1945 MUSICMinn. AlmostAll Out forWartime SkedGov. Washes Hands of Feud

MINNEAPOLIS, July 7.-Altho at least160 communities, both urban and rural,In Minnesota are going to stick to war-time skeds when the State "changes over"to Standard Time tomorrow, GovernorEd Thye, who signed the peacetime ekedreturned into law, said lie will take noother official action on the conflict.Those who want Standard Time can haveit, and those who prefer War Time canhave it, the State's chief executive an-nounced.

But it isn't as easy as all that, ananalysis of the situation showed. In largecommunities, like Minneapolis and St.Paul, the city governments have voted tostay on War Time. The county govern-ments, unable to take any action, areforced to accept Standard Time. In Min-neapolis, especially where both city andcounty offices are quartered, the con-fusion will be great.

Only 8 Towns for War TimeAltho opposition to the reverting back

to standard Time was thought to beprincipally among the larger cities in theState, many smaller towns and villageshave adopted War Time skeds too. Infact, only eight rural communities havethus far voted to go Standard Time. Yet,despite this overwhelming incongruity.Hizzoner, the Governor, had refused tointerfere.

To confuse the issue more, bars andtaverns, according to a ruling by theState attorney general, operating in com-munities on War Time, may not openbefore the War Time opening hour oftheir communities, but must close on theStandard Time closing hour. Some of thecolons who voted for the return toStandard Time already are sorry, and ifthe Legislature were in session now theywould be among the first to seek repealOf the confusing statute.

Stage Door CanteenHomeless; New SpotNeeded by July 31

NEW YORK, July 9,-Unless a lasts --minute miracle happens, it looks likecurtains for the New York Stage DoorCanteen. The New York Times is takingover the building from the Shuberts tobuild an annex to the newspaper planton 438 Street.

For the last three and a half weeksthe Canteen has had two committees offive members each out pounding thepavements looking for locations, but sofar they have had no luck. Of the 24places they have seen, only two weresatisfactory. One, Hotel Diplomat, ayeits okay but reneged when the Canteenwas ready to sign on the dotted line.The other, which is a very desirable lo-cation (ground level) and has been un-used for a long time, has refused toplay ball. However, the Canteen is go-ing over the management's head to seethe owner. Deadline for the Canteen isJuly 31.

Location needed must have special re-quirements. Primary demand is for aplace with 8,000 to 10,000 square feetof space. Because of the number ofwounded war vets, Canteen also needsspot (night club or hotel location wouldbe ideal) that he either on ground level,has an elevator or has an easy flight ofstairs to climb. All this complicatesthe problem.

Detroit Radio HelpProblem Eased byLifting of Control

DETROIT, July 9.-The easing of man-power control in the Detroit area, whichhas been considered an emergency laborarea, has made considerable difference toemployment conditions at some localstations. The general story is that thosewhich operated short-handed are takingadvantage of the chance to get morehelp, but others, such as WJR, whichnow has 36 men in the service, are notadding any, figuring that their men inthe service will soon be back. WJR'sstaff of almost 200 is so large that ithas been able to absorb the slack with-out too much difficulty.

WWJ, however, promptly took ad-vantage of the opportunity to add fournew men to its staff: Charles Lewis,ex-woL newscaster; Corby Stone, ex-WXYZ; Allen Anderson, ex-Detrola Man-ufacturing, and Alphonse Furget, ex -U. S. Arany.

At CKLW, the situation is a bit dif-ferent, because the station now has sev-eral men who expect to receive dis-charges from the Canadian army soon,and will be relured. Practically no addi-tional male help is required in the De-troit outlet, because it Is Canadian asfar as its transmitter is concerned.WXYZ is getting some replacements,mostly on the distaff side, and no addi-tional people are being added.

Community Radio BlueprinilState, CivicHeads Confab

N. Y. radio execs attendSyracuse U conununitymeet-develop ok outline

By Lou FrankelSYRACUSE, N. Y., July 7.-New York

radio today had a blueprint for improvedcommunity service, stemming from thecombined action of stationmen and com-munity organization leaders, that mayroad -mark future radio operations on anational basis. Outline was hammeredout at the New York State Institute ofCommunity Service held at Syracuse Uni-versity. Radio sector of the confab washeld this week -end.

Theme of meet was how to correlatecommunity groups with the post-warworld and increase in democracy. Duringthe gathering the delegates, 80 -odd, rep-resenting all official and quasi -officialcommunity organizations, discussed,among other things, how film, radio andnewspapers could be used. Central ad-visory body for State community and civicgroups is the New York State CitizensCommunity Council.

Head of the radio unit for the groupis Mr. Hanna of WHCII, Ithaca. Hannacalled Elliott Stewart, WIBX, Utica; E. ILVandeboncouer, WHYR, and Morris No-vik, WNYO, to sit in as consultants. Msoon hand to meet with delegates was FCCCommissioner DUrr.

Sitting in round -table discussion withcommunity organization leaders, Hannaand the rest of his radio committeethrashed out the bows and whys of radioIn the field of conununity service. Fromthis came the blueprint which was sub-mitted to and accepted by the full mem-bership of the institute. The outline de-tails for civic groups and radio stations,how to work together, and where it dif.fere in previous outlines, not unlike this,is in Its positive approach to the prob-lem. Community leaders are told whatto do and how to do and all with an eyetoward radio's needs.

Thus, the outline points out that aradio station is a full partner in thecommunity and best results stein fromco-operative action by both civic groupsand the station. The community groupswere given and accepted an outline whichin three pages set objectives, modus oper-andi and definitions.

So under objectives the conferees putquality, quantity and co-operative actioninto three simple sentences. Then, un-der "how to do it," they again in threesimple sentences told the communitypeople to get together and form a radiocouncil, to work with the local stations,to make sure it represented every majorcommunity group in its city.

Following the same simple formula, theblueprint, still sticking to the no morethan three -sentence idea, told the com-munity groups to tell the public whatthey had to do, what they had to use andwhat they wanted. Then, and possiblymost important to radio, the blueprinttold community groups how to go outand do their job.

Even in its summary, the reportstressed the local radio idea. To wit:"But whatever you do, particularly inradio, be sure to do so on a local level.It must be done so your audience can seethemselves as involved and affected bythe programs being broadcast. Keep yourprograms on a local, on a grass roots,level,"

All in all, in the opinion of experiencedradiomen on the scene, the industry has,for the first time, an outline which shouldsatisfy the needs of the community. Andat the same time help the stationmen intheir everyday job for their community.

Now, it would seem, the job is up tothe community people to go back to theircities, towns and villages and get to work.If they do, figured radiomen, We will beready and able to work with them.

Y&R Gets Out AxFor Danny Thomas

But Can't CleaveNEW YORK, July 10.-Young & Rubi-

cam this week Indicated that it was plan-ning to throw comic Danny Thomas offthe Fanny Brim show and stirred up foritself a nest of nasty legal hornets. Y&R,it's understood, decided to cancelThomas's contract immediately, but wasinformed by the William Morris Officethat it would have to get Fanny Brice'sapproval for the move.

Y&R. ir.-p., Harry Ackerman, repliedthat the agency needed no one's approvalto ax Thomas. Ackerman was then re-ferred to Miss Brice's contract (which itjust got from Benton & Bowles) In whichit is clearly stipulated that all changesin writers, producer, director and fea-tured actors must be approved by thestar,

Exact reason for the agency's plan toremove Thomas, whom trade agrees hasdone a top job, is not known, but it Isknown that several extensions have beensalted for in renewing the comic's agree-ment. Last week Benton & Bowles,which then still had the contracts, askedfor a second extension. It is felt in theindustry that B&B had been informed ofY&R's plan and decided to co-operatewith the latter even tho they were losingthe program. Despite the agency's ob-jections, it is felt that Miss Brice willrefuse to agree to Thomas's axing.

Nets Prep Building SplurgeOn Hollywood Studios forDay When Materials FlowSpending $3,000,000-C. of C. Seeks To Anchor Row

HOLLYWOOD, July 9.-Terrific spurtin network building will get under wayhere as soon as vital materials are re-leased, with conservative estimates fig-ured at around 3,000,000 bucks to bespent. Latest to come in with' announcedplans for post-war expansion is OBS,which has akedded two new studios tobe erected on the web's present site.Studios will seat around 500 and willcost more than a quarter -million dollars,Network has plenty of space for addedstudios but will probably have to giveup its parking lot in order to take careof the new set-up.

It is understood by thoseclose to the picture that some Americanexecs want a Beverly Hills location forthe web but this is being fought downthe line. The local office figures thatthe network will suffer if Sunset -Vineproximity is ignored.

However, many of the American big-wigs feel that the Beverly Hills addresswill give the web more prestige than itcan garner competing with the othernetworks at its present stand. Thoseclose to the picture say that when theshowdown comes, American will un-doubtedly stick around with the rest Ofthe gang.

It's In Again -Live AudiencesN. S. H. on Coast

HOLLYWOOD, July 9.-Annual head-ache of cocktail -hour radio audiences isbeing threshed out again here. Manyproducers are of the opinion that ticket -holders should be barred from some ofthe top-flight shows which have to beoff around five o'clock here in orderto catch the eight o'clock dialers In theEast.

Question of whether audiences aregood or bad for a show has been arguedpro and con for many seasons, Mit ideato eliminate the studio audience isgaining impetus here among certain pro-ducers. It has been well known for along time that the five o'clock audiencesare usually dead on their feet and offerlittle or no response. Producers who be-lieve in playing to the listener only feelthat this type of pewhoider is a detri-ment and that if they can't have a goodaudience they'd rather have none at all.

Trade Worries About DialerOne part of the trade is of the opinion

that too much attention is given the liveaudience and not enough to the dialer.This is evidenced in many top-flightcomedy shows where mugging is anestablished art, the theory being thatIf the studio audience laughs then thelistener will join in.

As far as audiences are concerned, notrouble is encountered with those showsairing after seven o'clock here. It is theearlier shows which have the grief. It isbelieved by many of those close to thepicture that some good audition showshave been ruined because of the neces-sity of waxing them at this hour. Inother words the ticket -holders wouldn'tlike it good or bad.

Also there is movement afoot to regu-late distribution of ducats so that out-of-towners will get a better break. Asit is now, a good seg of the pasteboardsgo to the "regulars" who make it abusiness of getting their free entertain-ment via the radio audience route, Net-work press departments have long triedto figure out some way to spread thoducats around, figuring that the visitingfiremen will do more to publicize theshow than the locals.

WCKY Gag ControversyRevives Union's Air Plans

DETROIT, July 7.-By-product of thegag allegedly placed on discussion ofcontroversial issues over WCKY, Cincin-nati, is renewal of move fob establish-ment of separate radio station by theUnited Automobile Workers (CIO), withDetroit serving as key city for whichfirst station is planned. This interpreta-tion of the reaction to the ban was givenby George F. Addes, secretary -treasurer,who said that the union definitelyplanned an FM station as soon as equip-ment for its construction becomes avail-able.

Move follows tentative dickering ayear ago for the purchase of the licenseof WJBK, 260-watter, for a reported$760,000, which proved too high to in-terest the union. The Billboard subse-quently pointed out the value of an FMstation to a union of this type, becauseof its probable lower -cost operation, andthe union officials subsequently indi-cated a strong interest in a string ofFM stations wherever there are strongconcentrations of membership in in-dustrial cities.

for the"IWO JIMA FOUR"

The Billboard, in its Eighth Annual Radio Promotion Survey, has honored WLWwith a "first", for our support of the Seventh War Loan Campaign.

Gratefully, we acknowledge the honor ... and hasten to pass it on to those whose

inspiration really earned it-the four million men-at-arms who have fought andarc fighting overseas, typified by the four flag -raisers of Iwo Jima.

In all things, this is our policy: "Whatever the job, there is a way to do it best."

When war came and men began to fight and die, we knew that there would be many,

many jobs worth doing "best" to hasten Victory. So we became the first radiostation to establish a War Activities Department, for coordinating and directing war

effort propaganda. Through this department, working closely with all other depart-

ments in our organization, hundreds of hours of air time and millions of broadcast

and printed words have aided every cause whose aim was quicker, surer Victory.

Our Seventh War Loan Promotion was not the exception, but the rule.

It is significant, we believe, that our home county bought more than 225% ofits quota in the Mighty Seventh, and we like the satisfying sensation that we might

have helped a little in setting that record.

One of the disks (which, like Colum-bia's, will be played at The Billboardpromotion exhibit in Chicago today) wasdesigned for one specific campaign. Itwas a concerted effort to sell 10 of WOR'smost expensive shows in the period of18 weeks-an attempt to better WOR'snew business record for 1944. Sixteensalesmen were called together one Mon-day morning at 9:15 and had the mt.played to them. Like others, it was amixture from Creamer's pen, of laughs,verse and information about the 10shows. Presented in that way, the ma-terial made a better impression on thesales guys than if they had merely beenthe recipients of memos from the pro-motion department. Same disk has alsobeen played for clients with good results.

Just as important, if not more im-portant in the trinity of sound selling, isaudience building thru the use of radio.WOR, as have others, for more than ayear, has been using WOR to promoteWOR. This is done in several ways, themost important. being a series of drain.-hind 30 and 15 -second spots, more than30 a day, seven days a week, which plugthe station, its call letters, its programsand its special features. Unlike the usualpromotional spot, WOR's material is dra-matized and is used not only for specificprograms but for an entire day or anentire block Of programs. The spots areplaced in various strategic slots duringthe day. A woman's program may havea spot selling it a half hour before it goeson the air. An afternoon show may beplugged in the morning. But most times,spots are placed so that they can steal

Selling via sound, a tool native to ra-dio, has not been used too often in the.,past. It's expected that other networksand stations will follow the trail blazedby CBS and WOR and use their weapon,/to do creative selling.

Following the program mood theoryfirst developed In CBS's listener diaries,WOE watches the skeda of other stations.When a program similar in mood to oneof WOR's is discovered, station spots aplug for its show immediately after theopposition's seg goes off' the air. Thus,the listener is Informed that the sametype of program as they have just heardis on WOR at a different time. Thispromotion from within technique, nowbeing used by other stations, has beenfound to be just as effective as any othermethod of promotion for WOR. Whilenot abandoning other media, WOR hasfound that its own medium pays offpretty well.

The history of sound selling, in altthree directions, goes back to about 1928,altho it had no widespread use until re-cently. In 1928, according to Meighan,a bright lad in the London office of theGramaphone Oompany thought up a newidea on how to sell the electronic phono-graphs and records which were then be-ginning to come onto the market.

We have been pretty busy promotingthe switchover to the ABC Network,

but not too busy to strut over our recent award from Billboard.Thanks, Billboard, for saying that KRNT "is on the ball." Andthanks to the agency and advertising executives who singledout KRNT's promotion. Makes us mighty proud.

BBC's Poll Shows High SchoolKids Like Dramatized News SegsNEW YORK, July 9.-Radio's slowly

growing emphasis on dramatized newsappears to be a decided favorite withlisteners in this area, according to asurvey conducted by the BBC among 700high school kids. Last week the studentswere invited to express their opinions ofthe corporation's new series on the waragainst Japan. Eighty-one per cent ofthem preferred their news with a dra-matic flavoring.

The kids, in evaluating BBC's The Warin the Pacific, sold that they preferdramatizations because they make news"more exciting and more interesting."Children, who in this area often helpshape their elders' listening habits, saidthat the method of presentation heldtheir interest better and helped themunderstand the facts more easily.

In reply to the question: "Did thisprogram fairly present what you wouldlike the British people to know aboutthe U. S.'s part in the war againstJapan?," 95 per cent said "yes." Thekids indicated that the programs, whichwill be played as a three-part series tolisteners in Great Britain, would pro-mote greater understanding of U. S.problems. And that understanding, theysaid, would mean greater co-operationbetween the two countries.

A few kids objected to dialect stere-otypes, protesting that all people fromBrooklyn, for instance, do not speak likethe stock Brooklyn type. Others saidthat they liked the program but that itmissed a bet In not dealing with mis-conceptions which the British haveabout us and which we have about theBritish. Asked if they bad learned some-thing new from the program about thePacific fighting, 85 per cent said theyhad.

Dramatized News Strong FaveBut the most important conclusion

reached from the questionnaire, accord-ing to reliable observers, is the strongpreference for dramatized news. This isan indication, it is said, that radio caninform the public more effectively if ituses the techniques of showmanshiprather than slavish adherence to oldforms. Trade points out that there hasbeen a strong resistance to use of dramain news except in the case of the "big"shows like March, of Time, Report to theNation or We, the People. The wallshave been broken somewhat by programslike American's Headline Editions, but

Gil Lamb,SpikeJonesHead New PackagePeddled by GAC

NEW YORK, July 9.-General Amuse-ment Corporation, talent oflice here, ispackaging a new show starring comicGil Lamb, Spike Jones and his ork, theModernalres and a female chirper, whichis being eyed by two of the large book-ing ad agencies. Lamb, a William Morrisact. is being lend -leased to GAC at theInitial 10 per cent.

GAC is currently conducting negotia-tions with prospective buyers and it isexpected that the program will be soldwithin the next three weeks. Ork andsinger have not been set but it's un-derstood that GAC is angling for MarionHutton and Harry Sosntck.

the industry has not yet really begunto move in that direction.

