well-
trained, expressive voices which they show to advantage on
operatic arias as well as traditional, pop and folk numbers in
the Neapolitan vein.

Ihe nuisic is properly cued to the Italianle feeling of the
room over all under the musical guidance of A. Bruschi. who is part
of the management of Ihe spot. Caballero is understood to have
turned out an 1.P more in the pop vein than he flashes at the
club. His is an especially fine voice. With proper guidance atid
esfKtsurc he could become a song salesman of importance.

TV REVIEW

'Rate the Records' Showmanly Seg

( lay Cole, the new emsee on WNTA-TV's (Newark. N. J.)
"Rale the Records" show, has an ingratiating eagcr-beavcr-type
personality. He also has considerably more talent as a performer
than the average TV record hop jock, who is usually primarily
an emsec-salesman.

The show, which runs 30 minutes during Ihe week — 6:30-
7 p ni.. has been extended to a full hour on Saturdays (6-7
p.m.). Ihe telecast caught (7). spotlighted brisk pacing and ef-
fective production on lip-sync vocal stints by a flock of recording
artists — Jo-Ann Campbell, Don Rondo, Betty Madigan. the
Fireflies, Impalas. Ritchie Robbins, Tommy Facenda, Little An-
thony and the Imperials, Danny Valentine.

Nineteen-year-old Cole (formerly lagged Al Ricker) conies
on somewhat like a teen-aged Milton Berle, in that he frequently
participates in the production numbers. He dances and mugs with
a solid sense of showmanship and timing. On the show caught,
his lip-sync song and dance routine wilh cute Jo-Ann C amp-
bell was Ihe high spot of the hour.

The kids in the studio audience were well behaved and
neatly dressed: and in spite of Cole's youth (19) he kept them
in line at all times. June Bundy.

CONCERT REVIEWS

Francois Glows in Carnegie Return

Sumson Francois, the well-known French pianist, made his
first concert appearance in New York in many year^ at Curnegie
Hall last week (b). His interpretations of works by both l.iszi ami
Debussy were glowing, showing off a soft, tender touch that
made them pure poetry. And he displayed his dazzling technique
on Prokofieil's "Seventh Sonata," a difficult work that he romped
thru with ease. Only on a group of Chopin selections did the
pianist disappoint, mainly due to his highly personal phrasing.
Bui his performances on the Three Etudes of Debussy and
(he four shorter Liszf works were captivating. Angel Records,
who release the pianist's waxings here, has a potent talent to
CKploit in Francois. Bob Rolontz

gram was "Money, and How to
Get More of it Thru Country Mu-
»ic." Speakers taking part includ-
ed Dave Stone, Country Music
deejay and owner of four radio
stations in Texas and Colorado:
Jim Denny, veteran country music
publisher and prexy of the Jim
Denny Artists Bureau and Cedar-
wood Music; Cas Walker, colorful
supermarket operator from Knox-
ville, and Harry Stone, prexy of
the Country Music Association.

Dave Stone noted his successes
wiih sponsors in programming
plenty of country music. Denny
advised country jockeys to become
identified with worth-while com-
munity and welfare activities and
to promote shows in stores, plants,
etc., with themselves cast in the
role of emsce. Denny also noted
that perhaps jockeys who complain
of not getting disks from record
companies have at long last an
answer to their problem. He said
that Broadcast Music, Inc., has
agreed to furnish jockeys with a
list of all publishers and their ad-
dresses. "If you want to get any
record, just contact the publisher,"
Denny advised.

Cas Walker, long identified with
country music ("I Gave Tennessee
Ernie Ford the name, Pea-Picker"),
told of his radio advertising using
country music shows. "We sold
$2:.000,000 worth of groceries last
year with country music," he as-
aerled. "Rock and roll is all right,
but it won't put money in the cash
register."

Pret«nlati<m

Discussing the proper presenta-
tion of country music, Harry Stone
Mid: "Country music has come of
age. Don't try to rub your country
•how in com and don't try to sell
horse and buggy. People don't
want that anymore. I also urge you
to have country music emsees who
do not murder the king's English.
Country music has had a rough
tima in the last couple of years.

Right now it has a great opportun-
ity to regain lost ground."

The grand finale, as it was
called, featured a talk and demon-
stration by Dr. Spencer Thornton,
a soothsayer who has appeared on
the Jack Paar TV show and who
is known for his work with extra
sensory perception. Among other
things. Dr. Thornton predicted that
Elvis PreslcN would become a bal-
ladecr upon his discharge from the
Army, and that sonic disk jockeys
might be getting free trips to Wash-
ington soon. He also named about
a dozen recently released disks by
country artists which he predicted
would be top hits. During his talk.
Thornton called Nashville "The
Cape Canaveral of show business."
BMI Affair

Other official events included a
gala Thursday evening affair spon-
sored by BMI at the nearby Belle
Meade Country Club. Following
cocktails and dinner, annual BMI
awards were presented. Other
awards to artists by the trade press
were to be presented at a WSM re-
ception Saturday afternoon. This
was the extent of the curtailed list
of official functions. These plus
the less formal fun-making activi-
ties and performances by the roster
of "Opry ' artists received unusual-
ly heavy press, radio and TV cov-
erage.

"The grand climax to the country
music weekend came with the 34lh
birthday performance of the
"Grand Ole Opry" Saturday eve-
ning in the "Opry's" traditional
Ryman Auditorium ' setting. Birth-
day cake ceremonies were featured
during the show.

During the opening ceremonies,

lowing sponsors: Bob Burton, exec

TV 'LINE' SHOW
DROPS 'COASTER'
AS THEME TUNE

NEW YORK — The E. H.
Morris copyright, "Roller
Coaster," after having been
used for eight years as a clos-
ing theme on the CBS-TV
panel show, "What's My Line,"
has been replaced by a copy-
right handled by the Music
Publishers' Holding Corpo-
ration. "What's My Line" is
produced by Goodson-Todman
and MPHC is the Warners
music operation.

Trade observers noted that
an interesting on-again off-
again series of maneuvers
started on May 24, 1959. On
this date, and on subsequent
shows thru June 21, "Roller
Coaster" was taken off and re-
placed by the Warners-owned
"I Know That You Know."

"Roller Coaster" was re-
turned as the closing theme on
June 28 and remained until
October 4.

Starting with the October
1 1 I ogram, one tune "Toy
Trumpet," in Circle Music, the
Raymond Scott firm handled
by MPHC, replaced the E. H.
Morris copyright. "Trumpet"
has been carried consistently
since that date.

"Roller Coaster" was written
by Milton DeLugg and Lou
Busch in 1949. Morris ac-
quired the copyright, and it
began its long run on "What's
My Line" in 1951.

House-FCC Payola Probe

Continufd from page 2

WMGM, New York, commented,
To me payola is something given
with a string attached and a knowl-
edge that there be a return." Mar-
shall said he personally has never
participated in any outside activi-
ties — such as operating a music
publishing firm, etc.

May Hurt Innocent

However, be added, "I don't con-
demn those who do. In my 22
years of broadcasting," said Mar-
shall, "I have never had a payola
offer. I've also heard a lot about
girls and payola, but I've never
even been asked to have a cup of
coffee." The jock predicted "a lot
of innocent people would get hurt,"
adding. "Its not fair to the in-
dustr) to brush everybody with the
same smear."

Marshall stressed that "No one
representing any organization can
speak lor me." This was a refer-
ence to the wire deejay Murray
Kaufman. WINS, New York, sent
to the Harris Committee last week,
wherein he .said he spoke for "900
members " of a disk jockey group,
and demanded an apology for the
pa\ola inferences.

In line with this. Bill Williams,
WNEW, New York, went on the
air the day after Kaufman's wire
was released to the press, and told
his listeners "This fellow repre-
senting himself as a spokesman for
disk jockeys is like the bat boy
speaking for the New York Yank-
ees."

Meanwhile, the board of direc-
tors of Disk Jockey Association,
Inc., (not affiliated with the Kauf-
man group) issued the following
Mstement: "DJA, Inc., a profes-

sional organization representing
those who select and present re-
corded music on radio and tele-
vision is aware of current news
stories concerning a complaint that
unethical practices involving un-
due pressures and persuasions
have been applied to certain dee-
jays in the conduct of their duties.

"Our association is concerned
that unfavorable publicity resulting
from this complaint may bring un-
warranted discredit to our profes-
sion and to the broadcasting indus-
try in which we have our employ-
ment as a whole. We offer our
fullest co-operation to the broad-
casting industry in supporting and
maintaining the public's confidence
in the ethical standards and prac-
tices of the broadcasting industry
and in the profession of disk
jockey and music programmer."

Bill Randle, WERE, Cleveland,
recalled that he predicted payola
practices would be investigated
several months ago at the Colum-
bia Records Seminar. "At that
time," said Randle. "I commented
'We haven't seen anything yet.'
The statcnirnt still goes."

I Disk, Phono
I Sales Boom
In Sweden

STOCKHOLM — Records arc
booming here these days and pho-
nograph sales are jumping as weU.
At the present time record sales
are a good 10 per cent over last
year, and Sweden now is number
three — in relation tj population
— as a record buying country, sur-
passed only by the United States
and Germany.

Record sales in 1958 came to
more than $8,500,000, a big sum
for the country. The pattern of
record imports in Sweden these
days is interesting, too. Gernian
made records ir first, with Amer-
ican platters second and Danish
diskings third. However, Swedish
disk manufacturers themselves are

, racking up a good export trade.

I Metronome, the top exporter of
records from Sweden, recently

, Germany to handle the demand.

accusing the Society's current ad-
ministralio'i of serving ASCAP's
"vested interests" ratlier than its
rank and file. He peppered his
address with such words as "false,"
"fradulenl" and "masquerade" in
describing the board's actions.

Said Fox: "I must emphasize the
fact that Ihe negotiations con-
ducted over the past year or two
have been solely between these two
parlies (ASCAP's board and the
Justice Department) you and I, the
rank and file members of ASCAP
—99 per cent of the electorate —
have never been consulted and
therefore have no voice whatso-
ever in the determinations reached
as evidenced in this proposed de-
cree, arrived at by consent — but
by the consent of whom? Not the
consent of the ASCAP membership
at large, but the consent of the
vested interests who control the
Society in every phase of the ac-
tivity, a control which has been
all inclusive and secure since the
very inception of the Society.

"This was highlighted most spec-
tacularly in the Federal Court in
Foley Square on October 20th,
when Judge Sylvester Ryan refused
to sign the proposed order which
was supposedly placed before him
by consent but which he correctly
stated was obviously not before him
by consent. And it was for this

reason he asked that the entire
membership itself be asked to vote
its approval or disapproval of the
proposed decree." Fox quoted
from the Court's transcript to illus-
trate his point.

Scores Board

Fox then levelled his guns at
the ASCAP boards "The adminis-
tration and board of directors of
ASC.\P have always been most
careful to identify themselves as
ASCAP whenever they come to the
membership at large on those few
occasions when it becomes neces-
sary for them to do so, and they
have projected the false theory that
the welfare of the board is identi-
cal with the welfare of the 6,400
members of ASCAP and that when-
ever the board is taken to task by
the government that it is the mem-
bership of ASCAP as a whole that
is censured. The facts show that
this masquerade which they have
carefully nurtured is as patently
fraudulent as to represent that this
performing rights society is formu-
lated along democratic lines in-
stead of Sie tight little oligarchy
which is a more truthful descrip-
tion of the present political nature
of the Society. The simple truth is
that the welfare of these competi-
tors who hold the control of the
Society in the palm of their hands
is not always consonant with the
welfare of the rest of the member-
ship. The recorded history of the
Society's Internal affairs shows
that the terms of this proposed con-
sent order are not consistent with
the best interests of the vast ma-
jority of the membership, but in-
stead protect only the interests of
that small group which controls the
Society, as was the case in the two
previous consent decrees."

Fox then quoted from the Roose-
velt Subcommitte's memorandum

I in an effort to substantiate this
claim: ". . . The available informa-
tion indicates quite strongly that the
Society paid little heed to the pro-
visions of the consent decree en-
tered in 1950. The members of
ASCAP's board of directors possess
unusual powers and must assume
responsibility for the manner in
which the Society has been man-
aged, including the alleged failure
to confirm to the terms of the or-
ders of the U. S. District Court,
i There would therefore appear to
1 be a basis for questioning the eli-
gibility of these individuals to serve
the Society further in any capacity.
] No such pro 'ision, however, ap-
pears in the decree now being ad-
vanced by the Antitrust Division."
I "The claimed injustices stcm-
] ming from current ASC.\P griev-
j ance procedures are well known.
They include, among others, the in-
I ability to obtain justice without
j waiting months or years; the in-
; ability to obtain proper compensa-
I tion because retroactive adjust-
ments are not permitted; the inabil-
ity to utilize the procedures as nec-
essary for the member could pros-
ecute but one appeal per year, etc.
It is in this area, particularly, that
the ruling clique within ASCAP ap-
pears to have demonstrated a feel-
ing of indifference toward the wel-
fare of the smaller publisher and
composer members."

■Chapter & Verse'
Fox then offered to "cite chap-
ter and verse" in answering any
questions asked from the floor.'*
jiowever, before he could call on
his first questioner, prcxy Adams
blocked the procedure. He re-
minded Fox he was present to
address the assembly and not to
answer queries. Fox complied with
this ruling, stating he will ask
himself the type of questions which
"most assuredly" must be running
thru the minds of the membership
and answer them. After several
self-posed, self-answered questions,
I few protests from the floor

prompted Fox to cut his question
and answer segment short.

One of his self-posed questions
had to do with the prospect ol dis-
solution of ASCAP in the event the
membership voted against the con-
sent order. In reply. Fox read an
opinnion on the likelihood of such
an occurance rendered by his law
firm, Covington & Burling:

"Practically speaking there is no
reason to believe that the Society
need fear dissolution by an order
of the court. We conclude tbi»
primarily from the fact that it ap-
pears quite clear that neither the
government nor the hoard of direc-
tors nor any of the persons who
participated in the proceedings on
October 19 and 20 before Judge
Ryan, in any way, expressed the
desire that the court act to dissolve
the Society. It seems especially
significant to us that the govern-
ment attorneys did not point to thii
possibility at any time in their pres-
entation in support of the proposed
order or at any other time during
the hearing. The fact that the gov-
ernment seems to have no desire
for dissolution is most important
because as a practical matter, dis-
solution would nc be ordered by
the court if the government did not
seek it."

Fox received a warm hand for
his appearance. ASCAP attorney
Arthur Dean rose to good -
humoredly refute the Covington A
Burling opinion concerning the
prospect of ASCAP's dissolution.
He reminded those present that
lawyers can give opinions, but they
are not infallible. Covington S^
Burling, he said, undoubtedly told
Du Pont that it could emerge un-
scathed by the government's recent
antitrust action against it for own-
ing 28 per cent of General Molon
stock. Dean won applause and
laughter for making this point.

