CHICAGO, Aug. 4 -Fairs are due forthe greatest expansion in their historyafter the war, according to fair men whohave closely followed the trend of eventsthru the war years. Even as this year's

That boom years are ahead is the con-sidered opinion of all fair men. Fouryears of war, fraught with many handi-caps, slowed up but did not stop thefairs. Many were forced to temporarily(See Fairs See Post -War on page 94)

But there Is the other lounge ownerwho usually became that way thru aseries of accidents. He doesn't knowwhat It's all about and gets nice mobsjust by holding on to the tails of hisopposition. It is this kind of op whogives lounge bookers headaches. Origi-nally he came into the biz thru theswinging doors. He probably started offwith the "longest bar In town" addeda kitchen and sat back to watch doughroll in. If it weren't for competitionhe'd go along that way until his saloonfell apart.

Vets or AngelsGet No Assist

Khaki will face regularcommercial theater rulesand no Mr. Whiskers' lift

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Dreams of "tal-ented" ex -servicemen, of touring thecountry in all -GI. revues and legits, willturn into nightmares the minute they hitproduction reality. The same goes for

producers who plan to"g 1 v e employment tovets" and think becauseof this they will get spe-cial consideration fromthe unions and theaterowners. Idea of bothgroups (G.I.'s and regularcommercial producers)is to take the cream ofthe entertainers from

Special Service shows and build revuesusing all-G.I. staff and material. Theunions without a second thought nix theseprojects unless regular conditions aremet.

The last war saw only one comparablelegit scheme when Elsie Janis and Her

was partially composed of doughboyswhom Elsie brought back with her fromthe war.

No Gov't SubsidyFirst problem facing vets will be raising

dough. If they think that 10 ex -service-men banding together and making a pitchfor money under the G.I. Bill of Rightshave a bill of goods, they are mistaken.Bill of Rights only provides for loans forequipment so that if anything goes wrongwith biz Uncle Sam can save somethingfrom the wreckage. Bill does not providecapital funds for running expenses.

`Archie' Tosses One From ShoulderBlast at USO,Spec. Service

Ed Gardner backs up otherentertainers-even makesit stronger-names names

NEW YORK, Aug. 8. - What FrankSinatra said upon his return from en-tertaining the boys In the E.T.O., whatGertrude Lawrence confirmed in an ex-clusive interview with The Billbbard(August 4 issue), Ed. "Archie" Gardner(Banes Tavern) doubled in spades lastweek when he hit the Main Stem againafter being overseas. Gardner not onlyunderlined what Lou Frankel. The Bill-board radio editor, had stressed In aneditorial, In Defense of Sinatra (July 28issue), but he backed up ?rankle andthe others who have griped about whathe termed USO and Army Special Serv-ices "stupidity."

Archie toured the Mediterranean thea-ter of operations for two months withJinx Faikenberg, Herb Bruce, MarilynHare and others. Spouting phrases suchas "all-around stupidity" and an "aval-anche of inefficiency" to describe what hefound. Gardner poured out his heart torotund Earl Wilson, columnist of TheNew York Post,

Surprise! Surprise!"We got to Italy, and they were

amazed, because nobody knew we werecoming. We drove eight hours to oneplace and played to 100 guys. Our showhadn't been announced and everybody's'gone to the beach. The army man incharge said 'frankly, the USO and SpecialService loused up so many shows that I("Archie" Hits From Shoulder; page 31)

USO AnswerNEW YORK, Aug. 8.-In an-

swer to continued squawks byFrank Sinatra, Gertrude Law-rence, Ed (Archie) Gardner, AnnSheridan and an article In lastweek's Billboard about the wayUSO-Camp Shows, Inc., has beenmulling the ball in presenting en-tertainment to the °I.'s. LarryPhillips, executive v. -p. of USO,made the following points:"There is a good deal of mislead-ing and incorrect Information inthe report of the interview withMiss Lawrence. The statementthat there is 'The complete ab-sence of any CSI field workers inany spots played by performers'Is incorrect. A complete office andfield organization has been main-tained for the past two years InEuropean and Mediterraneantheaters of operation. No similarfield organization has been inoperation In the Pacific Oceanareas because of the few unitssent to those areas until recently.

"Of the 14 weeks Miss Law-rence's unit was away. six werespent in Hawaii and eight touringthe Western Pacific areas recentlytaken from the Japs. Surely, shecould not have expected betterthan 'inadequate theaters, equip-ment, housing, and advancepreparations' (she did) where theeffort of the army must be pri-marily directed toward combat Inprimitive territory. Sure it'stough on the performer to playon a makeshift stage and In therain, but a good many of the topnames in show business havedone It cheerfully and withoutcomplaint so long as the fightingmen were willing to sit out in therain and hear them."

Latest forecastcomes from Kelvin E. Karns, newly desig-nated director of WPB's radio and radardivision. At a meeting of one of WPBadvisory committees last week (3), Karnssaid reconversion of the radio industryfrom war to civilian production Is ex-pected to be easier and quicker than thatof any other major industry and will beaccomplished without Interference withwar effort. However, adds Karns, like aWashington old-timer, home radio setsthat will be produced and delivered won'tbe able to meet public demand for quitea while.

Bidding for KOIL's former CBS audi-ence will be KFAB. formerly basic CBSfor Lincoln and its rural area (esti-mated at 200 counties). KFAB, whichhas been coming in strong in the day-time, will have Just as strong a night-time signal since WalT, basic CBS sta-tion at Charlotte, W. Va., will shortlybe directionalized. KFAB, for whichHarry Burke is manager and Harold

t Holding Co.CongressionalBiz in Fall'Crosley-AVCO Spotlights It

i WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Whether hold-ing companies will be allowed to controlradio stations will be something forCongress to worry about next fall, It wasapparent here today after due considera-tion of FCC's 4-3 decish authorizingtransfer of $22,000,000 in Crosley Cor-

i poration radio Interests to Aviation Cor-poration. FCC's quick favorable decish,accompanied by stiff conditions for thetransfer, came Thursday (2) almost onthe heels of the final hearing, as fore-

ticast by The Billboard under date ofJuly 30.

With counsel for AVCO and Crosleyhaving insisted several times during thehearings that the Issue of big business

a In radio Is one for Congress finally to tie-cide, the problem is already shaping upfffas a No. 1 matter on the fall agenda ofSenate Interstate Commerce Committee.Chairman Wheeler, of latter committee.

afrankly voiced concern over threat ofcontrol of radio by 'holding companiesand indicated readiness to study thesubject. FCC isn't at all unhappy overWheeler's Interest.

flowed to sell WINS at record $2,200,000price to Crosley from whose hands sta-tion would pass into AVCO control.r AVCO In getting authorization for ac-ceptancf of Crosley interests Is accepting

the "roaming" audience are NBC's affil-iate, WOW (5 k.w.), and KBON, Mutualnet station.

Date for the big Omaha radio change-over is November 1, but nobody is sleep-ing now. So far Omaha has been notedfor its co-operation among stations.Everybody is wondering, if under thebattle, the tie will be maintained.

KFAB, with Its 10 k.w., is the biggeststation in Nebraska, but because of its1110 dial position it Is no stronger thanWOW. However, the station hopes, withthe loosening up of materials, to startconstruction of three 50,000 -watt towersat near -by Paptllion, Neb.

Tho situated in Lincoln, Statecapital about 55 miles from Omaha, itnow is originating two newscasts andone Man on the Street show in Omaha.It will stress that listeners no longercan get CBS shows on KOIL and alsowill plug its night offerings. KOIL, onthe other hand, will push the fact thatit will be offering an average of six hoursmore of ABC shows than KOWH's day-time limitation provided,

Two Sports Writers HaveTrouble When PublishersSay No to Beer Broadcasts

Shopping News Is Benefited

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4.-Because theCowles -owned atinneapolis newspapersfrown upon liquor and beer advertis-ing, one newspaperman here had toquit his beer -sponsored radio showwhile another left his newspaper jobrather than give up his beer -sponsoredwirer.

Affected by the policy clash are DickCullum, sports editor for The Minneap-olis Daily Times, and Bob DeHaven,columnist for The Minneapolis MorningTribune.

Cullum has been broadcasting a sportsanalysis show over WDGY-lndle for sev-eral months. Started as a sustainer,the show was bank rolled in recentmonths by the Gluek Brewing Company.Beer company sponsor was suggested byCullum himself so that bank rollerwould not be someone advertising inThe Times,

Times Pub Says NixJoyce Swan, Times publisher, when he

learned that the beer company wassponsoring Cullum, objected that thiswas against newspaper policy. A seriesof meetings were held between Swan andLee Whiting, WDGY manager. Swantold The Billboard that he agreed topermit Cullum to continue on the airuntil the 26 -week contract period ex-pired. When that period ended. Cullumwent off the air, giving up 575 a weekfor his stint. The time, owned by thebeer company, was retained, and Cul-

lum was replaced by Dean Sherman,who does a sportscast.

The DeHaven angle is somewhat dif-ferent. For two and one-half yearsDeHaven h. been "Friendly Fred" forMinneapolis Brewing Company six nightsweekly over WCCO. DeHaven's truename is not used on the show. Whenhe joined Morning Tribune last October,he said that he informed newspapermanagement in advance that he hadradio show, paying him $175 weekly, andintended keeping It. His radio contractexpires August 11. 1945, and was Justrenewed for one more year. Newspapermanagement agreed to permit him tocontinue beer show because It was oncontract, so DeHaven quit as programdirector for WTCN and radio director forSt. Paul Pioneer Press -Dispatch to takeTribune slat -day -a -week column at $100per week. After being with paper sev-eral months, DeHaven said, objectionswere raised to his beer program. Con-dition came to a head last month whenhe was told he had to give up the beershow.

DeHaven wrote his last column a weekago today (28). Column title, HowdyDo. DeHaven said, is his property, so heswitched immediately to MinneapolisShopping News, where column is pub-lished once weekly for $50. In addi-tion, DeHaven, as a member of theNewspaper Guild, was awarded $200severance pay by The MinneapolisTribune.

Station DoughEveryone's Biz

Durr points out that publiccan control only if itknows the works

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-FCC will con-tinue to recast rules on station owner-ship so that the public can have fullerinspection. Latest revisions were an-nounced Friday (3) as a result of hear-ings last May and in March, 1944. Underlatest rules, filing of financial data pre-viously required only of standard sta-tions will be required also of television,FM and international stations. Owner-ship data of these licensees will hereafterbe open for public inspection. However,financial reports, network and transcrip-tion contracts of these stations will notbe open. Revisions become effective Sep-tember 1. Significant In connection withrevisions is Commissioner Durr's accom-panying statement that "The amendedrules are a move in the right direction,but in my opinion they stop far shortof making available to the public in-formation to which it is properly en-titled."

Give It Complete InfoDurr mentioned that FCC is giving

consideration to expanding its annualstatistical report so that the report willcontain "certain financial data with re-spect to the operations of individual sta-tions," and he added: "This, too, givespromise of a further move in the rightdirection, but I can see no reason forgiving the public less than complete in-formation."

"It seems to me," he declared, "thatthe commission's action in these pro-ceedings must necessarily turn upon theanswer to a question concerning thefundamental nature of radio broadcast-ing. Is it essentially private businesstinged only with public interest as mayflow as an incidental by-product ofpront-making operations, or is it essen-tially public business?" He said that ifit is the latter, "the commission is en-titled to full information and I can seeno reason why information made avail-able to the commission should beshielded from public scrutiny except asrequired by clear considerations of na-tional security."

No "Cloak of Secrecy""In the interests of public confidence

in the commission's operations as a pub-lic agency." stated Durr, "no cloak ofsecrecy should keep from the public theinformation upon which the commissionrelies, whether in deciding individualcases or in determining matters of broadpolicy. The Communications Act itselfmakes it clear that broadcasting is pub-lic business . . . it seems to me that thetheory of the Communications Act Isthat the licensees are, in effect, chargedwith responsibility of doing a public job.in the operation of public property, andI can see no reason why the rewards theyreceive from the use of public propertyshould be kept a secret from the publicwhich owns the property."

Public "Can Insist"Durr's argument leads up to the crown-

ing blow: "The public has a very definiteinterest in seeing to it that radio is usedas something more than an advertisingmedium." He adds significantly that thepublic can insist upon time being madeavailable for public-service program."only if it has information as to thefinancial ability of the licensee to makethem available and information as to

General feeling In the radio industrythat a recent network appointment of asolid piece of brass to a new formerlynon-existent position, is equivalent tosending that v. -p. to Siberia, isn't sharedwithin the network involved at all.

Be Lou Frankel(Fart three of an objective study of

the Michigan State College Survey ofStudent Listening.)

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Program likesand dislikes rarely jibe with programpopularity. according to the MichiganState College Survey of Student Listen-ing thee July 28. August 4 issues, TheBiLlboard 1. The reason, as outlined inlast week's analysis of the survey, liesin the fact that not all program likescan be catered to since. In many cases,the programs are not available for lis-tening.

Thus, availability has even more bear-ing than preference on popularity, pro-vided. of course, that the survey ade-quately explains to the surveyed thatpopularity means "most popular of theprograms available for listening." There'slittle advantage in the listener liking aprogram on Station A if that stationcannot be heard as well as Station B.

Preference OverridesHowever, it sometimes happens, as it

does with Bob Hope, that program pref-erence overrides program availability.When that happens, it is something tomark and cherish. It doesn't happenof ten.

The students were asked in the survey:"Do you have any suggestions forchanges in programing?" Their answersbroke down as follows:

ftRWG, AAAA Group Contract

Negotiations Still StalematedNEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Since the last

meeting held over a month ago, abate -mate has continued in the preliminarynegotiations for a minimum basic agree-ment between the Radio Writers' Guildand the radio broadcasting committee ofthe AAAA. Next move is up to the scrip-ters.

Sessions brought forth two proposalsby the agency men to improve thewriters' conditions. No. 1 was to reviewand expand the Statement of Practices,a series of do's and don'ts for radio ad-vertisers In relation to buying a script.broadcasting rights, rewrites, and author-ship credit. AAAA also wants to putteeth into these recommendations.

No. 2 was to work out a standard formof contract that agencies might usewhen signing a scripter. AAAA empha-sizes that the contract need not be usedall the time, but with the weight ofRWO and the AAAA behind the form. Itwould be certain to be accepted.

Lack of agreement has been caused at

the meetings by the AAAA committee in-sistence that the RWO was acting con-trary to the Sherman Anti -Trust Act intrying to negotiate a binding agreementwith them. RWO is a group of inde-pendent contractors, not a union, andtherefore does not come under the Wag-ner Act which excludes unions from theprovisions of the anti-trust act.