It is pointed out that with the warover in Europe and peace the big storycoming up, straight newscasting won'thold the audience. Dramatizations will,and the BBC survey. while certainly notconclusive, does add weight to the argu-ments of those who want to hypo the

The BBC shows were written byMerrill Denison, with music by AlexanderSemmler, production by Roy Lockwood.Narrators were Martin Gabel, PaulLuther and Kermit Murdock. First ofthe series was played to the British peo-ple July 5. Other two will be played onJuly 12 and 19.

DeMille Still Eyes"Lux Theater" Job

HOLLYWOOD, July 9.-Starting ac-tion which he hopes will land him backas pilot of Lux Radio Theater in thefall, Cecil B. De Mille, last week, filednotice of appeal, seeking to set asideverdict of Judge Emmet H. Wilson, whoruled APRA was within their rights inassessing him $1 to fight a politicalmeasure alien to the Guild's best in-terests. De Mille refused to pay thedollar and was suspended.

Lux Theater, when it rettnns to the airAugust 27, will continue to follow thatguest emcee policy which was institutedafter De Ivlllle decided he needn't paya one buck APRA assessment. It hadbeen expected that some permanent re-placement would be decided upon by thetime the show ended its summer lay-off but no ono has been selected to date.

In the past, program used Hollywoodproducing names to do the chore andit Is expected that the big brains willbe on tap again.

Outings Are BackPHILADELPHIA, July 9.-First

roll call of listeners to KYW'searly - morning Musical Clockshow, conducted by Leroy Miller.will he staged July 25. Miller isinviting his listeners to join himthat clay at Willow Grove, amuse-ment park, tagging it as "MusicalClock Club Day."

Miller, who has been waking uplisteners early in the morningfor the past nine years, decidedrecently to take stock of his audi-ence and started ballying a "Mu-sical Clock Club." First Call formembership brought 2,500 appli-cants, and to date, enrollmentshows 15,000 members. This sta-tion promotion is the first outingfor listeners since the start of thewar. Before travel restrictionsset in, conductors of women's pro-grams staged annual picnics andoutings for listeners. In additionto the park amusements, Millerwill emcee two vaude shows atthe park, with dancing skeddedfor the evening, music providedby KYW maestro Clarence Fuhr-Man.

The Gremlins....NEW YORK, July 9.-Type lice somehow or another got mixed into the "Future

Line -Up" box published in the issue dated July 7 and the channels and what-notswere confused but clearly. The correct allocation picture for FM and television,in the channels to be used at once should have looked like this:

FM was 42- 50 MC will be 8S-106 MCVideo Channel No. 1 was 50- 56 MC will be 44- 50 SICVideo Channel No. 2 was 60- 06 MC will be 54- 60 MCVideo Channel No. 3 was 64- le MG will be GO- 6G MCVideo Channel No. 4 was 78- &I MC will be 66- 72 MCVideo Channel No. 6 was 84- 90 MC will be 76- 82 MCVideo Channel No. G was 0e-102 MC will be 82- 88 MCVideo Channel No. 7 was 102-1043 MC will be 88-104 SIC

Thus it can be seen that television slips down on the spectrum while FM movesup into, what everyarne hopes, will be zones of clearer listening. The channel loca-tions of the major television stations now on the air follow;

Channel 1-NBC, New York; Zenith, Chicago; Don Lee, Hollywood.Channel 2-CBS, New York; Balaban to Katz, Chicago.Channel 3-Thilco, Philadelphia; General Electric, Schenectady.Channel 4-Dumont, New York; Paramount, Hollywood.

This we hope clears up what the gremlins did to last week's box.

Of these preferences, taken from thelicense application files of the FederalCommunications Commission, two ofDuMont's specifications come from Du -Mont itself, one for its proposed stationin Washington and the other for an out-let in Boston.

Long Wait Seen Before FMMoves on Big Scale; FCCSpeeds Engineering "Bible"Connuish To Hold Confabs on Rules, Standards This Week

WASHINGTON, July 0. -Despite thespeed with which Federal Communica-tions Commission is preparing standardsand procedures for FM, evidence con-tinues to trickle unofficially out of WarProduction Board suggesting a long waitbefore FM operations can get underwayIn the nation on a sizable scale. WhileWPB continues to relax controls on out-put of minor materials for civilian radiooperations, off-the-record word in thatagency now is that autumn leaves willbe falling before manufacturers will bepermitted to produce vital equipment,such as transmitters, for civilian useeven on small scale. Considerable timewill thereafter be required for gettingunderway. it is explained unofficially.

Meanwhile, from spokesmen for theindustry comes word that AM stationowners 'who have filed FM applicationsare in no hurry to change over to PlVf.Some of the AM station people will becontent to wait for years until FM corneainto its own. So far as WPB is concerned(off the record) production of FM re-ceivers can hardly be expected to reacha sizable volume before 1947 even ifV -J Day occurs before next December.

Thursday (5) WPB gave some idea of-ficially of the cautious pace to be fol-lowed in relaxing controls. WPB liftedthe controls on output of Industrial typetransformers, reactors and chokes (ex-cept for orders placed with General Elec-tric at Fort Wayne, Ind.), but gave noencouragement to those hoping for re-laxing of controls on more valued equip-ment.

Nevertheless, FCC is continuing to putall speed into preparing an FM engineer-ing "bible." An informal conference willbe held here Thursday (12) on standardsand rules for PIA and facsimile, and tele-vision standards will be considered thefollowing day (13).

There is no lack of faith among FMoperators and applicants in future of thehigh frequency broadcasting. With ap-proximately 50 commercial stations nowoperating, new applications Seek evenwider coverage operations. The pendingapplications seek to cover areas tip to50,000 square miles. Major Armstrong.inventor of PM, has asked FCC for per-mission to extend coverage of his station(WFMN) in Alpine, N. 3., to 16,610 squaremiles. Most existing operating' stationscover about half that area,

R&R Chi OfficeStarts Going OnActual Segs

CHICAGO, July 9.-Fact that aleast one agency in town is beginningto wake up to the idea that it's abouttime the 15 percenters here got downto some actual work in television whilethere is still a chance to steal a marchon competition, was seen bore last weekwhen it became known that the localRuthrauff & Ryan office had madearrangements to use on WBKB at leasta half-hour a week for R. & R. clientsin the near future. Plan is still in theembryonic stages, with the agencymerely stating that definitely it hadarranged for a schedule on WBKB with-out being sure yet whether it woulddevote time to one sponsor or constructa participation series in which variousclients would participate.

First indication of an awakening ofthe value of video programing now onthe part of the local H. & R. office wasthe agency's hiring a couple of weeksago of Fran Harris, former WBKBstaffer, to head television activities here.Altho R. & R. will not yet any whatshows have been set or what sponsorahave been signed up, it is known thatsome of its clients are definitely inter-ested in video in this market. Almost ayear ago Ros Metzger, radio head of theagency here, said that Lever Bros. werebeing given a pitch to take a show onWBKB. Since then the agency has beenmaking feelers in the direction of otherclients in an attempt to sell them onthe idea of doing video shows.

R. & R. series on WBKB is expectedto.start in a couple of months or in thefall. At least arrangements for time fora series of video shows have been madeby R. & R. That is more than can besaid about any other agency here.

Senator's AbsenceDelays Action onDisk -Royalty Curb

WASHINGTON, July 9. --Senate Judi-ciary Committee's attempt to force ac-tion on legislation to curb platter royal-ties has hit a temporary snag whichmay be overcome in a few weeks. Sen..lames 0. Eastland (D., Miss.), head of asub -group in the Judiciary Committee,originally planned to hold a hearing to-day on the anti -royalty bill of Sen.Josiah W. Batley (D., N. C.), but at thelast minute Eastland announced thatthe hearing must be postponed for twoor three weeks due to Bailey's absencefrom city.

Bailey is to be the chief witness inbehalf of his bill when the hearing isfinally held. The bill is designed tocrack down on activities of PresidentJames C. Petrillo, of American Federk-tion of Musicians. Similar efforts tostrike at Petrillo from the House sidehave been futile thus far, with the HouseInterstate and Foreign Commerce Com-mittee stalemated on the issue.

The respective totals, says the trade,indicate that new companies may have atough time crashing the gates In tele-vision's early stages. The large com-panies appear to have the present mar-ket cornered and with It the first fInshof money from peacetime construction.However, it's pointed out that after theinitial boom, performance and correctprice alone will count. If DuMont orany of the others now trying to get intothe field prove they can deliver thegoods, the initial advantage gained byRCA and GE will be wiped out.

Philco Prexy SeesPostwar T ele BoomPHILADELPHIA, July 9.-The erection

of hundreds of television stations with-in the next five years was envisionedby John Ballantyne. Philco Corporationproxy, as a result of the green light giventelevision and FM by the FCC Just assoon as war conditions permit. "It isnow a fact that television will go aheadrapidly on a commercial basis," opinedBallantyne, "Hundreds of new stationswill he erected in the next five years.High quality receiving sets will be madeavailable at moderate cost so that every-one within the range of a transmittercan share in the marvels of this greatnew art."

Stating that television will become oneof the nation's important industries inthe post-war years, Ballantyne predictedthat television will provide a "new, ex-citing service for the public so that peo-ple can see as well as listen to the greatnews events and the best entertainmentIn their homes." The industry, lie added,will create countless new jobs in re-search, engineering, production, sales,service and program creation.

13allantyne also pointed out that theFCC's decision to establish FM on ahigh -quality basis will provide interfer-ence -free service for the public and overthe years lead to FM's fullest possibledevelopment. "The commission is to becongratulated on the careful, studiousway in which it has investigated the

Sweeny and MarchSwitch to Simins'sAwaits Ink and X

HEW YORK, July O.-The replace-ment of Ginny Simms with the WestCoast comedy team of Sweeny and Marchon the Philip Morris Show (Blow), firstreported in Tice Billboard three Weeksago, is about ready to go flint, with theboys going on the nicer as soon as con-tracts are signed.

BMW's idea is to hook the comics intothe show now, with Ginny Simms doinga few songs Until her contract terminates.

Program would still be Talent Theaterbut would eliminate Miss Simm's G.I.spot. As soon as the singer made herswitch over to Borden's in the fall,Sweeny and March would take over thewhole program,

whole allccations problem, and by itsdecision opened the door to the progressthat the days ahead are sure to bring,"he added. "The action of the commissionbrings much nearer the time when theradio industry can resume civilian pro-duction of both FM receivers and tele-vision sets by definitely establishing thefrequency allocations for both services."

Itdoesn't take long for a G.I. to recall hisfavorite, while the rolled up pantsers,who vote at secondary schools, make uptheir minds currently without recourseto memories.

Last of the orks to break into the laveclassification is Woody Herman, anotherwho didn't rank last year with the G.I.'s.This year, Woody rates within 50 percent of the toppers. Reason why otherorbs aren't tabbed is because these fourwere far and away ahead of competitionwith the boys in khaki and the men inblue,

Ring Way AheadIn the male tonsil division, there's

hardly any difference between the high-schoolers and the fighting men andwomen. (Ferns repped about 10 percent of the uniformed gang polled.) DerBinge!, however, was many times as farahead of the field as he has been recordedbefore. His 1,188 points rated 200 percent better than Frank Sinatra, whilelast year he was a little better than 100per cent ahead. Como, who didn't showlast year, did a8 Well as Dick Haynes(tied him, in fact). That was truealso with the school book carriers who,however, weren't as Como -minded as the

giving him approximately one-third less points than they gave Haymes.

Dinah Shore continues to top thethrush division, leading the Lem field asmany laps as the Groaner leads the maletonsil contingent. Jo Stafford is secondand Ginny Simms third. The box scoreon this page indicates just how far Jo S.has come with the G.I.'s. Last year shedidn't get into the box score, there wereso few going for her.

Andrews Sisters No. 1Comes the singing groups, comes the

confirmation that the Andrews Sistershave taken over the first slot, but defi-nitely. Last year they tied the Ink Spotsin the G.I. hearts and were second withthe soxers. This year Patty, La Verneand Maxene not only came in first inthe hearts of the kids but led the singinggroups division by 108 points, whichain't hay, when the G.L's roll them outthat way.

Ink Spots No. 1 Male GroupInk Spots are still the leading male

makers with multiple -part harmony,leading the Pled Pipers by the exactnumber of points that the sisters An-drews lead the field. The Pied Pipers,who didn't rate last year either withthe G.I.'s or the kids, came in fourthwith the kids and third with the G.I.'s.They're ahead of the fourth placers thisyear with the khaki and bell-bottomtrousers by 98 points. That fourth Blotis handled adequately by Mills Brothersand the King Colo Trio. The Mills boysrated last year with the G.I.'s, but notwith the kids. This year they rated inboth camps but the King Cole swingstersedged their way into the G.I. votingpreferences. The Cole disks must havelanded into plenty of jukes around thecamps, for the editors voting were quar-tered in,30 out of the 48 States and ter-ritories.

Stan Kenton Coming UpIn the upcoming classification, the

services indicated that they liked Les

Brown (voted the No. 1 slot by the out-side shirt wearers) by less than theyyenned Stan Kenton. Of course, this isjust what they did last year-only moreso, What's new with the G.I.'s was theway Bobby Sherwood landed solidly inthe top three batoners on their way up.Bobby was only 33 votes behind LesBrown, yet he's without the solid diskhelp that has been bouncing Lea rightalong. However, the boys In camps haveheard Sherwood-and think that he'scoining right along, which may be a tipto Capitol to disk B. S. more frequentlythan they have been doing. He's theonly one, among the G.I.'s Caves, whosedisks didn't go a long way to get himhis points.

Next week the college faves will betabbed in another annual poll. Thecollege report was dropped last year dueto the limited number of colleges whichwere prepared to report on musical yens.This year a representative cross sectionof the ivy-covered walls came forth withenough reports to make possible an ac-curate plc of what the 18 -to -21 -year -oldswant.

The issue of July 28, the week afternext, will deliver a combined tune reportof both 0.1.'s and colleglates with a com-parison of what each means to the tunebiz. Disk identification of both seg-ments of the music buyers will be re-ported in the issue dated August 4. Whileall these reports cover the last year, theyreflect the buying urge-and what makes'em buy-which is a good tip-off ofwhat's going to make 'em buy this year,Combined, the soxers, and the col-legiates present the youth of the nationat the innate sales counters. That's whyThe Billboard takes the time, energy andcash to analyze and poll 'em.

Tooters NowMay Stay, atHotels Played

AFM Board Eases RuleCHICAGO, July 0.-For first time in

couple of years musicians have beengiven the official okay by the AmericanFederation of Musicians to accept roomsin the same hotels where they play anengagement. Seems that few years ago,when sideman played a spot, mess oftrouble arose due to price of rooms,discounts, etc. Therefore AFM steppedinto the picture and made it againstunion rules for a sideman to play a spotand also live there.

This year, however, at the exec boardmeeting of the AFM in Chicago, leadersbrought up the difficulty of trying tofind space for sidemen in many of thecities they play, pointing out that hous-ing conditions today are on the tightside, to put it mildly. Ruling at the execboard meeting to the effect that side-men could live in the same hotel wherethey played therefore was put thru.

Cugat for Slapsy'sSpot; 15G Weekly

HOLLYWOOD, July 9.-Xavier Cugat1s signed with the ape of Slapsy Maxie'sto go into the spot for 815,000 per week.Price is stupendoris compared to usuhlband salary for a location job, but onofactor is that Cugat is to supply thecomplete package. Opening date de-pends entirely on just when Cugat'sband winds up on their picture forMGM. Cugat figures he will be able togo into Slapsy Maxie's sometime in Octo-ber. It's understood the spot will closefor four weeks prior to Cugat's openingin order to remodel. Cugat's comingmeans complete switch of comedy andslapstick policy now prevailing at Slapsy's.Cugat has tentatively lined up the showwhich would include Hermanos WilliamsTrio, Frackson the Magician, the Garciasand a rhumba line. Dioaa Costello isanother "if."

It's known that Ciro's and the Trees-dero on the Strip have been makingovertures to Cugat to play their spotsagain, but both rooms are of the in-timate type, and it's believed Cugatwants to go into a room with thecapacity of Slapsy Maxie's so that a com-parative huge turnover as well as setcrowd will add up to a big gross.

Philco DiskeryBid Cools ButMay Be RevivedCHICAGO, July 9.-As predicted first

In The Billboard six months ago, a defi-nite bid to go into the disk biz has beenmade by Philco, which recently had adeal in the works with Premier Records.Altho deal at present seems to have gonecold, it is understood that Philco was go-ing to take over Premier the same asMajestic Radio took over Oberatein's HitRecord and made it the Majestic disk.

According to those fairly well informedout here, Premier-Philco deal was all setto go just a short time ago, but some-thing came up to queer the works. How-ever, it indicates that Philco is right inthe market for a deal to put them intothe record biz.

At the present time Majestic has 4switched top recording men, Obersteinstepping out of the set-up and BenSelvin taking over June 1. Many otherradio manufacturers have definite de-signs anent going into the biz, and a re-veraal of procedure is rumor around townthat Decca, a diskery, may be going intothe manufacturing side of radios to gowith disks. Decca for some time has hadin its line an electric record player madefor the org by another outfit.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Technicians atthe recording studios of the ColumbiaRecording Corporation went on strikeSaturday (7) at midnight at the NewYork. Chicago and Hollywood studios ofthe corporation. Second strike vote (asreported in The Billboard last week) con-firmed a former vote taken to strikeunless CRC management took someaction on the unit's (Local 1212. Inter-national Brotherhood of Electrical Work-ers, AFL) demands of improved work-ing conditions and higher pay. Unithas been without contract since lastFebruary, being unable to reach termswith the management.