Leon Power look the rostrum.
He identified himself as "« small
writer" without knowledge of law,
without backing of any group er

Pro & Con Parade

The parade continued of pro and
con speakers from the floor. Most
telling was a short address by Max
Herman, veepee of AFM's Local 47
and also a small ASCAP publisher.
Herman confessed to the assem-
bly that three years ago he led a
rebel faction within the local
against 'he AFM's administration
forces and resorted to litigation.
This, Herman said, eventually
flared into a still festering situa-
tion which created Cecil Read's
rival Musicia-iS Guild of America
and has cost musicians more than
a half-million dollars in legal fees.
The situation is still unresolved
and has created a split in the
ranks of riusicians. He pleaded
with ASCAP's members to learn
by his example and avoid litiga-
tion, straightening out whatever
ills may exist in its own family
without resorting to the courts.

Mack David appealed in sup-
port of the Consent Order. He said
he wiis opposed to the recognized
performance fund provision but
plans to take this up with ASCAP's
board after the Consent Decree is
granted rather than buck the en-
tire Consent Order.

Arthur Freed also campaigned
for Ihe Consent Order, telling
members: "We cannot be invaded
from within and attacked from
without and still stand as a So-
ciety." He called for a closing of
ranks behind the board and see it
thru the present crisis. He con-
gratulated the board for doing a
difficult job well, and received a
healthy hand for his words.

Disney Music's Jimmy Johnson
appeared on behalf of the dissi-
dents, stating that 40 per cent of
the vole as controlled by the big
publishers meant voting control of
the Society.

Composer Walter Gross made an
impassioned plea, sparked with
laugh - provoking jibes, tor voting

the logging system, which, he
claimed ASCAP maintains, must

tunes and that ASCAP avail itself
of these logs. He also suggested
that ASCAP not exert economy

dures. "All you have to do," he
said, "is cut out just one of those

to properly log \rca\ radio."

Attorney Arthur Dean countered
the FCC suggestion by slating this

WNEW pur four of ils deejays on
ttic air Sunday (15) and asked
rlieni (tie $64,000 question —
"Have you ever beei approached
with a payola offer?"

The laped panel discussion was
aired by WNEW Sundav (15) from
7:35 to 8:30 p.m. with WNEW
news and special events director
Martin Weldon as moderator. Dee-
jays included William B. Williams,
Pete Myers, and Gene Klavan and
Dee Finch.

Also on the panel were station
manager John Sullivan, program
director Mark Olds, Journal Amer-
ican radio-record columnist Altra
Bacr and Paul Ackerman, music
editor of The Billboard.

All of the panel members agreed
thai payola does ciist and is fairly
widespread. Williams and Myers
both said they had been personally
approached. Myers commented:
"Well I've been approached but I
have alw'ays turned it down, be-
cause — well maybe I am afraid of
being caught. Probably thaff it. I
guess I am as honest as any jockey"
Williams said he has never been
offered money, explaining: "1 have
been approached. I was once of-
fered a color TV set if I would
'lean on' a certain type oT record.
I wish I knew psychologically why
I turned it down. 1 think part of
it is something Pete touched on —
pride in the fact that I would then
not have control over my show."

Williams told a story about a
jock on a network station in New
^ ork, that had been told him by
"about eight song pluggers." The
jock noted: "He used to have a
list, and it was broken down to
"Monday — lunch,' '.Monday — din-
ner,' Tuesday — lunch,' etc., thru
the week and be would read the
list to the song pluggers at the
beginning of the week. 'Monday
at lunchtime you lake me to din-
ner,' etc., and so on all thru the
week. From *hat I understand
this boy never went for a check."

However, the panel approved an
occasional lunch and token-type
Christmas gifts. Olds opined:
"I here is a tremendous difference
between a thank-you and bribe.
. . . I see nothing wrong for in-
stance in saying thank you to a
person by mean« of a trifling gift
where the monetary value is not
much, $5 or $10 or $15." At this
point Finch cracked: "Don't kill
our Christmas business Mark."

It was brought out that payola
exists in the newspaper business.
Miss Baer said: "1 am no* a disk
jockey but I have been approached
with cash offers. It shocked me
when il first happened and 1 have
learned how to deai with this sum-
ni.irlly."

Klavan suggested that if a probe
is started, publishers or distributors
might make bettei witnesses than
deejays. He noted, "If a publisher
or distributor is called and they
s.ii., 'Have you ever given payola)'
and be says 'Yes I have.' and they,
•To whom?' that's a little more
practical."

Ackcnnan brought up the sub-
ject of "free records or freebees,"
at one point, co-nmcnting: "In the
case of freebees (where a manufac-
turer sells 1. 000 records to a dis-
tributor and gives an additional
300 free, wh. :h are called promo-
tion platters' but usually end up
in stores for sale) I think that quite
a lot of this is a violation of the
copyright act. I don't believe the
publisher generally is paid, or the
songwriter. But nevertheless, this
has become rather customary. I
believe this merits some explora-
tion."

Finch introduced the subject of
taxes, noting: "If we find out
where this money is coming from,
the next question is are these peo-
ple who are giving this money tak-
ing this off as a legitimate business

Local station i expense? Is thi» a legitimate form

I This Is the big ant I

IMARINA"

of promotion as long as you list
it on your taxes and the person
who receives it lists it with the gov-
ernment — is that all right?"

.Myers opined that any investiga-
tion conimrttee should look for the
source of the payola. He pointed
out tha. promotional costs (pre-
sumably including any payola) ulti-
mately comes out of an artist's rec-
ord royalty. "If there is any real
immorality in payola," said Myers,
"it Is the siphoning off of this
money in front of the artists' an-
ticipated royalties. He doesn't get
anything until this whole thing is
washed out."

All of the panel members agreed
that there is "a cloud over the disk
jockey fraternity." Williams
opined: "I think we are in need of
public relations to a jircji extent."

However, Ackemia poinied out:
"If a probe takes place 'i would be
harmful, if it's merely a surface
probe. It could present a scat-
tered picture of some payola. If
a probe takes place I think >t
should be rather thoro so as to
show a picture in depth of the
disk jockey fraternity, most of
whom 1 believe are respectable
people."

There was also a discussion of
the possible effects of payola on
"Top 50," "Top 40," type station
listings. Myers said: "I think that
when a record suddenly jumps in
the first two days into a position
of 32 or 29 or 19 on one of these
lists, and Is then mailed back to
the music publisher in New York
so he can take it around elsewhere
and show that the song has gained
conmierclal acceptance in another
market, this boosts its acceptance
in market after market and starts
the chain reaction that can build
a hit in radio, and payola often
comes into play here."

Finch contended that no jockey
can "make" a record but Williams
disagreed and said he thought if
the public hears a disk played of-
ten enough the public begins to
believe it's a big hit, even if they
personally don't like it.

Sullivan, who pledged WNEW's
full support In any effort to root
out payola, said: "I don't have a
great deal of knowledge of pay-
ola. I do have some knowledge of
WNEW, and to my knowledge, it
doesn't exist here."

Sullivan also commented that if
he found out a WNEW jockey
was taking payola: "I'm sure that
I would probably taint because,
honestly It would be a foreign or
alien realization for me." He
added: "I know how much money
(the jocks) make, and as long as
they're worth it, they'll be here
unless they begin to augment it
from some place else."

The 3M Tape Cartridge:
An Exclusive Description

Seen Posing Phono Competition
But No Threat to Reel Tape

By SAM CHASE
NEW YORK — The new tape

Ibeiieved thai 3M will control all
I licensing on the system, which is its

... ., . „ ^ ,„„j lZ ' own. but will likely limit itself to

cartridge system _developed by ^3„„f3„ufe of tape to be used

Minnesota Mining & Manufactur-
ing Company, first details about
which were disclosed exclusively
last week by The Billboard, will
not be shown publicly until some-
time during 1960, and will not
likely become commercially prac-
ticable until 1961 at best. Even as
The Billboard secured additional
exclusive details concerning the 3M
development, it became apparent
that qualities inherent in the sys-
tem render negligible the possi-
bility that it can do anything but
help sell the concept of tape with-
out competing with today's reel
tape sales.

There's no doubt that the 3M
system is unique — and possibly
revohitionary. Like the RCA Vic-
tor cartridge to which it may pose
•tern competition, the 3M develop-
ment is mainly geared for the mass
market, and its ultimate object is
the displacement of phonographs
and records. However, it is unlikely
to woo away proponents of the
tep - fidelity sound which comes
from reel-to-reel tape

Last week. The Billboard dis-
closed that the 3M cartridge will
operate at a speed of V/i inches
per second, half that of the Victor
cartridge and one-fourth the speed
of the slowest reel tape. The story
also indicated that the 3M tech-
nique will permit stacking of car-
tridges, for consecutive play.

This week. The Billboard can re-
veal that the size of the tape used
in the 3M cartridge is less than half
as wide as the '/4-inch common
In the industry now. As a result,
the cartridge will play for about
one hour in stereo, same as the
Victor cartridge, but on about 3/5
the amount of tape. This can likely
result in some ultimate price advan-
tage to 3M. altho the physical tape
is only one of the many cost factors
in producing a cartrii!ge.

Plush Fimu Involved

Involved with 3M in this de-
velopment are understood to be
such firms as CBS. Inc., Zenith and
the giant Dutch electrcnics outfit,
Phillips. Exact contractural rela-
tionship is not yet clear, but it is

3M CONFIRMS
NEW CARTRIDGE

ST. PAUL — As a result of
The Billboard's exclusive story
last week concerning the new
tape cartridge under develop-
ment by Minnesota Mining,
that company has issued the
following statement of con-
firmation:

Minnesota Mining & Manu-
facturing Company confirmed
today that it is continuing
work on its new system of re-
cording music fur the home,
« new tape cartridge.

Herbert P. Buetow, presi-
dent of 3M, says that its sys-
tem will not be unveiled until
sometime in 1960, and that no
instrument can be expected for
at least a year.

The 3M executiv* said it
would be premature to reveal
any other information regard-
ing the new cartridge system
at this time.

cartridge player, possibly under
other firms' names as well as its
own. CBS would like to produce
the pre-recorded tapes thru its Co-
lumbia Record arm, and has par-
ticipated actively in the lab work
on the system. Phillips could be
interested in manufacturing both
the player and tapes for the Eu-
ropean market.

The 3M cartridge player, in pro-
totype form, can play five car-
tridges automatically — the equiv-
alent of about five hours of play.
These are stacked on a single spin-
dly by inserting them into an
aperture in the player. The top
cartridge, when it finishes play,
pops upward and is replaced at
the playing head by the one di-
rectly beneath it.

Cigarette Size

Each cartridge, in size, is roughly
comparable to a pack of cigarettes.
Like Victor's, the tapes are en-
cased in plastic. It's undentood
that it would be possible to edit
them, if necessary.

The quality of the sound repro-
duced from the 3M system, accord-
ing to those who have heard it, is
at least equal or superior to that
from disk, altho not up to that from
reel tapes. Because of this, it is un-
likely to cut much into the market
for reel tape buyers, for advocates

EDITORIAL

Sell Tape Now!

New technological developments frequently bring a certain
amount of confusion, and the current happenings in tape are
no exception. The new tape cartridge being developed by
Minnesota Mining may eventually prove to be a real revolution
and, pernaps with the RCA cartridge, may help change the
entire home music playback habits of America some day. But
all that is in the distant future.

At this moment, the tape industry, from manufacturer down
thru dealer, is looking with keen concern upon all developments
bearing upon current business. The sale of tape and tape players
in the forthcoming Christmas season and in the year of 1960
may well have a considerable bearing on whether 3M even
considers it worthwhile to market its new device.

• To all who have read The Billboard's exclusive coverage
of this development and wondered how it will affect their tape
business at this time, we strongly advise them to stop considering
it at all. While it is our obligation to inform these readers of
new developments, we also urge them to sell present tape
systems now, and sell tbem bard. There are sound business
reasons for this course:

1. In the first place, the 3M system cannot become «
commercial reality in any form for over a year (see 3M state-
ment to The Billboard).

2. When it does arrive, its appeal will be to a particular
market, as indicated in the accompanying story. This market it
NOT, for the most part, the market currently interested in tape.

3. Therefore, dealers will not steer any present tape custom-
ers wrong by urging them to proceed with present purchases,
as planned. Nor can dealers themselves go wrong by adding to
their tape inventory as tho the 3M device did not exist.

4. Finally, developments this week assure dealers complete
protection against economic derangement from future changes.
The Ampex announcement (see story on Page One) to this effect
is certain to have a stabilizing effect and well may point the
way to other firms in the tape industry.

To sum up, we cannot urge the tape industry strongly
enough to continue all present efforts to sell the theory and
practice of tape. We believe that a great opportunity exists for
a renaissance in tape sales io the season and year directly ahead.
We trust that full advantage will be taken at this opportunity
knowing that intelligent planning is safeguarding the industry
in the future.

Victor Preps Plug-In Player for
Mass Cartridge Sales in 1960

CAMDEN. N. J.— Still exuding
confidence over the future of its
tape cartridge system despite poten-
tial competition, RCA Victor this
week planned a drive for mass sale
of its cartridge players in 1960. In
the works is a marketing plan for a
new model which recalls the
method used by the firm in sue-

Now, Victor is about to commence
production on a tape cartridge
player which, similarly, can he
plugged into present equipment.
Delivery will commence in Febru-
ary, and the model will be priced
under SI 00, or less than half the
cost of the cheapest present model.
It's understood that production

cessfully launching its 45 r.p.m. of this model will run around

disks about a decade ago.

At that time, to secure play for
its new-speed records, RCA mar-
keted a small, inexpensive player
which could operate by plugging it
into existing phono equipment.

quired London Records catalog in
its established reel-to-reel four-track
form. UST's first London release
will he made around the first of
the year. It will consist of 65 tapes
which will be the equivalent to
1 1 2 LP's. Prices will be compar-
able to stereodisks.

The first release will include II
complete operas performed by such
artists as Tibaldi, De Stefano, Si-
monatti, De Monico and Siepi.
U.ST's schedule calls for releasing
•pproximately 20 complete operas
from London's catalog during the
forthcoming year. Heretofore, only
three full operas have been avail-
able to tape collectors. Operas
will be priced identically to that of
their stereodisks counterparts, thus
making it the first time in record-
ing history that consumers won't
have to pay premium prices for
tape versions of operas.

UST will issue a total of 35

5,000 per month during I960. As
a starting production figure, this is
substantial in the light of many
trade estimates that a total of
about 500,000 tape players of all
types are likely to be sold during

NEW YORK — P. J. Casella,
executive veepce for consumer
products of RCA, has been given
the additional responsibility for the
RCA Victor Distributing Corpora-
tion. C;iscl!a will now report di-

the equivalent of 55 LP's. In nu-
merous instances, single reels will
contain as much music as two com-
plete LP's. Symphotiy orchestra
conductors featured in this release
will include Ansermel, Kubelik,
Soiti, Argenta, Munchinger, Krips,
and Von Karajan.