Writers felt Sherman Act did not ap-ply In their case and offered to havetheir legal eagles meet with attorneysfrom the AAAA to prove their contention.Decision by the U 8. Circuit Court ofAppeal!) that the Dramatists' Guild con -tract in restraint ofaccounts for the AAAA bringing the anti-trust pitch into these polite discussions,This ruling is far from final and is stillbeing fought by the Authors' League inthe court&

Maybe Bing'11Come Back forGeneral Foods

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Increased specu-lation over the possibility that BingCrosby may not return to the air thisfall has given rise to the rumor, rife forseveral years, that the Groaner may shiftsponsors, moving over to Young & Rubi-cam to plug General Foods' stable. It Isknown that Y&R has been trying towoo Crosby for four years. but that eachyear Kraft has boosted his take and con-sequently retained the singer's services.

This year. says that trade, the possi-bility that he might give in to Y&R'soffers Is even greater since the cash offerIs higher than it has ever been.

If Crosby does return to the air, eitherfor Krafts or for General Foods, it willprobably be late in December. Bing'spresent plans call for one picture, on loanto RHO from Paramount, and a fast tourof the Pacific theater. Tour will keephim overseas until at least the middle ofNovember. and he'll probably want a restbefore hitting the air again.

One plan which Kraft and J. WalterThompson has discussed with the star isto do one show a month when he returns,thus avoiding the strain of weekly broad-casts. Kraft, so the story goes, wouldhave the regular Music Hall on the airweekly, but Bing would take just onemonthly spot.

booster, whose results are viewed as suc-cessful, is licensed for commercial opera-tion, Beville says that steady Improve-ments are being made and he regards theservice as still in an experimental stage.He adds that he has confidence in its widedevelopement. "Bugs" are being removed,he points out, and the additional servicerendered by the installation offsets minordifficulties.

Aiken Proposed IdeaThe booster amplifier idea Is a rela-

tively new one commercially. It was firstproposed by Charles D. Aiken in a paperread at the national convention of theAmerican Association for the Advance-ment of Science. Since then, the generaltheory has apparently proven practicalfor station operators. With the use ofhigh -frequency radio wave lengths Insteadof the conventional methods for excita-tion, many of the original disadvantagesof present booster installations may beremoved, it is believed.

"The use of a booster system," saysSeville. "is desirable for local channelstations which are limited by FCC regu-lations to 250 watts or less and are nowallowed to use a directional antennasystem, and for other stations even withdirectional antennas, to cover adequatelyan urban area having high noise level ofabsorption. A low -power station withseveral strategically located boosters canprovide coverage comparable to that of amuch higher -power station. Such a systemwas planned for Worcester, Mass., butwas shelved due to wartime restrictions."

FM-ers No GetWhat They'reYelling For"Bible" Will Still Be Tough

WASHIHGTON, Aug. 6.-Federal Com-munications Commission, rushing finalFM rules and regulations, isn't yieldingtoo easily to networks and broadcasters'demands at recent hearing on proposed"bible." Hearing lasted three days (30-1),with most networks and other broadcastrepresentatives insisting that FCC pro-posed rules on multiple ownership ofFM. allocations of services and minimumnumber of broadcast hours would retardFM development.

FCC members are exhibiting high In-terest in briefs recorded at hearing. Con-siderable attention is being given, for ex-ample, to testimony submitted by WalterJ. Damm, general manager of radio forMilwaukee Journal Company. Damm In-sisted that FCC should specify preciselywhat six hours of operation of FM areto be required and precisely at what datethe lifting of restrictions should occur.Damm also saw nothing to be gained byFCC's proposal that one hour in after-noon and one hour at night be undupli-cated by FM and AM. He suggestedauthorization of complete duplication.He said that several other proposals, in-cluding the one restricting duplicate FMand AM ownership, need clarification.

Other eyebrow -raisers were commentsof T. A. M. Craven, vice-president ofCowles Broadcasting Company and for-mer member and chief engineer of FCC.Also of Interest was the testimony offormer FCC chairman James LawrenceFly, who agreed with Craven that FCCproposed rules would leave large ruralareas lacking service and that a detailedplan of regulation should not be issuedjust yet. In general, the FCC proposalswere described by radio reps as prema-ture, economically unsound and dis-couraging to FM interests.

In spite of the fact that radio tradelong has said that the late night hourscould not be sold commercially, CurfewTime, good music and philosophy of GuyWallace did It after being on the air fora few months without any sponsor.

Producers of the show were smartenough, however, to sell their show tothe right type of sponsor. It's a "class"program that would not have too wideappeal to a mass audience and wouldnot, therefore, do a job for an advertiserattempting to sell inexpensive merchan-dise. For that reason, since the program'sbeginning more than just a few "low -class" products have been turned down.Rule in the future, too, according toNeblett office, will be to have only qual-ity product advertisers buy additionalparts of the show.

Indication Shat other stations are get-ting into the swing of trying to sell latenight hours is the fact that KFI, Cali-fornia, is now offering for sale on a par-ticipation basis a show called Mirth forYour Money at midnight. Other stations,sold out thruout most of the day andearly night, are expected to follow suit.

Because Hooper does not survey late atnight, ratings for Curfew Time are notavailable. Letters to the program numberabout 40 per day, however, without anytype of give-away gimmick. When Col-lege Inn starts sponsorship, a mall pullwith a give-away offer will be started.Then boys behind the program expect tohave definite proof that the right kindof late night programs can garner anaudience, and then It is expected thatplenty of proof will be available thatthese hours are good buys.

Chi NBC TabsDouble Talk GuyAs Comedy Find

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Radio Row herethis week was abuzz with talk aboutwhat is said to be one of the best com-edy talent finds ever discovered for radioIn this city. Talent, subject of all theconversation. Is Professor Backwards(Jimmy Edmondson), nitery headlinerwho is famed for his ability to mixclever gags with double talk, words andsentences spoken backwards and fast adlibbing. Jules Herbuveaux, program chieffor NBC's Central Division, stirred upall the talk when this week he signedBackwards under option for a net showthat is expected to hit the air in thefall.

Joker behind all this Is that Back-wards has been kicking around the nightspots for about seven years and all thattime radio has been plenty cold to him.Last week, however, Herbuveaux heardhim at the Sherman Hotel's College Inn,where he Is now playing, pegged himfor a radio possibility, gave him a hear-ing before other NBC executives and Im-mediately signed him up with an optioncontract.

Everybody Wants In On ActAs Herbuveaux puts It, "Looks as If

I beat every agency and agent In townto the punch by about one hour. Nosooner did I have him under contractthan everybody In town seemed to wanta piece of him."

Already ...lerbuveaux has had some

commercial "nibbles" for a Backwardsshow. But he Is taking It easy and willnot offer the guy to any sponsor untilhe has a show worked out that is plentygood. It might take a couple of months,he said, but he thinks he's got some-thing on his bands and Is not going tospoil it by putting Backwards on theair until he has just the right type ofshow for him.

No "Rush" ActHerbuveaux claims Backwards is one

of the few comedians fitted for the airwho is new and who hasn't been spoiledby poor program treatment. Possibilityis that his fall vehicle will be a varietyshow, with large orchestra, guest stars.et al.

Voice May SellOld Golds; NoFactor Sales "?"

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Max Factor, foreight months Frank Sinatra's sponsor,definitely checks out this fall, with astrong possibility that Old Gold maytake over the show as soon as the cos-metic manufacturer sends thru the can-cellation. Sinatra, It's said, did notboost the company's sales record nor itsHooper ratings.

If Old Gold does buy, It will drop itsWhich Is Which?, currently followingSinatra Wednesday (CBS, 9:30-10).However, If Old Gold does not take overthe Voice's show, Which Is Which? willbe moved up to 9 o'clock. With the 9:30time vacant, Eversharp is reported plan-

Danny Kaye likewise was down onthe list for favorite variety show but upfor favorite comedian. It would seemthat the script writers might considerthe hint and re -work the programs onwhich these comedians appear. Appar-ently the format of the Kraft Music Hall(Bing Crosby) has much more appeal tothe college student than the format ofthe Jack Benny show (both of these weresecond choice in favorite variety and fa-vorite comedian, respectively). A re-writing and reorganization of the JackBenny, Fibber McGee, Danny Kaye. FredAllen and other shows In a format anddialog similar to that of the Bing Crosby.Kate Smith.

a barnyard full of rather dilapidatedlivestock began to roost on the records.Major Light found new quarters for hisdisks in a big hurry.

March 18, the company moved on toGermany, following the First Army's ad-vance. Stationed In Frauenberg withoutwater, heat or real shelter, everythingwas just like Madison Avenue, only alittle more rugged. To help out withdomestic chores, the station personnel'liberated" two displaced persons, a for-mer sergeant in the Dutch Army and afirst mate in the Dutch Merchant Marine.That helped.

Along about that time the burgomeis-ter of a near -by town appealed to thetroops to help restore order among somesoldiers In his village. The troops ap-pealed to, by strange coincidence, werea patrol consisting of Sergeant Craw-ford, Private First Class Goldberg andPrivate Hellenberg. They restored them-selves to order by methods known onlyto themselves and their Maker until thearrival of a gang of MP's.

Cognac MoveOne of the great unsolved mysteries

of the war, which will probably neverbe cleared up until Churchill writes Illsmemoirs, is the reason why, April 15,the AFN-First Army moved Its quartersto Kassel, Germany. Some light hasbeen shed on the matter by the recentdisclosure that prior to that time, Lieu-tenants Hudgins and Ben Hobermanwent on a reconnaisance trip. They re-turned with an idea for a new locationand 10 cases of captured German cognac.Just how great an effect the cognac hadon future operations has still not beendetermined.

After the move there was a delay ofseveral days before the station returnedto the air. This was caused by a gaso-line shortage which the histrionic abili-ties of Sergeant Crawford cleared up intypical AFN style. Sergeant Crawford,equipped with a five-day growth of beardand his best tough -guy manner, wentout in a jeep to look the situation over.After a hundred or so miles of lookingthe situation over he ran into a convoyof trucks carrying gas to the front.Crawford stopped the lieutenant Incharge and explained that General Pat-ton had sent him out to get some gasfor a tank. The shavetall fell for it,never doubting Crawford's wild looks,but seemed in doubt as to how a ThirdArmy Jeep could carry SHAEF markings.Crawfbrd explained that he had alsorequisitioned the jeep (Patton must havesent him out on foot) and got back tothe station late that night with Ills gas.

Later, after spending some time kill-ing fish with hand grenades to relievethe monotony of K -rations, the AFNwent on the move again, this time toEcersberger near Weimar. There it re-mained, pumping truth and entertain-ment into the heart of Naziland until.after V -El Day, the First Army got itsorders to be redeployed to the Pacific.At that time the AFN was assigned tothe 15th Army to serve the occupationtroops.

Plenty Profs andUnion Execs atU. of W. FM Meet

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Fact that educatorsand groups interested in forming publicopinion are becoming more and moreinterested in entering the field of FMradio was again proved this week by theenrollment at the first annual FM RadioEducational Institute at the Universityof Wisconsin in Madison. The Institute,a two-week affair that started Monday130), attracted educators and unionmembers from all over the country.

Purpose of the Institute, which is be-ing directed by H. B. McCarty. directorof the Division of Radio Education atthe university. is to familiarize Interestedpersons with the means by which theycan get Into the FM field.

Cross-country registrants representareas from California to Nova Scotia, thelatter represented by a priest from St.Francis College there. One of the Cali-fornia registrants is from a teachers'college in San Jose. There also are regis-trants from Texas, Missouri, Connecticut,South Carolina, Alabama, Kansas, Michi-gan, New York and other States. EarleBrown, representing the United Retail,Wholesale and Department Store Work-ers' Union (CIO). came from St. Louis toattend.

To give the Institute attendants aninsight into the possibilities of the FMfield, McCarty, who is also director of theUniversity of Wisconsin radio station,WHA, will have as guest speakers andconsultant a group of nationally knownradio experts. These will include Com-missioner Durr of the FCC; C. M. Jan -sky, consulting engineer for the FM131J:George Adair, chief engineer for the FCC;Maj. E. H. Armstrong, and Morris Novik,head of the New York municipal station,WNYC,

Friday (3). the Institute really gotdown to brass tacks with a discussionled by Novik as to what ought to bethe types of FM station operation in thefuture. At this meeting It was Just

decided that for the best publicinterest there ought to be four typesof operation, or as many of the fourtypes as possible.

1. An FM station operation by a uni-versity, college or board of educationfor "in school" use as well as for gen-eral public consumption. It was ad-vocated that the tutiversity schools. notselling time at all, should program forthe general listener as well as for theclassroom. And as one man put it, Ifthe public wants Jazz, it ought to getjazz.

2. An FM station operated by a uni-versity that sells part of Its time butdoes now allow sponsorship to becomeso strong that good educational andpublic service programs are not giventheir proper place. Here the example

Runyon Bows OutCIAA To Return toCommercial RadioHOLLYWOOD, Aug. 6.-After serving

three and a half years as radio manager -director for co-ordinator of Inter -Ameri-can Affairs, Jack W. Runyon this weekbowed out to return to commercial radio.A Nelson A. Rockefeller appointee, Run-yon has served with a number of agen-cies prior to his CIAA post, includingLord & Buchanan and Company and TedBates in New York.

Runyon's CIAA record shows that onthe 2,184 broadcasts produced under hisdecision, 354 name stars of films and ra-dio were either disked or beamed, viashort wave, to Latin America.

of the station operated by Cornell Uni-versity was brought out as being a goodexample. Safeguard in this type of op-eration, it was said, was the school'scontrolling body, like a board of trusteesor the president or some other public -Interested person or group that wouldprevent operation just for a profit butwould allow partial commercial opera-tion to pay off some of the operatingcosts.

3. Third form of operation was theone about which Novik was the mostoutspoken. For this type of operationhe advocated community ownership andoperation of a station (commercially) bycommunity groups such as labor or-ganizations, local chambers of commerce.Kiwanis clubs, etc.. all working togetherto run the station and making a col-lective contribution for its original cost.Novik said that the danger of one group-such as labor or commerce organiza-tions-owning a station by itself, Is thatit could fall Into the danger of beingone-sided In Its philosophy, Its opera-tion and its programing for the publicgood. Even if labor, for example. wereto run its own stations, one of the In-stitute members said, It could face thedanger of becoming as one-sided as someof the commercial AM operations today,and could run into the danger of thecharge of unfairness placed against it.Thus the need for having groups rep-resenting various community levels runan FM station collectively.