Since no contract exists and since noappeal has been made to the War LaborBoard, the unit felt it was free to strike.Ono point stressed by the chairman ofthe unit was fact that it wanted any ad-justment retroactive to February andCRC Was unwilling to agree to this-or,the unit claims, to any other of itsdemands.

Two men have been left on duty bythe unit in New York to protect Mr.Whiskers' work, which will not hestopped by the strikers.

Combo Rack Being CheckedDisk and SheetDual Selling

Mag pub checks possibili-ties of 1,000 rack test ofmusic self -selling

NEW YORK, July O.-While Saul Im-merman (Song Distributing Corporation)and Larry Richmond et al. (Music Deal-ers' Service) are battling verbally andby letters with Walter Douglas (MPPA)in the middle, dose to his being on thecommittee of the RIDS racks, anotherorganization has been spending thou-sands of dollars and a lot of gray matterplanning a rack deal. which instead ofcompeting with the MDS or the SDCwill go far beyond the present rack set-up and distrib both disks anti sheetmusic at the same time.

Mug Outfit BackingOrganization spending the dough

clocking the field is a great magazinepublishing outfit which not only dis-tribs its own pulp fiction but whichhandles distribution for hundreds (thatmay be a slight exaggeration) of othermag publishing outfits. Idea of the newrack (the rack itself will cost about$7.50 as designed by the new group) Isto tie up sale of sheet music and disks,so that in some cases both will be sold atthe same time. Reason for the dual orcombo rack is that pub's check-up re-vealed that sheet music appeals to asmaller percentage of the public thandisks clo and that a goodly percentage ofdisk buyers also would buy sheet musicat the same time if it were available.

While the diskers have not been ap-proached as yet officially, there havebeen talks (altho denied) with Deccaand Victor, and each recording outfithaving had intro. -office sessions on theirown to discuss the new aches which acombo rack will create.

10 Disks, 10 Sheets.Rack will carry 10 disks and 10 titles

of sheet music. Ultimate attempt willbe to have the sheet music be the sameas the "A" aide of the disks on the rocks.Underwriters of the combo rack, however,are not building any hopes on being ableto achieve that to start with. The sheetmusic title will appear above the diskversion of the song. At the bottom ofone version of this rack, space has beenleft for two albums, with depth avail-able for a stock of three of each of thealbums. Trade doubts that albums canbe sold this way, but distribs, when snak-ing the check-up of spots, find that out-lets are interested In the possibility ofhandling, without possibility of loss(albums will be 100 per cent returnable)an item that will retail at around $2.50and give them a sizable margin of profit.

Six -Month DeadlineCombo rack will be set to go, if at all,

on or before January 14 of next year.There will be 1,000 racks to start, witheach spot clocked in advance for traffic,type of clientele and turnover of maga-zines in the store. Only mag and news-paper outlets (some will be spots han-dling maga and no newspapers) will be

We have been on the move ever sincewe left Paris and Just completed ourfirst week with the 76th Division of theNinth Army. We arc right up at the Rus-sian lines and a few days ago walkedover a bridge and met the Russians. Ofcourse you can't go in, but we did findout that they love boogie-woogie music.From what we have seen, Beat Me DaddyEight to the Bar is what they have usedas a theme against the krauts.

If the boys sitting around Lindy'scould see the reception we have receivedand how badly they need entertainmentI think conditions for these men whowere actually combat troops would he alot better. With the exception of JuniorMiss this is the only entertainment theyhave had since leaving Paris.

The men want name bands-wantthem badly-and should get them. Itmay be a joke on Broadway, and thepersonal managers and leaders may bereaping their harvest, but after seeingBuchenwald concentration camp today,the crematory, the gas chambers and apit where they had a bear to tear mento pieces if they complained-well, Iknow they would have a different set ofvalues. It makes a big change in a per-son and a bath every 10 days is appre-ciated-and a K ration tastes betterthan a steak at Frankle and Johnnie's.

It's rough and the bed rolls aren'tlike the Astor sheets. A handshake anda "thank you" isn't for a plug and onlyroutine-it's sincere and they mean it.

The real person, and they (the boys)all love her, Is Ruth Gaylor. She doeseverything we do-eats her K rations,uses a mess kit right along with thetroops, does two or three shows a daywith us, then will go and sing for theenlisted men when the show is over. Ihaven't heard her complain yet. Wetravel in trucks, the only equipment wecan use to get to the men. It's far fromeasy for a girl, but she is doing a sen-sational job.

It's not worried about being able toobtain the sheet music or the disks thatit desires. Publishers have told the dis-trlbs' representatives that their businessis to sell sheet music and anyone withcash and a real deal wouldn't be nixedregardless. As to the problem of disks,distrib isn't worried either. Feeling isthat if the Big Three and the top ladiesnix co-operation, they'll simply make adeal to disk their own top tunes andcreate a label for them. They don't ex-pect to have to do this but they're ready,if its check-up reveals that a combo rackis a plus form of income for them, tobusy 10,000 platters of each disk on anon -returnable basis-and absorb theloss on the breakage, On the returnand breakage ache, distrib has checkedWith an insurance company that's Will-ing to accept the risk at a figure that'snot too out of line with the profits in-volved.

Sonora StartsPressing DisksAt Conn. Plant

MER/DEN, Conm, July 9.-New Sonorapressing plant here started turning outplatters last week in limited quantities.Joe Gerl, prexy of Sonora, stated Ent Chilast week that the plant will be able toturn out 20,000,000 disks a year, butt lo-cals smile at these figures anal off therecord say that the plant will be luckyto turn out 10 per cent of this figure foryears to come. Secret of where Sonoragot its presses is one of those things,but it's known that it raided one ofthe big three's staff to get a top fore-man (engineer).

Building Is etc formerly occupied byCharles Parker Company and has beenthe property of Sonora for nearly a yearnow. Once the presses really get rolling,Mary Reuben, of the New York office,promises that she'll have enough solidnames signed to use up the productionfacilities and then some.

Sonora plant is just one of four inthe East set up within the last sixmonths and press source still has 'emguessing. However, trade thinks thatsome of the presses are froM governmentsources, altho this isn't certain.

On the StandJack Teagarden

(Reviewed at the Trianon Ballroom,Southgate, Calif.)

(George Chumos, p. in.;MCA booking office)

When Jack Teagarden comes on withI've Got a Right to Sing the Blues, itisn't because his band lacks any of thezualities necessary for turning out theindigo tunes. With his tram and theable support of his crew, big T's brandof music most certainly pleases dancers.And he doesn't confine his age limit toankleteers, those above this age go for it.too. Maestro's tram has wide range withplenty of frills to put his playing underthe category of added attractions. Buton this date Teagarden doesn't confinehis talents to the Martin. he also uses aFrench horn.

Outfit has the usual full band instru-mentation. However, the crewmen, lendsupport for the leader's horn. Here, themusickers are called upon to play a livelyblend of tunes for, after the openinghalf-hour, the dancers are definitely inthe snood for jump. They get it, too.However, Teagarden doesn't wield the in-fluence over the band at times that heshould. But before running to the funnyside gets to be a fault, big T steps infor a part and again solidifies the activi-ties.

On the instrumental stuff, Teagardengets solid support from his trumpets andespecially Gene Redmond on first, andStewart Fletcher on the hot parts.. Ona dance version of Rhapsody In awe,Norma Teagarden. big T's sis, does plentyokay with her piano part. Gal's defi-nitely an asset to the band, not only asa sideman, but also in helping out moatadequately to keep the music tight. Hervocals are okay, too. Robert Derry onalto and clarinet, and Bert Noah, tenorsax, get spotlighted parts.

Hit Disks Pay OffPlenty in Pic Biz

HOLLYWOOD. July 9.-It's pretty wellknown how a hit record helps a bandmake plenty of moola in practically everyfield of the biz. Latest industry tocome up with more scratch because aband is a hot commodity, due to ascorching disker, is pie biz.

Typical example is Louis Prima, MCAband, which has had quite a few hitdisks on Majestic label. Result: Althohis asking price for a film was $35,000not so long ago, today anyone tryingto make a deal with the guy will haveto pay $100,000, the reported film feefor the band. That's a $65,000 jump,all due to the fact that the guy had acouple of hit disks. That guy is hot isseen in fact that Strand Theater, NewYork, hit high gross with the guy aftera repeat of only a couple of months.

Voice Trouble StillHitting Welk Ork

DES MOINES, July 1.-Lawrence Welkis having singer troubles again, withvocalist Bob Donet leaving the band atDes Moines to take his pre-inductlon atCarroll, Ia. Donet obtained permissionto go from Carroll instead of his homeboard at New Orleans.

Donet had been with the band threemonths when Welk had to replace BobbyBeers, now in the navy at Great Lakes.Welk had just replaced Joan Mowery forJayne Walton who recently moved out.

Now Welk has to start looking for an-other male vocalist.

Walker Heading CoastwardNEW YORK, July 9.-Frank Walker,

head of MGN1's new disk firm, is reportedto be leaving for Hollywood. Purpose oftrip is to assimilate the pie biz. Walkeris second topper in field to head for theflicker city in recent weeks, Jonie Tapshaving gone to Columbia at 1G a week.

Teenster Juke Dancelands GetHeavySummerPlayinWildwoodWILDWOOD, N. J., July 7.-The appeal

of recorded music coming out of a jukebox is strong enough to attract heavypatronage among the teen-agers for twoJuke -box dance spots at this South Jer-sey. resort. Matching the appeal of S. B.Ramagosi's Bang Bang emporium at hisCasino Arcade, which has been in opera-tion for many summers, the new vaca-tion season brings a second spot withJack Davis opening a Danceland in Con-vention Hall.

Davis, who operates a similar Dance -land in the West Oak Lane section ofPhiladelphia, brought in a collection of1,500 dance records for his new resortspot. Convention Hall spot operatesnightly except Saturday, when the audi-torium is used for wrestling bouts. Inaddition, Davis will open the doors on allrainy afternoons when it is impossibleto get out on the beach or stroll on theBoardwalk. Admission is 35 cents, andyoungsters can dance continuously untilmidnight with various dancing contests

Similar policy for service men andwomen is in force at Ramagosi's BangBang, where the admission is set at 25cents.

Combo RackGets Checking

(Continued from page 16)by selected for the combo rack by a namecommittee. Idea here is that the nameswill sell more sheets and disks. Each diskand, copy of sheet will carry a little labelsaying that it was picked by the musiccommittee (nausea will be used) as anadded sales pitch. Names approachedhave been pushovers for the idea, seeingilackery and dough in it. Ono nationalname band leader even offered to servethe first year for free-to get a toe -hold'on the committee, but promoters nixedthat, saying that this was a businessproposition and everyone working on itwould be on a salary basis. No percentagedeals have been broached.

No "Ear" TestOnly difference of opinion in trade

is the question of whether disks can besold without their being played first.Answering this negative the promotershave incorporated in one of their rackdesigns a simple record player. Diskplayer has a minimum volume, so thatit can't disturb the rest of the store.Ache here is that soxers might come intothe store and play every disk on the rack-and go out buying none. That's whyfinal choice of rack is one without player-ultho player rack hasn't been discardedentirely.

Distribs admit that selling disks with-out the buyer being able to hear what'sbeing bought will no doubt force themto deal with recognized labels-and theywant to do Just that. They do not feelthat the self -selling disk rack will hurtthe regular disk retailer any more thanthebook-of-the-month clubs hurt bookstores.

There are a great many ifs in thecombo rack. Dlskers and pubs, however,are pleased that the backers are checkingevery possibility involved, are spendingdough ($10,000 has already been spentclocking outlets, making sample racksand even conducting sneak retail tests),sheet music and disks have been boughtthrU regular Jobbers for the tests, withorders scattered so that they could notbe traced to the combo rack test.

No Name CallingThere'll be no name calling in this

deal. Mag pubs back of the trial knowall about competitive merchandising,having been in on some nasty circulationwars themselves. They'll take care ofthat trouble when and if it arises. Asone member of the mag pub's brassstated, sans quotation, "We think thereis a business operation in sheet musicand disks that should be and can be partof our operations. Maybe we're wrong.We've been wrong before but we've sel-dom been wrong on anything that 'we'vespent $10,000 to test."

able, record retailers, with heavy invest-ments in their stores and stocks, arefearful that such dealers will representa form of unfair competition. Already,they say, there is evidence that the otherdealers are selling disks under list prices.

Restrict Distribution, End Shortages?It is also contended that if present

stocks of recordings were sold to theregular dealers only, there would be noshortages. They point out that the otherdealers already are pushing records tothe back of the store now that newmerchandise Is starting to come in, pull-ing record displays out of the windowand doing the industry no good in gen-eral.

Another major grievance aired againstthe distributors is the common practiceof withholding shipments of pop recordsunless retailers make heavy orders forthe label's classical numbers. In morethan one instance locally, there is thecase of a record distributor setting upit next-door or near -by electric applianceand even an auto accessories dealer inthe record business to compete againstan established retailer who refused toload up with dead disks.

Juke Complaints, TooOther grievances include second-hand

treatments accorded Juke box operators,and that factor looms big, since a largenumber of the most successful recordretailers here are also music machineoperators. Also, there is the matter ofco-operative advertising, charging dis-tributors with playing favorites and thewhole question of merchandising aide.

The record retailers point out thatwith the public no longer buying bylabel, platter purchases are solely on thebasis of song or artist, the stores are nolonger at the mercy of the "big three."Before the war if one of the "big three"(Victor, Columbia and Decca) denied itsrecords to a dealer it virtually meantclosing

BMI CuttingAdvance $$

To Bcind Pubs

NEW YORK, July 7.-Latest B1411pubbing deals with bandleaders, accord-ing to BMI execs, call for no advance.They point out that they have madedeals with Enoch Light and Henry Ring,in which no coin was shelled out.Rather, the Idea behind it is if a leaderwants to organize a firm and affiliatewith BMI, org is perfectly happy tomake the deal and pay the regular per-formance rate of 4 cents for a localplug and 6 cents for a network perform-ance. Also the $48 sheet shot bonus ar-rangement (see last week's The Bill-board).

Question in many minds Is whetherthe dough they have laid out in thepast is worth it. In the case of StevensMusic, BMI is said to have laid out$30,000 In advance and Buddy Morris,music pub, is said to have come acrosswith a like amount. So far, Stevens hasone tune, There Mast He a Way, whichhas hit the sheet consistently, besides get-ting a major disking from CharlieSpivak, who is also in on the firm.Tommy Tucker, who has Time Music,has transcribed 10 tunes licensed byBMI, while Tommy Dorsey has recordedsome 125 tunes pubbed by Embassy, aBMI affiliate.

labels, In many cases offering goodselling material, retailers claim they areno longer at the mercy of any one or tworecord manufacturers. At the meetingIt was brought' out that one of the "bigthree" is today, locally at least, thepoorest seller in the pop field. But again,dealers are forced to place heavy ordersfor the pop disks in order to get thelabel's classical items.

Cocktail Combos and SinglesGetting Biggest Play in YearsFrom Indies and Big Diskers

Sock Success of Talent Like Jordan Spurs WaxersCHICAGO, July 5.-Cocktail entertain-

ers currently are getting their biggestplay on wax since record companies an-nexed their first lounge talent some fiveyears ago. Within the last couple weeks,both the smaller independent platterpressers and the major disk firms havebeen busy inking new cocktail manes rustputting plenty of emphasis on releasesby cocktail combos and singles in theircatalogs.

Record execs are directing their effortstoward picking off the lucrative race andswing -record market. Bulk of the loungeentertainers, whose work has just startedto hit the disk counters are Negro groupsdoing blues, novelties and jump ditties.

New ReleasesMelosdisc, a new firm, has issued four

sides by the Plennoy Trio, L. A. unit, twoof whom are with Dan Grissom, ex-Lunce-ford crooner, and two aides by the Countsand the Countess, another Negro bass. gitand piano threesome. Juke Box, anotherdisk label newcomer, is ballyhooing a pairof sides cut by the Sepia Tones, fenHammond, piano and electric violin unit.DeLuxe, an East Coast waxery, is push-ing the first of a series of waxings by theFour Blues, Negro vocal and instrumentalcombo prominent in East Coast lounges.Illinois Jacquets Sextet has just beenreleased by Philo>, a West Coast noviceto the recording field. Loumell Morgan,electric guitar, bass and piano vaude andmotion picture combo, is featured onfour sides just released by Super, aGotham distributor. Art Van Danune,Instrumental combo which has been get-ting plenty of air time over NBC's Mid-western outlets, will have first of a seriesof his recordings released by Musicraftnext week.

Recent surge upon the part of waxworks' talent scouts to pick up top cock-tail combos is the result of the recentsuccess of a number of name cocktailcombos on the major labels. Louis Jor-dan, who started four years ago makingDecca records on their sepia label, whichis distributed to only a small numberof dealers, jumped a year ago to the Deceitpopularity series, a 50 -cent seller, andhas just been released on the personalityseries at 75 cents a copy, with BingCrosby, Decca's biggest seller. Jordan'sMeteoric rise was occasioned by his stringof successes, such as Outskirts of Totals;Slender, Tender and. Tall; Five DaysNamed Moe and Is You Is or Is You Ain'tMy Baby? all of which were catapultedto popularity by Jordan alone.