On the pop side, UST will issue
four Mantovani four-track tapes
(equivalent to six stereodisks) plus
albums by Frank Chacksfield, Ted
Heath, Stanley Black and Edmundo
Ros.

USTs pact allows it to lease
London's master tapes of all ma-
terial now produced or distributed
in this country. Contract was
signed by London's veepee, Leon
Hartstone and Ampex's Brown.
UST will manufacture and distrib-
ute the tape product. It is now
distributing tape versions of 23 re-
cording firms.

Colored Tape
Applauded

NEW YORK — Audio Devices
reports that its new colored mag-
netic tape, which comes in green,
and blue, as well as the standard
brown, has been of great use in
the educational and scientific fields.
The firm's own survey discloses that
schools using tape in speech, drama,
language and other courses, have
noted that the use of the colored
tape simplifies sorting according to
content. Libraries have found use
for it where classification is always
a problem. And non-profit groups
who send tapes to radio stations
for public service use claim that by
using the colored tapes they are
more likely to get their lapings
returned from the station.

COLUMBUS. O. — Bell Sound,
which backed RCA Victor's tape
cartridge system by bringing out
six models of players which will
handle the Victor cartridge, this
week expressed confidence thai if
tape is to reach the mass market
at this time, it still must do so thru
this system, regardless of future
developments. "We're in business
with the Victor cartridge, and we
mean- to stay in it," said one top
Bell exec to The Billboard.

As evidence of this intent. Bell
completed arrangements for a net-
work of distributors for its cartridge
players, which it calls the Bell
Stcrco-Pak. Bell is utilizing two-
step distribution for the Stereo-Pak,
against the one-step it utilizes for
I its high fidelity components. A
j number of the distribs named will
I make the players available to ap-
j pliance and photo dealers as well
|?s hi-fi shops, music-record stores
and department stores. Complete

coast-to-coast distribution will have
been completed by the end of this
year.

Earl V. SaJa, Be'l's general sales
manager, told The Billboard that
shipments have been made of the
full line to the distributors, and that
dealers c?n expect stock momen-
tarily, if it has not yet already ar-
rived.

B^ll feels that while it cannot
gaze into the crystal ball and es-
timate the effect of a potential
Minnesota Mining cartridge in the
years ahead, a good market exists
now for current product. As a re-
sult, it is planning a consumer
push, starting with an ad for the
Stcrco-Pak in the December Es-
quire. Sales meetings will be set
up with local distributors for pro-
motion on a market - by - market
basis, involving local newspaper
ads.

EMI to Import Raw
Tape Here in 1960

NEW YORK — FIcclrical &
Musical Industries will begin im-
porting raw tape Into ttic United
Stales sometime in I960, accord-;
ing to Herbert Weisburgh of Scope
Electronics. Scope is currently ,
handling distribution and sales of \
EMI high fidelity components and i
professional electronic equipment.
EMI introduced its raw tape line
in Canada at the recently - com-
pleted Toronto high fidelity show,
and Canadian officials said they |
believed introduction here would ■
follow in short order. The tape line^
consists of standard reel sizes and
lengths of tape, priced to compete

Sylvania Adds
12 New Stereo
Console Models

NEW YORK — Sylvania Home
Electronics Corporation has added
12 new self - contained stereo hi fi
console phonos to its 1960 line.

Ranging in list price from
$199.95 to $469.95, the consoles
feature a wide range in furniture
styling — contemporary, modern,
provincial, traditional and early
American cabinetry. Three of the
new models feature Sylvania's
three - directional stereo sound.
These list at $399.95.

The $469.95 model features six
speakers, AM-FM tuner and exten-
sion speaker enclosure. Listing at
$249.95 is a console styled with
a record album cabinet centered
between the master unit and the
stereo extension enclosure.

with domestic product. All of the
tapes shown in Toronto were ace-
latc-bascd.

Weisburgh explained that it may
be as late as next fall before the
tape is read for distribution. He
said that professional users such
as broadcasters and recording stu-
dios were testing it now- to see if
it met American specifications. In
addition, there is a packaging prob-
lem. In Britain, Emrtape features
the trade-marks of the various
EMI record labels — His Master's
Voice, Parlophone, Columbia — on
the package. Weisburgh pointed
out that EMI docs not hold the
rights to those trade-marks in the
United Slates, which necessitates
developing a new package. The
boxes displayed in Canada did not
contain the offending trade-marks

Scope will set up a manufac-
turers' rep distribution system to
handle the tapes, which will be
marketed thru record stores, music'
shops, hi-fi specialty dealers, cam-
era stores and other outlets now
handling raw tape. The prices will
be competitive, Weisburgh em-
phasized, even tho EMI faces trans-
portation costs and import duties
not faced by American manufactur-
ers. "We can do it because sales in
Britain have long since paid off the
engineering costs. All we have to
worry about are shipping, packag-.
ing, manufacture and advertising."

In addition to the home recorder
tape, EMI will include tapes for
instrumentation and television use.

of sound purity probably will be
unwilling to settle for a tape car-
tridge any more than they would
settle for disk.

The pre-recorded tap.s for the
3M cartridge are made via a com-
plex process on top quality pro-
fessional equipment, contributing
to the good dynamic range and fre-
quency response when played back
at the 1?'» ips speed. Whether
the 3M player will also be able to
record with comparable quality is
regarded as a moot question at this
time. It's felt that it can likely
'do « completely adequate job for
voice, parlies, etc., but that for
high fidelity music a special at-
tachment would be required. While
this doubtless could be made a piece
of optional equipment, the addi-
tional cost would probubly send the

of reel tape, thus making its choice
debatable to the audiophile who
wishes to do a great deal of music
recording.

In short, the 3M development
has great potential portents for the
industry. It will bring, in the fu-
ture, a second method of tape car-
tridge playback and recording to
that portion of the mass market
which currently is interested in rec-
ords, yet it is not deemed likely
to make inroads into the tape mar-
ket which exists today. In this re-
spect, it is regarded by most trade-
slers as auguring an even healthier
ultimate future for tape.

RESORT HOPS: Taping of deejay shows and staging of
record hops has proved such a success at Grossinger's. the Catskill
resort, that the hotel plans to continue them thru the summer.
Gene Kaye, WAEB. Allentown, Pa., will tape his shows — for
rc-broadcast by his outlet — at Grossingers during the Thanksgiving
holiday, while Stan Dale, WAIT, Chicago, is scheduled for a
tape session at the hotel Christmas and New Yearns.

Last week, Grossingers saluted New York outlet
WRCA's "Wall to Wall" music policy, by playing tapes
(featuring mood music-type disk selections) supplied by the
station over the resort's p.a. system. The station's entire
jockey roster and program director Steve White attended a
dinner which Ihe resort held in their honor. Alan Foshka,
who engineered the deejay-type program for Grossingers%

etc. — are attracting adults as well as teenagers. He now
plans to screen telefilms — featuring disk artists lip-syncing
to their latest hits — at the hops.

was represented on more than 200 records. This, coupled with the
fact Ih^t he's got a top-selling artist in Grant, he feels, should spur

This is the time and place for a happy "Thank
you !" to the record companies. We couldn't
rightly say if they've backed up you dealers
with more consumer ad pages in HIGH FI-
DELITY than any place else (too damn
many pages to count) , but they've doiie real
good by you, brother.

You should go big for it because there's none
of this malarkey about . . . "Our national ad-
vertising is reaching ooftey-million jjeople !"
So who cares about millions all over the map?
You've got to make a living in your own back-
yard—or else. You've got a fat rent bill com-
ing in every month, and a load of inventory
to keep moving fast, period.

So take heart with HIGH FIDELITY We've
got the best and brightest record buyers
reading this magazine, and there's more
than enough of them within easy distance of
your place to keep stirring things up. They
know what they want, and they buy a lot, and
they keep coming back. They love good music
—and they're loyal to good dealer service.

What's more . . . they never clam up on their
favorite subject. They're selling all the time
for you. So, thanks for taking good care of
them . . . and thanks, too, for your good opin-
ion of HIGH FIDELITY, The Magazine for
Music Listeners, Great Harrington, Mass.

SPOTLIGHT WINNERS
OF THE WEEK

Sirongetl salei potential of all albums reviewed this week.

Pop

ENDLESSLY

Brook Benton. Mercur}' ST 60146. (Stereo & Monaural)

— Brook Benton, one of today's most consistent hitmakcni.
has an outstanding new album here that should rack up
solid sales. It contains one of his biggest hits, the title
tune, and a group of standards, including "Because of
You," "More Than You Know" and "Blue Skies."
Benton sings them with feeling in his own mellow style,
and the arrangements by Fred Norman are mighty smooth.

Cloiticol

THE ART OF MILSTEIN

Nathan Mlbtein. Capitol SPBR 8502. (Stereo & Mon-
aural) — The violinist offers a program that includes the
Tchaikovsky "Violin Concerto," Beethoven's "Sonula No. 5
for Violin and Piano," with Rudolph Firkusny accompany-
ing, and several other, shorter works. The two-volume
set is handsomely packaged with an informative booklet
with excellent program notes, background material, etc.
Sound is excellent. Package should be a strong seller.

THE VIRTUOSO ORGAN

VirO Fox. Capitol SPAR 8499. (Stereo & Monaural) —

Fox presents an excellent program of organ music that
includes works by Bach, Vaughn-Williams and Franck.
He performs the selections on the Aeolian-Skinner organ
of the Riverside Church in New York. In addition to the
wonderful teclinique and quality of the recording, the set
has an informative booklet with pictures of the organ,
its various mechanisms, etc. Sound is first-rate.

Children'!

FABLE FOREST

Jim Copp. Playhouse 202 — Several months ago. actor Jim
Copp started his own label, made a kiddie album which
he distributed himself, and received wide acclaim for a
sleeper. Now he's back with a new one, repeating the
exceptional quality and originality of his first effort with
15 cleverly produced fables, ancient and new. They are
done with humor and freshness, plus extraordinary sound
effects. Can be recommended as top fare for kids. Colorful
cover should draw attention.

Chriitmat low-Pric*

SANTA CLAUS IN PERSON

RCA Victor LBV 1033 — Here's an album that will ap-
peal to youngsters from five to eight. It contains songs
and stories and a game that children should enjoy.
And to help the kids along there is a complete song book
with all the carols that are performed in the album. The
stories include "Twas the Night Before Christmas." "The
Cat on the Dovrefell" and "The Fir Tree." It should both
interest children and keep thero amused.

Specially

BULLRING!

Commentary by Carlos Arruza. Riverside RP 5501 —

Carlos Arruza. one of Mexico's famous matadors (now re-
tired) gives a narrative of the events and history of the
art of bullfighting. One side of the disk is devoted to an
explanation of terms, etc. The other has locale recordings
of two bull fights. Crowd noise and the brass band of
El Torco help give the set color. Sound is excellent, and
Arruza's narration is interesting and compelling.

POP DISK JOCKEY PROGRAMMINO

SIL AUSTIN PLAYS PRETTY FOR THE PEOPLE

Mercury ST 60096. (Stereo tc Monaural) — Here's a new Sil
Aii'<iin. The honking sound is subdued, and the result is a pop I.P
with strong commercial appeal. Rich sax solo work by Austin is
spotlighted on a group of soulful standards with a nice assist from a
chcral group. Fine jockey wax. Selections include his single,
'Danny Boy," "Ruby," "My Foolish Heart," etc.

UNTAMED:

Elizabeth Lands, Mercury SR 60108, (Stereo & Monaural) —

Elizabeth Lands, an unusual new voice, makes a most interesting
debut on this new album. The thrush has an unusual song delivery,
with a touch of spiritual feeling and a distinctive style in her wide-
range vocalizing. On this album she is spotlighted on a collection
of songs thai range from "01' Man River" to '^now While Gown"
and "Friday the Thirteenth." Little doubt that this girl will gel a lot
of exposure via her distinctive stylings, and she is a young, new
talcni to be watched.

OPERA

VERDI: MACBETH

Soloists; MetropoUlan Opera Oreh. and Chorus— Leindorf (RCA
Victor LSC 6147 — Excellence characterizes this offering in every
respect. Principals Leonard Warren as Macbeth, Leonie Rvsanek as
Lady Macbeth and Jerome Hines as Banquo are ably abetted by the
other soloists. Leindorf achieves a wonderful rapport between the
featured artists, the chorus and the orchestra. Packaging is most
attractive, and both the front and back cover with costume photos
of Warren and Miss Rysanek are fine for display. It should prove
strong bait for opera devotees.

SR MI39. (Sterto A MoiuiD*l)--One of

choral efforts in tha pop field as with
ma&ses or other classical works. The depth
and breadth of this youthful group ii
vividly reproduced singing seven songs from
Rodgcit and Hammcrsiein shows, plus
numbers from "Desert Song," "New Moon"
and "Sliidenl Prince." Because many will

definite place for this album.

REVIEWS OF

THIS WEEK'S SINGLES

Th« pick of tfi* now ralMMs:

SPOTLIGHT WINNERS

OF THE WEEK

Strongest solos potonttol of oil records reviewed this week.

THE PLATTERS

WHAT DOES IT MATTER (A.M.C., ASCAP) — MY
SECRET (A.M.C., ASCAP)— The Platters serve up two
strong sides that should keep them in the hit groove.
"What Does It Matter" is a rockaballad that spots lead
Tony Williams, who gels a strong group assist. "My
Secret" is a gospelish l\ pe, and il's also strongly rendered.

Mercury 71538

JONI JAMES

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A f/)T (Evans, ASCAP)— I
LAUGHED AT LOVE (i eiil, ASCAP)— Miss James treats
"Little Things" to a sparkling, rockaballad revival. Her
smooth delivery could mean a hit. "1 Laughed at Love," a
fine oldie, is done with a Latin flavor, and this, too, has
strong potential. M-G-M 12849

THE CL'RLS

WHY DIDNT I GO (Morris, ASCAP) — IMAGIIVEZ
VOUS (.Morris, ASCAP) — The fern group has cute sounds
on both of these infectious sides. "Why Didn't I Go" is a
bright, bouncy tune about someone who is tr>'ing to make
her fella jealous. Flip, "Imaginez Vous" tells of two teens
spouting in high school French. Everest 19319

THE DIA.MONDS

BATMAN, WOLFMAN, FRANKENSTEIN OR
DRACULA (Sequence, BxMI)— WALKIN' THE STROLL
(Vivo, BMI)— "Batman ' is a cute novelty that tells of a
chick who cuddles in the movies only when there is a
horror film showing. The boys read it nicely over good ork
support. "Walkin' the Stroll" is a danccable blues item,
sung well in stroll tempo. Both can happen.