4. Ownership of an FM station by amunicipality. This suggestion, however,was greeted with only luke-warm ap-proval, for It was said that stationsrun by municipal governments could boover -run by corrupt politicians whowould not work in the common good.It was said that there are too few cour-ageous and honest municipal govern-ments in this country for such an op-eration.

WHO'S GOING TO TRAIN 'EM?NBC - RCA IsReady To Go

Programers out of luck-no training available tothe creative side of biz

By Marty SchraderNEW YORK. Aug. 6.-"Where. how and

when are we going to learn the tech-niques which will fit us to operate tele-vision stations when the need arises?"is the threefold question which bewilders

radio technicians, engi-neers and program menthruout the UnitedStates today. And totheir queries a Chorus ofvoices from network'',unions and universitiesanswer: "We are-butwait."

Fast check by out-of-town stations shows that

the men consider television a pleasantplaything for New York. Chicago and Hol-lywood, but something which la athlsecret to them. It's a secret. they say,which they will have to solve in a hurry,judging by the progress the industry Ismaking daily. Left behind the march ofvideo technicians and programers lookto their parent networks, to their unionsand, to a lesser extent, to the universi-ties for an assist. All of them realize theimmediacy of the problem and all ofthem want to be ready when it comes.For. If they do not learn, they see them-selves as a set of switch -throwers in sat-ellite stations entirely dependent upontheir webs for programs. Or, worse still,they foresee the day when their senior-ity will be I,st, along with their jobs:while a fresh crop of university gradsand experienced men from the produc-tion centers take over.

NBC Only Net With PlanOnly network to accomplish any con-

crete objective training so far, Is NBC.which, In co-operation with RCA, hasestablished intensive one -month coursesIn television for engineers at aMilate sta-tions. Begun last October, the RCA-NBOcourse offers concentrated training at thenet's television station, WNBT, NewYork, along with lecture, demonstrationsand working experience. Last year. en-gineers from 28 NBC stations took thecourse. This year more are expected.Engineers are not only allowed to learntheory, but to familiarize themselveswith cameras, lights, sound problems,transmitters, etc., thrti actual experi-mental work. NBC officials say that itIs safe to predict that the RCA courseswill be gradually expanded so that largernumbers of students can be accommo-dated. This will be done, It is said, byestablishing regional training centers atNBC's managed and operated televisionStations as soon as they are erected.

Program Plait?However, NBC has no plan now for the

ASCAP Mulling OwnershipOf Video Music Rights

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Series of specialmeetings by the board of directors ofASCAP anent the question of television,is now being held, with one last weekand another skedded for Thursday (8).As usual, it's the result of radio's put-ting the question up to the society as towho actually owns the small performingrights to the video medium. That ques-tion is being perused but good, rightnow.

In the opinion of many biggies in thebiz, ASCAP definitely has the insidetrack to the tele rights since it has beendeclared legally the owner of the smallperforming rights in many legalistic de-cisions. Therefore, these same men argue,the society will probably have the rightto collect for small performance rightsfor tele for profit. However, there arethose who are dead set against makingany move in the direction of havingASCAP sit behind the driver's seat in thetele field. They feel, and here the argu-ment goes back into past history revolv-ing about the BMI-ASCAP fight, thatthey don't want to center the tele rightsin one large org such as ASCAP, but setup another org somewhat similar toHarry Fox's collection agency for syn-chronization rights for motion pix.

Radio Asking QuestionHowever, one thing is apparent: that,

radio has put the bee on ASCAP as to adefinite answer as to the question ofJust where does radio look for the holdersof tele rights for performances for profit?And members of the board have ex-pressed the opinion that they don't wantto wait until the last minute beforemaking Important decisions. By the lastminute they are alluding to the Im-portant last-minute decision about deal-ing with radio prior to making the deci-sion which resulted In the BMI-ASCAPtiff. They just don't want that sort ofrepetition.

It's known that one of the things thathave come up at the meetings Is the mat-ter of personnel re television and col-lection of dough from factories using

music. So far, latter are on $1 a yearlicense, but with advent of end of thewar, ASCAP is really going to step intothe picture and make up for lost time,

B. G. Finally Gets ReleaseFrom MCA; Hanna ContinuesTo Book; No "Office" Tie -Up

Check That Cuts Strings "Something To Remember"NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Long drawn out

tussle between Benny Goodman and Mu-sic Corporation of America ended lastweek when agency and B.G. came to an"amicable" settlement. Quoted term isMCA's. Final okay came from James C.Petrillo, AFM prexy, who put his stampof approval on Goodman's exiting, butsaid that B.G. would have to pay com-mission to the agency for the durationof his contract, which had until the endof the year to run. It was a 10 -yearpaper starting in 1936.

Actually, Goodman severed all connec-tions with the agency by making ablanket settlement with MCA 'for allcommissions which would accrue till theend of the year. Besides that sum, Good-man has been withholding commissionsfrom MCA for over a year and a half,since last January a year, to be exact.With Petrillo's okay, he sent MCA a com-bination check for withheld commissionsplus figured commissions till the end ofthis year. It's said to be a "helluva"check.

Goodman started his tiff some timeago, which ended temporarily some timelast year in his breaking up his bandand taking a seven -month lay-off. Hetried to break his contract then andhas been trying to ever since.

Feud started some time ago over Good -man's dissatisfaction with the way theagency was handling him. Especiallythe fact that they didn't land a radioshow for him, plus many other griev-ances. He actually auditioned for aChesterfield show this past year, with aband using strings. Nothing came of it.

At the present time he's being bookedby Mark Hanna, his presonal manager,and it's said by those close to B.G. thathe probably won't go back with a majoragency for some time. It was thoughtfor a while that Willard Alexander, nowvacashing from his post as head of theWilliam Morris band department wasgoing to take Goodman over when hisMCA contract came to an end but thereis said to be a rift between them now.At any rate, Goodman signed with MarkHanna, who's now handling him.

Horace Heldt, now handless due to hisfight with MCA, is another who has triedto break away from MCA, but who neverlanded Petrillo's okay. Whether or notGoodman's getting his release will makea difference so far as Heidt's case is con-cerned. Is a matter of conjecture. Butsuffice to say, Goodman is the first bigband to have obtained a release from amajor agency In a long time, and it maystart the ball rolling.

New Pubs PutUp 1G Weekly

It isn't all gravy and onlybiz -wise gang gets it, butthey're signing

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Broadcast Music.Inc.'s new $48 per sheet point, as ex-plained in a recent issue of The Bill-board, will be the incentive for formationof a couple of new major BMI affiliates,with inking set within a week or so. Newcompanies in all probability will be sub -skis of ASCAP firms, lured to the foldby the attraction of almost $500 per timea song shows up on the accurate report-ing sheet (if the tune hits the sheet150 times or more). This same $48 figurefigured prominently in the recent Stev-ens Music set-up, a look-see into whichmight prove profitable for others inter-ested in the Idea.

Stevens Music is a co -venture betweenBuddy Morris, music pub, and HMI, withMorris guaranteeing to spend $1,000 aweek during the year for plugging staff,office set-up, etc., as against a BMI guar-antee of 25G at the rate of $48 per per-formance. That's around 500 perform-ances a year, altho, and this is impor-tant, in the BMI deal with Morris andthe deals now pending with the newaffiliates-which are the same-Stevensdoesn't have to come across with 500plugs per year to get the $25.000. Inother words, BMI is willing to risk thechance of having the firm bit, say, forexample, 400 performances, which wouldamount to around $20,000.

But BMI figures that any time theyenter into such a deal as the Stevensventure, their $25,000 is well worth it,for they know they are going to get areasonable number of plugs since thepeople behind the firm know the musicbiz and will have to come up with a cer-tain number of performances. This workstoward BMI's basic aim, that of increas-ing the number of BMI tunes on theair and since it's known that any hit tunegets anywhere from 300-500 performancesalone, their guaranteeing Stevens andnew firms $25.000 which is tantamountto 500 performances during the year isn'toff base.

Out of the Red, QuicklyThat's level thinking, in the opinion

of learned guys In the biz, since Stevensalready has a big song, There Must Be aWay, which has culled plenty of plugsalready. They'll probably earn that$25,000 and more, In other words, withMorris putting up $52,000 a year, againstBMI's guarantee of $25,000, means thatMorris is laying out only $27,000. Andif he gets one song, as he has now inWay, chances are that he's out of thered but quick.

Funny part about It is that altho BMIis willing to make this $25.000 guarantee '

deal with established people in the biz(that's one of the "musts" of the deal)it's said by unbiased observers that tak-ing the 25G advance has its disadvan-tages. For example, If a small pub makesa deal with BMI for the $4f a sheet shotand happens to hit with a big song, he'sin for plenty of cabbage. However, it hehas the above -mentioned deal, thatmeans that he must come thru with$1.000 a week toward setting up a plug-ging staff and fulfill other salient points.And BMI, to protect itself, has set up(See BMI'S $18 PER POINT on page 22)

First "Pre -Tested" Tunes Being Peddled

By Johnny SippelCHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Application of

psychological preference sampling, whichhas proved a dollar -saver -and -maker toauto manufacturers, meat packers andmany other industrialists Interested indetermining the prospective marketableitems, received its first tests in the musicbiz here this week and came thru withDying colors.

Leonard Keller. ex-ork fronter nowcomposer and writer, is submitting aseries of six scripts and songs for a chil-dren's record album to platter makers,with the guarantee that the material hasalready proved its value, both education-ally and commercially. Keller's songs andstories were tested, as to their entertain-ment and educational value, by post -gradstudents at the University of ChicagoExperimental School. Children in theschool listened to the records, afterwhich they were asked to fill out prefer-ence charts. Study of these charts re-vealed that Keller's use of new colorfulcharacters and his original music, writtenwith simple melodies easy to the ear ofa child, would make the album a bestseller.

In making the preference survey. theL. L. Thurstone rating scale method,which has proved successful in deter-mining the preferences in meats, beeradvertising slogans and car designs, wasutilized. Talks with U. of C. profs, wherethe Thurstone method was devised, andmarket research experts locally indicatethat the study of musical preferences isa practical and not prohibitively expen-sive method of determining what tunesor records would have a strong chanceas future hit material.

using the Thurstone yardstick, appliedto a sample of the population selectedby a standard market research proceduresuch as Gallop's, this method. it wassaid, could determine within a 90 percent degree of accuracy what a pros-pective tune would do as to sales. Thepreference survey Is also a potential goldmine to diskers, who could take 10 oftheir prospective releases and have themtested as to their order of preference.

Cost 20GAccording to Dale Johnson. heed of the

department of industrial research forRobert N. McMurray, Chl testing firm,a preference survey of 10 songs or recordswould cost approximately $20,000 andwould Insure 90 per cent accuracy. Thisfigure would be higher than for othersurveys carried on for manufacturers be-cause music is one of the arts, and psy-chologists have found that a greatersampling of the population is necessarywhen one of the arts is concerned. Thesurvey could be completed accuratelywithin six weeks.

Revival Tests TougherIf a music exec would want to de-

termine the preference value of a set of10 "revival" tunes, the cost would be abit steeper because these tunes must beheard by a larger group of the populationbefore a high degree of accuracy can beachieved. The old tunes are already setin the listener's memory and to arriveat a high degree of preference, a largerpercentage of the population must besampled, 1t was said.

While the preference survey will selectfor the record maker and music pub thetunes which will have the best chanceof making top sellers, psychologists ad-mit that plenty of promotion and ad-vertising will still be necessary to puttunes across. However, promotion of atune or record will have a better chanceof getting results if the tune's potentialacceptance has been proven thru asurvey.

Survey Via DisksActual survey would be carried out

most likely thru the means of recordswhich would be played before organizedmeetings thruout the country, Johnsonsaid. After hearing the disks the audi-ence would be given preference chartsto fill out. The application of the musicpreference test to these audiences wouldthen be fairly simple because it's easy tofind people interested In hearing pro-grams of new music. In making surveys,such as liquor and beer, psychologistshave encountered trouble because sub-jects are harder to find as less of thepopulation show a lilting to be associatedwith the testing of these products.

Radio Segs Pre -TestedColumbia Broadcasting System has

been reaping the benefits of psychologi-cal surveys of listener preference sinceabout 1942. Radio execs in Chi this weekgot an insight into the advantages of theCBS program analyzer when the net'sGotham sales crew explained the opera-tion of the preference survey. Developedabout three years ago by Frank Stanton,CBS general manager In collaborationwith the psychological department ofColumbia University, the program ana-lyzer sets up a preference chart for a sin-gle radio program when a group of sub-jects in a studio express their likes anddislikes for a show by means of a me-chanical device which records their pref-erences on a moving tape. After the showCBS staff psychologists query the sub-jects on their reactions and set up apreference chart. CBS execs have longbased their program policy decisions ontheir program preference analyzer.

Possibility of insured sales offered bythe preference survey are especially im-portant to music pubs and record makersin the present day, music biz spokesmancontacted said, when shellac stortages,paper conservation and shortage of work-ers make it imperative that they elimi-nate the turkeys from their releases. Thepreference survey can also be a vital im-plement in the future by changing theselection of future material from a guessto a science.

Vaughn MonroeHits 14G PeakAt Eastwood

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-High mark of theseason was reached last week by VaughnMonroe in the first half of a two-weekstand at Eastwood Gardens, outdoor ball-room at Eastwood Park, with a gross of$14,000. Figure was well above the pre-vious high of $12,000, which was set byWoody Herman, the week of June 15, andCharlie Spivak, who followed him. Spivakdid nice business In his second week,grossing $11,000.

Park is following a new policy thisseason in holding bands for a secondweek, In many instances with varyingresults. Contrary to expectations, thesecond week has invariably proved weak-er than the first up to date, despite theeffect of a cumulative build-up whichwas counted on to boost total grossesin the second week. Les Brown, whoopened the place May 25. grossed $8,500the first week and $6,000 the second,handicapped by bad weather. JohnnyLong, who followed Spivak July 6, did$11.000 the first week, slumping to$6,000 for the second, again being hit byadverse weather conditions. Stan Ken-ton grossed 17,000 the week of June 8.One-night stand of Tommy Dorsey May24, as a pre -opening special, drew a highof 113,600.

Kenton ReturnsKenton has been booked In to return

this week -end, following Monroe andwill be followed by Frankle Carle. August10; Sonny Dunham, August 17, and TonyPastor, August 24. No band has yetbeen set for the week of August 31, withthe possibility that the Gardens may stayopen right into September, dependingupon late weather and business condi-tions.