Phil Moore. whose only claim to famewas writing Shoo -Shoo, Baby, and beingLena Horne's arranger, has been added toVictor's list of best sellers in the shortperiod of the last nine months. TheKing Cole Trio has been selling Capitolplatters like hot cakes since unit'sStraighten Up and Fly Right disk soaredto the top of best-seller lists about a yearago. Majestic reports a consistently highsale for all the waxings by the ThreeSuns. Eddie Heywood's first two plattersfor Decca reaped big returns for thepreviously unheralded pianist. Joe Davisranks the Five Reel Caps among his bestsellers on the label which bears his ownname.

Louis Jordan's Coition la hasbeen heading the best-selling race, andhas rated high in top -selling popularrecords ladder for the last six weeks,and would probably rate high ns a radiofavorite hnd not the record been bannedfrom the air because of an objectionableportion of the lyrics. A number of theThree Suns' releases have been mentionedin the releases which are noted as possi-bilities for the top -selling classification.

Both the cocktail bookers and agentsand the artists are anxious to snare therecording pacts because previous experi-ence has shown that a heavy -platter salemeans pulling power at the box office.This is extremely important to the lesser -known cocktail entertainers, who havebeen confined to a region and whose workhas been heard only by a small crosssection of the trade. Plenty of recordswill mean few auditions for units whoare entering a new sector, as both thebooker and the lounge op will have agood idea of the unit's work thrii theirperformance via wax. Distribution of acombo's disks will mean that in pene-trating a new section of the country theunit will already have somewhat of afollowing. Bookers will be able to de-termine where to market their productsby contacting record distributors andfinding where the unit's records havebeen gelling rapidly. Heavy platter pay-off has often been the stepping stonefrom the better lounges to the vaudestage where the salary bracket jumpsfrom three to four figures and movie con-tracts are in the offing.

Detroit Ops LearnSame Old Lesson:Talent Draws 'EmDETROIT, July 7.-The lesson that the

public wants entertainment and is will-ing to pay extra for it is being learnedby a number of Detroit operators, withthe near -downtown Harry's Show Bar thelatest to try to get along without it andthen deckle to reconvert.

Spot had a fairly successful history asa leading Woodward Avenue lounge fortwo years or more. About two monthsback, the new owners, Morrie Usher andSans Komisaruk, who took over in Jan-uary, decided to bid for patronage withjust a band, dropping out the entertain-ment features of the usual four -pieceunit and alternating pianist which hadcharacterized the spot. Thereby it cutout Use cabaret tax.

After two months of that the ownerschose to put in an entertainment policyagain and now going for dancing, too.This is the first time a lounge of thischaracter has offered dancing as anadded attraction locally. Emphasishitherto has been upon the talent appealprimarily. The experiment is beingwatched with interest by other oper-ators. First week's results showed anice increase in business, despite warmweather,

Simultaneously a switch to an enter-tainment policy instead of straightmusic has doubled business in the pastfew weeks at the Rosedale Cocktail Bar,located in a high-class residential neigh-borhood in tile extreme northwesternpart of the city. Spot formerly used apianist or a musical duo, wills a stagebar, but Jules Klein, booking agent, soldMassager John Jatros on the idea of put-ting In a regular entertainment policy,and the customers are virtually blockingtraffic on Grand River Road now, park-ing their cars near the spot.

The switch brought a 100 per centboost in trade despite the impositionof .the amusement tax, which did notapply before, and with the general trendof local show business downward. Spotcurrently has the Dave Wilbourne Trio,who combine singing and novelties withtheir musical work.

No. 1 PreferencesThe balloteers showed exactly the same

I. first honors to Ted Saucier (Waldorf),Carle Erbe (Zanzibar), the Waldorf-

', Astoria, the Zanzibar, Robert K. Christen -berry (Astor) and Sherman Billingsley(Stork Club). Category by category.however, the editors -writers aimed theirsights on several newcomers or old stand-bys for second and third place honorsand did a lot of upsetting this year.

In the most effective night club flackdepartment, Carl Erbe (Zanzibar) coppeda huge 43 points, the same score heachieved last year while partnering withSpencer Hare (who has since turnedincite). Then the scribblers went on tohand Dorothy Gulman (Leon & Eddie's)14 points for second place, and IvanBlack Associates (Cafes Society) thethird honors with 13 points.

Saucier Walks AwayTed Saucier (Waldorf-Astoria) walked

away with a terrific score of 48 pointsas No. 1 guy in the most effective hotelpress agent division and thus betteredconsiderably his 1943-'44 tally of 37points. The surprise of this category,however, is Frank Law (Belmont -Plaza,Capitol) who plucked 26 points for sec-ond place honors. In doing this hestepped over Shop Henkin (New Yorker)who polled 13 points. Last year Henkintook second with 20 points, quite a featsince he had Just returned from thearmy, and Law placed third with only10 points. This year, however, not onlydid Law zoom ahead but at the sametime his Belmont -Plaza did well, hoteltying for third, where It was well downamong "the others" last year. Law'ssurge is undoubtedly due to the newassignment he was given this year-publicizing the Carnival Room of theCapitol.

Walter Liberace, or plain Liberace ashe is now billed, is a trumped-up,strictly commercial "concert" pianist.Ivory -pounder shows plenty of technicalskill but little life end color in his work,possibly because he makes no serious at-tempt at the concert style.

Pair wear peasant cos-tume and esehevi the by -now hackneyedflamenco tapping and gypsy skirt -work.They dance with vigor and obvious pleas-ure in their task, doing a kind of skip-ping flirtation dance. Stuff and deliveryis highly refreshing and team would bea good bet for a room seeking somethingdifferent in Spanish terps. However,whether they have other dances of thetype in their repertoire cannot be re-ported, for they showed only one whencaught Tuesday night (3). Large crowdloved 'em.

Despite the fact that the current tal-ent layout here reportedly is paid 31,500over any previous show, the cast-PatsyKelly, Barry Wood and Eddie Peabody,backed by Eddie Oliver's ork-doesn'tpack the entertainment punch or mar-quee value of a couple of previous revues.

Barry Wood's radio work merits a bigovation when he hits the floor and guygoes on from there to prove himselfa strong nitery single. Unassuming andgenial, Wood socks across a quartet ofwell -selected tunes.

Patsy Kelly butts in on Wood's rou-tine, coming in from the ringside andfrom then on it's strictly slapstick, butthe swank diners here eat it up. Workingwith Wood as straight, La Kelly does asmell routine which falls a bit flat asit isn't too smooth a vehicle for thefemmedian.

Paramount, New York(Reviewed Wednesday Evening. July 4)Paramount has done itself a job with

the new bill, one of the most entertainingnow available on Stem.

Stan Kenton ork (17) opens with themaestro at the piano on a jumper. Bandsounds pretty rough on this number andalso later on for ork canary's song. Other,wise, tho, it shapes up fine as a well -drilled outfit with plenty of stage -showvalues. June Christie, cute little bandthrush, follows with This or That onwhich she does a first-rate selling joband draws solid mitt. Kid's personalityand voice, which has the quality of amuted trombone, merits a second stancein the show.

Mack and Desmond, playing returndate here, are a couple of live -wire hoof-ers and goofers. Terp work is fast, mod-ern and top-drawer. Boy's piano spooferyalso Is swell. Altogether, a sock act.

Band follows with a kind of fugue inswing -tempo which permits Kenton aslow piano cadenza. Number is interest-ing musically and more should be donewith it. Kenton doesn't quite finish offhis chore on it. Can be turned into a sub-stantial item. Good reception.

Leader follows with a gag St. James In-firmary which pulls many gut -giggles.Sidemen kibitz at every line and outfithas been well rehearsed in this biz sothat effect is both funny and stimulating.Juicy palming.

Gene Howard, ork's male vocalist.comes on for a couple of ballads. Kiddoes a good job of crooning in his bigvoice and pleases with his personality.Stage manlier needs pointing -up. He's alittle awkward on the bows and en-trances -exits.

Wesson Brothers, also playing returndate, are on next. Some of their materialIs new, including one bit which Abbottand Costello, up the street, also are using.Act draws no yocks but does get a good,steady crop of laughs, and good mining.Pair still suffer from chronic tendencyof not knowing when to finish a bit or anencore. Also some of their material stillIs offensive. For example, doing thestandard big -words mumbo -jumbo rou-tine, labeled as their "impression" of whatwent on at the United Nations Conferencein San Francisco, is not only snide goos-ing of what most of the audience take veryseriously (and, hence, is bad showman-ship), but it also conveys a faint sugges-tion of political purpose, as do severalotherlouches in their material. This kindof thing is perfectly proper if the act Isavowedly devoted to one "cause" or an-other, but in what purports to be a rou-tine of pure comic entertainment it Isbad teats, If not worse.

Louis Jordan's Tympany Five closes.Jordan has never been better. His elec-tric showmanship draws top reactionsfrom the moment he comes on until hewinds up with his torrid Caldonia. Lastnumber, where Jordan wisely sings onlytwo short choruses of the over -used tune,ends with Manhattan Deba (2) joininghim for a hoofing finish. It is a greatend to an excellent show. Business big.Picture is You Came Along. Paul Ross.

Roxy, New York(Reviewed Wednesday Afternoon,

July 4)New Rosy bill supporting Nob Hill

doesn't really get going until the midwaypoint. Until then, Abbott and Costello,assisted by Joe Kirk for one bit, go thruthe stele "fighting" routine for a fewlaughs, and A. & C. alone trot out theold switch on the whale -apples -Jonahstory. This they handle very well, C. do-ing himself especially proud as a picked -on ahnook. But it sort of peters out andBob Mathews, warbler from the air show,is not strong enough to keep the pacegoing. Mathews reveals a good larynx,nice stage presence and okay deliverybut he's styled himself so heavily in thecrooner tradition, plus gobs of schmaltz,that his act runs downhill.

Show gets a powerful shot in the armfrom next number, involving the dancingensemble and Hormones Williams Trio.Production is built around Bahia and issuperbly done. Number Is a lesson Inwhat can be accomplished with simplehangings plus imagination in the use ,oflighting. The usual wonderful Roxy cos-tumes help, of course. Ensemble doesbang-up hoofing job on Latin patternsand number segues into the acrobatictrio. Tumblers are in top form and drawa sock hand.

Costello returns with Professor Melon -head, also from the air show. The pairproceed to yank belly -laughs out of themob with their standard word -difficul-ties. Routine reaches its high point whenthey start munching crackers and spew-ing them at each other and receives itstopper when Paul Ash ork men raisecolored umbrellas. That should havebeen the exit but Melonhead stays onfor a mild, anti -climactic bit. Altogether,however, it's meaty vaude stuff.

Connie Haines-clad in a gown thatmakes her look like she's being pre-ceded by a crowd follows to thrush twojumpers and a ballad. The ballad isdraggy but the tempo tunes are sock,especially the second, A Kiss Goodnight,which she sold to a faretheewell.

Gal could have stayed on for more butinstead intros the line in the Roxy'sstandard ball -walking routine. Numberhas its usual quota of real and fakespills and nets top mining.

A. & C, close with the old burly routinebuilt around "Who." "What," "Why," thebaseball version. Patter is sure-fire andpair handles it like the veterans theyare, but routine runs much too longand desperately needs a climax. As itstands, it stops abruptly when A. & C.bow and powder off, leaving crowd highand dry. Lines when caught.

here after Welk's years of ballroom stintsand theater dates, plus plenty of radiotime locally. Musically, band is evenstronger than last year, with 1111 Radtketaking over the popular boogie-woogiesection, which has been empty since thedeparture of Tommy Sheridan. Radtke,ex -Eddy Howard 88-er, makes with theflying fingers and is a solid asset. Welkcontinues to use black ink when it comesto the dance side of the ledger.

Despite the fact that Welk lost BobDonet to the army only three days beforethis opening date, he's come up with asolid seller in the croon department.BaSSMall Bob Cromer can make like TheVoice and, besides, he and Welk haveworked out a nifty parody, plus props,on Sinatra that sent Cromer off-stage tostrong mining. Youthful Joan Mowerydid three current pops to an okay hand.

Eleanor Teeman's cleating is aboveaverage but it's her animation thruouther stint that assures the payees' palm -whacking. Gal is smoothest when she'sspinning across stage while cleating.

Tommy Hanlon Jr., and Jean are youngIn showbiz, but when it comes to comedythey act like old hands. Some of theirmaterial is dated, but there's plenty offresh stuff, and the male's exuberant de-livery puts even the oldies across. Shouldwork out better closing than the milktrick.

The Three Radio Aces take off wherethe Yacht Club Boys left off and do agood job of selling their comedy songs.Material Is smart and the boys haveplenty of zany actions to match. Gotplenty of laughs and a corking hand atthe closing. John Sippol.

Music Hall, New York(Reviewed Thursday Evening, July 5)Show is in the typical Music Hall man-

ner, which means at least one terrificsetting, one sock precision terps and agreat deal of color. They've pulled outthe Victor Herbert motif again and havea setting for the Dagger Dance numberfrom Nato= that's magnificent. How-ever, the dance itself, which could havebeen thrilling, Is just straight Roggeroutine on one of her off moments. Thecostumes, too, were touched by theAmerican Indian and that's about all.Rosa Sandra, soprano, handles the "con-cert" version of this assignment withoutmuch color or enthusiasm.

Second Herbert selection was ThineAlone from Eileen, which was okay inweak sort of way. They segued this intoThe Luck of Irish, which had some gutsbut not much. It served to intro, asflower -peddler, Waiter (Dare) Wahl, whodid his usual acrobatic routine with hislatest half-pint, who is okay. However.Wahl didn't get to the crowd until hewent into some straight acrobatics. Ona stage the size of the Music Hall, "cute"touches lay right on their back. It'd begood for Wahl's routine if he proved thathe's okay on some real handstands, etc.,and mixed the straight stuff with thevisual gaga all the way than.

Highlights of the next Herbert excerpt,Kiss Me Again, was the satirical dancingof Ruth Harrison and Alex Fisher. Firstnumber was a little too much like adressed -up version of Walter (Dare) Wahlto be funny, but the tango terps. as amodernistic would prance 'em, were realfun and well danced. Parts, of course,instead of being satirical, became justslapstick, but that's essential In a housethis size.

Final number was the terrific Rockettes

Ennis aggregation (5 saxes, 7 brass and4 rhythm) should please a wide range oflisteners. Ort's scorings, while not sen-sash, are plenty adequate and volume issubdued. Band gets its best tone onballads, when -the reedmen use clarys andbrassmen insert mutes. All acts got ex-cellent musical backing from the Ennismen.

(Continued from page 27)1943-'44 pelt by The Billboard the Astordeuced with 14 points and the NewYorker came in third with 8, while thePlaza and B -P were Just also-ran:. Thescoring this year means that the NewYorker improved its position at the stonetime that the Astor stood still, while twoJohnny - Come - Latches showed goodpromise for the future.

Zanzibar OvershadowsThe most effectively publicized night

club dit Lion honors were carried off bythe Zanzibar, which put everything inthe shade with an enormous score of 58points (32 last year), the Stork Clubwas second with 19 points and Leon &Eddie's third with 13. The Cafes Societytaken together pulled 15 points but weregiven fourth place honors because thevotees broke up their choices like this:Cafe Society Uptown. 8 points; Cafe So-ciety Downtown, nothing; Cafe Society(unspecified), 7 points.

This would indicate that the twoCafes Society, taken as one operationwhich they are, did not register tooheavily in the balloteers' minds. Or itcould be read to mean that Cafe SocietyUptown received the major flocking tothe neglect of its Village brother.

Stork Club SlipsWhile the Stork Club this year ran

second, the same as in 1943-'44, Its scoreof 19 points is considerably below its1943-'44 tally of 29 points. That yearthe Zanzibar beat It out for first placewith only three digits. This year, how-ever, there is a 59 -point spread betweenthe Zanzibar's 58 and the Stork's 19, in-dicating that Mr. Billingsley's saloon islosing ground very rapidly. This is sup-ported by the fact that until the Zan-zibar nosed it out last year the Storkwon first place two years running, 1942-'43 and 1941-'42. It may mean thatworking editors and writers no longerfind Billingsley's blue rope so cute.

In the best publicized hotel ownerand/or manager section, Robert K.Christenberry (Astor) repeated his winof last year (when he yanked 32 points)by getting a sweet 34. Second winner isEmil Ronny (of the Belmont -Plazachain) with 9 points and Maria Kramer(Edison, Lincoln and so on) with 8.Ronay's showing could be interpreted tobe the result of Law's heavy fleckingfor the B -P and the Capitol, for lastyear the hotel op appeared in sixthplace. One of the surprises of this year'spoll by The Billboard Is the fade pulledby Lucius Boomer (Waldorf-Astoria)who came in second in 1843-44.

points.Billingsley NC -Introit

In the best publicized night clubowner and/or manager category. Sher-man Billingsley (Stork Club) walked offwith 42 points for first place, whileMonte Proser (Copacabana) won secondplace with 16 points. Third and fourthplaces were carried by Carl Erbe-JoeHoward (Zanzibar) and Leon Enken-Eddie Davis (Leon and Eddie's) with 17and 12 points respectively. The degreeof identification earned individually bythese co -owners makes interesting read-ing. Erbe (who besides being the Zanzy'sflack is also un operator) received 8Points worth of personal mention, ex-actly the same as did his partner JoeHoward, while the team taken togetheras one, received only 1 point. On theother hand, Leon Enken and Eddie Davistaken together earned 3 points, but Leonalone pulled 3 while his partner got 6.