Mercury 71534

BOB McFADDEN

(SING ALONG WITH THE MU.M.VIY) SHAKE, RAT-
TLE & ROLL (Progressive, BMIh- BINGO (Northern,
ASCAP) — Bob McFadden. who scored recently with The
Mummy" has another funny side that can just as well in
"Shake, Rattle & RoU." It's done from the Mummy's point
of view, and mention of several ghoulish aspirations is
the theme. "Bingo" has an announcer calling out the
numbers to the well-known game, while the ork presents
a catchy, danccable cha cha. Ttie off-beat sides should
attract. Brunswick S5I5<

DYNAMITE (Kaltth, BMI) — TRAVELLIN" LIGHT
(Alamo, ASCAP) — The English chanter has two strong
bids. "Dynamite" is a racy rocker that he belts with
eriiuberance. "Travellin' Light." is a folkish song that it
leisurely paced. He handles both smartly.

ABC-Paramount 10066

WEBB PIERCE

NO LOVE HAVE I (Ccdarwood, BMI) — WHIRLPOOL
OF LOVE (CEDARWOOD, BMI)-<-Pierce has a potent
two-sider to follow his "1 Ain't Never." "No Love" is bright
spiritual sort that is done over snappy chorus backing.
"Whirlpool" is a ballad with beat that is also handled with
drive. Either can score. Decca 31021

EUGENE CHURCH

JACK OF ALL TRADES (Records, BMI)— WrTHOUT
SOUL (Recordo, BMI)— Church could follow "Miami""
with either of these gospel-tinged sides. Both are rhythmis
items that get strong vocals over spirited ork and chorus
support. Dual-market sides. Class 261

EDDIE COCHRAN

HALLELUJAH, I LOVE HER SO (Progressive, BMI)—
LITTLE ANGEL (Moonbeam, BMI) — Cochran bclu
"Hallelujah." the Great Ray Charles tune over a gospelish
arrangement that includes strings. It's a standout side, and
a likely winner. "Little Angel" is also on the spiritual
order, and it's also accorded a smart warble.

Liberty 55217

MARK DINNING

BYE NOW, BABY (Acuff-Rosc, BMI>— TEEN ANGEL
(Acuff-Rose, BMI)— Dinning has two powerful sides, and
either could step out. "Bye Now, Baby" has Hawaiian
overtones, and it's given a gentle reading. Flip, 'Teen
Angel" is folkish, and the vocal is just as salable.

M-G-M 12845

Christmas

JOHNNY HORTON

THEY SHINED UP RUDOLPH'S NOSE (Magic Circle,
BMI) — The bright, happy Christm<is tune is sung appeal-
lingly by Morton, as he tells about Rudolph, who has lo
do some ovcrhauline this vear. It can be a big, seasonal
item. Flip is "The Electrified Donkey" (Four Star, BMI).

Columbia 41522

THE BEVERLY SISTERS

THE LITTLE DONKEY (Chappell, ASCAP)— THE TOY
DRUM (WITH THIS DRUM) (KnoIIwood, ASCAP)— The

Beverlys have two charming Christmas sonp. "The Little
Donkey" is a sweet theme about the donkey who carried
Mary. It's given a lovely reading. Flip, 'The Toy Drum"
reminds a bit of the "Little Drummer Boy." Both should
attract play. London 1891

Country ft Western

JIMMIE SKINNER

MARRIED TO A FRIEND (Sklnncr & OleU, BMI)—
RIVERBOAT GAMBLER (Skinner, BMI) — Skinner ap-
pears lo have winners with these fine country sides.
"Married to a Friend" is an attractive weeper that he
renders with heart. "Riverboat Gambler," a honky-tonker
is also given a meaningful reading. Mercur>' 71539

Rhythm ft Blues

JIM.MV REED

BABY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO (Conrad, BMI)—
CARESS ME BABY (Conrad. BMI)— Reed has two down-
home blues sides that he delivers freely in classic, gut-
bucket fashion. His uninhibited and swampy approaches
should cop loot a-plenty. Vet-Jay 333

POP TALENT

ROD LAUREN

11 I HAD A GIRL (Slgman. ASCAP>— NO WONDER (Abcrbach
Canada, Ltd., ASCAP) — Lauren impresses as a strong, new talent
on two fine outings. He has a pleasant voice, and he handles the
materia! nicely. Both tunes are salable ballads. He could have big
ones with his first tries. RCA Victor 7645

DICK ZABE

WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT (Russ-Dale, BMI>—

Zabe comes off to strong effect on this rocker. It's done in fine style
over a good chorus and ork arrangement. With plugs the side could
create interest. Flip is "Sentimental No More," IRuss-Dale. BMI).

RECORD DEALERS:

A little knowledge goes
a long way, but a lot
goes much farther

One way to make regular customers out of
infrequent buyers; talk their language . . .
discuss their favorite artists with them . . .
give them "inside information"— real "trad***
stuff they can't get from anyone but you.
What'M happen? You'll find them coming bade
for more. And buying more records. And
helping you to make more money out of rec.
ords. Where to get this "inside trade inform^,
tion" about their favorite recording artists?

Lane Quotes

Coininued from page 3

payola rumored in "rhythm and
blues" tunes; a 1955 Cue Maga-
zine article cites a "Cadillac payola"
for a deejay. A 1956 Variety
story quotes a broadcaster on the
teniplation of deejays to sell free
records sent by manufacturers, with
consequent damage to play of
"good" music.

Strongly reniinisccnt of the
Smalhers hearings arc items on
New York deejay Martin Block's
1945 contract allegedly requiring
extra payments for song plugging
and for his music publishing firm.

Five pages of items are headed:
"Network Promotion of Records
and Artists of Their Own Recordine
Company Affiliates." The 1949
RCA proniotion of Mindy Carson
and Dennis Day, both Victor rec-
ord artists and network talent, is
cited, as during .Smalher's Bill
hearings. A 1954 trade item refers
to CBS - Columbia Records pro-
motion of I V ,ilay theme "Let Me
I Go Lover"; 1955 and 1957 items
also note similar CBS tie-in on kid-
die disk promotion, and the a.&r.
chief Mitch Millers push on "Song
for the Ninth Day."

Surprisingly, the flood of curfeni
Irade and daily press stories on
payola anions the deejays, and al-
leged music rigging on TV shows,,
receives little mention. Ironically,
a quote from August 31, 1959
Broadcast .Magazine payola piece,
selects an instance of a broadcaster
indignantly turning down a bribe
attempt by a record plugger.

"We attempted to take over the

"We thought his accounts would
continue to do business with him
if he switched to a new place. But
they did not." Distributors who
had supplied the I-iebcrman one-

dispute all unsold stock.

Deejay Gets Payola Threats

Continued from paite 3

It wnuld be unfair to name one or
two and victimize a couple of guys
for what is a much more wide-
spread practice. Everybody in the
industry knows payola is running
rampant. Pm not speaking only of
Chicago because it's no more prev-
alent here than elsewhere.**

Miller said if he thought he were
going to be subpoenaed, he would
tear up the affidavit he said he
owns. When he was reminded he
r ml(* still be asked under oath
what the affidavit said, Miller re-
plied:

"In that case, I'd have to answer
all questions to the best of my
ability."

The affidavit in question. Miller
told The Billboard, was given to
him about eight years ago by a man
on the distributor level ot the disk
business, who was about to quit the
trade. Before quitting, he told Mil-
let that he wanted someone to have
a record of his experiences in
record promotion. The affidavit.
Miller says, specifies payments al-
legedly made to a top Chicago dee-
jay and Miller said he inspected the
canceled checks. After Miller dis-
clo.sed the e.^istence of the affidavit
last week to Ihi, Chicago Tribune,
he said he was surprised at reports
that he had caused worry among
deejays all over town.

JO, Court Approval

The large take in TV back-
ground music for certain publishers
is known to have been under dis-
cussion as far back as June, in the
ASCAP - Justice negotiations. But
the mild limitations were not in-
corporated into the terms until Jus-
tice "suggested" that ASCAP
amend the weighting rules. The
new rule has been approved by
Justice and the Court, and will be-
come effective when and if Judge
Sylvester Ryan of New York Fed-
eral District Court, signs the con-
sent terms into decree.

The new rule does not affect
the eight feature performances per
quarter hour permitted in the pro-
posed formula, nor is there any
change for non-qualifying back-
ground music which is paid on a
durational basis.

In more detail, the background
music rule puts a ceiling ot four
full use - credits (each so - called
qualifying tune, gets one full use
credit, currently believed worth
about $70) per quarter hour on
background music perfoniiance. If
the nun;ber of tunes exceeds four,
"the use credit allotted to each such
work shall be reduced pro rata, so
that all such works performed as
background music on the entire
program shall receive an aggregate
of four use credits per each quar-
ter hour of programming.

The same rule applies to the
special category of background
music which has had a "singles"
release, plus some logging on
ASCAP local radio survey. How-
ever, this means little since music
in this category can only get one-
fifth of a credit for a single per-
formance. It would take 20 to total
four use-credits on a quarter-hour
segment.

Question has arisen about a pro-
gram of TV background music
which is part big tunes, and part
special category background music,
a> covered by the rule. It was
asked if the "big" tunes would get
full pay and the others divide the
reminder. Since the rule specifi-
cally states that it applies to both
quaUfying and special category
tunes, a pro rata reduction would
seem to bt in order for both types
of music

what I said," Miller commented,
"must be guilty of something."

Miller said he opposes Congres-
sional investigation of '>ayola.
Job for Stations

"Congress ought to devote its
time," Miller said, "to figuring out
how to catch the Russians in the
race to the moon. This is a job for
policing by station managements.
It would be easy. Management
knows that no legit company with a
legit record has to pay to make a
hit. So when a manager hears a
record being played time and again
ev^ tho it's going nowhere, he has
cause for suspicion. Then he ought
to look into his deejays' program-
ming methods. But if station man-
agements surrender their responsi-
bilities to the public, then the gov-
ernment has ever)' right to step in
and revoke licenses. The main
trouble with Congressional investi-
gations is that a few get named but
the whole group gets hurt. It would
be the same as all teen-agers suffer-
in'? today because of the delinquen-
cy of a few."

Miller then outlined the main
reiison he opposes payola on prin-
ciple. In 10 years, according to
Miller's statistics, the record indus-
try has grown from a 50-million-
dollar business to a half-billion-
dollar business. "It has become an
important part of our national
economy. We owe it to the country
and ourselves to keep building this
important part of the economy. If
bad records are exposed thru pay-
ola, it's at the cost of exposure to
another record that has a potential-
ly higher sale. In the end. the total
industry volume is going to get
hurt."

One noteworthy deejay reported-
ly read about the Lind and Miller
furors with keen interest, scratched
his head, and commented aloud:
"Well, there goes my Christmas."

SARASOTA, Fla. — It's now fairly sure that Ringling Bros,

is known in Europe. The second unit will have no effect on the
main show touring the United Stales. Ringling-Barnum manage-
ment has spotted more than a dozen buildings in Europe that
can accommodate the proposed indoor show.

Fair Dates
Pose Problem
For Mineola

NEW YORK— Mineola Fair will
be forced to switch from its cus-
tomary week next season due to
alloted periods for harness racing
which were handed down last
week. As a result the Mineola
event, held at the big Roosevelt
Raceway plant, will have to run
in July or October.

The fair was last held in 1958
but a late race meet this year de-
prived it of the entire spread of '
weeks ranging from August thru
November. The 1960 race dales
are March 21 thru May 21, plus
August 1 thru September 28.

A meeting was slated last week-
end to handle the problem. V. Al-
fred Valentine, fair association
president, said it has definitely
been decided to hold a fair rather
than keep it dormant for two con-
secutive years, but there was no
determination of whether it would
be held early or late. In 1958 the
dates were September 6-14, in
keeping with a post-Labor Day
week which has become the cus-
tom.

present testimony on behalf of California fairs when a legislative
committee meets here Monday (16), it was announced by
Stuart B. Waite, president of Western Fairs Association, which
will be holding its annual meeting.

The sessions, to be held in the State Capitol, by the joint

mutuel race tracks.

WFA meeting set for Wednesday (18). Election of officen for
WFA is set for the closing day.

yNFA, Solons to Meet
On California Legislation

SACRAMENTO, Calif.— The future of California fairs may be
decided here November 16-17. Al that time, delegate! lo the Western
Fftir Association's annual meeting will huddle \vilh members of the
KW joint legislative committee on fair allocalious and classifications.
Also attending will be officials of the State department of finance.

The legislative committee, beaded by Senator Edwin J. Regan, is
made up of seven senators and seven assemblymen. It is a permanent
group named to study and analyze fairs, make reeommeiidations and ;
icport to the Legislature.

Fain in California have operated for a number of years on a fi\cd ;
$65,000 amiiully. Next year, under tenm of new lefisfaitiofl, fain will .
icceivs only a total simi for which they can prove need but not to |
exceed $65,000. !

The bill also provides for an appropriation of S2.25O.000 a year
for capital improvements, and for classification of fairs into three
groups — regional, serving wide areas; sectional, serving a particular
community, and special feature, in which a single feature is emphasized,
nich as viticulture at the Lodi Grape & Wine Festival, or equine events
at One Santa Biibata Naiiaaal Horse Show. The classification will
determine future needs for financing and capital improvements.

On the first day of the meeting, reports will be made bv fair indus-
try experts on such topics as livesfock, junior jroups. the all-pay gate,
exhibits and concessions, exhibit design, interim uses, natural resources,
Iioine ihows, racing and payment of premiumt. The aecond day will
be devoted to reports from representatives of the State department of
finance on administration of the new bill.

Park Association Survey
Stresses Public Relations

PUBLIC RELATIONS and promotion topics reportedly dominate
the suggestions made by NAAPPB members in a recent survey of their
feeling about what the association is doing and what it ought to add
to its functions. The program of work committee met in Chicago
several days ago and Chairman Ed Schott said that they were pleased
to learn that there is no general dissatisfaction, that the NAAPPB won
many compliments, and that the membership in general seems pleased
with it. Schott termed the suggestions "enlightening and invaluable"
and said a complete report on contents of the returned questionnaires
will be made to the NAAPPB board of directors November 28 and to
the membership as a whole during the coming convention.

Old 'Arizona' Set Converted
To Tucson Theme Attraction

A DECEMBER OPENING is planned tor the Old Tucson cowboy
attraction outside Tucson, Ariz. Final details of the train ride were
worked out in New York between the management and National Amuse-
ment Device Corporation, which is providing a frontier-type train.
Old Tucson is a setting used in the filming of 69 films since being
built for the picture "Arizona."