An important factor in helping theEastwood Gardens maintain patronage at

level about equal to last year's, despitea general drop in park and all other showbusiness, has been the extensive use ofradio. Band of the week is on the airfrom the ballroom for a half hour, alxnights a week, over WXYZ.

it's come to this department!Payola, which most pubs nowadmit has really gotten out ofhand around town, hit a new lowor high one day a couple of weeksago, depending on which way youlook.

Seems that a plugger went upto rehearsal of name band whenleader was taking a rest. Pluggerhad with him three arrangementshe had made up on his tunes.Idea was that U leader liked themhe'd play them. It's the payolabut with a definite way of gettingtunes done. As It happens, plug-ger brought along the arrangerwho rehearsed the band in thenumbers,

P. S.: Unfortunately, as thestory goes, the leader didn't likeany of the arrangements.

On the Stand I

Billy Bishop(Reviewed at Dutch Mill,

Lake Delcvan, Wis.)(Frederick Bros.' Booking Agency)

With a wealth of experience as a leaderin Canada, England and the U. S., BillyBishop can be counted upon to give theballroom op or hotel room manager justwhat he wants In the way of danceablemusic. Bishop's musical ability Is re-flected in the precision and phrasingwhich his sidemen give to his nifty com-mercial scorings.

Ork is a sweet tenor crew, lining Upwith three tenors, three fiddles, twotrumpets, a trombone and three rhythm.Fiddles are scraped by a cute gal three-some, which makes the ork an attractionboth melodically and visually. For amickey crew, the band has an outstand-ing brass section, starring Jimmy Allen'stine sweet and hot blowing on trumpet.Bishop is well set la the vocal depart-ment, with newcomer, Johnny Warren,coming out of the sax section to handlethe swooners' requests, and Alice Mann,long-time chirp with the crew, display -Mg a sophisticated style that socks.

Band's arrangements are definitely onthe sweet side. but there are some sweet -sing specialties that should soothe theswing savant. Bond has a good stock ofnovelty tunes which feature Bishop andmembers of his crew and work out well asspecialty numbers in a floorahow.

AUTUMN SERENADE Hal McIntyre Victor 20.1711-AFirst major disk out on this unusual ballad is a honey. McIntyre handles ft withPlenty of musical sense and it all adds up to big time. There's no vocal, buttune is pretty enough not to need It.

TILL THE END OF TIME Les Brown Columbia 36828Les Brown's band, now one of the best around, voices this one to a T. It's nicectuff. and altho a little on the moody side, has a nice flow from start to finish.Should wind up big.

RECORD REVIEWSBy M. H. Orodenker

Lightfice portion of review, is intended I users. Boldface portion is intended forfor information of all record and music guidanCe of lake boa operators.LES BROWN (Columbia)Till the End of Time-FT; VC. He'll Have To Cross the Atlantic-FT; VC.

A striking and sympathetic interpretation of "Till the End of Time" Is offered 177Les Brown, giving the slow ballad more pop anneal than it holds in spite of the factthat the melodic theme Is taken from Chopin's "Polonaise." The classical tie. knottedWith Brown's smooth syncos. should give the song a decided lift for strong public favor.With the band teeing off the band chorus, the stage Is set for Doris Day's lilting lyric -Laing which adds more luster to the song, warbling against a bank of sustained brassharmonies. The Brown boys and la Doris spin more brilliantly for Sammy Cahn's andJulie Btyne's timely rhythm ditty, "He'll Have To Cross the Atlantic"-a righteousbounce beat applied to the Jump ditty. and spinning In a most contagious fashion.

Mask ops can count on Les Brown reaping heavy coinage for them with both ofthese sides.

FIVE RED CAPS (Joe Davis)Somebody's Lying-FT; V. Was it You?-FT, V.

The harmony singing of the Five Red Caps serve both of these Joe Davis originalswell. Particularly when blending their voices rhythmically and at a lively beat for"Was It You," a catchy rhythm ballad. The boys warble sentimentally, and to the InkSpots style. for "Somebody's Lying.- Small unit provides adequate musical supportfar the songs.

For joke boo spionings, the needling is brightest for the rhythmic "Was It You?"

TOMMY TUCKER (Columbia)On the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe-FT; VC. Welcome Nome-FT; VC.

It's production pieces for both sides of this platter, evilly the Tommy Tuckertootlers serving as backdrop for the crew of chanters. A thoroly commercial tongpetting is provided for "On the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe," with the song itselfrather than the singing counting for the selling. -Welcome Home." a Tucker original,Ss a timely flag-waver for which Don Brown and the ensemble sing out withoutrevealing any real melodic or lyrical appeal to the home -coming theme music.

Save for the popularity of the song itself in "On the Atchison, Topeka and 6antaFe," there Is little in these sides to excite the pbono fans.

Omaha Legion PostDrops Live MusicIn Scale Dispute

OMAHA, Aug. 8.-Thirteen musiciansare involved in the dropping of music byAmerican Legion Poet No. 1. The world'slargest, at its two night Spot entertain-ment places here.

The decision to drop live music and fallback on recorded music for entertainmentand dancing came as the apparent finalround in the Legion's long negotiationwith American Federation of Musicians,Local 70 here, over pay scales.

Post Adjt. Matt Jaap announces thatthe Legion has rejected the union's latestproposal because It would increase costsof music and floorshows 123.800 annually.Union contract at Legion's Rome HotelClub spot expired In July, and contractfor other place, Legion's home building,expires August 11.

Jmp said that the post offered $2 perman per hour, with 50 per cent morethan leader's scale now In effect at OmahaClass A hotels. Union proposed that thescale remain at $3 per hour per man, sixnights a week, and that floorshow ratebe $2 per man an hour for rehearsals and112 per show per man. The Legion. In dis-cussing the negotiations put word remainIn quotes.

Jaap said that Legion. was In arbitra-tion on pay dispute with C. L. Bagley,AFM vice-president, and all other pointsof difference were settled to the Legion'ssatisfaction.

Since live music has been out at RomeHotel spot. Jaap said, the Legion hasseen no drop In patronage. In fact, thespot has shown a greater profit for theorganization, be said.

Asked about Local 70's side. PresidentHarold L. Black, saxophonist In the bandwhich played at Rome Hotel Club. re-plied curtly. "No story."

Earlier Black had said "obstinate. ar-!Wary action" by Jaap was responsible fordiscordant note between the two organi-zations.

"Jaap L presenting an unfair picture ofthe controversy."

BMI's $48 PerPoint Getting 'Em

Many Artists SigningMany artists are signing HMI contracts

because of the $48 deal, which workssomething like this: if you have a BMIfirm, and hit 150 performances on anynee songs-that Is make the sheet-youget $48 per point for each of the sheetshots from the first one. That means,that if you get 400 shots you get 400times 48. And that ain't hay. If youhave a deal, but you get leas than 150sheet shots per annum, then you getthe regular HMI performance rate ofcents for a net plug and 4 cents for alocal. Such band. as Roach Light, HarryCool and Jose Morand have made dealsOf the latter nature, but they don't geta cent advance unless they deliver. This,of course. differs a great deal from HMI'sother deals with bands in which theyhave given a substantial guarantee.usually around $12,000 a year.

(Continued from. page 3)dough to plug it. The Johnny -Come -Lately didn't know, from nothing, ad-vertising and seldom saw any reasonwhy he should spend more than he al-ready was on the hook for.

The two methods are obviously as wideapart as the poles. The second leads todry rot. The first is a fundamental ofshowbiz: advertise, plug and advertisesome more.

Hinterlands Big Space BuyersOddly enough the biggest space buyers

in the lounge field are not in the biggestshowbiz centers, Chicago and New York.Majority of ops in both cities dependon word of mouth chatter to get cus-tomers. They also do a large transientbiz so see no reason for plugging theirrooms or their attractions. The Metro -pole and the Aquarium, in New York, arefairly good talent spenders, so is Roger'sCorners. But all seem to fight shy ofreal advertising. Their efforts are usuallylimited to outside displays, no more.Even the New York class spots keep theiractivities a secret. Pierre Hotel plugsits fancy Cotillion Room but outside oflobby displays never mentions its CafePierre which uses cocktail talent. OnlyNew York exceptions are the Taft Hotelwhich sounds oft plenty on its CharleyDrew and the 23 Room doesn't keepDorothy Ross's presence a secret. Eventhe Piccadilly with its Three Suns, abig name cocktail unit, limits its plug-ging to institutional ads giving the trioa kind of afterthought mention.

Windy City No BlowChicago lounges are run about the

same way. City which probably hasmore cocktail spots than the entire East,runs them almost in hush-hush fashion.Only about 5 per cent of Chi loungeops peel off greenbacks for local rags.Only about four use spot announcementsand that's confined to low -watt Indies.Lipp's Lower Level shells out about 6175a week; Sky Club about 6200. SilverFrolics spends approximately 8125, andCrown Propellor 6100. These are aboutthe biggest Chi spenders. Others eitherbrush advertising off or limit It to nabeweeklies and night life throwaways.

It's true both New York and Chi ragshave little space for lounge ads and airtime cornea high. But these problemsare not peculiar to any region. Theyare nationwide. Yet, ops in at least twocities, Washington and Philadelphia,have managed to get around space limi-tations and plug their rooms and at-tractions in big-time fashion.

it can't get enough newspaper space.Other lounges, like Ciro's and The Covealso spend, but the lead is Orsatti's.It's true that all advertising is gearedto attractions, or semi -attractions. WhenPhilly spots buy talent they don't hushit up. They show it around. Result isjammed lounges the entire sessions.

Washington also has a number ofsmart ops who know you have to spenda buck to make a buck. For examplethere is the Brown Derby run by AlSimmons who used to be in vaude.Simmons knows showbiz and what Iscommercial. His Brown Derby is only asmall spot but he buys attractions, plugsthem, and collects. El Patio, a slightlylarger spot, seems to be running theDerby a close second. Latter, accordingto bookers, could do a bigger biz if Ittold people more of what is offered.

Atlantic City lounges are almost allbig advertisers, within space limitations.Beach ops draw heavily on Big Townvacation trade and have to plug to getthe customers.

Baltimore doesn't seem to have anyappreciation of drawing cards. Onlyspot in town which seems to know whatto do to stay ahead is Doe's. Rest ofthe boys seem to be satisfied that oncethey put entertainment in. nothing elseseems necessary.

Hotels, by and large, are also way be-hind in plugging their attractions. Whatspace they get they use for stuffy Insti-tutional ads which may or may not men-tion the entertainment.

Lounges Ad -DumbTo the charge that most lounge ops

don't appreciate the value of the printedword, the bookers explain that few ofthem know anything of showbiz. Theyknow they need something behind thebar besides bottles, so they buy a $200-$250 combo. But It is apparent thatthey don't see why they have to put upany more to plug it. In justice to ops,say bookers, there aren't any more than20 to 25 attractions out of 1,000. thatare worthy of plugging. A Milt Herth,a Rollin'. a Tatum, means something.The others are just a lot of guys calledJoe and don't mean a thing. Besides,add percenters, advertise an unknownand right way he starts to think he's bigtime and wants more dough.

But despite the shortcomings, thetrade agrees that without constant ad-vertising many of the now prosperouslounges will die once the war boom isover. The only way customers knowthat a spot Is in existence is by con-stantly reading about it and hearingabout it on the air. The op who is inthere Ditching now when biz is greatwill have a head start on those who wakeup when biz falls off.

In showbiz the policy is spend andplug, and then plug some more, if youwant to collect. It goes double if youwant to collect tomorrow as well as to-day.

No "Silver Platter" For GI ShowsVets or AngelsGet No Assist

Khaki will face regularconunercial theater rulesand no Mr. Whiskers' lift

(Continued from page 3)first have to get his loan okayed by loancompanies. According to reliable sourcesat the Morris Plan, these companies con-sider legit "a bad financial risk." To thedough -passing -out firms the theater hasalways been a gamble and always will.

Again, any sort of a co-operative ven-ture would face opposition from the allpowerful Actor's Equity. Officials feel.from past experience. that "co-ops arebonanzas for everyone but the actor. Hedoes all the co-operating and gets none ofthe money."

Scripts?Now comes the question of material for

these revues. If the vets wish to do ashow that has been done by Special Serv-ices, they will have copyright problemsbut good. All army material is "for useexclusively in military and naval estab-lishments." Only if skits and blackoutshave been written by a G.I. who is notin Special Services and is with some outfitnot connected with entertainment, suchas infantry, does his stuff belong to him.The army pays their Special Service per-sonnel a salary to turn out s'uff the sameway a movie company pays its writers toturn out scenarios, therefore all materialwritten belongs to the army.

No USO AssistThere have been reports that Special

Services scripters cop skits from the USO.However, Lawrence Phillips, executivev. -p. of CSI, feels giving material to pro-posed all -soldier shows would be a horseof a different color. He was very definiteabout the fact that material would not bereleased by the USO to anyone, vets orotherwise. "Scripts are deposited withthe USO as a trust and cannot be releasedfor anyone."

Union HurdlesObstacles that the unions raise to a

project of this sort are well-nigh insur-mountable. They consider the scheme, ifthat of a regular producer, purely a profit -making plan and on a competitive basiswith any other production on the Stem.The best they offer Is a meeting with theirfact-finding committee. This committeewas set up by the legit unions to copewith individuals or groups wanting con-cessions for "experimental" shows. Con-cessions usually mean a cut In unionrates. This fact-finding set-up has beenvery successful In discouraging fly-by-nighters.

Oliver Saylor. biz agent of ATAM (legitflacks), said when asked about post-warall -GI. shows: "Chances are they willhave to comply with regular union condi-tions." Union conditions mean 165 bucksa week for a regular ATAM agent. Saylorfurthermore feels these shows should useunion flacks who have been dischargedfrom the army. He bolstered his argu-ment by pointing out that Winged Vic-tory, This is the Army, and The ArmyPlay -By -Play. three soldier shows, all usedunion p. a.'s at the standard rate of pay.

No "Interim" CardsSuppose the G.I.'s should have guys

who did p. a. work In the army and wantedto break into the union. That's a job ap. a. either has to have five years flackexperience, on the Stem or work for threeyears as an apprentice, with one of theregular union p. a.'s.

The situation at Equity can hardly beconsidered better for the all-G.I. shows.All actors "would have to join the union.They would be considered precisely as anyother group. It wouldn't be practical tolet down the bars," Aired Harding, assist-ant to the prexy of the actor's org stated."Because these men have been in the serv-

New Tax Plan --- 5 Weeks &dieContractors ---6 Weeks EmployeesNEW YORK, Aug. 6.-A new tax plan

which will make performers, employeesrather than independent contractors, Is

being currently mulled In Washington,was learned by The Billboard, last week.