This category was relatively stable inthe first two places, Billingsley andProser having come In No. 1 and 2 lastyear also. However, Billingsley this yeardropped down 13 points from his hugescore of 55 in 1943,44, while Proserearned exactly the same points this yearas last. In 1943-'44 Lou Walters (LatinQuarter), Barney Josephson (Cafes So-ciety) and Billy Rose (Diamond Horse-shoe) all tied for third place with 10points each. That year neither Erbe norLeon Enken were even mentioned asowners. while Joe Howard placed fourthand Eddie Davis seventh. This year LouWalters slipped to fifth place with 8

points, Billy Rose to sixth with 7 pointsand Barney Josephson to a seventh -placetie with John Perona (El Morocco), bothgetting 6 points. These switches, in-terpreted together, would indicate thata lot of changes are taking place in the

Asher Showing UnusualStill a third unusual showing was made

by Sidney Ascher Associates. As a hotelflack, Ascher scored only 2 points but thevotees handed him another 2 (not count-ed) in the night club division. Ascherhandles no niteries, but does tub -thumpthe Henry Hudson Hotel and its operator,John Paul Stack. Last year the EH didn'tshow at all, but this year it garnered 2points; and Stack, who last year Mita sev-enth, this year moved up to fourth place,ahead of Lucius Boomer (Waldorf) andFrank Andrews (Now Yorker).

Here's the TallyFor the record, here is the tally in each

Most Effective Hotel Press Agent

Gardner Come -BackOne of the most interesting results

turned up by this year's poll was theshowing made by Hy Gardner (Astor)who came out of the army in May andwent back to tub -thumping for theBroadway hostelry. Gardner had alwaysdone well In previous polls by The Bill-board and, while his return to publicityharness came too late to put him amongthe tops this year, he nevertheless re-ceived 6 points personally, well ahead ofother hotel flacks who had all seasonto make an impression. Ills predeceasor,Vince Markee, who checked out whenGardner came back, earned a personalscore of 3 points and the Gardner-Markeecombination together 1 point, giving theentire set-up a total score of 10, Wheelsis pretty good going.

Another interesting showing wan madeby Bonnie Donahue (Plaza), who joinedthe Plaza flack -staff in late December.Miss Donahue first worked as publicityassistant to Byrne Bauer, promotion di-rector (who left about three months ago).When Prince Sergel Obolensky came induring the spring as director of public re-lations and promotion, Miss Donahuemoved up as manager of the same. In thevoting this year, the Prince personallyearned a score of 2 but Miss Donahuenetted 6, giving the combo a total tallyof 7. Considered in relation to the factthat the Plaza moved up to a tie for thirdplace (10 points) with the B -P from lastyear's fifth place, the showing made byMiss Donahue-Obolensky would seem toindicate that publicity at the Plaza is be-ginning to cook on the front burner,

Wildwood Paces A.C.In Nitery Activity

WILDWOOD, N. J., July 9.-A few sum-mers ago, nitery activity at this SouthJersey resort was just a step beyond thetaproom level. But today, with a moremetropolitan crowd of vacationers. Wild -wood figures as the top nitery center alongthe South Jersey coast. More going onutter dark here than in Atlantic City,which formerly held the midnight spot-light.

Wills the resort drawing heavily oncrowds that used to invade Atlantic City,only 30 miles away, and the general rutsof Wildwoocl followers enjoying heavierpay checks because of war jobs, the after -dark scene here looms of major impor-tance to the trade. And with various busi-ness combines collecting heavy coin toconstrmt swank hotels on the Boardwalkafter the war. Wildwood figures on takingan even greater spot in the nitery surf.

Talent budgets are way up, both forniteries and cocktalleries. With no ocean-front amusement piers to attract thethrongs, Hunt's Ocean Pier being burnedto the ground two years ago, the ring-side table or musical bar appears firston the agenda for the pleasure -seekers.

Ipresented a complete sleight act, endingwith an original bottle routine, andbacked up with an excellent 30 -pieceA.G.F band

"We played across Germany and arenow in Czechoslovakia, not too far fromPrague. I appeared in several programshere with Marlene Dietrich, also with aUSO unit which had Ben Ross, enlace;Virginia Dare, dancer and baton twirler,and Conner, clever xylophonist. Theunits are now made up of a combo ofG.I. and Belgium talent, and they aretops.

"At Spa our entire unit was nearlywiped out by a buzz bomb. I've sweatedout plenty of them and found them verynerve-wracking.

"Haven't seen Christopher or White-house as yet as I am in another territory.The only piece of magic I've seen so farwas a beautiful, large -size feather dart,very showy, that one of the Belgiumacts found in a home near Nurenberg,Germany. Altbo I've been In better thanfour years and am nearly 38, my pointscore is still not high enough."

That is the story told by The Bill-board's Seventh Annual Hotel -Night ClubPublicity Poll. The ladles and gentle-men of the press are sensitive to pub-licity. The fact that the first whinersthis year are the name as last year speaksfor itself. But the changes made else-where point the way to the need forbetter publicity even among the leaders.

Wonder Shows of AmericaGRAND FORKS, N. D., July 7.-Good-

man Wonder Shows of America camehere for the first June Festival attemptedby the Grand Forks Fair Association totake the place of the annual fair whichwas halted in 1941 by travel restrictions,and ran into one of the worst of theRed River Valley's "bad -weather" weeksof the season.

Setting up June 25, shows opened thefollowing night with fair response dur-ing a cold evening. Wednesday was fairand the night good until a deluge sentspectators home about mid -evening.Thursday brought a fair day's business,but Children's Day, Friday, was post-poned to Saturday. which brought morebad weather.

The pay gate was new to Grand Forksand drew considerable criticism butfailed to keep away any who actuallywanted to walk the pike. Show and rideprices, too, were criticized, but becauseof the lack of outdoor entertainmenthero for the last several years the jumpfrom the old-time scale to wartimeprices was sudden.

Location of the carnival on the usuallot several blocks from the fairgroundsgrandstand, and with no exhibits or con-cessions along the way, was not goodfor either the grandstand or carnivalcompany.

Shows went from Grand Forks toMinot to appear at the Minot State FairJuly 2-7 and then is scheduled for Moor-head, Minn., sponsored by. the AmericanLegion. R. G. DAVIES.

WON, HORSE & UPP COMBINED CIRCUSAn Equine and Canine Paradox-The Show With a Leaf of Gold

By Starr De Belle

Dairy Dell, Wis.July 7, 1945.

Dear Pat:After spending 40 years In the circus

business, can you imagine the bosses ofthis show letting some towners out day -and -date them? It happened at HayMeadow, Wis., last Monday. We Sundayedin the burg, and as always has been thecustom, we invited the editor of TheHay Meadow Weekly Hay Stoker, who isalso the burg's mayor, to be the show'sguest at the cookhouse Sunday. Thecookhouse always has enough food forvisitors on Sundays because most of ourpeople get rooms in town.

The editor -mayor was high in hispraises regarding the scoff, and advisedthat his daughter is a trouper at heartand an accomplished dramatic actresswho Is taking her hometown by storm.He added that his daughter and his wifewere heartbroken because they weren'table to act lately due to lightning strik-ing the cowbarn theater, burning it tothe ground. As a special favor lie asked,would the bosses loan him their horsetent to rehearse in on the followingnight. He insisted on the top being thehorse tent because it carried the aromanecessary to make a barn opery a success.Furthermore, he stated that a rehearsalwouldn't conflict with the circus, andthat after the next meeting of the townboard he would suggest that a check for

$4, the amount paid for the show's li-cense, be refunded.

We used the home top Sunday. leavingstraw and all as it was when the hamhocks took over on Monday morning.We had a good matinee that day, withall of the cow -shed actors and actressesattending on passes furnished by themayor's daughter. At night the re-hearsal turned out to be the reel stuff.Headed by the high school bend, thetowners marched past our marquee tothe horse top to see their sons anddaughters act. Not less than. 20 nativesacted as guides by announcing the pity,Polly of the Circus, and how to get tothe tent. So Polly played, with all horseand menagerie aroma effects, to fourpacked houses, due to the smallness ofthe top, while our circus played theworst bloomer Of the season. The hickshow opposition didn't start its last per-formance untli after everything was offthe lot except the horse top and wagon.The boss tried to kill their last house byshilling in everyone on the show withthe understanding that we walk outafter the first act, but the mayor'sbeautiful daughter and mother gave usthe ice by claiming we were professionalpeople, and were they to recognize pro-fessionals they would lose their amateurstanding.

Moves DespiteCrew Shortage

Harrisburg average with 3Monday shows-biz off on4th despite sunshine

READING, Pa., July 7.-Turnawayhouses have been noticeable by their ab-sence since the Ringling circus com-pleted its banner engagements at Wash-ington and Baltimore, the rough weatherhitting first at Wilmington, Del., and ithas been touch and go since.

Philadelphia was under the 1944 stand,which was almost super -sensational, andthe drop in biz apparently didn't botherthe big -wigs to any great extent. Phila-delphia's War Bond Night turned in asock $1,250,000 in "E" sales, but afterthat the show was plagued by Inclementweather. Even so, the cashiers werequite busy,

Can it be moved on overnight jumps?That was the big question as observerseyed the undermanned crews. Sundaygave the show ample time to get to Har-risburg, Pa., for a 2 p.m. matinee Monday(2), and night shows were scheduledand given at 7 a.ncl. 9:30. After the mati-nee Tuesday, the show was pulled andthe last wagon was on its flat at 8 p.m.,so the matinee was on time in Reading,Pa., July 4.

This answered the big question-it canbe moved!

The four performances in Harrisburgnetted an average of three-quarters ca-pacity, ample to show a sizable profit.

Reading proved a disappointment. De-spite perfect weather, the matinee wasonly three-quarters filled and the nightshow a. little better than half. Thurs-day's matinee was three -fifths full, withthe night show a scant half, but therewere showers all that day.

It came down wet but got off in good.time for Allentown, Pa., Friday and to-day.

In order to conserve labor, the me-nagerie top Ls not being unloaded on thetwo-day stands, the wagons being cor-raled with eidewall.

Freeland ClosesAl Dean To Build

Stringer AdvanceLOS ANGELES, July 7.-Al Dean Cir-

cus moved into the barn here while For-rest Freeland developed plans for a bet-ter billing for the show, with plans tore -open in August.

During the past few weeks attendancesuffered because of short billing.

Show had an up-and-dovm run. Latein June the policy was changed to Mexi-can circus and bucked the EscalanteCirca de Mexico. At San Bernardino theshows played day and date with eachtrying to outdo the other on batty. Op-erating on a co-operative basis, the showmade a little money.

Freeland's move to close was sudden,Earlier In the week he issued dates thatwould have brought it into local terri-tory, near Glendale Wednesday (11).

Unloading was accomplishedwith speed but no directions were postedregarding location of the lot. And,strange as it may seem, no 24 -hour menwere on deck. (For the record: It was afive -mile haul to the lot.) Art Concelioand Frank McClusky found the 24 -hourmen, Col. Den Dix and Prof. AlvinWelch, resting peacefully in a hotel. Theprofessor did a double piroutte somer-sault and edited via the fire escape. Thecolonel came up with: "Mr. Concello,was waiting for you to arrive."

SALT LAKE CITY, July 7.-Intercityrivalry between Salt Lake City andOgden, Utah's two largest cities, only37 miles apart, over the celebration ofUtah's Pioneer Day, a State holiday.July 24, has ended.

For exactly 10 years they have beenbattling it out with day -and -date cele-brations, bidding against each other forrodeo attractions and rodeo stock andeventually winding up with each cor-ralling about half of the top hands. TheTurtles would form personal pools andwould split their winnings between theSalt Lake City and Ogden events.

This year the Days of '47 in Salt LakeCity, managed by Sheldon R. Brewster,has extended its celebration from July16 to 29, inclusive, while Ogden's PioneerDays, managed by Ezra J. Fjelsted, willstick to the regulation four days sur-rounding July 24.

As a result, the Salt Lake City Rodeo,with R. A. Richter in charge, will beheld July 18-21, after which LeoCrerner's rodeo will take over in Ogden.Only conflicting attractions will be pa-rades there July 24. The move is ex-pected to make for increased and bettercompetition in both rodeos.

Johnson's "Agin'Em" Regardless

But fair men feel that an-nuals are serving usefulpurpose in the war effort

CHICAGO, July 7.-Minutes of the fairmanagers' conference with Col. J. MonroeJohnson, chairman of the War Commit-tee on Conventions and director of theODT, reveal that Colonel Johnson wasnot in favor of allowing even countyfairs to operate this year, and that heturned thumbs down on district and re-gional fairs operating as locals, even thothey made no use of public transporta-tion facilities.

Most fair managers disagree withColonel Johnson's views, according toletters received by The Billboard. Theyknow that they can operate their fairswithout placing any load on transporta-tion facilities and they also know thatthe fairs are doing a good job in servingthe war effort in many ways.

Colonel Johnson's attitude is reflectedin the following excerpts from the min-utes of the Washington meeting:

"Colonel Johnson stated that district,regional and State fairs could not bestreamlined to operate similarly tocounty fairs and that they could notqualify to operate if they had previouslyoperated as district, regional and Statefairs, Upon a question, ho mild thatthis type of show could not operate eventhe they could do so without the use ofally railroad transportation, busses orstreet cars.

"When Colonel Johnson was askedwhat he would do it we operated againsthis ruling, his reply was, "You are toogood United States citizens to do that."Colonel Johnson further stated that hedid not want private automobiles usedto attend that class of fairs.

"It further came out that he wouldnot approve the operation of county fairsif he had the manpower to police them.

"Colonel Johnson's off -hand definitionof a county fair was one that does notdraw further than what would be con-sidered a regular trading area.

"When asked about the operation ofrace tracks, be placed the responsibilityentirely upon Mr. Byrnes. and stated thatIf he had his way, none of them wouldbe allowed to operate."

San Joaquin To Go;Last Held in 1941

LOS ANGELES, July 7.-San JoaquinCounty Fair will definitely get goingthis year, Ed Veltman, secretary, toldThe Billboard during his visit here thisweek. Voliman was here to confer withmembers of the racing committee andsecure a date. The date, which will eitherbe the last week in August or the firstIn September, is yet to be verified. Whilehere, Volinum contacted a number ofconcessionaires.

In the city with the fair secretary wereLouis Merrill, secretary of the WesternFairs Association, and .4ssemblymeri JimThorpe, long a supporter of fairs in thisState,

San Joaquin, which is one of thelargest in the State, cast aside its fairschedule in 1942. The last fair was heldin September, 1941, only a few monthsprior to Pearl Harbor.

With Vollman's fair getting under wayand racing at Santa Anita. Del Mar andother tracks set, the chances are thatother fairs will be soon announcingtheir plans to open as definite.

feature a rodeo. Northern ExhibitionShows will be on the midway.

Crops and general conditions in theterritory are good, Boiling says, and hepredicts a successful year.

"Our fair board feels that it Would bea mistake to abandon the fair," saysBohling, "and that it would be betterto curtail and put on a fair each year."

DDT Looking IntoRail Shipment ofHorses to TracksWASHINGTON, July 7.-Col. .1. Mon-

roe Johnson, director of the CDT, whowas asked by spokesmen of the fair man-agers last month why horse racing waspermitted to operate while regional fairswere being banned, is now going to de-termine whether horse racing constitutesa strain on transportation facilities.

At Johnson's behest, a survey is nowunder way to determine the amoiiiitoftransportation involved in shipments ofrace horses to and from race tracks. Rail-roads have been asked to furnish the in-formation. Orders restricting the trans-portation of racing animals had beensuspended when the Mice of War Mobi-lization and Reconversion removed theracing ban.

The ODT pointed out Thursday (6)that the transportation situation istighter than ever as the result of rede-ployment of troops and equipment to thePacific Theater. Even with the new lim-itations placed on the amount of ad-vance time for railroad reservations, thecrisis has not eased.

Johnson looks to public co-operationin meeting the crisis and still indicatesthat every effort will be made to avoidrationing of travel. At the present out-look there is no need for rationing, it ispointed out.

Meanwhile the War Committee on Con-ventions is receiving and acting on largenumbers of applications for permissionto run local fairs. The ODT is pursuingthe procedure of getting detailed infor-mation In border -line cases, but in caseswhere fairs are definitely local and causeno strain on transportation, decisionsare swift and favorable,

By Bill BakerCommunications to 25 Opera Place,

Cincinnati, 1A DECISION banning pitchmen from

downtown Detroit parking lots, wherethey have been an institution for dec-ades, was rendered last week by theMichigan State Supreme Court. Case wasbrought by Herman Lavin, who operatesa parking lot at the head of MonroeAvenue which has Song been a meetingpoint for pitchmen in Detroit. Case wasoriginally heard by Circuit Judge ThomasMaher, who granted a conviction in thecase in Recorders Court. Case was thenappealed to the Wayne County CircuitCourt, where Judge Ira W. Jayne ruledthat the city ordinance under which theconviction had been granted was uncon-stitutional. Now the State SupremeCourt has overruled Judge Jayne andgranted the right of Detroit to preventsuch pitching.