Work has been going on to help the Western village bloom into »
major theme attraction. About 10 miles out of Tucson, it contained 63
buildings before businessman Robert .Shclton of Kansas City and his
associates started pouring redevelopment money into it during the sum-
mer. The Junior Chamber of Commerce had been operating it since
1946 but relinquished their lease in favor of the new promoters and
their ambitious plans.

It is on county land and the county requires that $1,000 be paid
for the first year's lease, $3,200 a >car for the next four and then 5
per cent of the gross revenue thereafter. Buildings are used as con-
cessions and rides include burro, mine train, vintage cars, and National's
train, for which a new frontier car has been designed. The locomotive,
its Union Pacific model, will be displayed at the NAAPPB trade show,
Bill de L'horbe reported. Delay in opening the attraction is due in part
to lease approval and a holdup in trackage because of the steel strike.
The locomotive is being named after Gen. George Crook, Southwest
Indian fighter credited with capturing Geronimo. Irwin Kirby

Anniversary
Publicity Set
At Sans Souci

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Sans
Souci Park has started a "60 in '60"
drum-beating campaign to whip up
interest in the park's observances
of its 60th season in 1960.

Edward J. Lee, president and
managing director, last week said
Sheldon C. Wintermuts, public re-
lations director, would "pull out
the plug" on the park's prepared
barrel of newspaper, radio and I'V
copy.

A five-year modernization pro-
gram will be completed in March.
A decision will be made at the
NAAPPB convention on whether
another new major ride will be
added. Two were installed last
season. Biggest job to be finished
before the 1960 opening is the new
look for the park swimming pool,
which was the first ever constructed
in an amusement park in this area.

Causeway Opened

CEDAR POINT, O. — Formal
ribbon-cutting ceremonies were
held last week (9) on the new
Causeway Drive connecting Ohio
Route 2 and U. S. 6 with the
causeway leading to Cedar Point.
Marvin O. Pratt, ex-offi;io mayor
of Sandusky, and George Roose,
president of the Cedar Point Re-
sort Company, headed the cere-
mony list.

The new concrete roadwav.
3,800 feet in length, required 123
working days to complete. The
road cost $240,000, with the citv
paying 5 per cent and the Cedar
Point Bridge Company footing the
bill for the remainder.

Mayor Pratt expressed the hope
that in the not too distant future

and had an attendance of from
3,500,000 to 4,000,000."

Attendance figures are estimated
because there is a free gate.

Knott said his son expects to
enter the business next year, mak-
ing the third generation to operate
Ihc farm. Knott also said there is
no foundation to a report the park
had been sold.

Break Ground
For Catskill
Track & Park

KINGSTON, N. V. — Ground
has been broken for a new clay
racing track and grandstand at
Olivebridge, about 10 miles west
of here. A .5,000-seat concrete-and-
ttood grandstand will be built, it
is reported, and track length will
be a half mile.

Property of 6.S acres will also be
used lor a scenic lake and amuse-
j mcnt rides, the entire operation tak-
ing advantage of permanent resi-
dents and those moving to the
nearby Catskill Mountains resort
areas. Opening of the stock car
! racing season will be held Memor-
ial Day, it is reported, following
which racing will be offered on
Sa' irdays.

Plans include various attractions
being used, plus outdoor films on
a collapsible screen in front of the
grandstand.

Officials are Raymond Davis,
president; Lawrence Shurter, vice-
president, and R. L. Lane, treas-
i urer. Thor Keogh of nearby Shoka
will handle publicity. Shurter is a
I veteran race driver.

the road could be lengthened to
connect with Ohio Route 13-U. S.
250 leading to the Ohio Turnpike
1 1 miles away. He sai i this ex-
tension would make it much easier
for Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania
ia residents to reach the resort
without having to contend with
city traffic.

Remodeling Nearly Done

Bj TO.M PARKINSON

REMODELING of the Municipal Auditorium at Atlanta is virtually
complete, reports iManager Harry Niebruegge, and the timing has
been rather tight. A survey confirmed the need for a new roof, new
wiring and lights and new ceiling. That was in mid-1958. The 1959
budget included money for this. In May the bids were opened. Work
was started July 27 with the stipulation that all but some of the lighting
be completed by October 2. The contractor made the time schedule;
the building was cleaned on October 1 and there was a turnaway
crowd lor a wrestling match on October 2. Work by the contractor
had included replacement of the old copper roof with one of a new-
type. The old ceiling tile was removed, a new contour established, and
a new ceiling of mineral wool applied with a spray gun. Niebruegge
sa>s the ceiling is two and a half inches thick and "acoustically as
near perfect as possible. The new lights are installed on a housa
dimmer that permits use of anything from dark to 100 foot-candles.
There arc special lights for flat-floor shows and wrestling. More lighting
work is still under way. Meanwhile the building is back in action with
such events as the Coca-Cola bottlers* convention. Southern Medical
Association. Ballet Russe, Gina Bachauer and plenty of other event*
yet this year.

As refurbishing of the Mayo Civic AudHorium, Rochester, MhaD.,

nears completion. Manager Cal Smith looks forward to a busy season
of events. .Among them will be the Lucerne Festival of Strings, tha
Vronsky and Babib piano duo, the Mala and Hari dance team.
Metropolitan Opera baritone George London, three concerts by the
Minneapolis Symphony, Ray McKinley with the Glen Miller orchestra.
"Mosl Happy Fella. " Liberace and his concert orchestra, Don Cossack
Chorus. Richard Leibert's organ recital, and events of such local
organizations as the Rochester Symphony Orchestra and Chorus,
Rochester Figure Skating Club and the Rochester Mustang Hockey
Association. Smith is making plans already for an eight-week summer
ice skating season starting in June.

Schedule of Miami Beach Convention Hall and Auditorium points
up the contrasting events that frequently are accommodated simul-
taneously in this and similarly large all-purpose facilities. Take the
period of January 22-31. The Ringling-Barnum circus will be in the
Convention Hall then and contrasting with it in the Auditorium will
be the Betle Davis-Ciary Merrill drama. "The Amazing World of Carl
Sandburg"; the Opera Guild's production of "l-a Gioconda." and tha
opening of "My Fair Lady." "My Fair Lady" contrasts not only with
Ringling but also with wrestling, boxing, the Harlem Globetrotters and
more. It all adds up lo plenty of action as well as contrast and variety.

Skate Tile May Be Leased;
Sound Panels in New Grid

AS THE IDEA OF LEASING becomes more prevalent in busi-
ness, and it ranges from autos to whole factories, one of the leading
leasmg firms is set up to rent Mitchell Rubberlock. ice blade resistant
surfacing material. M. M. Levitt, of Mitchell's sports and recreation
division, announces. He also is suggesting that in new construction ■
half-inch recession be made in the concrete floor where the rubber
flooring is to go. Then the flooring can be flush with the rest of the
surface. . . The Foster Junior High School Gymnasium at Seattle
has an unusual installation for acoustical control. Glass fiber insulation
blankets by Gustin-Bacon Manufacturing Company are used in long
strips One set is suspended just below the translucent roof panels
of the building. Another set, perpendicular to the first, is hung just
below it. This grid pattern is said to control the sound problem and
permit the natural light to come thru u weiL

Collins said the '59 season yielded
the show the best grosses since it
has been on the road. Fairs, which
started July 4 at Jamestown, N. D..

from 10 to 40 per cent ahead of
*58 on ride and show grosses.

In reviewing the season, Collins
pointed out that the show didn't
open until the second week in June,
playing several still dates before hit-
ting its fair season. A total of 18
major rides were carried, seven
kid devices and 10 back-end shows.

WFI' PLAYERS LOSE

Last Out, First In
Wrong '59 Choice

B) IRWIN KIRBY

NEW YORK — Indications are
that Eastern showdom may have
played iu last round of LOFI (Last
Out. First In) for a while. Weather
was an unwelcome participant in
this year's game, and as usual, it
was an opponent impossible to
outguess.

April openings go back thru the
generations on the theories that idle
equipment is idle earning power.

and a busy worker is a contented
one. In application most operators
consider that competent help can-
not be convinced to await a late
debut of the carnival season, when
there is employment to be obtained
elsewhere.

Carnival owners and conces-
sionaires who indulge in LOFI are
those unwilling to buck springtime
rain and mud. They wait until
May before venturing out on the
road. In extreme cases there are
delays until the very end of that
month. This works out just dandy
when their compatrioU who show
in April get drenched and bogged
down, but when the atmosphere is
warm and bright it becomes doubt-
ful who has the last laugh.

The rainy wind-up to 1959's sea-
son has produced a tribe of show-
men who will become more unset-
tled as the winter progresses. Their
attitude toward the business next
February, will be roughly anala-
gous to that of contemplating a
bank at 6 a.m.: A little bit early
perhaps, but maybe the door's un-
locked.

Mickey Stark
Reports Best
Season Yet

MOUNT STERLING, 111. —
Mickey Stark, owner-manager of
Cold Bond Shows, took a couple of
minutes off from supervising work
in winter quarters here last week to
reflect on the past season.

The '59 trek, the 14th for Gold
Bond, showed a slight increase over
the gross racked up in '58, which
was the best season until this year.

With the season over since the
week after Labor Day, Mickey
and Mrs. Stark have been busy
planning for next year. They have
placed an order for a new Scram-
bler which is scheduled for delivery
in May of 1960. This will mean a
total of 1 6 of f ice-OH ned rides. The
past season the fun zone also had
five shows and between 30 and 40
concessions. All equipment went
over the road on 26 tractors and
trucks.

Considerable work for next year
is already done as the Starks have a
five-man crew painting and repair-
ing. The Starks will attend the Chi-
cago meetings as well as State
meetings at Milwaukee and Spring-
field, 111. Following the conven-
tions, the two will fly in their own
airplane to Tampa for a vacation.
The plane is used on booking trips
and also to advertise and promote
fairs and celebrations played by
Gold Bond.

Included were the three Eastern
railroad shows, but date conflicts

Prell's, Amusements of America,
Marks. Thonras Joyland, Endy,
O. C. Buck, and Penn Premier.

This will be Prell's initial visit
at the fair, which was played last
season by the Ross Manning Shows.
Hutcherson said there is no drastic
change in the basic contract. In
addition to representing a respect-
able midway gross, Petersburg
serves as a convenient jump-breaker
for midways heading into Southern
territory. The 1960 dates will be
October. 3-8. the week after the
State Fair in Richmond.

was a rehash coming on the heels
of a week of inclemency during the

turned bitter cold. Equipment was
in storage soon after at winter
quarters here, where it will be
worked over prior to winter dates

ing the last phase of the season.

ter Its most successful string o(
Northern fairs. General results for
the season were good, at least as
good as 1958. A delegation will

"WE CLOSED . . .
the season October 31 for a much-
needed rest and returned to our
home in Sarasota, Fla., where
trucks and equipment are stored,"
writes Doc M. M. (Curly) Bartok,
of the Baidex Medicine Company.
"A rather hectic season took us
into Pennsylvania for a few spots,
namely Mount Carmel, Harrisburg,
Steetton and Philadelphia. It was
rather surprising to see so few
medicine men around. Years ago
when we were in the area thefp
were many of them making farm
sales. Our only contact with a med
man this time took place in Phila-
delphia, where Doc Palmer visited
the show on a couple of occasions.
While in Philly we drove to Atlan-
tic City several times and saw the
gadget workers and hair gimmick
and shampoo workers on the Board-
walk. The latter seemed to be do-
ing well. However, I did not get a
chance to speak to them. Med and
health food workers were conspic-
uous by their absence. Leaving
Philadelphia before the steel strike
had a chance to hurl us, we dropped
down into the Carolinas for some
good business. My son, David, did
a fine job on the candy pilch and
also was good in the public rela-
tions department in the towns in
which we showed. Carrying a roster
of 23 people and playing under a
60 by 160-foot tent, we offered a
movie and vaude show, a combina-
tion which worked out well. Mrs.
Betty Bartok handled the secre-
tary-treasurer's chores during the
season and took off prior to the
shiw's close to get the home and
wi Iter quarters into shape for our
return. Incidentally, the Jadex med
show, operated by Doc T. C.
Jacobs, my father-in-law, had a
good season in Georgia territory.
It's a great disappointment to see
so few pipes in the column. Let's
have a few notes from the Ragans.
Bnyce and a host of others who

Eppy Features
Las Vegas Mix,
All-Star Series

JAMAICA. N. Y. — Samuel
Eppy cSc Company, Inc., charm
producers, announced last week
the introduction of several new
charm lines, including:

1. The Grand All-Star Gimmick
Mi.\lurc — a mixture of the top
charms produced by the firm thru
the years.

2. The Las Vegas Mix, No. 2
& 3 — including charms resembling
playing cards, plastic money, dice.

3. Gimmick Scries No. .'57 —
called "copyrighted charms" be-
cause, according to Eppy, they arc
"works of art."

4. Variety Mix — a mixture of
over 400 different charms, pre-
dominantly gimmicks and propor-
tionately plated.

Plastic Processes
Adds Product Lines

FREEPORT, N. Y. — William
Falk, Plastic Processes. Inc., charm
manufacturer, last week announced
a building expansion program and
diversification of product lines.

Falk said the firm intends to
double its present building facili-
I ties, with the building permit .il-
I ready approved and the bids in. He
■ expects the new construction to be
j completed before year's end.

Plastic Processes' expansion pro-
gram has taken it into the magic
trick and joke field. "We have been
preaching to operators what we
have been practicing ourselves —
diversification," said Falk.

Charm Market Off
"W« no longer can depend on
charm volume to carry our oper-
ation and we have been quite for-
tunate in increasing our present
sales volume even tho our charm
market has dropped considerably."

St. Louis to Set Commissions
On Venders in City Buildings

ST. LOUIS — Comptroller John
H. Poelker has announced plans
to require all operators of vending
machine] in municipally owned
buildings to turn over commis-
sions from sales to the city's gen-
eral revenue fund. He told the
Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment that a study made by him
had shown 260 such machines had
been placed by 38 differ nt firms
in the various city-owned build-
ings.

(The machines referred to by
Poelker are those which vend bulk
products, candy, cigarettes, soft
drinks and other merchandise.)

The comptroller told the esti-
mate board that various commis-
sions were given to charitable

NEW JR. EXEC

KANSAS CITY. Mo.— Of-

Bitterman headquarters here
complain that they now have

A new junior executive, Stuart
Laurence Bitterman, has been
added to the scene. (He's the
bouncing baby boy born to
Alan M. Bitterman last Oc-
tober 14.)

groups by some operators and on
other machines which offered mer-
chandise at prices lower than those
outside the building, no commis-
sions were paid. The Board of Es-
timate and Apportionment consists
of Mayor Raymond R. Tucker,
Board of Aldermen President A.
J. Cervantes and Poelker.