According to the plan all performerswill keep their independent contractorstatus on short term dates. They becomeemployees of the spot they appear in ifthey are held over for six weeks or longer.In other words: up to five weeks inde-pendent contractor; after five weeks, and

ice doesn't mean that they don't have tomeet union requirements."

Harding, be's editor of the Equitymonthly magazine too, felt that his unionwas making a sacrifice by carrying itsown members in service on 'the bookswithout dues for one year after their dis-charge. Obligations that Equity owed toIts own dues payers preclude temporarycards being given to G.I. actors who workspecial shows.

GI. tbcsps would have to Join Equityas junior members. Any actor who is em-ployed in a Broadway show can get in bypaying the $100 Initiation fee and the 18bucks yearly.

G.I. Scene Painters?If producers wanted to use soldier scene

painters, they would again have theirhands full. The Scenic Artists' Union isleery of sharpshooters in the legit fieldand require that scenery be designed onlyby union men. To get into this group ofhighly skilled theater technicians youhave to pass an examination showing yourknow-how of art, scene painting and stagetechnique. After passing the test. theinitiation fee Is $500 with four bucksmonthly. Veterans who has worked Inlegit would get concessions from them.

AGVA helps-a LittleAGVA, the union that has Jurisdiction

over the variety artists. Is afraid a projectof this type might throw their own per-formers out of work by playing in housesthat normally would book AGVA acts.If the show went out on the road for alimited run (two months maximum) thevariety artist org might grant the GI:atemporary cards but if they wanted totour longer that would change the plc.The charge here is $10 to join and 16bucks yearly.

802 RulesAt both the musicians' union (Local

802) and the stagehands (Local 1, IATSE)feeling was that any appeal for conces-sions would have to go before the execu-tive boards of both unions.

A musical on tour has to contend withdifferent rules about the number of menthey have to hire in different cities be-sides their base ork. For example, anout-of-town show hitting New York musthire a man for each person already play-ing In the band. That means If you havea 10 -man ork you've got to hire another10 men from the New York local. InChicago it's different. There you haveto hire a minimum number of musiciansfrom the Windy City local. Each city andlocal has different regulations.

Theaters?-MaybeGetting to the last step atter your show

has been put together and you want book-ing. C. H. Grody, of the United BookingOffice, said that his org Is "wholly sym-pathetic toward the idea of anshow and would give it every possible con-sideration but that the show would havethe same status as any other that waslooking for houses." That means theyhave the other shows to compete with.

So G.I. Revues are going to have tofind angels besides Mr. Whiskers andunion. All they'll have will be the "tag"and uniforms (government says it won'tstop use of Khaki).

starting at six, the employees status, withall deductions.

Washington sources were checked butall disclaimed knowledge of any new taxruling. But insiders insist decision is Inthe cards and will be announced in thenear future.

ExclusiveBoysHave To PutUp or No 5%

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-A new crack-down by AGVA against agents who claima 5 per cent take for exclusive bookingprivileges is in the making. When thedeal was set to permit the 5-10 split,AGVA admitted It was a compromise. Alot of the boys previously used to demanda full 10 per cent whether or not an actwas under exclusive management to an-other agent. Result was that many actspaid 20 per cent instead of the legal 10.

But recently, says AGVA, the old book-ing 5 per cent fee has been worked untilIt's become a racket. One week oneagent claims booking rights for a spot,the next week another agent moves in.The boys get together and split the weeksand the takes between them. To beatthese back alley deals AGVA has accu-mulated evidence against agent -bookersin Chicago, Boston and New York andplans to bring them up on charges.

Meanwhile the union stresses that Itwill no longer recognize any so-called"exclusive" booker unless he files a letterwith AGVA from the operator of a spotIn which he Is definitely named exclusivebooker,

Beantown FeudPlus for Acts;Names Get $$$

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-A red hot feudwhich is helping raise salaries stillhigher, is currently going on betweenRalph Snyder, owner of the BostonBradford, and Mickey Redstone. op ofBeantown's Mayfair. Both spots are cur-rently dickering for the same talent,bidding against each other.

Situation began last May when Snyderbegan his name policy and offered ArtieDann eight weeks to open his room.When comic took the Mayfair Snyderdid a burn and is said to have toldDann's agent that so long as Dann livedbe wouldn't play him on account of theMayfair booking.

Since then it has been one act againstanother, with both Redstone and Snyderbidding to see who got first crack. Ifone performer goes into the Bradfordand does good the Mayfair is after himtight away to open right after he closes.For example. Alan Gale goes into theBradford September 20 for 81.000. Evenbefore the Ink was dry on the contract.Redstone bought him for the Mayfairto open February 20 at 81.250.

Where the whole thing will end no-body knows. Snyder is well heeled:Redstone is no slouch with the moneybags either. In any case whoever comesoUt on top, acts can sit back and letthe boys bid against each other.

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. 6.-Fatal shoot-ing of Al Schneider, Drivers' Union or-ganizer, in the Casablanca night clubhere July 27 and press reports describ-ing Thomas W. Banks, present duringthe shooting, as the sub rose owner ofnearly a dozen outcries and liquor estab-lishments in the city, has brought a de-mand from Mayor H. Humphrey thatthe grand Jury and city council investi-gate all liquor licenses, both on -sale andoff -sale, to see whether or not dummyowners are listed in registrations. Min-neapolis ordinances and statutes prohibitany individual owning more than oneliquor establishment.

Michael Dillon, county attorney, sup-ported the mayor's stand and asked thegrand Jury to subpoena Russell Acker-man, city license inspector, and his of-ficial list of liquor licenses. Dillon alsorecommended that the jury cross-ex-amine all license holders to see if theyare the actual owners or merely the"dummy operators."

Here Comes the PrideNEW TORN. Aug. I.-When better wedding receptions are thrown, Barney

Josephson. Cafe Society owner, doesn't want any part of them. Not after tke onehe gave for Hazel Scott and Congressman Adam Clayton Powell.

Shindig at C. S. Uptown was to tee off Wednesday 111 at I p.m. Invitationswere broadcast to the newly married couple's list. Josephson had his friends andIvan Black, Cafe Society p a., asked local papers and ma, to cover. By 1 p.m.the joint was full of showbiz names, political bigties and two lines, one extendingto Park Avenue. the other to Lexington, were standing two abreast. A flock ofcops, led by a police captain, kept order and invitation holders had to flash theirstubs just to get in line.

In the midst of this turmoil, a dock of lensmen, representing all the New Torkdallies and press associations. marched out of the club in high dudgeon chargingthey were Insulted. Seems that "Life" mug was shooting a series of the couple andthe other lensmen wanted them to pose, too. Powell replied he would be with themas soon as "Life" was finished. Was it all right? It was okay with everybody butthe AP shooter. So one word led to another and Powell told a cop to pot the APguy out. The other cameramen joined the AP and they all walked out.

At this point Ivan Black arrived, all out of breath, and tried to butter up theboys, but no soap. Either we get an apology from Powell or no pin was the ulti-matum. So Black fought his way back into the room to get Powell to say "I'msorry." Instead of an apology, Powell lashed out at Black. Result: No pis.

Later Black said. "This is the nearest thing to the Luxor Baths I've seen. I'vebeen a bachelor for 13 years. After seeing this wonderful reception, I'll remain abachelor for the next 13 years.

Oh yes, in the midst of this rumpus, 3115s Scott became ill.

Snydertold police Saunders allegedly threatenedto kill him, too, but that Snyder, afterhis brother had been killed, grabbedBanks. and used him as a shield to es-cape injury.

Portland Nitery Patrons GetBreak in New Cab Fare Sked

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 6.-Taxi-ridingpatrons of night clubs Just beyond thecity limits get a break in a city ordinancesetting rates for a zone three miles outsidethe city limits. Formerly the city waswithout jurisdiction in this area, and theState public service commission dis-claimed any responsibility. The resultwas that the cab patron was at the mercyof the driver when riding to these spots.

Acting under a new State regulationthat permits the city to fix rates in this"no man's land," the municipal commis-sion approved a sked that virtuallydoubles rates in the city. A person takinga cab downtown to a point in the 3 -milezone will pay the meter fare to the citylimits, where the driver will stop themeter and start It again, the passengerpays double the fare shown on the meterin the scond stage of the ride. On aninbound trip, the procedure is reversed.

Now that it has moved its shows fromthe indoor Marine Dining Room to theoutdoor Beach Walk, the EdgewaterBeach is presenting a better show. Lineis Just as lavish but show lacks big -name talent. Length is little more thana half hour. Indoor room performancesran an hour.

Shortening of show and lack of re-sponse from a noisy, unappreciativeaudience-possibly because many ofthem were too far away to appreciatedetailed work-caused Ben Dove. to cuthis usual routine. Ben Dova's work isbest appreciated by a close-up crowdthat can see his excellent comedy imita-tion of a drunk and difficult gymnasticson a swaying lamppost.

Highlight of the show was one ofDorothy Mid's productions. She hadher 12 -girl line in exotic Arabian andOriental costumes in a Garden of Allahroutine. Line wore golden gowns. Somecarried large feather fans on tall poles;others baskets holding flaming, smokingtorches. It all added up to a sock pro-duction number.

Miss Mild has smartly cast the danceteam of Harold and Lola In the GardenOf Allah number. Couple's snake num-ber fits production like a glove andhighlights act as well as line.

the pewholdera didn't mind because Itwas solid entertainment.

Jerry Wald has scrapped his fiddle sec-tion since his last p. a. and the with-drawal of the gut -scrapers returns hiscrew to its former status among topjump crews. Band also is a better betfor p. a.'s now that Majestic Records hasput Wald among its top recording artists.Kids greeted several of his numbers withapplause, indicating that they had al-ready heard the number via wax. Wald'sclary work is still outstanding, and itsformer close resemblance to Artie Shaw'swork Is fast disappearing. Billie Rogers,ex-fronter, Is a plenty -improved bluesvocalist, and her trumpeting, tops amongfern blowers, also rates a healthy mitt.Newcomer Kay Allen displays a voicethat's extremely listenable on two pops,and the veteran Dick Merrick warbles twosentimental ditties to solid palm -whack-ing.

Screen star Michael O'Shea has an in-gratiating personality that socks acrossthe footlights, especially when he speaksvividly of his memories as a child inChi's tenement district. Could cut theHollywood dialog, as it's human -interestmaterial like his recollections of child-hood in Chi that sell him. IntroedVince Manning who rated a good handfor his rendition of a current pop.

Remainder of the bill Is made up ofLenny Gale, whose impressions, espe-cially the serious mimicking of ClarkGable, rated warm response, and Joe.Lou and Marilyn Caites (father, son anddaughter), whose terping, especially theunusual Lancashire Clog done in mod-ern rhythm, pulled a walloping hand.

the mark but is saved by a few good acts.Chino Ortiz and his Club Brazil ork (20)share the bill with The Cisco Kid in OldNew Mexico. Chris Pin Martin emsees.

Holding the midway slot, Hector DelVlliar, Cuban singer, won approval forgood warbling and demonstration of fancyrhumba steps. A good showman whoadds life to any revue, Villar weakensact by being too generous with his num-bers.

Isabelita in one of the end spots gainedgood mitting for song -dance routine. Shewould improve act by toning it down.Over -acting tends to make routine lose itssparkle.

Teddy and Phyllis Rodriquez gave theticket -holders a good sample of smoothdancing. Also on the bill, Frakson theMagician, who mystifies payees by makinga radio disappear on stage.

Ortiz band does a good job, but ap-pears too big and cumbersome for Itsown good. Most numbers were well -re-ceived, thanks to good rhythm, brass, andfine trumpet work by Ortiz.

Closed with a frilly can-can, equally fast, with both gals beinglifted in tandem for a great finish. Light-ing helped set hoofers off in great lash -ton. Fred Harris's chatter shows markedimprovement. He has his timing down toa point where he doesn't puff Into themike. Now sounds natural and unforced.

Melba's ork cuts the show with bril-liance. On the intricate whirls, lifts andquick stops, an off beat would haveruined an entire routine. But boys werein there on cue all the way. Alan Ritchie.band vocalist who doubles on sax, does apleasant Job with the pipes. Ritchie hasgood phrasing, full masculine voice butlacks showmanship. Learning to smileand showing some Interest would help.

Boone's stuff is not blue, andto prove that a talented entertainerdoesn't have to use dirty material to getover, Boone keeps his routine clean andstill makes a hit.

Other acts were the tap dancing ofConnie Green. a pretty gal who workshard but still needs some polish, and theballroom dancing and vocal Impersonat-ing of Jule and Joanne Walton.

DETROIT, Aug. 4. - Business at theDowntown Theater (2,800 seats; average,$23,000) slumped to $17,000, lowest figureIn recent months, in its first week underthe new Balaban management. Bill,beaded by Skinnay Ennis, lacked the out-standing name vaude which has broughtbusiness to this house in the past. Pic-ture was Rough, Tough and Ready.

Currently, the house has Sammy Kayeand band on the stand, for which it ex-pects to gross around $27,000 for the week.Picture is The Lady Confesses.

At the Fox Theater (5,500 seats), astage attraction was presented as an in-novation, in the form of a personal ap-pearance for 10 members of the cast ofOn Stage, Everybody, which was also thescreen fare for the week. for five days only.Event was handled as a p.a., rather thana true stageshow, and had little effect inbuilding grosses, which did about normalfor the picture.

Harry Salter GivesG.I. Music NeedsNEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Music industry

in the immediate future will receive achallenge from 6,000,000 G.I.'s in the Pa-eine who will want music. According toMaj. Harry Salter, brass of the musicproduction section of Special Services,who has Just returned from overseas-and who will doff his uniform this week,the majority of G.I.'s in the Pacific willmore or less have to depend on them-selves for entertainment. "Lack of recre-ational centers and facilities," says MajorSalter, "long water hops between basesand outlying 'coconut' posts, and thecontinuous movement of troops overhuge areas, will place the responsibilityof smile -raising almost entirely in thehands of the khaki -wearers themselves."

Demand for music In every shape andform will be terrific. Instruments fromharmonicas to organs. trumpets to drums,will be requested. Sheet music, disks,arrangements-every conceivable mustitem will be needed to fill the require-ments of the troops.

The services, anticipating this demand,are gobbling up everything in sight. TheArmy Quartermaster Corps has purchas-ing agents making the rounds of metro-politan cities in hopes of salvaging in-struments. Distrib rate of Hit Kits andSit Down and Play instruction books hasbeen upped. And PX welfare funds,hitherto "untouchables," are now beingtapped to buy juke boxes.