Citicy's Thriller,A Listless Affair,

Fails To Pull 'EmCINCINNATI, July 0.-Cavalcade of the

West, combination thrill show and rodeofeaturing William (Bill) Boyd, of Hop -along Cassidy flltn fame, fizzled like awet fire cracker on its three-day run atCrosby Field, home of the CincinnatiReds, Friday thru Sunday (8-8).

Promoted by Harry Hartman, sportsannouncer and an ad exec of StationWCPO here, and enacted by two Cin-cinnati attorneys, Sheppard Klein andLouis R. Scheer, the event attracted onlymediocre crowds, despite a heavy news-paper and radio campaign and liberalpublicity in the local dallies. Word ofmouth hurt the box office.

Opening Friday afternoon pulledaround 1,500 patrons, with the nightshow attracting around 5,000. Saturdaynight saw the biggest crowd, when 6,400passed thru the turnstiles. Saturdaymatinee brought out 2,000. Sunday mat-inee saw about 3,800 in the stands, witha similar crowd for the night show. Big-gest fizzle was the extra Saturday mid-night show, which attracted barely 1,000patrons. Prices were scaled 80 cents forkiddies and $1.25 for adults on generaladmission. Reserved box seats went for$2.20, but this section was filled withhuge voids at each performance.

It is estimated that the total nut onthe show was around $18,000, with Boyd

The show's backers are figuredto drop It neat $5,000 on the deal, ac-cording to conservative estimates.

Rodeo end of the layout was directedby E. Pardee, with Jack Hoist, bar per-forator, looking after the thrill end ofthe setto. Rodeo stock and talent waslimited, and the show as a whole wasilly produced, altho the layout featuredsuch solid turns as Eddie Polo, its his600 -foot slide for life; Starlight Revue,four -girl aerial act; Jack Hoist, in hisnovelty bar turn, and Jimmy Martin'sbus leap in a speedy jallopy. Poor pro-duction plus the absence of a gent withsavvy to handle the mike made for toomany hitches and lengthy delays to makefor good entertainment.

Hardest Job of the show went to thetwo clowns, Smiley Daly and FrankleLittle, who worked like Trojans to keepthe restless patrons pacified and amused.

Mass. and Wis. Pass BillsCHICAGO, July 7.-Massachusetts has

I a new State cigarette amendment whichincludes vending machine operators inthe retail trade, andthe hotly contested.

k anti -slot bill in Wisconsin is now chap-ter 374 in the State laws. Otherwise

.... legislative reports this week are veryscarce. The soft drink tax bill finally

& passed both houses of the Alabama Leg-aS and will be something for soft

drink vending operators to consider.Then the Alabama Legislature adjourned

F June 30.In the important coin machine States

of Illinois and Missouri, the Illinois Leg-islature adjourned July 1, while the

l`Missouri Legislature recessed until Sep-tember. 4. Apparently no coin machine

iv,. legislation was passed in either of these' States. In fact, the Illinois Legislature

was almost silent on the subject of coinmachines.

Mass. Cig Bill PassedThe Massachusetts cigarette tax bill,

which originated in the House, finallybecame chapter 547 in the State laws.

The Ohio Legislature took a recessfrom June 29 to July 6. In Wisconsin thenew anti -slot law went into effect June20 and officials of the State BeverageCommission charged with enforcing thenew regulations are reported to havegone into action. About 30 investigators

.4 are reported to have been put in thefield.

The State administration is reportedto be interpreting the new law as ap-

,*plying even to pinball offering freegames. Salesboards and similar devicesare banned under the new law also. The

..7Wisconsin tourist business is raising amighty howl against the new regula-

, tions and it is expected that during theremainder of the summer much opposi-tion will gather.

Licenses DropA recent federal tax report shows that

e the gaming device fee was paid on 4,542machines in Wisconsin during the fiscal

'year which ended June 30. This com-pares with the gaming licenses paid on5,600 machines in Wisconsin the pre-vious fiscal year.

The political agitation about the newWisconsin anti -gaming law is kept in the

S limelight by an investigation of mem-f. of the Legislature on charges of

a bribe being accepted by one of thetk.rneinbers. Reportedly, every member ofrthe Legislature is to be questioned before

New FieldsBy Walter W. Hurd

A RECENT trade report showingri what one manufacturing liens isdoing in the coin -operated washingmachine field suggests that manyother fields of possible new expan-sion are open to the coin machineindustry. Many new ideas will besuggested during the coming monthsas the nation and the industry it-self move toward general recon-version.

The new fields for expansion inthe use of coin machines are likelyto attract much more attentionthan the more staple lines of theindustry during the first few yearsof the post-war era.

Statistics on post-war plans andambitions, which The Billboard hasgathered in the last year or so, haveled to the general suggestion that inthe first few years in the post-warera the coin machine industry as awhole should double its gross vol-ume as compared with the pre-warperiod. This suggestion that theindustry may be able to double itstotal pre-war volume Is based onthe anticipation that the nationwill continue to make great indus-trial progress and that no generalbusiness depression will occur.

The war has stimulated interestin massy of the new possible fieldsIn the use of coin machines. It ap-pears that the, lack of general laun-dry services thruout the country hasgreatly stimulated the interest anduse of coin -operated washing ma-chines during the war. Almost with-out notice the use of coin -operatedwashing machines has grown thelast few years. Probably BendixHome Appliances, Inc., is leading inthe new push for post-war business.It is reliably reported that about10,000 of these washing machinesare now in use in New York alone,A big operating corporation hasbeen ionised there. Bendix is saidto now have seven or eight specialtesting operations in as many citiesin order to try out the idea thoroly

and see whether it is good for post-war business.

Tile market and trade reviews is-sued by The Billboard have re-peatedly called attention to the factthat the biggest field of expansionin coin machines after the war islikely to be in the refrigerated vend-ing machine field. This will includeall types of refrigerated machinessuch as drink dispensers, ice-creamvenders, frozen food venders andpossibly refrigerated candy cabinetsfor stores.

In fact, many new fields for re-frigerated types of vending ma-chines are being suggested. almostweek by week these days.

While the nationally popular jukebox will expand its use, the realexpansion in the music field will beis the establishing of new types ofmusic services. A new term, whichThe Billboard will soon introduce tothe trade, will relate to the use ofmusic in merchandising. Even a lotof department stores arc findingways to use music In order to helpsell goods. Many new types of re-cording devices are also being puton the market and the coin machineindustry is certain to find some wayto adapt these recording mechan-isms to the coin -operated principal.

One of the biggest dreams of post-war expansion that we have sug-gested to the trade is the installingof coin meter boxes in the home inorder to enable the average familyto buy on installment or use newelectric appliances by depositing acoin in the meter box. Industrialleaders have suggested this idea as apossible way to get facsimile de-vices and certain types of FM musicservices into the home in shortorder.

During the coming months thenews columns of The Billboard andits special bulletins will continue toreport and analyse many of the newexpansion opportunities in thetrade.

News in Brief

VENDING MACHINE grocerystores are a definite post-war innovation.A Denver manufacturer has already per-fected a unit to dispense dry packagedand frozen foods from a coin -operatedmachine. Operators see apartment build-ings as possible additional locations.

JUKE BOXES and other amuse-ment machines were excepted In a recentorder from the WPB amending orderL-265 governing electronic devices.Amended. order recommended by theRadio Industry Advisory Committee.

CANDY SHORTAGE, as a resultof sugar scarcity, won't be affectedgreatly by new WPB order allowing un-limited production of sugar from beetmolasses. Trade views step as "scrapingthe bottom of the barrel."

VITAMIN -FORTIFIED candygiven new impetus by Quartermaster of-ficial who says the candy may replacevitamin pills and capsules after the war.Food and Drug Act, ordering printing onlabels of simple directions for dosage,goes into effect October 10.

CUBAN CANDY plants reportthat they may be forced to close if some-thing isn't done to remedy sugar short-age. Any hope of obtaining relief for

U. S. supply by purchasing Cuban sugaris gone.

Krug promises simplifiedpriority system will comeinto use starting in July

WASHINGTON, July 7.-The War Pro-duction Board's general program for re-conversion had set July 1 as a. turningPoint in its important new plan. Mann-lecturing industries of various kindswere watching the changes during theweek to see what new development inthe materials field would show up.

July 1 was the date for the beginningof the "open ending" policy in thematerials field. The plan was startedaccording to the program and is nowoperating successfully, it was reportedby officials of WPB. The plan simplygives manufacturers the privilege of buy-ing materials in the open market asthey can get them for making civiliangoods that are not still under a specificban. Suppliers of critical materials arostill required to fill priority orders andorders for the war goods program. Thenew plan does remove a lot of the redtape regulations that manufacturers had.to face during the three years of warwhen they wanted to buy materials formaking any civilian product.

Transition Period.7. A, Krug, chairman of WPB, publicly

announced the general policy of theboard in a statement June 30. He saidthat the general idea is to observe a sixmonths transition period from July 1 toDecember 31 and the policy of theboard will he to "give business an oppor-tunity to adjust its operations to thenew system which will go into erectafter January 1."

This plan for general business isunderstood to correspond with what isreported to be the general outlook forthe coin machine manufacturing Indus-try. According to trade reports, manu-facturers In the coin machine field hopeto adjust themselves gradually to com-plete present war orders and to be readyfor producing new coin machines earlyin 1946.

Krug said that a simplified prioritysystem is necessary and will be intro-duced gradually during the period fol-lowing July 1 to the end of the year.This period will be known definitely asa transition period and the object is tohelp the industries convert to civilianproduction with as little confusion aspossible.

During the week at least five L andcontrol orders were revoked but none ofthese seem to relate directly to the coinMachine industry.

Important AmendmentProbably the most important control

order that was changed during the weekcame in the amended form of L-265,which was issued June 28. This Im-portant control order has been of greatconcern to the juke box industry be-cause it controls the production oftubes, speakers and other electronicequipment.

While the newly amended form ofL-265 relaxes certain provisions in theplan and. also authorizes manufacturersin the electronic industry to go underthe spot plan. yet a list of exceptions inthe amended order definitely mentionscoin operated amusement machines in-cluding juke boxes as still under therestrictions.

Paragraph 2 under the list of excep-tions reads, "Amusement devices, coin ortoken operated, using electronic tubes."

While it will be hailed as good newsby the juke box industry that alreadyWPB has started on a program of liberal-izing L-265, yet for the time being defi-nite restrictions remain on making tubesand electronic equipment for use insnaking new juke boxes, Apparently(See TRANSITION STAGE on page 60

Vacation TradeHits Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE, July '7.-One of the big- y

gest rush tourist seasons in the historyof Wisconsin had already started byMemorial Day, according to recent re-ports. This stampede to vacation inWisconsin comes at a time when a Stateadministration has recently forced thruthe Legislature a bill to ban bell ma-chines and gaming devices thruout theState. The bill passed the LegislatureJune 19 after tourist trade interests hadput up an opposition fight against in-troduction of the bill in January.

Big reason assigned for the rush toWisconsin resorts this summer is said tobe due to a lock of train space. Peopleare compelled to go to resort sectionsnear -by rather than go some distancefront the Midwest area.

Proprietors of all types of resorts in theState have already reported they havethe prospect of many more guests thanthey can possibly handle. Even food willbe scarce to take care of the touristtrade.

Reservations began coming in in Jan-uary and all resort owners report theyare now filled up completely for Julyand August. They are appealing to firmsin the big cities to grant vacations toemployees later in the season, especiallyin the early fall so they can be handledbetter.

The resort facilities of Wisconsin in-cludes more than 6,000 lakes and 8,000miles of trout streams.

Various kinds of coin -operated amuse.ment devices, including bells and gam-ing devices, have been an important ad-junct of the summer tourist business inWisconsin for many years. The presentState administration has taken a veryunfavorable attitude toward this kind ofamusement. Even the Milwaukee CityCouncil took an open position againstbanning the games and the associationof district attorneys refused to go onrecord. against gaming devices.

Pokerino Ops of N. J.Agree on Trade CodeFor Cig Conservation

WILDWOOD, N. J., July 7.-Cigaretteshortages made it necessary for thealmost a dozen operators of Pokerinomachines at this resort to enter into agentlemen's agreement on the distribu-tion of prizes for the plays. Whensmokes were plentiful, a win broughtthe player a pack of cigarettes, withadditional packs up to a carton forhigher scores.

This season, with all operators admit-ting that they do not have enough supplies on hand to see them thru theseason, the group were brought togetherby Sam Lerner, operator of the StanleyArcade on the Boardwalk, to set up atrade code. It was agreed that couponsbe issued for each win, with two cou-pons required for a pack of cigarettes.For those players stopping with theirone win, the single coupon brings eithera cigar or a 10 -cent War Stamp. It wasalso agreed not to raise the price pergame beyond the nickel stage, somemulling the idea of putting the priceat a dime to continue the issuance of afree pack of cigarettes for each win.

In spite of the double win requiredfor a pack of smokes, the Pokerino oper-ators reported that the machine play ,e

has not decreased appreciably. Theypoint out that players are well aware .eof cigarette shortages, and promised thatIf the supply becomes plentiful againbefore the end of the season, the formerpractice of a pack of smokes to singlewinners will be restored.

wire mill warehouses In replacing, estab-lishing and increasing stocks, now thatthe CMP has been "open-ended," wereoutlined by WPB. The procedures areset forth in direction No. 4 to CMP reg-ulation No. 4, and deal with: (1) The re-placement of copper wire mill productsdelivered on authorized controlled ma-terial orders, which are in the categoriesof "warehouse stock replacement order"or "warehouse deferred (ZW) order";(2) the placement of unrated orders toestablish or increase stock; and (3) thetreatment of the several types of copperwire mill warehouse orders by controlledmaterial producers and other warehouses.By a provision of the direction, copperwire mill warehouses are no longer re-quired to file form No. 3009, except whenspecifically instructed to do so by WPB.All previous Instructions and directionsdealing with replacement, establishment,or increase of warehouse stocks have beenrevoked.

Steel InventoriesDeclining steel warehouse inventories.

In addition to the inability to replace un-rated orders on a rated basis after July 1,will limit warehouse deliveries of steel onan unrated basis in the third quarter, thesteel warehouse industry advisory com-mittee has told WPB. The two commit-tees said warehouses would be forced tolimit their unrated deliveries of eachproduct to the tonnage of that productthat they received from their suppliers onunrated orders.

Copper MaterialsPurchase of copper raw materials up to

a 30 -day inventory supply without WPBauthorization now is permitted by one ofthe several changes affecting the distri-bution of copper raw materials, the agen-cy less announced. This was done byamending direction No. 2 to copper orderNo. M-9. Formerly direction No. 2 lim-ited such acceptances to 150 pounds (cop-per content) a quarter. Other changesin the order include the issuance of di-rection No. 5, and the revocation of di-rections Nos. 1, 3 and 4. These changeswere to simplify and relax earlier restric-tions, WPB said.

Tin Still ScarceThe increasing scarcity of tin has ne-

cessitated the broadening of scrap salvagemeasures to include all industrial tin canusers, thru an amendment to orderNo. M-326, WPB says. The amendmentrequires all manufacturers who use thecontents of tin cane in their manufactur-ing operations to adopt tin can salvagemeasures. The used tin cans must beproperly prepared for salvage and deliv-ered to the local salvage collection au-thorities or designated tin scrap collec-tion dealers, WPB says.

Those AutomobilesPersons desiring to enter the automo-

bile manufacturing field and establishedproducers desiring increases in assignedproduction quotas should apply under theprovisions of order No. PR 25, WPB an-nounces. At the same time, WPB saysthat purchasers of new passenger auto-mobiles authorized for production in thelast half of 1945 will have to be contentwith four tires. Provisions for the au-thorization of new producers, the increasein ;assigned quotas and the limitation onthe number of new tires with which anew car may bo equipped are containedin amendments to general limitation or-der No. L -2-G, governing automotivevehicle production.

Berlo Vend. ReadiesTheater Location forHot Summer Biz

ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 7. -Preparingfor full-scale operations in the post-warperiod, William Bornfriend, local repre-sentative of the Berle Vending Company,is readying the location of candy ma-chines and stands in the lobby of theColonial Theater. Berle Company, withheadquarters in Philadelphia, specializesin the placement of vending machinesin movie houses and theaters.

In the third quarter of 1945 will be in-creased to 25 per cent of the 1944 use forthat purpose, compared with 20 per centallocations of the 1944 use in the secondquarter of this year.

New Rating PlanThe present AA system of priority rat-

ings will continue to apply to textiles andrelated Ream, and there will be no gen-eral changeover to the new MM ratingbend. WPB announced. The NM ratingwill apply to textiles only where this rat-ing is given for nontextile items that usesome textile components, such as beltingin a tank. In this case, the MM ratingwill be treated as AM, which is top mil-itary priority rating. The present AArating will be retained for textiles, it wasexplained, because the AA rating systemallows a degree of flexibility for textilepriorities not possible under a single MMrating.

Zinc ScarceAllocations of slab zinc will be author-

ized only to fill preferred orders afterAug. 1, because of a continued tightnessin the zinc supply and the necessity forprotecting essential needs, WPB has an-nounced. Allocations issued prior to thefirst of each month will be valid only tothe 10th of that month, however, and anymetal thus released and not needed forother preferred orders would be availablefor distribution on unrated orders, WPBsays. These changes in zinc distributionhave been put into effect thru an amend-ment of the zinc order No. M-11.