Machines Convenient

A recommendation was made
by the comptroller that the vend-
ing machines be retained because
department heads said they found
them a convenience to employees
and visitors in the buildings. There
is a need, however, for a greater
degree of control over their oper-
ations, he asserted.

Poelker did not estimate the
amount of revenue expected in
commission because he is still
working on the survey. He said
the experience of the federal gov-
ernment in receiving commissions
from vending machines was quite
astonishing — they bring in quite a
bit of income.

Basically, his study is being con-
ducted to establish some norm by
which all operators can bring their
machines in municipally owned
buildings under the same condi-
tions. Another thing the survey will
(Coriliniied on pase 85)

The fimi will serve many of lh«
large major chains with joks and

trick racks.

Plastic Processes has also been
doing a substantial import busi-
ness in the "low end" toys from
Hong Kong and Japan and ar»
selling large toy jobbers and chain
operators these products.

New Charms Added

At the same time, however, Falk
says his firm has added a number
of new charm items and has been
diversifying its bulk vending struc-
ture.

Newly taken on is distribution
of a dime pen. Falk reports top re-
sults to date: "It appeals not only
to children but to practically all
age groups entering chains or su-
permarkets, makes racks mora
profitable all around.

"The pen item and the 25-cent
capsule have taken hold and in-
creased our volume considerably.

"We have also added a new
Series of 25-cent capsules Which I
am sure will act as a sales stimu-
lator."

The firm presently carries 50 25-
cent capsule items. The 25-cent
caspsule field has led the com-
pany into manufacturing of jewelry
as well as magic, tricks and joks
items. A catalog of tht novelty
items is available.

4 New Items

NEW YORK — Four imporUnt

NEW YORK — Foil Vending,
which from its Oceanside, Long
Island, headquarters has one of the
largest bulk vending operations in
the nation, has begun a major ex-
pansion move in Florida.

Roger Folz announced this week
that he has returned from a survey
trip in Southern Florida. He was
accompanied by Sal Aragona, Folz
shop foreman here.

The operation will begin with a
nucleus of 2S locations in Florida
Grand Union stores. Folz has ma-
chines in Grand Union stores all
over the East Coast.

Murray Reissman

Running the Florida operation
will be Murray Reissman of Hia-
leah. Harold Folz leaves this week

for two weeks in Florida to solicit
locations and set up the operation.
When Harold returns, Roger will
spend a month in Florida to super-
vise the operation.

While the operation w^itl begin in
Miami and Palm Beach, it is even-
tually expected to encompass the
entire State.

Folz reports that virtually all his
locations are battery installations.

I In addition to ball gum, charms and
confections, the firm is placing 10-
cent pen machines on location with

, fair results. Folz explains that
while the item is not a particularly
fast seller, it requires little extra
servicing and brings in revenue
that would otherwise have been
lost.

from the service. This was a skele-
ton route which covered man\ hun-
dreds of miles and ccnlcrcd in the
populous sections of Colorado and
Nebraska, plus part of Wyoming.
The McCathrens made the pur-
chase, convinced that the apparently
astronomical distances involved
would not faze them. (Grafrs mili-
tary buddy did not want the route
after all when released from serv-
; ice.)

j Since then the McCathrens have
cut down, rather than expanded
their routes, primarily in the in-
terests of doing away with tedious
days of driving and to increase the
concentration of machines in more
metropolitan areas. Almost all of
the outlying routes are made up of
penny machines, while there are
many 5-ccnt venders in the Den-
1 ver-Boulder-GoIden area.
I The McCathrens plan their scrv-
j ice trips so that each route is com-
; pletely covered on an average of
once every six weeks, amounting
; to an average of four long trips
j each month. The longest route runs

THE NORTHWESTERN |
CORP.

i Iflia 1. Arimtront Avi., Morrts, M(in«lt I

Wyo. Originally, there were routes
into Kansas and other sections ol
Wyoming which have since been
eliminated, simply because of the
long distances involved in com-
parison with the profit potential.

The McCathrens lead a com
fortable life, with a modern, new
contemporary home perched on a
hillside above Golden, where they
can look down on most of the
city. The job amoun.s lo around
three days of hard work per week,
the couple point out. giving plenty
of time for relaxation. Both of the
McCathrens, incidentally, work at
route operation on the road, roll-
ing pennies into lOO-unit rolls, al-
ways much favored by location
owners on the routes, and repair-
ing machines en route.

McCalhren is a strong believer
in e.xchange heads, carrying many
of them on each trip, along with
his fill, tools and parts. Using a
four-door sedan, the McCathrens
can make a 400-mile circuit in
"three long days or four short
ones," as Mrs. McCathren put it.
Traveling heavily loaded, the Colo-
rado couple begins each of the
junkets with from 500 to 600
pounds of gum, and almost as
much weight in parts, heads and
supplies.

Enjoyi Hb Work

An amiable man who has
learned the value of even tempera-
ment in long dealings in the earth-
moving industry, McCathren
thoroly enjoys his work and has no
intention of ever switching to any-
thing else. "You've got to have a
sense of humor in bulk vending."
he said. "In fact, it's got to be a
big one. I was setting up a nets'
machine location, for example, near
a brand-new school when two lit
tie boys walked up and informed
me that the school was closed. I
knew that the boys were playing
hookey and that the school was
closed only on that account
their eyes. I managed to talk them
both into going back to school."

With a special arrangement
which converts their family car into
a "sleeper," the McCathrens spend
a lot of time hunting and fishing
in the high Colorado mountains,
camping out along the way and
getting close to nature. Like many
other operators who have started
late in life. McCathren found
"there was a lot to learn about
the bulk vending business" from the
start, but now a familiar figure to
storeke pers, service station owners
and "^thcr location owners thruout
the big territory, he is generally
regarded as the dean of Denver
area bulk venders.

Always inseparable. Mr. and
Mrs. McCathren can switch jobs
wilh case. Each can carry out com-
plex repair operations on venders
and handle every aspect of clean-
i ing. polishing and filling. Mc-
Cathren handles most of the loca-
{ tion-building, how'ever. and con-
j fe.sses that it hasn't been a difficult
job. inasmuch as he has been cut-
ting (own on the route for the last
three years or more.

Don't Mind Tripti

Long distances seldom worry the
McCathrens. For example, they
frequently visit close relatives in
New Orleans. \300 miles away,
making the trip in two and a half
da>s. Recently while making the

The 4-Way model thus gives patrons three games in one, plus
the choice of easy or normal strike opponunities.

N. Y. P.-R. GROUP
TO MEET DEC. 19

NEW YORK— Members of
the Public Rehtions Commit-
tee of the New York State
Coin Machine Association will
hold a special meeting 7:30
p.m., Tuesday (19) at Room
1311, 250 W. 57th Street,
here. On the agenda wilt be a
report on plans for the Com-
mittee's first youth party, to
be held December 19, and a
report on participation with
the Cardinal Spellman's Serv-
icemen's Club.

Op Diversification Interest Strong

Continued from page I

The newly popular trend to teen-
age recreation centers as locations
for coin games — particularly for
ball bowling games — was checked
In by J 8 of 44 operators as a
likely new field for their current
or future expansion Such new
youth centers have been opening
at the rate of one per week In re-
cent months.

Difference in $$

While the new spots mentioned
above drew most of the attention
in the straw poll, 16 of the 44
operators indicated interest in run-
ning a modern Arcade catering to
family trade, and 16 showed in-
terest In an amusement park play-
land or amusement park Arcade
featuring coin games.

It should be considered here that
while bowling alley establishments

drew the most enthusiasm, such
spots are relatively more easy to
land than the others. Some of the
other type locations mentioned
generally require investment in
buildings and furnishings as well
as extensive investment in coin
equipment.

Write-in mentions of other
heavy-traffic game locations cur-
rently nailed down by one or more
of these 44 operators were pool
halls, clubrooms, recreation rooms,
drugstores, large motels and hotels,
and railroad stations. Pool halls,
surprisingly, led the write-ins.
Multi-Machine Trend

How far has this apparent swing
to diversification set in? Thirty-two
of 42 operators reported they had
more than two amusement games
spotted at locations ranging in num-

ber from one to 250. The average
number of locations with more
than two games held by each of
these 42 operators was 20 — a
fairly good number, c msidering
that the bulk of juke box and game
locations are at taverns and res-
taurants.

More impressive is the report by
36 out of 39 operators that each
had from one to 300 locations with
more than two machines of any
type (including juke boxes, games,
kiddie rides, vending machines and
background music units). The aver-
age number of "more than two
machines" spots per operator was
a hefty 33.

If our straw poll is representative
of the nation's operators as a
whole, the days of the coin ma-
chine specialist may be numbered.

Kiddie Ride

Pony Twins

CHICAGO — A new compact
twin horse ride. Pony Twins, was
shipped to distributors last week
by Bally Manufacturing Company.
The unit requires just 28 by 36
inches of floor space, yet can han-
dle two kiddies per run.
' Designed for young riders from
■ges two to eight, the two riders
. may be sealed side by side on the
twin ponies for a single dime.
. Riding lime is adjustable from
one-half niinmc to three minutes.

900 Attend Banquet
Of N. Y. Juke Box Ops

NEW YORK— More than 900
representatives of the coin ma-
chine industry and their guests
gathered at the grand ballroom of
the Hotel Commodore here Satur-
day evening (7) for the 22d Anni-
versary and Show of the Music
Operators of New York.

The organization held with tradi-
tion with a ban on speeches, with
the evening devoted entirely to
dining, wining and listening to top-
flight recording talent.

Surprise guests at the affair were
Eddie Fisher and his wife, Eliza-
beth Taylor. After the autograph
hounds were dispersed. Fisher en-

tertained the operators with two
selections.

Peter Palmer

A special attraction was the ap-
pearance of Peter Palmer, who
played the lead in both the Broad-
way show and Hollywood picture
of "Little Abntr." Palmer was
called back for two encores, as the
coinnien refused to let him leave
the stage.

Another big favorite with the
crowd was Tommy Edwards,
M-G-M recording artist, while
Homer and Jethro, RCA-Victor
artists, were real crowd pleasers.

Industry Maps P-R
Budget of $100,000

CHICAGO — Financing of the
public relations program was the
major concern at the meeting of
the executive board of the Informa-
tion Council of the Coin Machine
Industrj' in session here Thursday
(12). The budgeted goal is
$100,000.

Agreement was reached by the
group consisting of operators, dis-
tributors and manufacturers, that
"matching funds" from each group
was desirable. Tentatively, and with
exact planning to come, the group
based their financing program on
the basis of voluntary contribution
of one dollar from each group on
each machine sold. If successful,
this plan would ensure continued
funding of the program on an
equitable basis.

The manufacturers present
(AMI, Bally, Chicago Coin, Wil-
liams and United) all agreed to
"rnatch" funds on the basis of re-
ceipt of a matching dollar from
operators and distributors. Opera-
tor-members were confident th*
operators as a group wanted a
public relations program, and

would start the "matching-chain"

rolling.

Because legal aid and approval
must be sought before final presen-
tation of the plan. Chairman Lou
Casola, did not seek final action on
the plan. An agreement incorporat-
ing the details is to be drawn up
and "initialed" by participating
manufacturers.

The same manufacturen also
agreed to advance funds so that
operation of the public relations
group could begin almost immedi-
ately. Operator-Chairman Casola
volunteered to advance the same
sum as would be given by the
manufacturers.

With pledges of these sums in
hand, Casola was empowered to
notify the public relations firm se-
lected and to arrange a contract
with them, with an effective date of
Januarj' 1, 1960.

Work would probably begin be-
fore that date, however, with full
reports for all operators, distribu-
tors and manufacturen; methods
perfected for fund collection and
distribution.

Siflrto is "steing with your urs." As you htar music, lha bf«ifl
places each instrument in ttie position it was recorded. You hear
in breadth. Lett and right sides ol the orchestra are separated.
You hear stereo in depth, too. How is this done?

Patrons left ol center hear the left channel with too great intensity. At right,
just the reverse occurs. Failure to hear both channels equally can be irritating
How can the operator avoid this excessive separation' He placed the speakers
well apart to get location coverage as well as stereo effect.

One microphone picks up music from the hit side— and part
Ol the middle. Another microphone picks up music from the
rigttt side— and part of the middle. These two channels ol
sound art taped, lh«n transferred to records.

Both sides of the record groove are used, with each carrying
its own separate channel. A stereo cartridge feeds the first
Channel to an amplifier and the second channel to another
amplifier.

LET'S TAKE A STEREO
LOOK* AT STEREO

*A realistic appraisal with
both eyes from
several points of view

After 50 years— a half century ol
music service— AMI'S policy remairts
what it has always been: to give
operators equipment they need and
want— when they need and want it.
Never to force untried equipment
before its time. Yet, to be ready with
tested and proved equipment equal
to the opportunities of the times.

STEREO SEEMS TO PRESENT
SUCH OPPORTUNITY. IT CAN
MARK THE BEGINNING OF A
WHOLE NEW ERA OF MUSIC.

It Is clear that equipment of superior
engineering, design and, above all,
flexibility is required to serve the
operator's needs ... to return the
profit on his investment that he has
a right to expect.

Moreover, stereo equipment must:

1 . Meet the needs of the operator
NOW . . .

2. And meet the needs of the oper-
ator for years to come.

To understand the kind of equip- -
ment that wilt meet these needs, it
is helpful to understand the stereo-
phonic process from recording to
reproducing.

Music Irom the fifsl amplifier goes to the speaker enclosure on
the left, and from the second amplifier to another speaker en-
closure on the right. Adequate separation ot speakers is essen-
lial tor the stereo etfect. Yet, too much separation leaves a
"hole in the middle of the music."

To compensate tor itie "missing middle", somo will pilolht
speakers on. Four, six, eight, ten— strung all around the loca-
tion. This makes matters worse. "Cross-squawk", im-balanct
•I channtls and dtslorlion result

Then there's the other eilreme: tryini to tel adequata

separation by squeering both channels into the juka box
itself! This is like trying to compress a yardstick into a
loot rule: an acoustical impossibility, as any audio
enginear will tell you.

Stereo speaker enclosures must have wide angle disper-
sion horns to spread the sound of each channel over at
broad an area as possible.

To insure maximum coverage and separation ol chan-
nels with a minimum number of enclosures, a third chan-
nel should be employed in most locations.

This third channel, recommended by audio engineers, is
located in the AMI model "J" itself. II is essential tor
maximum stereo coverage of location areas. The AMI
third channel carries signals from both channels i\ and
12. fed through the Juke box at lower level. It has the
following distinct advantages:

1. Far greater flexibility in speaker
placement to rheet varying location
layouts;

2. Wider area coverage with fewer wall
or corner enclosures;

3. Lower cost of installation iri.line
with the location's potential taVce;

4. Significantly better sound.

Look to AMI for another half century,
of giving you the equipment you nee'3
when you need it . . . ■„•

"We now have one of West
Germany's main coin machine pro-
duction centers, and there can be
no doubt of its value to our econ-
omy," said Dr. Paul Hertz, West
Berlin's senator for economic af-
fairs.