However, according to Major Salter,this won't do the trick alone. Tempowill have to be further increased in notonly the Kits and in instruction books,but the Army Forces Radio Service willhave to step up their "V" disk produc-tion, and sheet music must be mademore plentiful.

These things are problems to the armedforces. To the music industry, however,they can be a bit more. They can be,and are, a challenge. Here, in theopinion of Major Salter, is an oppor-tunity for the music industry to add toits record of co-operation with the armedforces in the E.T.O., but also to ma-terially cash in on a future potentialof a music -wise nation.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Altbo the NewYork legit theaters, as pointed out InThe Billboard last week. are lax In put-ting curtain times on ducats. the situa-tion In Chicago. as in most other Mid-western spots, is just the opposite andhas been for years. A check of local legittheaters and ticket agents by The Bill-board this week revealed that to this oneendeavor to serve the theater -going pub-lic, Chi and other Midwestern legit housemanagers far outstrip their Manhattanbrethren.

A query at the Cheri. Cole and Ls -Salle theater ticket offices revealed thatfor years. with very few minor excep-tions, legit house. here have always hadcurtain time on their ticketa. It waspointed out at the Cole office that evenwhen theaters start shows at time otherthan the usual 8:30 starting time, thenew time is printed plainly on eachticket.

Check of managers of practically allthe local legit houses confirmed thestatements of the ticket agents.

"Archie" Hits From Shoulder;Blasts US 0, Special Service

(Continued /rom page 4)don't announce them any more until Isee the actors.'"

(This gripe is almost unanimous withreturned entertainers. They claim that,in many cases, proper advance notice andbuild-up isn't given and the G.I.'s eitherknow nothing of what's coming orhaven't any idea of who the people are,unless they are radio or movie names.Gertrude Lawrence suggested boys bebriefed for a show Just as they are fora mission so they'll know what it's allabout. In some instances, famous per-formers have played in an area for daysbefore the G.I.'s or all the Special Serv-ice officers knew that they were there.It is pointed out in defense of SpecialServices, however, that such informa-tion comes to him thru the commandingofficer and if the brass hat doesn't passit on, the junior officer can't be blamed.)

"Too Much Soft Pedal""People've soft-pedaled this too much,"

Gardner went on. "This cute littleColonel David in Caserta, Italy, who's incharge of Special Services In that wholetheater, doesn't know what time it is andhas surrounded himself with a bunch ofmorons and won't take the time to talkto us about our troubles. What's hisfirst name? He's not the kind of guywhose first name you ever bother to findout. I'm telling them in Hollywood thatnobody should volunteer to go againuntil they get that guy out of there."

(This is another usual beef of perform-ers who go overseas. The Special Serv-ices men who handle the shows eitherdon't know enough, don't give a damnor haven't the authority to do anythingabout the difficulties that present them-selves. It is inevitable that overseas per-formances will be given under hardships.It may be assumed that almost any per-former expects some difficulties. Butthere is no reason for making the tripany harder than It need be. Camp Showsand Special Services pompously intonethat old lemon that there is a war goingon that has to be won. It's a wonderfulsmoke screen to cover up a smelly situa-tion. But nobody's bothered yet to an-swer the question: Are these hardshipsall necessary'? Is it inertia and ineffi-ciency that prevents conditions frombeing improved, or is it actually impos-sible to get better theaters, set up regu-lar quarters specially for entertainers,and in every way streamline the CampShows and Special Services operations?

If the job is worth doing-the armyand navy brass hats on paper say it isand any intelligent G1. who's back fromoverseas or any doctor who knows some-thing about the psychological impact ofentertainment on morale of soldiers willtell you that it's as important as invad-ing Japan-it's worth doing well. Thereare various claims that Washington isdisinterested, that the C.O.'s in the fieldcan get all kinds of orders from Presi-dent Truman down but some of themstill won't move a muscle in making en-tertainment valuable to their troops.Certainly the experience records of per-sons selected for Army Special Servicesor Navy Welfare and Recreation workindicate the low value placed on thisservice, or else some dumb choosing.First Job to improve the workings wouldbe to get men with showbiz experience-either in the service or out of it and,this is vitally important, give themplenty of authority so they can talk backto brass who won't co-operate.)

Jones BooedBack to Gardner. He told Earl Wilson:

"We played to 100,000 guys when weshould have played to 250,000_ I sawAllen Jones and be said, 'Those lousySpecial Service b a He was booedon the stage by 10,000 G.I.'s. Here'swhy. The USO sent him with a half-hour show to play hospitals-only thereweren't any hospitals-so he had to goon stage and when he ended his half-hour show, all that he had, he said,'That's all, fellows' They booed him.Shows usually run an hour or more.

"We drove eight hours for one showand got a hot wire there'd been a mis-take, start an eight -hour drive else-where. There were 10,000 troops on 10thMountain Division who wanted us butthey made us play to 700 1n Palermo.Special Services is getting to be a joketerm like second lieutenant."

More GripesOther boners that Archie pointed out

Included:

Archie played Duffy's Tavern to anaudience 80 per cent British. "We diedin that show. The Jokes fell flat. I wastelling stories about Mel Ott to a bunchof British WACS."

Marlene Dietrich and the movie galsare happy "because these celebrity -happyUSO Charlies break their necks for agood-looking dame."

Forty performers, including Jack Ben-ny and Larry Adler, waited in a hotNew York room for the USO head whohad something important to tell them.He never showed up, nor phoned to tellthem what was so important.

Don Hutson, famous Green BayPacker pro football star, after waitinghere for five weeks was called to USOand told to get set to go with an athleticact. A USO mastermind asked him if hehas his own arrangements. They thoughthe was a musician.

They're still sending people over in hotwoolen uniforms. You have to go to thePX's to buy light ones.

Another ExampleIf more proof that the whole operation

needs an overhauling were needed, theinside story of the Judith Andersontrip provides plenty of ammunition. Ac-tress, according to a story that has fil-tered out recently, came back plentyburned up and reported some incidentsthat occurred. She told friends how oneofficer kept telling her to have fun whenshe wanted to entertain the boys. Onenight she awoke to find a man, nudeto the waist, in her tent, The soldierinsisted that she come swimming. WhenMiss Anderson complained, the officerin charge told her she was too serious.

In addition to the incidents and diffi-culties encountered, Camp Shows, ArmySpecial Services and Navy Welfare andRecreation Division have much to answeron a subject not heretofore discussed inthe press-the effect of sexy -looking galson the boys who see them. Bluntlyspeaking, it's hard to see how morale canbe helped by gals who throw sex in theboys' faces. A number of shows havegals in them who wear the type of cos-tumes that elicit the wolf call from thou-sands of G.I.'s. Censors of mail, aftersuch performances, testify that the let-ters show the effect of this exposure andthat it does not make the boys happy.

Experienced showbiz people in theservices feel that the wholesome type ofgirl In the long run is better for the boysand Camp Show's should be careful topick gals who, while pretty, do not un-neccessarily stimulate the desire ofG.L's.

Experience of one gorgeous flicker starwho appeared in halter and sl:irt cos-tume and offered to kiss a whole bunchof boys, is a case in point. The moviestar in one instance got a lot more thanshe asked for.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4. -Aqua Follies,highlight production of the sixth annualMinneapolis Aquatennlal, enjoyed a 30per cent hike In gross business over 1044,

Al Sheehan, who with Lyle Wright pro-duced and directed the water show, re-ported at the conclusion of the 13 -

performance run.Sheehan and Wright have been In

charge of the Follies for three years andhave run 38 performances since 1943

without a rainout. Only time they cameclose was on the final night of the 1943show when rains came 10 minutes be-fore the show was over, and on Friday,July 27, this year. when a heavy rainand electrical storm ended 31) minutesbefore show time.

Sheehan said attendance figure thisyear was 50.000, better by 12.000 than lastyear. Four of the 13 performances thisyear were sellouts with turnaways. Thesecame Saturday, Thursday. Friday andSaturday (21. 28, 27, 28). Except foropening night and the two Saturdaymidnight runs, all other performanceswere practically sellouts. Seating capac-ity is 5.000.

Disaster Strikes But ArthurGreets It With Working Smile

By Pat PurcellWAUKESHA, Wis., Aug. 4.-Martin Ar-

thur, in slacks and shirt, perspirationrolling off his forehead, was supervisingthe erection of the final section of bluesat 3:30 p.m. Tuesday (31), when he re-marked:

"When we are up on time, the folksdon't seem to show up, but today, whenwe're late, it is mighty expensive, as thefolks are leaving the lot."

His observation covered the trek ofArthur Bros.' Circus thru Wisconsin,business having been only so-so at Fonddu Lac, Sheboygan and Two Rivers,while at Waukesha the lot was jammedwith customers, but the show was verylate indeed. A three-hour delay in theNorthwestern yards at Milwaukee was thecause. And it took an old college try tohave the matinee ready for a 4:30 tour-nament.

Fully as many people left the sizzlinglot as stayed, and the top was almostthree-quarters filled dt that. Those whoremained were treated to a well-balancedperformance featuring enough fine tal-ent for an entertaining program. Stand-outs were Walter Jennier and his seal,Buddy; Miss Aerialette, in private lifeMrs, Jennier; the Gallagher Family: Jor-gen M. Christiansen's Horses, and Cheer-ful Gardner's Elephants, which includethe two cute little bulls formerly ownedby Bud E. Anderson.

When the matinee broke at 6 p.m., theskies were clear but there was a hint ofrain in the atmosphere, but not enoughto warn of impending disaster. All handswere happy as the downtown ticket salefor the night performance had hit the$2,400 mark. It looked like a big night-but came the rain.

Yup! The rain came in torrents about7 p.m.. along with a lusty wind, and 30minutes later the only tents standingwere Ken Maynard's, the grab and juicejoints and the marquee. The big topeased down but one end was badly ripped.A main guy let go on the menagerie, andthat folded and one of the sectional poleson the side show snapped. And thatwas that.

A light drizzle followed the storm, yetthe folks kept coming, so Arthur and hiscrew started to remove the big topfrom the seats, and by 8:45 o'clock four

light poles had been set around the cen-ter ring and the customers were admit-ted to the uncovered arena. They satthru it while the horses, elephants, tum-blers and wire walkers went thru theirpaces to the damp strains Spud Hedrickmanaged to coax from a thoroly soakedband.

This impromptu performance saved theday from being almost a total loss, as Itprotected the advance sale, and therewere a few others who braved the ele-ments and plunked it down at the redwagon.

Arthur announced that the show willcarry on using the menagerie top or side -wall until the big top can be repaired,a Job he estimates will take four days.It already was in bad shape as the resultof a hail and windstorm encountered atMiles City. Mont.

Arthur has the appearance and atti-tude of a fellow who means to make goodin circus business. lie explained thathe knew comparatively little about itwhen he dove in three years ago. Whilethe preparations were going ahead for

FAIRS SEE POST-WAR BOOMAnnuals Set forWide Expansion

State fairs have buildingprograms set-millions tobe spent by Canada

(Continued from pope 3)suspend and those that have operateddid so under discouraging difficulties,but they came thru with flying colorsand won praise from high governmentofficials who were familiar with theirdefinite contribution to the war effortWith the coming of peace, the tremen-dous advances made by science duringthe war years, the perfection of newtypes of farm machinery and householdappliances, and new methods of agri-culture all will provide new material forthe fairs and will find a public eagerto see the exhibits ar.d demonstrations.

State Fair PlansThe State fairs, which in pre-war years

were the chief means of acquainting thepublic with first-hand knowledge ofprogress in farm machinery and homeappliances, have had little to show dur-ing the war. With the resumption ofcivilian manufacture they expect a floodof commercial exhibits that will dwarfanything heretofore shown. Return ofpeace also will enable the fairs to resumefull scale livestock. 4-14 Club and othereducational exhibits. Building plans arebeing made with an eye to largely ex-tending activities in all educational lines.and in the aggregate millions of dollars

andequipment.

The Minnesota State Fair, off thin yearbecause of 01ST restrictions, will spendmore than half million dollars for anew agriculture building to replace theone destroyed by tire last year. In addl.than. large BUMS will be /spent for variousother improvements on the grounds. TheState fairs of Indiana. Illinois and Iowawill have to spend hundreds of thou-sands to rehabilitate their plants oncethe government relinquishes them. OhioState Fair still is flirting with the Ideaof entirely new grounds and plant.Scores of other large fairs and hundredsof smaller ones. all of which have beenunable to make needed improvementsduring the war. will spend millions whenrestrictions are lifted.

Canada To Spend MillionsIn Canada. the Department of National

Defense will have to spend between$1.500,000 and 112.000,000 to put Canadianexhibitions back in businesa after usingtheir buildings during war years to houseand train troops for overseas service, El -Wood Hughes, general manager of theCanadian National Exhibition, Toronto.told directors of the Vancouver (B. C.)Exhibition at a luncheon last week. Itwill be 1947 before most of the exhibi-tions can resume. Hughes said. The CNEwill not resume until 1947. In additionto the money which the Dominion gov-ernment will spend in rehabilitation Ofexhibition plants, the exhibition associa-tions themselves also will spend largealms in improvements.

Attendance To ClimbPrior to the war, 2,200 fairs in the

United States and Canada had a com-bined yearly attendance of around 80.-000.000. Travel restrictions of the lastfour years cut the figure in half, andIt Is likely to be further reduced thisyear because of the ban on all Statefairs, restricting attendance to localareas. After the war, attendance is ex-pected to soar to new heights. Fairshave long been established as the chiefholiday event of the rural population.and return to full-scale operation andunrestricted travel will bring record -breaking crowds.

Amusement purveyors are not over-looking the possibilities of post-war fairsand are racking their brains to providenew entertainment features that will at-tract an amusement -hungry public.

All indications point to not only aboom in fairs but to a steady end last-ing expansion that will take the fairsto new heights.

Proposed DanburyZoning Laws May PutAnnual Out of Biz

DANBITRY, Conn., Aug. 4.-New zoningregulations, proposed for the town areasof Danbury by the recently created townconing commission, would, if passed, per-manently close the Danbury fairgrounds.

A study of the regulations reveals thatthe grounds, located near the Miry Brookdistrict, have been placed In an indus-trial area zone. Article 9. Section 4, ofthe proposed regulations, covering usesof Industrial areas, prohibits the use ofMerry -Go -Rounds. Roller Coasters. Whirl-igigs, Ferris Wheels and other suchamusement devices.

The Danbury Fair, operated here formore than a half century until 1940,when wartime restrictions caused a tem-porary suspension, Is operated by theDanbury Agricultural Society.