Lead AllocationsAn increase of 20 per cent in the third

quarter lead allocations for automotivebatteries over the second quarter alloca-tions has been granted thru an amend-ment to the lead order No. M-38, WPBsaid. This means that 900,000 more bat-teries were scheduled for third quarterproduction. Despite the continued tight-ness of the lead supply. WPB'szinc division declared that this increaseIs necessary in order that sufficient bat-teries will be available to cover winter re-quirements. Thru the amendment toNo. M-88, lead allocations for batteries

Some Orders OutBecause they will become obsolete with

the complete "open -ending" of the CMP,two directions to CMP regulations havebeen removed effective July 1 by theWPB. The revoked directions are direc-tion No. 44 (steel not needed by producersor distributors to fill authorized con-trolled material orders) to CMP regula-tion No. 1, and direction No. 5 (disposalof controlled materials procured by awarehouse or distributor for his stockfrom idle and excess inventories) to CMPregulation.

Action was taken byamending direction No. 8 to PR -1. Theamended direction further says that in-ventory restrictions of PR -1 do not pro-hibit delivery or acceptance of such MR0items. It previously had said that inven-tory restrictions of PR -1 do not apply toitems for which a person gets a ratingunder PR -24. to jigs, dies and fixturesobtained pursuant to direction No, 25 toCMP regulation No. 5, or to capital equip-ment and jigs, dies and fixtures obtainedwithout priorities assistance.

Hartford Cig Situash onMend as Consumer Gives UpHARTFORD, Conn., July 7. - The

cigarette situation in Hartford this weekappears to be getting back to normal,with fewer lines of waiting customersand a few consumers even reportingpackages of cigarettes in plain sight onthe shelves of retail outlets.

Wholesale cigarette dealers, however,were willing to say that the shortage is"only a little better, still not 100 percent." One dealer's explanation of theapparent paradox was that many smokershave tired of waiting in Hue and arejust not trying any more. At any rate,the combination of more cigarettes forsale and fewer consumers realizing theyare available results in more packagespiling up on shelves, he said.

OPA LiberalizedTireRation To Boom BizIn Summer Locations

WASHINGTON, July 7. -With rede-ployed troops from Europe being givenfurloughs If sent thru the United Statesto the Pacific, coupled with the hypoedtravel intentions of the American vaca-tioner, the liberalized tire rationing forJuly by the OPA will come in prettyhandy.

The returning their families andfriends, have indicated a ready accept-ance of this additional tire ration. ThruJuly the Office of Price Administrationwill continue to issue more passengercar casings than are being currently pro-duced. This liberalized ration means thatamusement seekers the country over willbe able to drive out into the countryand to the outskirts of the cities topatronize roadside spots and locationswhere coin -operated amusement equip-ment abounds. Even if they do confinethemselves within the city proper onthe amusement tours it stands to reasonthat more locations will be visited if theyknow the rubber which takes them thereIs going to hold out.

To Meet Summer NeedsAnnouncing that 2,600,000 tires would

be available for rationing to B and Ccard motorists next month -the samonumber as in June-OPA said it woulddip Into stocks in order to meet sum-mer weather replacement needs.

"The tire situation remains seriouslytight," the agency announced. "We arerationing more tires than current pro-duction warrants by borrowing from sup-plies for the hot weather months when arecord number of tire failures may beexpected."

Production in the next three monthswill be about 2,000,000 passenger tiresmonthly, OPA reported.

Truck and bus tire quotas will belarger than the June totals. OPA said,but will continue far short of .needsand are unlikely to be increased in thenear future.

eration unit manufacturer, lists refrig-erated vending machines among users ofthe units. Recent trade advertising ofGeneral Electric also shows two coin boxtiming devices recommended for washingmachines, etc.

INJUNCTION -Circuit Courtgranted a temporary injunction restrain-ing officials of Lansing, Mich., from col-lecting new city tax on juke boxes andpinballs while considering appeal ofoperators for a permanent injunction.

WASHING MACHINES -Reli-able trade reports say that at least10,000 coin -operated washing machinesare in use in New York City now. Tradereports suggest that as many as 7,500are in use in Chicago.

Changes in war control orders arebeing made almost daily, but the plan isto prevent any rush among manufactur-ing industries and to distribute materialsamong the various industries as well aspossible.

The spot plan control order PR -25 Isfollowed in series by PR -26, PR -27,PR -28 and PR -29. Each of these ordersIs designed to give special assistance tomanufacturers facing certain conditionsin meeting materials to make civiliangoods. WPB officials frankly admit thatthere is likely to be confusion about thedifferent orders and how each is to beapplied and In some cases there may beapparent conflict in the meaning of theorders.

So. apparently PR -29 is meant to bea sort of master control order and willbe Instituted gradually during the latterhalf of 1945. Officials say there will befurther changes in other WPB regula-tions and orders and the board cautionsthat if -there should be any consistencybetween PR -29 and any other WPBregulations or orders, PR -29 will decidethe issue "unless the other order ex-pressly states the contrary."

Still RestrictCoinMachines

Phonos, amusement mehs.have to wait for tubes,speakers, other parts

CHICAGO, July 7.-When L-21 was re.yoked May 16 it removed the official banon the making of juke boxes and otheramusement devices, but L-265, the gen-eral limitation order governing the pro-duction of tubes, speakers and other vitalparts, still remained in effect,

Recently WPB called in the Radio In-dustry Advisory Committee which madea number of special recommendations.After the meeting, WPB issued orderL-265 in amended form on June 28.

Amendments recommended by thecommittee as the first step in using fa-cilities released by cutbacks In militaryand priority production asked the re-moval of restrictions on end equipmentexcepting the following:

1. Manual or automatic phonographs orrecord players using electronic tubes.

2, Amusement devices, coin or tokenoperated, using electronic tubes.

S. Radio receivers for home use, includ-ing AK FM, television, facsimile or anyother type of reception,

4. Radio transmitters for broadcastingto the general public.

5. Receivers and transmitters for ase byamateurs.The removal of restrictions, thru these

amendments to L-265, places theeventual authorization and additionalcivilian production of electronic equip-ment under "spot authorization" proce-dure regulated by PR -25. The whole movecomes as a part of WP13's announced pol-icy of gradual reconversion In industrieswhere facilities are still needed to meetmilitary demands.

The "spot authorization" order allowsmanufacturers to apply on their ownmerits for official perm., ssion from theWPB to manufacture goods still governedby a WPB order. It Is taken for granted,of course, that "spot authorization'.would be granted only where materialsand facilities were sufficient over andabeve those needed to fill military needs.

Military. Need BigAt the same time WPB cautioned,

"military electronic requirements are so,heavy that components will not be avail-able for some time for civilian demand.The most essential civilian electronicneeds, such as equipment for transporta-tion, police installations and domesticradio replacement., will be taken care offirst."

WPB also said that manufacturers af-fected by the relaxation of these ordersgoverning electronic equipmentceive no priorities assistance." WPB saidthat PR -27, which provides priorttesistance to manufacturers Who needsmall amounts of production materialsand show conditions for the use of rat-ings assigned by that regulation, doesnot relax restrictions on manufacture ofelectronic equipment governed by L-285.

This means that PR -27 does not estab-lish an authorized production schedulefor electronic equipment. Nor may theAA -4 rating, assigned by the PR -27 rat-ing, be used to purchase complete equip-ment such as radios or phonographs,

Those manufacturers who feel thatthey qualify for "spot authorization"production must apply to the WPB usingform WPB -4000. The board announcedthat instructions for tiling this form.will be released shortly. These instruc-tions will contain specific provisions forthe radio industry, according to the WPB.

Couplet is a real classic, but fullest enjoy-ment will be derived within the intimate con-fines of the home phones.JOE MARSALA (Musicraft)Gotta Be This or That -FT; VC.Southern Comfort -FT.

The Joe Marsala Sotpet, with the spot.light on harpist Adele Girard, whip upVery little enthusiasm in their jam ses-sinning for these two sides. With Mar-sala's clarinet virtually locked out, andthe solo improvisations of the othersnever raising the temperature, it's onlyluke-warm for Sunny Skylar's Gotta BeTitiS or That. Breaking into the blow-ing with a weak vocal refrain doesn'thelp it any. It's more to the tastes ofthe hot jazz diskophiles for an original

Comfort riff opus. But theynever pack the kick that's found In thebottles carrying a label with this tunetitle.

The juke box fans will hardly get excitedover these sides.BON BON (Joe Davis)Don't Be Angry With Me-FTi V.Can't You See -FT; V.

Bon Bon, who used to sell the balladsand rhythm ditties with equal effective-ness when chanting with the namebands, turns in a matter-of-factly ren-dition for both of these Joe Davis tunes,In. all justice to the singer, the songsthemselves are of the mill run variety,and the instrumental threesome backingthe voice is hardly adequate. Don't BeAngry With Mc, a sentimental ballad, istaken at a slow tempo, stepping it upfor Can't You See?

Nothing here that will woo the nickels.

JOHNNY MERCER (Capitol)heAthson,7egekzandSantFe-r ; V.LnvorLhonvieimn,ing-;T;v

Johnny Mercer's Delta cilttying makesfor another disk dandy with the pairingof his own tunes. Oils happy-go-luckysinging style is well suited for his rail-road song, The Atchison, Topeka andSanta Fe, from the movie The HarveyGirls. Adding the colorful vocal har-monies is the rhythm singing of ThePled Pipers on the assist. For his Con-versation. While Dancing novelty, JoStafford enters into the rhythmic re-partee, spinning out a conversation piece

between a hep chick and her chicklet.Paul Weston, as ever, provides the mu-sical wrapping that adds so much tothe listening appeal of the sides.

With "The Atchison, Topeka and SantaFe" a hit -potential, this cross-country mu-sical chant will unquestionably mean muchfor the music cps.

GENE KRUPA (Columbia)That Drummer's Bernd -FT.What's This? -FT; VC.

Bringing something delightfully -differ-ent to the disks, Gene Krupa is bound toattract plenty of attention with DavidLampert's What's This? A riff opustaken at a speed tempo, it has Lambertand Buddy Stewart singing the licksright along with the band.

SAMMY KAYE (Victor)k

Good, Good. Good -FT; VC.Gotta Be This or That -FT; VC.

It's polished playing thruout for boththese rhytlun pops with the song sellingcapably handled by the singers in theband. Eschewing the rinnba, beats forGood, Good, Good, following instead the 4straight fox-trot line, the infectious dittymakes fine boy -belle fare for Billy Wil-aslams and Nancy Norman. SunnySkylar's Gotta Be This or That is also setforth at a bounce tempo, with NancyNorman and the Kaye Choir bringing outall the commercial appeal of the pop. /

The enthusiasm attending the "Good, Good,Good" ditty will bring plenty of attention toSammy Kaye's lyrical entry.

XAVIER CUGAT (Columbia)Say Jr Over Again -FT; VC.Chupa-Chupa-FT; VC.

Once again Xavier Cugat sets forthhis tropical syncos in the most taste-ful manner. With two native songs thatcommand attention, the couplet leavesnothing to he desired. Say It Over Againis a wistful Latin lullaby, bringing out 4:eall of its melodic richness as a bolero,with Del Campo adding the lyrical op- 41.2,peal in singing it in Spanish. The congarhythms predominate for the excitingChupa-Chupa, with Mignelito Valdes, as- 1 "slated by the Cugat Chorus, adding allthe lyrical color.

Where Cugat's music commands attentionin the phones, the fans will never be setts:led '

with less than both sides.FREDDIE SLACK (Capitol)A Kiss Goodnight -FT; VC.Gee Chi Love Song -FT.

Major interest in the music making of 'these men corraled by Freddie Slack iscontained In Phil Moore's Gee Cht Love JSong. An instrumental, it's a rhythmicfantasy built around a minor theme, .with Slack's piano and Barney Bigard'sclarinet cadenzas out in front. A ICUSGoodnight, also set forth at a brighttempo, is the maestro's own entry forpopular appeal. There is enough con-tagion in his rhythm ditty to make Itcount. Side also introduces Liza Mor-row, who packs plenty of rhythmic feel -Mg in her pipes and goes a long way in 0making it a selling side.

The phono fans will find their way to "A 'itKiss Goodnight."

FIVE RED CAPS (Joe Davis) '

Don't Say We're Through -FT; V.Destination Unknown -FT; V.

The Five Red Caps, dipping into theInk Spots stock pattern, do an attractive 4

selling job for Frank Capano's Don't Say 5.

We're Through, an attractive torch bal-lad. A similar set-up of solo voice bankedby the sustained vocal harmonies of theothers makes it equally attractive forAndy Razaf's and J. Higginbotham'sDestination Unknown, also rich In torch 4. 7qualities.

"Don't Say We're Through" should enjoygood ride at the race locations, where theymust be hungry for the Ink Spots style ofsong sentimentality.STAN KENTON (Capitol)Tampico -FT; VC.Southern Scandal -FT.

There's nothing scandalous about StanKenton's own Southern Scandal. As amatter of fact, it's strictly on a solidbeam. With the band screaming on thereleases, the contrast is pointed up withgreater effectiveness for Kenton's rhythmpiano -pounding, Max Wayne's walkingthe bass and Freddie Zito's rugged trom-bone passages. Tampico is a trite andrepetitious Mexicali -type tune, for whichthe band hits it hard on the bridge barsfor the singing of the innocuous stanzasby June Christy with the band boys onthe assist. Both opuses are beat off ata fast clip,

Neither side displays any marked juke boxappeal.

GENE RODGERS (Joe Davis)Rhapsody Boogle-FT.Poet and Peasant Boogie -FT.

For those intrigued by the eight -t0 -the -bar intricities, there is little to getexcited over the manner in which GeneRodgers knuckles the keyboard. None-theless, it's a commercial brand of boogiethat may find some acceptance amongthose not as discriminating. Both composare his own fashionings, whipping thekeys at traffic -stopping tempo. Displayslittle originality in his pounding forRhapsody Boogie, a blues boogie. WhilePoet and Pasant Boogie is strictly ahonky-tonk version of the classic over-ture.

Nothing here to excite the phoso tans.

NEW PIN BALL REVAMPS

New Sugar OrderLeaves SituationIn Same Old Fix

CHICAGO. July 7. -Despite the factthat WPB has censored all limits on theuse of beet molasses for the productionof sugar, local trade remained pessimis-tic about the sugar shortage and its ef-fect on the candy and soft-drink indus-tries.

An officio/ for the National Confec-tioners' Association was of the opinionthat the unlimited use of beet molassesfor sugar production would have littleeffect on the over-all shortage of sugar."The reflection in total increased Pro-duction will be small," the spokesmansaid.

Prior to the WPB announcement, themanufacture of sugar from beet molasseswas restricted to 40 per cent of theamount produced ill the year ended June30, 1941. Purpose of this restriction, ac-cording to the WPB, WEIS to conserve mo-lasses for the manufacture of yeast andcitric acid.

There is no reason to believe, of course,that sugar quotas for the third quarterwill be affected in ally way by this recentWPB order.

machine manufacturers are devotingtheir entire facilities to war production.Al the same time, however, they areplanning their post-war products and wecan expect machines that embody somany changes that the machines cur-rently in use may become almost obso-lete within a year or two after the war.

"One of the post-war machines is aconsole model, about desk height, and isoperated by a small electric motor. Theconsumer merely presses a button con-trolling the column of his favorite brandand the package displayed is deliveredto hills. The coin mechanism makeschange up to 50 cents and may bechanged to any price without addingparts. All columns of the machine arcremovable, holding both king and stand-ard -size cigarettes. The mechanism, itis promised, will provide virtually fool-proof operation.

"This is merely an isolated example ofthe vast improvement and advancementto be anticipated in the realm of post-war production."

Just how much of an effect this isgoing to have on the soft-drink industryis difficult to foretell, but some tradeestimates say that sales will be cutsome 20 to 30 per cent under the volumefor the third quarter last year. And thetrade points out that this takes intoconsideration the fact that a largeshare of soft-drink production will begoing to the armed services and is there-fore not subject to the sugar quota.

Patent Gazette RipeWith Coin OperatedBeverage Dispensers

WASHINGTON, °July '7. -The May 22issue of The Official Gazette of theUnited States Patent Office contained :I,

descriptions of four devices in the coinmachine field -Al of the patents related i

to soft drink dispensers.Patent No. 2,370.403, with 15 claims, is

chine. Held in the name of Ernest ,,,,H. Thompson, Winnetka, Ill., and Leo W. :1Doggett, Chicago, it was assigned to theAutomatic Canteen Company of America,Chicago, a corporation of Delaware.

name of Milton L. Smith, Chicago, andone in the name of Robert Schwalb, Chl-cago, and Smith, were likewise beverage tdispensing units.

to a considerable extent by a small taxbill. Additional items, such as adver-tising, can likewise be shaved to helpthe larger concerns make ends meet.

This can he demonstrated by a studyof the annual reports of the Coca-ColaCompany. In 1939, when that company'stax bill was somewhat less than a quar-ter of what it is today, Coca-Cola en-joyed Its year of highest net profit,realizing $29,030,374. Despite an increas-ingly larger gross volume, the Coca-ColaCompany realized only $25,021,446 aftertaxes were deducted in 1944.