Wlial Dr. Hertz means Is
(bis: Ever since the 1948
blocicade, the Communists
liave been seeking to strangle
West Berlin economically
without triggering World War

Sinc« Russia held Berlin in a
vise (by control of the city's com-
munications with the West), it
looked until recently like this free-
dom outpost might be doomed to
slow death from economic leu-
kemia.

learned to live like the Swiss:
To miniaturize production, to
export the skills of iti crafts-

electronics are to Berliners. Elec-
tronics have become West Berlin's

Wiegandt was a major exhibitor
at the Berlin industrial fair, as it is
indeed at trade fairs all over the
Continent. The firm has been the
bellwether of Berlin's coin indus-
try. Its story is the story of the
industry which mushroomed from
the old Reich capital's war rubble.

Founded In 1926, WIegandt
concentrated on vending ma-
chines before the war. In 1949
Wiegandt, still struggling to
recover from the war and the
blockade aftermath, employed
just 70 persons. Five years
j later employment had jumped
to 450 and today It is near
' 1,000.

Today Wiegandt is still a major
West European producer of vend-
ers, but it has branched out into
juke boxes and ^nmes. Wiegandt
marketed the first German stereo
juke, the 120-selection Diplomat
C, and has brought out a children's
juke box, the Bimbo, with 80 se-
lections.

In all, Wiegandt manufac-
tures 25 different models of
cohi-operaled equipment, pre-
dominantly venders, and ex-
ports 40 per cent of its total
output.

Beromat produces the Harmonie
200, a stereo juke, and the Har-
monie 120. Eltec has the F 100, a
wall box.

Wulff Aparaleban, whose
president, Cuenter Wulff, b
chairman of the Federation of
the German Coin Machine In-
dustry, is a major producer of
coin-operated gamblhig ma-
chines. The so-called "Clucck-
spiel - Automaten" are per-
mitted by German law undcf
strict regubdon.

Berlin is West Germany's larg-
est vender production center, all of
Berlin's coin firms turning out
venders and tlie majority specializ-
ing ii. this field.

Wiegandt, for example, has
just come out with a new
' fully automatic beer vender,
which, it is claimed, will help
check the Inroads being made
into the German l>cer trade by
competition from vender-dis-
pensed American soft drinks.

/.II of the Berlin vender pro-
ducers are cashing in on the in-
plant feeding boom whic'i has just
reached Germany. Altho West
Germany still lags far behind the
U. S. in automatic food service,
German producers believe this
country will quickly catch up to
and surpass American industry.
This could be, but at pres-
ent West Berlin is chiefly
grateful that the city's live-like-
Ihe-Swiss" campaign is ending

full employment for five years,
West Berlin, until 1958. had con-
tinued to count unemployment as
its gravest problem. The magnitude
of the jobless problem can be
gleaned from the 1948 blockade
figure of 400,000 jobless of West
Berlin's total population of 2,200,-
000.

Free Berlin faced slow eco-
nomic strangulation by its huge
burden of unemployed.

In assessing its jobless crisis,
West Berlin discerned a striking
parallel between its own plight and
that of the plucky, prosperous
Swiss — abundant skills but a short-
age of raw materials.

So West Berlin set about
applyfaig the Swiss economic
formulai Precision work on

mininram raw matcrfaib. Wilk

the Communists harassing
West Berlin's economy by a
creephig btockade, it was dif-
ficult for the citr to Import
unlimited raw materials and
export heavy bidustrial prod-
ucts.

Imports had to be held short
and exports had to be of high
value in relation to bulk. West
Berlin's industrial production, in
essence, had to be geared to air
freight instead of surface trans-
port.

This goal the coin machins
producen substantially have
achieved. Tbey ship virtually
their entire output to West
Germany and a good part of
it (as in the case of Wiegandt
around 40 per cent) on to
foreign countries.

Nobody in the city's flourishing
coin machine industry displays pes-
simism concerning the city's future.
Plant expansion is the rule.

When West Berlin coinmen dis-
cuss Communist countries, it is in
terms of potential markets.

United Joins Push for British
Phono Sales; Names Distrib

CHICAGO— United Music Cor-
poration will market i' phono-
graph line in Great Britain thru a
newly named British distributor.

The announcement by United
makes it a five-way American drive
for juke box sales in the British
Isles. AMI, Seeburg. Rock-Ola and
Wurlitzer are already established
in England.

United appointed Music Systems,
Ltd., of Bury, St. Edmonds, a|
phonograph and game operating I
organization of some size and.
standing, as its sole distributor fori
the United Kingdom. Shipments i
from the U. S. are expcc(ed to get
underway shortly.

The firm is owned by James
Sanderson, a chartered accountant,;

who also controls a number of line-
purchasing companies. He is in
process of appointing sub-distribu-
tors thruout the United Kingdom.
Among them will be the old es-
tablished London firm of Kraft
Automatics, Ltd.

Rooni for All

Reaction of the British operat-
ing trade appears U be that there is
room for all five American-styled
machines in the land. British dis-
tributors feel that their fast-grow-
ing market for juke boxes is far
from satisfied. New locations as
well as replacement spots are still
10 be had.

The competition for a prim*
position on the British market was

DOWN MIAMI WAY: Sol Tabb, MiM Strvice, complaining
bitterly about the lack of stereo singles for the new juke boxes he has
been setting out. TTiis is a complaint thai is being voiced constantly
by every operator in the area, who is «ondering when the record
fii^ms will wake up to the amount of business they are losing. Sol is
mighty proud of his son, Peler, an engineering student at University
of Miami. Pete is keeping up high grades and at the same time
helping his dad service the juke boxes in South Dade Coimly. Pele
reports that the most popular recording artist at the university is
Nina Simonc.

Bush Distributing Company suffered probably the most stupid
robbery in history. Thieves broke into the premises via the roof and
must have spent many hours breaking into the juke boxes and coin
machine equipment that was on display, even iho the keys were
hanging near each machine s cash box. . . . Police figure the thieves
lost on the deal, because they left behind a saw and brace and bit.

Morris DiamoBd, Diamond Amusement Company, was oper-

I.ONtXJN— All types of coin-
operated equipment can now be
freely imported into the United
Kingdom from America and all
other parts of the world, with the
exception of Japan, China, and the
Soviet bloc.

This means that in the past year
Britain has gradually cut aw ay con-
trols that have been rigid for 20
years, and has opened up the
United Kingdom as potentially
America's greatest export market in
I coin machines.

I Previously, altho juke boxes and

BOSTON— The Commonwealth
Music Corporation, controlled by
three veterans of the local music
industry, has taken over the dis-
tributorship of Rock-Ota phono-
graphs in the New England area
and 's now in the process of setting
up a showing to be held at a Bos-
ton hotel later this month.

President of the recently formed
corporation is Phil Swartz, of Win-
rox Vending Company, Brookline;
, vice-prcsiden' is David J. Baker,
of Melo-Tone Vending Companv,
jlnc, Arlington, and treasurer is
Sid VVolbarst, of New England
Music Corporation, Newton.
I Appointed sales tnanager is
I Richard Mandell, formerly gen-
; eral manager of Associated Amuse-
ments. He is now in the process of
.locating business premises some-
where in the central -Boston area
which will be the firm's headquar-
ten.

"We intend to go ahead and do
a real job of selling the Rock -Ola
machine in the territory," Baiter
said. He explained that the firm
felt the phonograph had tremen-
dous potential and marked interest
was being showi by many oper-
ators.

■'A year has been spent in ex-
perimen: and surviys with the ma-
chine," Baker said, "and we have
found it to be excellent. It is our
plan to sell it at the lowest possible
cost consistent with a reasonable
return."

certain liniiled amounts. Parking ; operators. It will mean gloves off

Customs tariffs, including com-
monwealth preference, of course,'
remain in force, as does purchase

.^s well as offering tremendous
opportunities for American export-

coin industry in Britain. It will
mean a reappraisal by firms in-

in the fast growing amusement

Kingdom — a business that should
now grow even faster than juke
boxes.

can be built for less than $500, said L. A. Cordovez, Wurlitzer distributor In Ecuador, while
phonographs cost about $3,000 delivered. Profitable to the establishment, the |uke boxes will

Union boss, John J. O'Rourke,
along with 14 others accused of
extortion in the New York-Long

Judge James L. Dowscy here, Mon-
day (9).

According to New&day, daily

fense attorney, Jacques Schiffer, of
Rockville Centre, added in court. 1
"there will be other motions, too."

Still to be decided by Dowsey is

On-Location Background Music Hot
Sales Item for Philly Distributor

By GEORGE METZGER
PHILADELPHIA— "The back-
ground music business here is just
sizzling."

That is the opinion of the man
who should know — Nat Solo, a
partner in the Eastern Music Sys-
tem, Seeburg distributor in this
area.

"When Seeburg brought out its
background system a couple of
months ago it caught on real well,"
Solo said. "But then all of a sud-
den, about a month ago, things
realiv started to pop.

business than we can handle," he
said. "We cannot get enough ma- 1
chines to fill our orders. Every j
day the mail brings several in- ;
quiries into our background music
system thru national advertising."

The Seeburg company has
bought space in many publications
that are aimed at busines.ses which
are ripe for background music.
They print a coupon to be returned.
When it is, Seeburg forwards the
"lead" to the distributor in that
area.

"They've really kept me step-
ping," said Myles Horwitz, East-
ern's sales manager. "People are
seeing the advantages of our back-
ground music over the kind that is
piped in."

Selectivit)' Edge

When asked what the advantages
are. both Solo and Horwitz fired
back the same, one-word reply:
"Selectivit)'."

"With the wired music," Solo
explained, "the location must take
what the company sends out over
the wire. But with our system,
they can have their pick of three

Social note of the evening was
the announcement of the engage-
mem of Harry Apostolcris, Alpha
Distributors' most eligible bachelor,
to Lee Rupe. Apostoleris brought
his charming fiancee to the affair.

Missing from this year's banquet
— for the first time in many years
— were Tommy Greco, president of
the New York State Coin Machine
Association, and Barney Sugarman,
head of Runyon Sales. Greco was
suddenly struck ill and is now in the
hospital. Sugarman had a commit-
ment which made it impossible for
him to attend.

different libraries — basic, mood
and industrial."

"Right," said Horwitz. "And in
addition to this, one fifth of the rec-
ords are changed every thre*
months."

Pick Ih* Libnriei

Both men pointed out that the
Seeburg machine contains 1,000
different tunes. The type of song
depends on which of the three
libraries they pick.

"The records used for back-
ground music are never played be-
fore and when they are taken off
the machine they are destroyed,"
Horwitz said. •

Another feature of the Seeburg
system over the wires is just about
this time. mid-November, when
Christmas carols are introduced.

Onuer Decides

"The location owner can decide
if he wants carols played every
tenth or fifth record or wherever
he wants," said the sales manager.
"With the wires, you've got to lake
what they transmit."

How does the Seeburg method
compare with the wire services in
price?

"Ours is cheaper." Horwitz said.
Disbince Factor

"Once the wire systems get over
a quarter mile away from lis
studio." Solo interjected, "the tele-
phone wire rates (which they use)
rise tremendously."

"We are very competitive as far
as price is concerned," his sales
chief stated.

How about sound quality?

Sounds Good

"It only stands to reason if the
machine is right on the location
with the speaker wires jacked right
in, the sound is going to be much
better than that which has to travel
over telephone wires," Horwitz
said.

It is the telephone wire factor
that is making the "on location"
system preferred in the outer edges
of the city. In fact. Eastern has
some of its biggest installations in

suburban branches of downtown,
department stores.

"We have our system in two
John Wanamaker (department)
stores and a Sears, Roebuck to
name a few," Solo said. 'The ones
in the two Wanamaker stores hav*
over \00 speakers."

On Lease

Almost all of the Eastern systems
arc out on a lease basis, allho they
do sell some of the equipment.

"We have a month-lo-month
setup, a one-year deal or a three-
year one," Horwitz explained. "But
most people seem to be going for
the three-year one because of the
discount they get for the long-range
contract. It is a case of going for
it all the way.

"We do have some sub-distrib-
utors working for us." he went on,
"since it is simply too big a job for
one firm."

New Patrons

Solo said that many places who
never had music before are going
for the new "location" system since
it answers many of the faults they
found with the wire setups.

"But it is pretty tough to dis-
lodge the wire plan from many
places tKcause the owner is re-
luctant to change. The other is
there."

One way Eastern has of swaying
the customer over is to give him a
week's free trial demonstration.

On-Spo< Demo

"We could play it for him all
day long in our office," Solo said,
"but the location man wants to hear
how it sounds in his place.

"We have to limit the number
of demonstrations, however," ha
said, "dlie to the lack of machines."

After talking to the ambitious
young men at Eastern and taking a
look around the city, there is no
question but that the "on location"
system of background music is iha
thing of the future.

As Nat Solo puts it:

"Business is sizzling and still get-
ting better."

travels the Mid-South territory selling cigarette and coffee vending
machines. Sammons travels the same territory, handling sales of
juke boxes and games. Robert Goad handles game sales in Memphis.

Libio Barsoiti, partner in O. J. Barsotti & Company, large
operation of cigarette vending, also attended, as did bis route man-
ager, William Baker. They were primarily interested in the big.
gleaming new cigarette vendors, and plenty were on hand.

Charles Pugh, however, who took his wife along, was interested
in the new food vending machines. He's partner in and manager of
Quality Vending Service, which handles food, candy, gum, etc.

Coe Stone, of Memphis, was also there. He was formerly partner

'60 Pool Units

BAY CITY. Mich.— Harl Fed-
dick, Valley Manufacturing Com-
pany president, announced last
week his firm has launched pro-
duction on seven new 1960 model
pool games.

! The new-year line-up includes:
Two bumper pool tables with
Formica top rails and regulation
live-rubber billiard rails, in blond
or mahogany.

Five six-pocket models with pol-
ished cast aluminum corners and
pockets.

•We've never built a better line
of pool tables." said Feddick.
"Twelve improvements arc being
made in each model of our line."
Feddick said the new models were
location-tested for six weeks.

Kaye Shipping
Cue Ball Pool

BROOKLYN — Irving Kaye
Company here has begun deliveries
of Ciie Ball, a novelty pool game.
The cue ball version of miniature
pool was popular many years ago,
and Kaye feels the time is ripe for
a comeback of this type game.

Irving Kaye, president of the
firm, says he has tested his new
game for a period of months with
good results. He says the new
model is ideal for stimulation of
play where other type of coin pool
games may have fallen off in re-
ceipts.