Our pressdepartment went to bat there in squar-ing the animal by writing that, due tothe heat and the air-conditioning havingbeen shut off during the night's run, theHippowallace had lost Its young. Thebosses had overlooked the fact that ourseats were so close to the ring curbsthat they didn't have a hippodrometrack, so the animal was added to theconcert. With the ring curbs removed.there was enough room to bring in theden. When the animal made its appear-ance. those who stayed for the after -show were so astounded that they forgotto applaud.

The shovespress department had again done its weekwell by writing: "A squad of heavily -armed ex -servicemen will act as escortsto this blood -thirsty beast when it cir-cles the mammoth hippodrome track.Nothing Is left undone for our patrons'protection."

BuryDeadHoursIn Class Work,Pres. Brown Says

SEATTLE. Aug. 4.-William T. Brown,operator of Southgate Rollerdrome hereand president of the Roller Skating RinkOperators' Association of the UnitedStates, recently advised the operators toget on the production front.

He believes the time is ripe for in-creased instruction for the public ratherthan to try and build up competitionskaters. The latter will naturally comeforth in that field, while the others willattract more patrons as a means ofhealthful exercising is demonstrated,Brown says.

"Many operators feel that they haveenough business and teaching does notinterest them," stated Brown. "The an-swer to that is that it brings customersinto the rink in the dead hours of theday and that makes those hours pay forthemselves. That Is Just good businessand common sense.

"Perry Rawson has been advocatingskating for the masses for many yearsand the board of directors of the RSROAhave pledged its support for a concerteddrive for teaching in the slack hours ofthe day in all its member rinks. Pro-fessionals thruout the country are be-coming more and more interested in thisphase of the business and are creatingnew customers that have brought moneyInto the coffers of the operators.

"Post-war will find an increased inter-est In dance skating, with the men andwomen released from service taking upa here they left off.

"Many war workers will continue toskate, and when the reconversion Jobbecomes stable in plants and many ofthe employees return to their homecities, they will seek rinks for recreation.That In where the opportunities willcome for the smart operators to con-struct new spots thruout the country.

"The RSROA new division, RollerSkating Teachers of America, which Justheld its initial college course in Skate -land Rink. Denver, has done much tospeed the progress of the business."

Mayor Asks Mission Beach AiringDefendsPolicyOf Operation

Conference with council toreadjust ride prices haresdeal for San Diego funspot

SAN DIEGO. Calif.. Aug. 4.-Irked byrumors that he is a partner of Joe Green,taxicab tycoon. In the operation of tworestaurants at Mission Beach amusementcenter. Mayor Harley E. Knox asked foran airing of "the whole Mission Beachdeal" at a conference in his office withcity council.

Talk of Larry Finley, lessee of the city -owned amusement center, and Green.who has restaurant concession from Fin-ley. held the attention of the conference.

Finley was given the lease on MissionBeach this year upon his offer to pay thecity 520.000 plus 2 per cent of his grossreceipts. Council was reminded thatWayne Millard. who had the lease previ-ously. had bid 520.000 and 5 per cent.

Mayor Knox said Finley had beenawarded the lease because of factorsother than profits. Finley had outlined,as all bidders had been requested to do.a policy of operation. His policy morenearly fitted the desires of the councilthan Millard's, councilmen said.

Russell Rink, private patrol wagoncress -line assistant to the city manager.defended Finley by saying he had In-vested considerable money in the prop-erty, which would revert to the city atthe expiration of his lease. He saidFinley had even operated a private patrolwagon at the beach for a time In aneffort to assist in policing.

"Sailors don't molest girls out thereany more." said Councilman Charles C.Dail.

Mayor Knox said that he consideredFinley a good operator doing a good job.

Councilman Ernest J. Boud said thathe believed the city could operate thebeach as well as any private inventor.Mayor Knox retorted that the city hadtried to run It. and City Manager FredA. Rhodes added that when municipaloperation was in effect "the city was be-ing gypped."

The conference was called primarily todiscuss re -adjustment of fares on rides.Some rides cost 19 cents, and the Merry -Go -Round fare Is 11 cents. Finley hadasked that the city 1 -cent tax be takenoff the Merry-Clo-Round, and that the15 -cent charge for certain other rides beIncreased 1 cent so that the gross wouldbi an even 20 cents and eliminate an-noyance of handling pennies.

Council agreed to accept a recom-mendation of City Manager Rhodes thatthe cent deal be eliminated without Icesof city revenue. He proposed that thecity increase cost of 15 -cent rides I cent,with the extra cent going to the conces-sionaires, and that the city take an ad-ditional 1 cent tax on the Merry -Go -Round, with the operator reducing hisprice 1 cent. Finley would be requiredto reduce his take on the Merry -Go -Round from 30 per cent to 20 per centso that the operator's net would be un-changed.

Motor City MinnieDoubles '44 Play

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-Business at MotorCity Park, oldest established miniaturefunspot here, has doubled this season.according to Victor Horwitz, owner. Hor-witz gave as the reason for hypoed bizthe absence of competition and the re-location of the park site, using a long.narrow midway facing on Outer Drive.

Plans call for erection of a new conces-sion building next season to run alongone side of the midway. Rides will beinstalled along an extension of the mid-way toward the rear. Two small con-cession buildings also will be erectednext season, Horwitz says.

Major advantage of the. Motor City lo-cation is its location across from RougePark, largest city -owned park, which hasan estimated, quarter of a million visi-tors each week.

Supreme Court Tosses OutMiller's Verdict To RegainPossession of Coney's Luna

Pates and Associates Breathe Deeper and EasierNEW YORK, Aug. 4.-William Miller

will not regain posses.sion of Coney Is-land's Luna Park after all, and PhilPates and his partners are breathingeasier.

Decision in Miller's favor granted byJudge P. Morrissey in Eighth DistrictMunicipal Court, Brooklyn, June 22, inthe dispossess proceedings brought byhis attorney, Irving Erdheim, against thePrudence Bond people, owners, thru thelatter's current lease of the exterior toAbe Seskin, Phil Pates and Chick Guelfi,constituting the Resort Amusement Com-pany. present tenants, was reversed byJudges MacCrate, Smith and Stelnbrinkin the second part of the Appelate termof the Supreme Court August 1 upon anappeal filed by the Prudence firm imme-diately following the earlier verdict.

Pending the outcome of the decision,Seskin. Pates and Guelfi were halted intheir business activities covering theirleased area and suffered, they say, con-siderable dough loss Incurred thru thecessation of further rentals for conces-sions and the inability of granting of ad-vertising okays to ciggie, whisky andother commercial outlets. From thesethere would have accrued a larger profiton their one-year lease investment, theyclaim. With these disturbing facts Inmind, Seskin. Pates and GueIf' them-selves have a legal ex to grind when theproper time presents itself.

In the meantime, other Miller suitsare due to be aired as fast as court cal-endars allows. These include one fordamages and breach of contract, alsoagainst Prudence, and four more for con-spiracy, one each against the two Dan-ziger Brothers, Eddie and Harry, Miller'sco-partners in the Luna AmusementCompany, Luna operators, covering sea-sons 1942-'43-'44: a third against JacobSchiff, financier, and a fourth againstSamuel W. Dorfman, Schiff's lawyer. Thefour sults also have to do with the divi-Sion of an amount of $152,000 received byPrudence as insurance covering the firethat destroyed about 60 per cent of thepark near the end of the 1944 season,and with other issues. such as a proposedsale of the park that involves Miller andOthers in a maze of pros and cons.

Cole Rolls AgainAfter Wreck Delay

(Continued front page 41)Smith claimed injuries causing the lossof his hearing as the result of a explo-sion of a box of torpedoes.

The trooper's attachment against theshow was nullified by the posting of a$20,000 surety bond pending a prelimi-nary hearing of the case August 15.Those named in the summons includeManager Burkhart, E. S. Webb, John Doeand Estrella Terrell, es president of theHoosier Circus Corporation. Mrs. Terrellis not officially listed as the president ofthe corporation.

Reports from members of the circusindicate the torpedoes were used as propsfor a clown gag of the show.

Not since the hectic days of 1935, whenthe Cole entourage was organized andreadied for the road in only four months,have its troupers had the opportunityto rally to the call of their leaders asthat presented following the Minnesotawreck. Other executives joined withTerrell in praising the swift completionof repairs.

Despite a maze of twisted steel andsplintered wood, only two of the morethan '700 employees were injured, neitherseriously. The derailment occurred inthe middle of the train. Prop wagons.trunk wagons, and plant and stringerwagons were the only ones to crash.Stock cars and flats loaded with me-nagerie cages on the front end of thetrain were untouched, as were thecoaches at the rear. One flat was twistedbeyond repair.

On Five System FlatsThe rebuilt train resumed its tour

with five system flats of the NorthernPacific In use.

A proffer of assistance from the Ring -ling -Barnum show, which promptly of-fered to loan the Cole organization re-placement flats from its own property.was gratefully acknowledged by Terrell.The speedy repair of the damaged equip-ment, however, made It unnecessary toborrow.

Costly in every other respect, the de-railment also robbed the Cole tour ofseven Minnesota and North Dakota dates.potentially red ones on the basis of earlybusiness done in that area. The citiesmissed while repairs were being madewere Fergus Falls, Moorhead, Bemidji,Hibbing, Brainerd and Virginia, all inMinnesota, and Grank Forks, N. D.

An unscheduled performance wasgiven at Brainerd Wednesday night (1).when a special show was improvised forthe benefit of war veterans and theirfamilies. Many of the regular circusacts appeared on the program.

Far -Off FieldsBy E. F. Hannan

THEBEST BET for rep, and especially

tent rep. are the agricultural sectors.A few seasons ago a friend shipped a tentoutfit several hundred miles thinking hemight get bigger dough In what was.opposed to be a boom district. Aftera month, his bank roll counted less thanIt had in former season. in his well-establlahed territory.

There Is a certain friendly good willwith rep that la only built up over aperiod of years, and I have seen thisknocked down ao many times that I feel.re that any operator who passes up acertainty for an uncertainty Is In error.

When rep gets too close to urban pop-ulations It may draw some so-calledstock audiences, but thla type Is fickleand expects more for its money thanany clam of show -goers. This la not ISOof the med show; nor Ls It true of therevue -type show. These do well nearcities and where floaters make up partof the expected trade. But rep can benursed along so that the same audienceIs back again year after year. This isonly done when the show plays on a per-sonal pride. Par-ot7 fields have wreckedmany rep shows.

Editors The Billboard:E. F. Hannan's article. "Plantation

Shows." In the July 28 fatale of The BM -board mentions J. C. Rockwell's BunnySouth, one of the well-known all -coloredtroupes of 25 years' ago and later. Thewriter, while trouping with circuses manyyears, never missed an opportunity tovisit the colored minstrel shows thattoured the Southern States. I saw A. O.Allen'. New Orleans Minstrels in Green-wood. Mu., In opposition to Sun Bros.'Circus over 35 years ago, and the DandyDixie Minstrels In Camden. Ark. Bothwere top-notch and featured a flashyparade with a good band.

Pat Chappell's Rabblta Foot Company;Silas Green From New Orleans, undermanagement of Eph Williams and laterCharles Collier: the Florida Blossoma.and Huntington's Mighty Minstrel areother colored troupes I have seen undercanvas. Others that played theaters yearsago were Richards & Pringle's Minstrels.Billy Kersanda Minstrels. Frank MaharaMinstrels. the Smart Set Company andRat.° & Holland Minstrels. P. G. Low-ery, an old friend who was acclaimedthe greatest cornet soloist of the coloredrace, was band leader on these shows.

Prom time to time. Hannan mentionspopular names of minstrel stars thathave come and gone. It la good to seethat a few all -colored troupes still carryon in the old South. Twenty years agoI used to see the advertising cards andposter. of J. C. O'Brlen'a Georg. Min-strels In dozens of towns from Savannahover the Cajun country of Loulaiana.

R -B Miniature MadeUp of 275,000 Pieces

(Continued from page 43)he had a burning desire to own a circuseven If it were only a miniature.

Adding piece by piece daily. Dunnshapes the pieces on a jeweler's latheand a Jigsaw-the only power tools heuses. The circus, built on a scale of one-half inch to a foot, packs 123 toy trucksof varied descriptions. It can be erectedin 60 hours and takes 38 hours to dis-mantle. Lighted by more than 500 smallelectric bulbs, the show, to date, hascost Dunn 82.000.

Starting the miniature in his home,the model outgrew those quarters andwas moved to a basement in a downtownWichita office building. Dunn has beenaided by his wife and three children.His oldest son, Charles, 13. has beendaubing gawdy circus colors since he wassix. and his brother, Kenneth. can rigthe entire menagerie without help. Hiadaughter, Beverly Ann. 9, helps hermother with the trappings and sewing.

Led by a band and calliope, a parade150 feet long makes its way into thecircus grounds. Talkers attempt to en-tice the crowds before they enter the bigtent. Circus -goers mill around a pinklemonade mend, while others throng tothe menagerie, where a giraffe cranes hisneck over the edge of a high wire cage,and a lazy hippo basks in a pool filledwith water by a tiny fire hose 25 feetlong. More than 1.100 animals are por-trayed.

At the entrance to the Big Top a ticketseller rings up admissions on a tiny card-board cash register. And inside, the showis In full swing. Tiny clowns go thrutheir antics, and growling lions mounttheir perches. guided by the crackingwhip of their trainer. Aerlallsts awingdizzily by their teeth high above, and atight -wire walker balances precariously

SachetBy E. F. Hannan

SACHET is an item that has been con-stant with salesmen and pitchman

almost since the first tripod was set up.It would be hard to number the manypitchmen who have turned to t1118packaged perfume when times were dullor bank roll was low.

I knew one of the pioneer. who foryears pitched in the market district ofBoston. Andrew (Andy) Graham was avaude performer In his more youthfuldays and as he got older be turned topitching. While he worked many items,he never entirely let go of sachet.

In Andy's time, gardenia was the pre-vailing bouquet, but today's changingbuyers move from one scent to another.While powder sachet still holds on. thereis also a cake form and various otherStyle packages available. I have oftenthought that med workers and medshows miss a trick when they fail totote a supply of sachet. It's a push -overfor the feminine members of the tip.

COSTUME ACHES TOUGH(Continued from page 30)

by dyers is slow and there Is no guar-antee of matching or against fading. De-signers who call for satins, taffetas, nov-elties and sequins may be out of luckbecanse they're hard to get. Pre-war or-naments.and metal braiding aren't to behad any more, of course, Pre-war fabricsnow on hand are being rationed.