Biros IncreasesHires Root Beer reports an increase

in net sales. The company has a TIUM-bee of divisions, but the root beer, whichuses sugar, is their main source ofrevenue. Nehi. expecting a slight reduc-tion in net profit, Is in the same situa-tion as the Coca-Cola Company.

The Pepsi -Cola Company is in a uniqueposition and under normal conditionswould have a definite flexibility in op-eration because it owns its own sugarrefinery in this country and its ownsugar plantation in Cuba. Neither ofthese do the company much good now,.however, since it is affected by the samewartime restrictions which face otherconcerns, and its plant is on the sameallotment as all other refineries. Thecompany expects sales to be reduced be-cause of the sugar shortage.

Bottlers have examined the prospectsof using some of the sugar substitutes

which are available. But the danger ofaltering the established taste of a prod-uet which has gained popular acceptancekeeps most of them from substitutingfor the fast -disappearing sugar. Unlessthe shortage is remedied, however, somebottlers may bo forced to use sugar sub-stitutes to stay in business.

1.However, you look at it, the sugar A

shortage being what it is, bottlers and j.venders are going to be hard pressedto meet the demand for soft drinks dur-ing

VitaminizedY Al

Army War -Time.Use Told Here

Vitamin candy may provemore popular than capsuleor pill, says army expert

t CHICAGO, July 7.-The candy's in-dustry's interest in vitamin -fortified

,candy was given a distinct boost hereby a recent statement from Capt. Vernon111. White, who is in charge of the General

t Products branch and the Confectionssection of the Quartermaster Corps Sub-sistence Research and DevelopmentLaboratory, Chicago Quartermaster Depot.

Captain White is reported to have saidI that the vitamin fortified candies, a

wartime development used as a supply-went to army ration diets, may eventu-ally prove more popular than vitamincapsules. This would mean that vita-mins could play an important role inthe confection industry's efforts to

. establish candy as a definite food with_Jahns ranking alongside other staplefood items.

Adds to Vitamin WarS. This statement adds another chapter

to the long vitamin "war" which has1,, been raging between the food industry

and a certain medical group. The medi-cal group has for a number of yearsattacked the popular use of candy, andthe industry has been fighting back

yi-with a number of recognized scientists' supporting its point of view.

An interested bystander to the bigshow has been the vending machinetrade. The trade naturally feels that ifthe food industries win the battle, theadvertisements of vitamins in soft

'drinks, candy and other similar prod-ucts will be extremely helpful as a salesbooster during the post-war period.

"Confections," said Captain :White,"containing a well-balanced supplement

;0 of added vitamins could rival othervitamin -containing foods such as fruitjuices and vegetables as sources of anadequate vitamin supply and probablywould be a much more popular sourceof vitamins than the vitamin pills andcapsules sold so widely today."

Duke Tests ExplodedIn midwinter of this year those

b forces opposing vitamins gave a greatdeal of publicity to the "unfavorable"

*results of an experiment conducted byDuke University. Not long atter thoseunfavorable results were published, how-

' ever, other scientists exploded the Duketests by pointing out their lack ofscientific soundness.

A later test, conducted at the Lock-+ heed Aircraft plant, Burbank, Calif.,

gave much more scientific results. Thestudy got under way in March, 1942, with

it 628 male workers-most of them fromthe "swing" shift-who were given athoro medical checkup. These men werethen split into two groups. One groupwas given a daily dose of fake pills,While the second group received a combi-nation vitamin -mineral pill.

b The first six months showed no defi-nite reaction, altho both groups had a

working efficiency higher than that

10:

demonstrated by a third group whichtook no pills at all. This psychologicaleffect diminished gradually and disap-peared, but the bodily changes became

r apparent after six months and con-tinued until the test ended this spring.

e Absenteeism ReducedIn the group taking vitamins, there; was a reduction in absenteeism of 18.8

per cent and a marked improvement ingeneral work performance was noted.

6 This study, conducted by Dr. Henry Bor-sook, was underwritten by the California

- Institute of Technology and the Na-tion Research Council, and it furtherstrengthened the food industry's posi-tion.

Late last year, the Food and Drug Ad -Ministration ruled that the drug trademust change its labels on vitamins andother medicinal products to give the con-sumer more complete directions as tothe amount to be taken. Many labelssow carry the legend: "To be taken only

this type are expected to eliminatebroken finger nails, chilled hands andthe disorderly arrangement of packagesoften caused by customers shufflingpackages to find the product in whichthey are interested. Nor will there beany necessity for asking questions ofclerks, since each unit will be labeled.

GE and ServelShow Trend toCoin Machines

CHICAGO, July 7.-An interesting in-dication of the probable trend towardall kinds of coin -operated devices forhousehold use in the post-war period,is the type of manufacturer advertise-ment now appearing in trade journalsand direct -mail circulars.

General Electric, with an advertise-ment in one of the leading electriCaltrade papers, features coin -operatedtimers for easy collection of installmentsales, and coin -operated timers for apart-ment house washing machines, hotel ra-dios and the like. Both of these itemsare an important feature of the two-color advertisement.

Servel, Inc., in its direct -mail adver-tising, features the part that companyplays In supplying cooling units forvending machines. One of their circularshas a streamlined, artist's conception ofa post-war beverage vending machine.

The fact that large companies such asthese are featuring coin -operated devicesis a good sign for the future.

Bendix RevealsEnlarged Field

SOUTH BEND, Ind., July 7.-BendixHome Appliances, Inc., announced thisweek that it was entering the homeironer and dryer fields. This Is a moveto supplement the automatic homelaundry line brought out by Bendix be-fore the war.

As the announcement was being madeproduction began on the laundries. Thecompany announced its plans to supply8,000 dealers with floor demonstrationmodels in September or October,

In Chicago, the Bendix home ap-pliances will be distributed thru a newfactory branch recently opened at 435East Erie Street.

on the advice of your physician." Butthe FDA has ruled that as of October10, 1945, all labels must give simpledirections as to dosage.

This may be regarded as a consider-able victory for the vitamin interests,since the older labels, calling for aphysician's advice, cut vitamin sales andmade it practically imperative to con-sult a physician before taking any kindof vitamins.

Just how far vitamins are going toaffect the candy and soft-drink indus-tries after the war would be difficult tosay. The fact that some members of theindustry have already made definitesteps toward using vitamins as a sellingpoint indicates that others will followsuit as a matter of meeting competition.

Vending machine operators will like-wise be watching the trend, ready tocapitalize on the widespread promotionof vitamins. As a selling argument,vitamins could add greatly to salesvolume.

sumption is that those bars will now beplaced on the open market for resale.

Any manufacturer who desired to buyback the candy bars which were origi-nally intended for navy consumption,was told that the purchase will notcharge the manufacturer with any pen-alty against sugar or chocolate quotas.OPA says that since this candy wasmanufactured and marketed as quota -free it now must be resold by the WFAin the same category.

The candy surplus, stored in a ware-house at Bayonne, N. J., was reported tobe In excellent condition. Original vend-ers are reported to have immediatelydisposed of the bars Milt wholesale andretail channels. Ten manufacturers wereoffered the bars which they had origi-nally sold the navy.

COIN SLOT FOOD(Continued front opposite page)

grocery stores specializing in self-service,but it would be possible to oiler frozenfoods of all kinds to residents of apart-meht houses, where the machines couldbe installed In lobbies or basements.

Ease in ShoppingMilton Rifkin, of the Denver company,

said that the purpose of the new ma-chine is to sell more package frozenfoods, as well as ice cream, in self-servicestores. At the same time, the machineis expected to add to the ease and speedwith which a consumer may shop. Thedevice, which is set on a base, will elimi-nate stooping over to examine a package.Each unit is made up of a number ofcompartments, in the form of drawers.The drawers can either be a representa-tion of the actual package to be foundinside, or there can be a simple sign,telling what is contained in the drawerand for what price the product sells.

Coin -operated frozen food units of

Public AcceptanceLatest wholesale and retail food trade

surveys reveal that the wartime swingto self-service will be a permanentchange which grocers will have to takeinto consideration. .Aciording to onegrocer trade report, "Self-service in drygrocery stores is on an upwart swing,with grocers in small communities alsoplanning to install self-service stores ofsome kind as soon as they can."

Increased public acceptance of dehy-drated, as well as frozen foods adds tothe likely success of the coin -operatedself-service food vender. Science, underpressure of war, has solved many of theproblems which long kept dehydratedfoods from enjoying wide popularity. Theprobability of expressing perishable foodby air likewise ties in with the coin-operated frozen food stores.

Since rationing went into effect-thonot necessarily because of that fact-there has been a noticeable interest inhome frozen food lockers. This, too, willtie in with the popularity of the self-service frozen food store, since the cus-tomer can purchase products from suchstores and transfer them to his homefood locker where they can be kept foras long as he wishes. Store owners arecertain to capitalize on the consumingpublic's desire for out -of -season prod-ucts. Frozen food stores would be able,for example, to provide such delicacies asfresh strawberries for Christmas dinner.

Sales Volume UpThe total sales volume of self-service

grocery stores has been on the upswingsince the Into 1930's. In 1938, sales instores of that type amounted to slightlymore than one billion dollars. Reliabletrade estimates place the volume in ex-cess of 9 billion dollars for 1943. At thepresent time, according to trade authori-ties, self-service accounts for from 60 to70 per cent of all retail food sales.

There are many problems yet to beironed out, of course, as there aro in anynew field of consequence. Manufactur-ing and material regulations make it im-possible for any coin -operated self-servicefood stores to start at the present time.But it Is significant that the trade isstudying the possibilities for the future,and will be ready to explore the marketas soon as possible,

Operators all over the countryassociate the name UNIVENDORwith reliability. They have foundthat for consistent trouble -freeperformance this finest of candyvendors is unequalled.

Right now, as throughout the war,the full capacity of the big Stonerplant is devoted to producing vitalmaterials for our armed forces. Butthe day is coming when we willagain make UNIVENDOR. It willbe finer than ever. Watch for it!

CHICAGO, July 7. -The Chicago Tri-bune, June 24, carried a lengthy articleon coin machines, written by OrvilleDwyer, one-time publicity writer forthe National Association of Coin -Op -crated Machine Manufacturers. Dwyerhas been a well-known Chicago news-paperman for years. He was formerly as-sociated with the Hearst papers here andmore recently has been with The Tri-bune. Dwyer's story follows:

Manufacturers of slot machines, gam-ing, vending and other coin -operated de-vices who for more than three years havebeen making sub -machine gulls, radarequipment, precision instruments andother war materials now are free to re-sume peactime pursuits and look forwardto ft $200,000,000 business in their firstyear of post-war production.

This assertion was made yesterday byWalter Hurd, coin machine editor of TheBillboard, theatrical Journal which de-votes much of its space to news andadvertising of such devices. He pointedout that the War Production Board May20, by cancellation of its order L-21,lifted restrictions on the making ofnearly all coin -operated machines.

Optimism Is Qualified"This does not mean that these com-

panies can begin at once to convert andgo back to manufacturing the old pre-war or even new post-war type of ma-chines," Hurd said. "There are only abopt40 companies in this field, most of themin and around Chicago, but almost allof them still have important war con-tracts.

"It will be six months before they be-gin in earliest to produce new coinmachines unless there is a sudden endto the Japanese war."

Hurd pointed out that slot machineshave flourished during the war and areexpected to "go even bigger" afterward.The big manufacturers of slot machines,he said, have found a new friend in theuse of. coin devices to support clubs ofall kinds, civic, social, veteran and evenreligious organizations with headquar-ters or club houses for assembly.

Laws permitting the use of slot ma-chines in all such private clubs havebeen enacted in Washington, Idaho andMontana, Hurd showed. A similar lawwas enacted by both Georgia housesbut was vetoed by the governor. Plans forintroducing such laws are under way inmany States, he added.

Government Tax $100The government last year collected a

tax of $100 each on' 77,186 slots. Federaltaxes on 2,860 slot machines were paidin the 26 counties of Northern Illinois,Nigel Campbell, Collector of InternalRevenue, said. The machines are forbid-den by State law. No reliable estimatecan be made as to how many more may

be used illegally -and untaxed-thruoutthe country. The State laws, both en-acted and contemplated, are based onthe government license.

In Idaho and Montana, Hurd asserted,a $100 State tax is charged for eachmachine, and all clubs registered withthe States may install them. In Washing-ton a percentage of the "take" by eachmachine is collected, but this is esti-mated to amount on the average toabout 6100 a machine also.

"This is the sort of legitimate busi-ness the slot machine manufacturers aretrying to build up thru legislative ac-tion," Hurd continued. "Of course, theyknow as well as any one else that liter-ally thousands of clubs in States whichnow do not have such laws are supportedby slot machines. They know that au-thorities often simply ignore such ma-chines -that they are used by tacit con-sent. But they'd rather have it legiti-mate."

The Billboard editor declared develop-ment of clubs has been constant inAmerican life with the help of slot ma-chines to support them in lieu of largedues.

James T. Mangan, firm member andfor 20 years advertising and merchan-dising manager for Mills Industries, coinmachine manufacturers, predicted that10 years from now there will be three tofive times as many coin machines inoperation as there are now.

C. E. Vetterick, advertising manager of0. D. Jennings & Company, one of thelargest manufacturers of slot machines,also predicted that the industry will turnout a tremendous amount of equipmentin its first year of peactime production.

LA Area Arcades DoHot 4th of July BizAs Sun Shines Bright

LOS ANGELES, July 7. -Arcades inthis section, especially at the beaches,hit strong business over the Fourth ofJuly despite unseasonal weather in thecity. As the weatherman predicted,there was no sunshine to amount toanything until almost noon Wednesday.Had the suit come out on schedule, ar-cade records would have been smashed.

At thc Funhouse on Main Street, oper-ated by Fred McKee, July 4 businesswas okay but nothing exceptional. Thenight before the holiday put businessinto the place. But, it was said, theentire business was on a par with agood week -end only.

At Ocean Park, where Barney Fishmanoperates Sportland, business was saidto be exceptional on the holiday. At3 p.m. and later the crowds began toreach the pushing stage. Fishman saidthat the holiday business by far ex-ceeded that of 1944. The business onJuly 3 was also good with the spot get-ting a late play.

Taking the honors for business was AlAnderson's arcade in Balboa, about 60miles south of here. He said that hehad a good third and an "excellentFourth." Tho take was upped here thisyear by the changing of some machinesto nickel takes. He maintains a goodpenny department but 70 per cent ofhis business is coming from the 5 -centmachines. Not only is the 5 -cent changebenefiting the coffers but the peopleplaying them are easier on machines.He cited that a Vita -machine, which hadbeen changed to a nickel, was pullingmore money and had had one servicecall since then. When it operated for apenny, there was an average of twoservice calls a week on it.

Heat Packs CrowdsInto Balt. ArcadesForWeek-EndPeriod

BALTIMORE, July 7-Carlin's Amuse-ment Park, Gwynn Oak AmusementPark and Bay Shore Amusement Parkhere have been thronged.

All of these parks have substantialarcades with rows of amusement ma-chines which get heavy play. Park andarcade owners got off to a good startthis season by having their machinesrepaired and reconditioned long beforethe season got under way.

Even after the season opened, arcademanagers still found time to matte last-minute repairs on their machines whena stretch of cool weather caused a slumpIn business.

Arcade Installs NewPre -War Juke Model

BALTIMORE, July 7.-A new musicmachine has been installed in theAmusement Center Arcade, 15 East NorthAvenue here. The juke, one of the newermodels produced Just before the war, isan elaborate unit and appears to be giv-ing good service. It replaces an oldermodel juke.

The Amusement Center is one of fouramusement places operated in this cityby Arthur Price. Other spots underPrice's management include Gwynn OakAmusement Pria.k, Aurora Theater andLakewood swimming pool.

oon, very soon,

you will see one of the most outstanding Bells ever to hit the

market. Vince Shay and Charley Miller unveiled it to a select

few the other day. Vince said, "I have a name for this machine

and I don't want any suggestions from anybody here. It is go-

ing to be called the Golden Falls. It's loaded with personality."

The colors and finish are very different from any previous Bell

models. The new material used for the casting is serviceable

and attractive. The machine has many new mechanical im-

provements and soon, very soon, you too will hear more about

it. Mills Novelty Company, 4100 Fullerton Ave., Chicago 39,111.

BUY WAR BONDS

In recognition of the outstanding services rendered by our distributor organizations

during these war times, the J. P. Seeburg Corporation honors an

authorized Seeburg distributor each week.

IT is with a deep sense of obligation both to manu-

facturer and operator that we have accepted the distrib-

utorship of Seeburg products in the State of Florida.

Fifteen years' experience in the coin machine industry

have convinced us of three basic truths: FIRST:

The reliance of all branches of the industry on the

ingenuity and resourcefulness of the manufacturer

to produce ever better equipment. The J. P. Seeburg

Corporation has certainly done more than its share

toward this end. SECOND: Our reliance on the

distributor for service, parts, instruction, education,

promotion, etc. The Florida Automatic Sales Corp.

is now in the process of establishing properly

equipped and expertly manned branch offices in

Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville, each to be a

miniature factory in itself THIRD: Prosperous

Operators are the best insurance for continued

distributor success. Upon this premise Florida

Automatic Sales Corporation pledges itself