■The new Kaye model is dual pur-
pose. A special slate top is avail-
able at $79,9.*! which can be sub-
stituted for the regular slate top,
converting the table to a bumper-
type game.

Cue Ball dimensions are 75
by 42 inches. Features include
a fluorescent light reflector, a large
signal light; five-and-one-quarter-
ounce, Iwo-and-onc-eighth-inch
phenolic resin balls; recessed score
markers, brightly colored hole
liners, lop grade cloth. Formica top
rails, complete cue stick repair kit,
brush and four two-piece cue sticks.

WASHINGTON — Nearby
Prince Cieorges County (Md.) po-
lice raided four taverns last week
(10) and seized four remote con-
trol pinball machines. Stale's Attor-
ney William L. Kahler, who
ordered the raid, said the action
will force the county to decide
whether a two-year-old State ban
against pinball payoffs will apply to
remote control machines as well as
to coin-operated devices. Under
Maryland law. a coin-operated pin-
ball machine is considered a gam-
ing device if a $2.'>0 stamp is pur-
chased for it. Machines seized in
the raid were covered by the
stamps.

JUKE PLAYS HAPPY TUNE
FOR RUB-A-DUB PATRONS

SPRINGFIELD, Fla.— A 1 00-selection Seeburg pbono-
graph in the Clothesline Cleaners plant here is Duncan Music
Company's most unusual location.

The di7 cleaning plant has a full-siz* automatic washateria
built in a small adjoining building to the left, and here keeps
20 coin-operated washing machines and five dryers in almost
continuous use.

The washateria and cleaning plant is locate^ only a mile
or so from a huge Air Force base with more than 30,000
people stationed within its confines. This means a big need
for fast service on rough-dry, so the washateria is kept open

24 hours a day for housewives and military personnel who in-
vest quarters in machine operation.

No News

Instead of leaving magazines and newspapers for his
customers to read, such as is usually the case, the owner
talked to P. E. Corley, of Duncan Music Company, regarding
■ phonograph installation.

Even tho at first glance a busy washateria with rather
limited space would seem too noisy for a phonograph in-
stallation, this particular application has worked out well,
since the machines are of a subdued-noise type. Consequently,
even when all machines are running, the juke box, set at a
slightly higher output level than usual, can be clearly heard.

Customers loved the idea from the beginning, according
to Corley. Most of them are young housewives, married to
servicemen on the base, as well as citizens of nearby Parker,
Sprinfield, and Millville.

Corley, who changes records once a week at the spot,
programs all of the top 40, plus many rock 'n' roll numbers,
novelties and old f.ivorites, and finds plenty of play in each
catcory.

Leave Notes

Just how well the washateria customers appreciate the
service can be seen from the fact that many notes have been
left on the phonograph asking for a particular selection. Corley
always honors these, even when the selection involved is hard
to find.

It isn't unusual for a housewife who has come in to spend

25 cents for the automatic washer, 25 cents for gas dryer serv-
ice, and drop 50 cents or more in the phonograph to keep her-
self entertained with music "while the washing machine does
the work," as Corley put it.

Duncan Music Company has used this unusual installation
to sign up other washateria owners in the area on the basis
of the profit potential, and has even persuaded some of them
to rcorcani/e their space to make room for a new phonograph.

"V\ siting the 20 to 25 minutes normally required to put
a wa>h thru is a boring experience for most customers," it was
pointed out. "The juke box provides the perfect answer."

Memphis Ops Itemize
Burglar Losses: $27,170

By ELTON WHISENHUNT

MEMPHIS — A committee of
the Memphis Music Association
met with Police Commissioner
Claude A. Armour last week to
ask help from police in catching
burglars who have commitlcd in-
creasingly more and more break-
ins of coin machines in the past
year.

Commissioner Armour at first
expressed amazement at the figures
break-ins showing money and
merchandise losses and cost of re-
pairs to machines and promised
special help beginning January !.

The committee, meeting in Ar-
mour's office, handed the com-
missioner typed figures on break-
ins and taxes the operators pay.
Firms Represented

The committee compiled figures ^iHe. Ind

niour has hopes of cventualiy cs-
Lihlishing a boy's training school
«here we can rehabilitate boys
caught committing crimes of (his
nuture.

"I hope it can be done. I believe
a citi7en's group should work with
him to get it built. It would be a
very good thing for the commu-
nity.

"He brought out that now he is
short ot manpower and facilities,
the problem is general, he said.
For example, he cited us figures
to show that the burglaries in other
cities are as high or higher than
in Memphis. Memphis had some
2,800 last year.

"These cities have as many or
more: Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth,
Nashville; Columbus, O.; Hvans-

from the following companies:

Canale National Tobacco Dis-
tributors, [nc; Canale Amusement
Company, Service Amusement
Company, all operated by Drew
J. Canale; S & M Distributing
Company, music and games; O. J.
Barsotti Company, cigarette ven-
dors; Bluff City Cigarette Com-
pany, cigarette vendors; Southern
Amusement Company, music and
games.

Chairman of the committee was
Canale. Members were Parker
Henderson, president of Memphis
Music Association and general
manager of Southern Amusement
Company: Alan Dixon, general
manager of S & M Sales Company,
and Libio Baniotti, partner in O.
J. Barsotti Conipany.

Ilems Listed

Canale. spokesman for the group,
presented Armour typed pages
showing the following losses of the
companies named above:

Money and merchandise losses
from October 1, 1958, to October
1, 19.';9: $15,801.

Cost to repair damage to bur-
glarized inachines: $11,369.

Grand total; $27,170.

Total city, county and Slate
privilege license taxes paid bj the
companies named: $44,849.
Cig Tai Big

Total city, county and State
taxes paid on cigarettes: $457,649
This figure does not include fed-
eral cigarette tax. which is great
The committee said it wanted to
show only the large taxes paid to
local governments.

Canale estimated that the com
panics surveyed have approximate-
l> one half the phonographs, games
and cigarette vending machines on 1
location in Shelby County. The !
companies surveyed for losses com- 1
prise about one fifth of the total |
companies in Shelby County, he
said, but are among the largest.

Canale said Armour was very
co-operative and said beginninj:
January I he would delegate ii
squad of officers to work the cit>
to try to apprehend some of these
criminals.

Appreliension Planned

"He is going to explore some
means by which to catch them,
such as still watches or an alarm
system. He has 30 men now in
school training as policemen.

"When he gets this group, he
will be able to have a squad In
work with us. Attention will be
given to restaurants, sundry stores,
service stations, small businesses
in general where our machines arc-
on location.

"We will work with him ami
giic him support. We will see what
we can do about having window
guards installed and otherwise
make the locations more burglar
proof.

Boys Need Help

"We mentioned the juvenile •
problem. A lot of the break-ins arc '
committed by teen-age boyi. Ai-|

Canale concluded that the meet-
ing was a profitable one and would
result in much good.

closely by the coin machine indus-
try. Seeburg's more recent moves
in the cigarette vending and back-

ACTING FISHY

MONTPELIER, Vt. — The
Vermont State Fish and Game
Service believes it has pro-
vided an answer to tho.se per-
sons who persist in feeding
the fishes at trout hatcheries
in Roxbury and Bennington.
The service reports that pea-
nut vending machines have
been installed a' the hatcher-
ies. Only the machines dis-
pense pellets of fish food,
rather than goobers. The serv-
ice, moreover, believes that
this may stop visitors from
throwing pebbles, bread
crumbs and other assorted
items into the pools, hamper-
ing trout growth.

Detroit Music
Ops Testing
Dime Play Bid

^ DETROIT — A well-planned
move to improve business for mu-
sic men by bringing conditions
here into line with most of the
country is being organized by the
Music Operators, Inc. "We are
trying to sell the city on dime
play," says Marvin Blank, vice-
president, who runs J. G.. Music
Company. "This is the only major
city in the country, I believe, still
on nickel play."

■The plan is to introduce the
switchover into one section of the
city at a time. Picked as the pilot
area is the northwestern part of
Detroit, bounded by Schacfer,
Fenkell, Southfield and Eight Mile
roads.

i The procedure is to ask all op-
! erators in this area to try out the
j change to dime play. Literature on
the advantages of the change is be-
ing sent to burs and other locations
j in this section, involving about
j three square miles of city locations.

"We want to show them that
dime play will work," Blank says.
"We have surveyed the area, we
have contacted most stops, and
most are willinf! to try it."

Western Massachusetts and Connecticut terri-
tories, he has plans in mind.

The industry was saddened by news of the

president of Associated Amusements, who is con-
fined 10 the hospital with a heart ailment. . . .
David J. Baker, of Melo-Tone Vending Company,
Inc., Arlington, has returned from a six-week
tour of Europe. Dave says stories about Ameri-
cans being able to do a big used machine export,
business in England are vastly exaggerated.
Seems the British can buy new equipment for
the same price that ir would cost for used pieces
from the U. S. when freight and taxes are
added in.

Stanley Joralewicz, Nfclo-Tone's bookkeeper,
has installed a large swimming pool for his wife

has been appointed Rock-Ola distributors for up-Slate New York.
The brothers, Tom, Frank and Joe, arc busy getting set for their
showing of the 1960 Rock-Ola line this week. Tom had a rough trip
home from the ASCAP-MOA meetings in Chicago. He was seized
with violent pains Friday morning (6) and barely made it to the
plane. The following day he was rushed to Kingston (N. Y.) Bene-
dictine Hospital, where he passed a kidney stone. But he's back
on the job now, with no apparent ill effects.

Recent visitors to 10th Avenue were MHlie McCarthy, Hurley-
ville. N. Y.; Ben Golden and Ray Gilladean, both of Monlicello,
N. Y., and Mike Mulqueen, Walden, N. Y.

Gabe Forman, export manager for Sandy Moore, reports that
export sales have risci, sharply recently. . . . Nash Gordon, with the
assistance of Delores and Sophie at the Music Operators of New
York office, has been drawing a lot of compliments for the job he
did handling the recent MONY banquet.

Three operators of the fair sex were recent 10th Avenue visitors.
They were Mrs. Kitty Budinoff, Port Chester, Mis. Gertrude Browne,
Beacon, and Mrs. Anne Koenig, Kingston. . . . Others recently seen
on the Avenue were Tony De Risto, Inwood, and Lou and Howard
Herman, the father-and-son operating team from Mount Vernon.

Morton Zamore, Kingsboro Music, missed the recent MONY
dinner as his son was being bar-mitzvahed the same evening.

OUT MINNESOTA WAYi Amos Hellkher, of Advance Music
Company, Minneapolis, is a stockholder and member of the board
of directors of the new Hotel Tel Aviv in Tel Aviv, Israel, which
is being financed in part by about 100 Minneapolis businessmen. He
says that priorities are being worked out to assure all stoclcholders
reservations there during visits in Israel. The hotel, which the
^eraton organization may operate, will double the number of first-
class hotel rooms in Tel Aviv, according to Heilicher.

Automatic Games Supply Company, St. Paul, is the new distrib-
utor in the Twin Cities for Chicago Dynamic Industries, according
to Romeo Crosby, general manager of Automatic Games. . . . Lee
Johnson, assistant to the president of Canteen Company of Minne-
sou, Minneapolis, spent his vacation hunting in the notlhwoods of
Minnesota. . . . Fred Dahlfai, St. Paul operator, was in South DakoU
a couple times hunting. . . . Frank Davidson, operator in Spooner,
Wis., stopped in the Twin Cities on his return from a South Dakota
hunting trip.

In Chicago for the NAMA show were these folks from Minne-
apolis: Harold Lieberman, Licberman Music Company; Irving Sand-
ler, Sandler Distributing Company, and Frank
r . Hall, Acme Box Lunch. Earl Hausauer, East

' Grand Forks, Minno., operator, and his wife

Distributors say that there is very little
action at the moment in new equipment. Most
of the action now, they say, is in buying, re-
IRVING conditioning and selling used machines. . . .

SANDLER Friti Eichinger, of Northern Coin Machine

Company, St. Paul, is adding 30 units to his
apartment project on Snelling Avenue.

A meeting of the Ramsey County Amusement Operators'
Association was slated for Wednesday (11) at Esslinger's Cafe, St.
Paul, to discuss matters relating to coin machines, percentages and
legal problems. The meeting was called by Jack N. Karter, secre-
tary-treasurer of the association. Karter, incidentally, sold the duplex
where he had been living and moved into a new home on Bohland
Avenue in SL Paul. He heads Midwest Novelty Company, St. Paul.

\nLWAUKEE MENTIONS: Joe Beck, head of Mitchell
Novelty Company, is recuperating from the heart attack he suffered
several months ago. He does most of his work at home now, but is
well enough to spend a few hours now and then at the office. Last
week he felt strong enough to visit the NAMA show in Chicago
with his brother, Erv, Mitchell Novelty's office manager, and Sales
Manager Dan Maltys,

According to Jerome (Red) Jacomet, Red's Novelty Company,
"There wasn't anything new at the NAMA show but coffee
machines. 1 never saw so many in one place before," . . . Music
op Berl Liesch reports that he recently completed liis first stereo
installation. Results have been good, he adds, with the takes taking
an immediate climb. One-third of the receipts have been half dollars,
dollars.

Morrie Fuhrman, General Novelty Company, reports that he
is edging into a diversification program. He recently added a few
cigarette vending machines to his routes. The ciggic installations,
he says, were at the request of the locations. Fuhrman also adds
that route receipts have been faltering in the past month due to
steel strike effects.

P. & P. Distribiuing Company has just completed a remodeling
job on its record storage room, says partner Joe PelUgrinL Shelving
in the room had been originally built to house 78 r.p.m. disks. The
new arrangement provides for entirely new banks of shelving scaled
down to fit 45 r.p.m. 's. "Now we can store twice as many records
in this room," says Pelligrini.

DETROIT NOTES: Samuel Roy Hutchinson, of Hutchinson
Vending, one of the city's leading bulk vending operators, is back
from a week's trip to Chicago. . . . Cari Hill, veteran head of Hili
Vending Service, is concentrating his attention on his cigarette and

45 R.P.M. Disk Vender
Unveiled at Novy Pier

CHTCAGO— The familiar juke
box industry theme of "the music
you want when you want it" may
take on a new twist with the intro-
duction at the NAMA Convention
here last week of a new 45 r.p.m,
disk vending machine. The new
twist: "Buy the music you want
uhcn you want it."

The new vending machine dis-
penses patron-selected 45 r.p.m.

listed it $798. It occupies li'.i
by 17 inches of floor space, and
holds 12 copies each of the 20 top
tunes — a total of 240 records in
all. It stands 72 inches high and
weighs 300 pounds.

The unit operates on any
combination of nickels, dimes and
quarters and can be set to vend
for from 50 cents to Si. 30 per
disk.

According to the firm, the
machine has been successfully
tested at 25 locations in the Boston
area.

The unit is expected to be sold
across the country within two
months. Distributorships are now
being named.