Skilled craftsmen are harder to findnow, with tailors, sewers, milliners andembroiderers at a premium. WLB ap-proval of salary raises and reduction ofworking hours for the industry will re-flect slower production and higher prices,which show skeds and budgets must takecognizance of. One customer said thatlabor and material costs are up almost50 per cent over last year. Dyeing, print-ing, hand painting and other convertingoperations also come higher this year.

Situash sums up, in the words of thehead of afainbocher, that costumer, de-signer and producer must use greater in-genuity in doing the Job this year-dough alone isn't the answer.

Post -War Aches Face IndustryUtteinploym'tPrime Worry

OBright side shows 7,000 toput out $9,000,000,000for next year's expansion

CHICAGO. Aug. 4. -Total number ofunemployed workers is going to rise, buteven so there are going to be some firmswho will not be able to find enough men.That's the conclusion reached by a re-cent Industry -by -Industry survey madeby the government.

Purpose of the detailed study la to at-tempt to determine what effect reconver-sion is going to have on the employmentsituation in the months to come. Gen-erally speaking, this latest survey Is inagreement with an earlier survey by theWar Manpower Commission which placedtotal unemployment at the end of 1945at 1,300,000 and by mid -1048 at 1.800,000.

Principal concivalon drawn from thislatest survey is that the unemployment"'Vuitton will continue to be "spotty."This means that there are going to beshortages and surplusres of manpower atone and the same time. At first glancethat prediction may seem contradictory,but a glance at some of the Industrieswill serve as a demonstration.

Explain ProblemAs more and more war contracts are

canceled, workers will be released fromtheir wartime lobe and will be seekingother means of making a living. Manyof them, however, will not be so a Mingto accept lower -paying and dirtier,physically exhausting work after theirexperiences in wartime industries. Atthe same time. industries, like coal, willfind It difficult to recruit new workerswho will be badly needed this winter tobolster diminishing coal stock piles. Andthat will be one of many cases where asurplus and a shortage of laborers willexist aide by aide.

General observations growing out ofthis survey reveal that aviation, one ofthe largest of wartime Industries, is goingto have to release many of Its worker.despite the Increasingly good prospectsfor civilian flying after the war. Steel,lead, coal, tires and tubes, radar, textilesand seasonal processing of foods will allhelp absorb some of these workers.

Again, however, these latter industriesare faced with trying to recruit workerswho will start at a low salary and manyof them will be offering jobs requiringheavier and dirtier work. A certainnumber of workers will, of necessity, beforced Into those jobs Immediately, butthe turnover is likely to be large andmany will be continually shopping forbetter paying and cleaner tasks.

Must EqualizeThe big problem is to equalize short-

ages and surplusses In labor by makingreconversion as gradual a process as poa-sible. Some observers In Washingtonhave lately made the statement thatshould Japan suddenly surrender, or hoforced out of the war sooner than Is nowexpected, the country would find its In-dustry bogged down.

Industry, according to a new surveyby the Department of Agriculture, isbeing very optimistic about the post-wardays. A study made among 7,000 manu-facturers reveals that those manufac-turers plan a 89,000,000.000 expansionprogram during the next 12 months.Their optimism Is based on the expectedvolume of consumer demand during thenext year.

These figures, It is significant to note,are based on the assumption that the waragainst Japan will last until the middleof 1948. Should that phase of the warend sooner that this date, It is expectedthat the expansion outlay might be in-creased over its present staggering high.

Editorial

Market ShiftsBy Walter W. Hurd

THE WAY In which changing coinmachine market conditions zig-

zag across the map is often hard toexplain even by people In the in-dustry. 'To those without the in-dustry, this zig-zagging irs, the mar-kets is a real mystery.

The way in which these changescan take place rapidly wan recentlyillustrated by a trade that suddenlysprang up between operators In Wis-consin and In neighboring Minne-sota. Thru a long chain of politicaldevelopments that started morethan two years ago In Wisconsin, anew and rather extreme State lawwas recently passed by the Legis-lature which furnished the legal au-thority for a real crusade againstgaming devices and gaming of allkinds by giving the State power torevoke the trade licenses of estab-lishments In which gaming deviceswere found.

This all happened at the begin-ning of the 1945 tourist season InWisconsin, and the tourist trade 1sone of the biggest single businessassets In the State. The touristtrade is also vitally important toMinnesota. So when State officialsbegan to move against gaming de-vices In Wisconsin, the Minnesotatrade recognized the opportunityand began to buy machines as fastas they could get them for the pres-ent summer season. Operators inboth States were able to find a defi-nite mutual basis of trade exchange,for Wisconsin operators began tobuy all the juke boxes and arcadetypes of machines they could get inMinnesota. A real traffic betweendistributors and operators In thetwo neighboring States suddenlygrew up, a condition which Is wellunderstood in the trade.

Sudden changes in the politicalstatus of a State or city are usuallythe immediate cause of a suddenshift In coin machine markets, al-tho coin machines are subject to

the various trade influences that af-fect all other lines of business.

The political changes which tookplace in Wisconsin recently reallyhad strong support in a reformmovement that started more thantwo years ago against bingo andsimilar games, spearheaded by twoInfluential reform newspapers In theState. The bingo crusade gainedsuch momentum that it even at-tracted national attention, and asusually happens in such cases, thecrusade epread to take in all typesof games, even pinball. For a longtime the reform newspapers made aspecial practice of publishing thecomplete State Income tax reportsof men in the business. Some of thebest known distributing firma in thetrade had their complete incometax returns published in bold -facetype in the newspapers. This setthe stage for a reform drive oncethere vows a change In administra-tion.

But not all the market shiftshappen to games and gaming de-vices. Political conditions alsostrongly affect the markets forvending machines and even musicmachines.

A strong lobby maintained by theretail drug trade in Iowa han keptcigarette venders on the illegal listin that State for many yearn. Vend-ing machines were the subject ofstrong legal opposition for manyyears in Oregon and Washington.Since it Is rather difficult to findreasons to make music and vendingmachines illegal, the usual methodfollowed against these machines isto foster exorbitant taxation.

Because the coin machine trade isa comparatively email industry, It Is

not always able to defend itselfagainst ouch opposition, but it Ls

easy to see how these maneuveringsof political opposition cause theshifting of market conditions invarious States and cltlea.

SOX 0.457, CARE THE BILLBOARD, CINCINNATI 1, 0.

OTTAWA, Aug. 4.-A new Canadiannickel, to be issued some time during1946, will mark a return to the samekind of 6 -cent coin Issued In this coun-try before the war.

The new nickel, which wilt have 12sides, will be made of nickel Just a. Inpre-war days. In 1942. the Royal MintIn Ottawa turned out a copper -colored12 -sided nickel which was almost a dead -ringer for the Canadian 1 -cent coin. In1943, Canadians were issued a shiny steel12 -sided nickel.

Government officials. announcing thenew 5 -cent piece, said that the newnickel will go into circulation along withthe copper -colored and steel coins.

This news comes as Ottawa rings withdiscussions of Canada's role in worldfinance, and as officials demanded thatCanada be put In the proposed interna-tional financial plan designed at Bret-ton Woods to stabilize currencies.

No RevaluationIn asking Parliament to accept the

Bretton Woods plan, Finance MinisterDaley. speaking for the government.again declared that there ls "no founda-tion" for the rumors that the Canadiandollar would be placed on par with theUnited States dollar. These rumors de-veloped several weeks ago in New Yorkand In London. The present rate of ex-change values the Canadian dollar atapproximately 91 cent. United Statesmoney.

The government Is asking Parliamentto agree to two proposal.. based on theBretton Woods program. Those two pro-posals call for 11) the establishment ofan International monetary fund, and(21 an International bank.

The International monetary fundwould provide for the exchange of cur-rencies of particular countries at pre-viously fixed rates. This proposal. sayits advocates, would let each countryknow exactly where It stands In relationto another country. The value of sucha proposal to the export-import trade iseasily apparent.

Regarding the establishment of aninternational bank, the advocates saythat this bank would be created forreconstruction and development. Thebank is Intended to make and guaranteelong-term loans to countries which needcapital for rebuilding war -damagedproperty and for general economic de-velopment In the poet -war period.

U. S. TradeSaid Finance Minister Maley, comment-

ing on the need for fixing the cur-rency rate of exchange between COUP -tries: "A reasonable degree of exchangerate stability Is necessary If trade is tobe carried on without excessive risks.Moreover, as we all know, we havenormally sold more to the United King-dom than we buy there. while we buymore from the United States than wesell to them.

"Our Interest in seeing these institu-tions set up Is not solely altruistic,"Ilsley went on. "We think that this

country has a great deal to gain fromtheir establishment. Foreign trade lavery important to us, and foreign trade '11cannot possibly flourish under condi.Hone of chaotic changes in exchangerates competitive depreciation blockedcurrencies and so on.

The Canadian Government's expressedinterest In keeping everything aboveboard so far as currency rates of ex-change is concerned Is an open bid forimport and export trade. It Is expectedthat exporters In other countries, par-ticularly in the United States, will, viewthe finance minister's statements wiappreciation and whole -heartedmeat.

Distribution of BeeSugar Higher in JimiOf '45 Than for 19

CHICAGO, Aug 4. -The United SteBeet Sugar Association reports that bsugar distribution for the month of Jutotaled 1.915.927 bags of 100 pounds eatwhich represents a gain of 33259 bover June of 1944 These figures are fUnited States distribution.

The total distribution for the firstmonths of this year was, however. 3.per cent lower than distribution for Isame period last year.

Eastward movement of beet sugars Inthe fourth quarter of this year maynecessitate the re-establishment of zon-ing for primary producers, according toB, W. Over Company. sugar economistsand brokers. That firm pointed cat thatIndiana. Ohio and Michigan refiners maybe zoned out.

There has been a marked increase Inbeet sugar production as 1945 passedhalfway mark, but even ',that increasedproduction is not generally expected toreflect in the total sugar shortage.

Dip -Coat Takes WrappersOff Frozen Food Package

CHICAGO, Aug. 4. -The vending ma-chine trade learned with interest thisweek of the development of a newmethod for covering frozen foods bydip -coating those foods In a molten.plastic -like material. This new methodWAS announced by the Western RegionalLaboratory of the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture.

Purpose of the new covering, accord-ing to the laboratory. is to eliminatepresent sealing problems involved Inwrappings of waxed paper and cello-phane.

The laboratory explains that the coldfrozen food is dipped in this liquid ma-terial which hardens and becomes solidon contact with the frozen food andleaves a film covering. The coveringhas no folds, cracks or seams and there-by shuts out air and prevents moisturefrom escaping.

Of the suitable materials availableat this time. the laboratory aays. plas-ticized paraffin is the best. Synthetic

resin or lacquer will be used for thesame purpose when those materials canbe obtained.

Frozen food blocks and packagescoated in this manner hold their qual-ity and food value for long periods ofstorage. say the scientists who conductedthe original experiments. The coatingis removed easily when the frozen foodla allowed to thaw a little. At that LIMAthe covering is easy to strip off.

The possibilities of dip -coating arelarge. An immediate use to be seen 1$the covering of meat and poultry. Sint*the material is liquid It will adapt it-self to any shape and leaves very littleair In the finished package.

WEST COAST RECORD PICTUREIndies GearedTo Competish

Launch plans for PacificCoast Indie Record Mfr.Association, is report

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-Independentrecord manufacturers are gearing to meetthe competition of the big companies

i following the release of disking materialswhen this business returns for a free-for-all with the majors pitting name artists,large production and distribution set-upsagainst the little fellows.

So Intent are the Indies on putting upa hot fight that Leon Rene, president ofRxelusive Records, has already launchedplans for Pacific Coast Independent Rec-ord Manufacturers' Association, whichwill include the indie record makers. en-velope and packing manufacturers, press-ing concerns and, in fact, every concernthat has anything at all to do with therecord business.

Make First MoveRene started the ball rolling a couple

of weeks ago when lie changed his entireset-up on the manufacture of his records.Naming Ben Ellison as general manager,Bane plans to open offices In Hollywood.Latest release by this firm, The Honey -dripper, shows potentialities of storing upover a half -million sales. Firm has itsown presses and distributes thru JackGutshall Distributing Company. It willcontinue to distribute thru Gutshall.

A survey made last March in San Fran-cisco by The Billboard revealed that op-erators in that section were burned upover the way the Indies were handlingtheir orders. The gist of opinions wasthat the operator would order recordsand the indie, whose production is small,would not even acknowledge the order.Later the shipment would be made. Op-erators contended they were getting hotnumbers long after they had cooled.

This practice is out with the manufac-turers here. Most of the concerns arelocated in this section. The accusationsof laxity in business management filedby the e ge e rators

companiestaieregeneral-practically

forall thesame charge.

Indies Wake UpCoast Records, which was originally

Rodeo Records, was one of the first to seethe handwriting on the wall; that is,they had to take record selling as bigbusiness. Firm Is owned and operatedby Charles E. Washburn, well known Inthe coin machine field. Under the direc-tion of Gladys Washburn, who knows herstuff about coin machine merchandising,Coast started to set up an elaborate sys-tem for handling records, getting newbusiness and servicing the old patrons.A large building on West Pico, in theheart of the coin machine field, was pur-chased. Unable to get into the new lo -Cation until November, Coast remodeledIts present location installing shelves tofacilitate the handling of orders. On topof this, five girls were employed to takecare of orders. Each order received to-day is immediately acknowledged by let-ter, telegram or telephone. If the stockOn hand doesn't permit filling the orderin its entirety, some of the numbers areshipped with the order filed to be com-pleted upon the arrival of the first stockshipment.

The Honeydripper shows signs of out-selling Please Believe Me and MexicoJoe, the latter two early releases of Ex-clusive. In order to take care of thedeluge of orders, Jack Gutshall Distrib-uting Company leased the store spaceadjoining its present location on WestWashington Boulevard, added four mento Pack and ship and a crew of girls toacknowledge all orders. Like Coast, Re-clusive also has its own presses and canCentro' the pressing output.

Gutshall also has the distribution ofStecelsior Records, known from Coast-W-O:wet for its I'm Lost, a King Cole Trioetoording. Excelsior is owned and op-atapted by Otis Rene, a brother of Leon*Ise. The concerns are separate and

Night Club Movie Mch. PointsWay to Entirely New LocationDETROIT, Aug. 4.-The recent instal-

lation of a specially -controlled Panoramin a Detroit night club by Don Kennedy,operating as Visual Engineering, Inc.,points to a new use of this type of ma-chine. Details are briefly Indicated in astory in the Night Club Department ofThe Billboard.

The installation is in alickey's ShowBar, North End spot operated by MickeyJarvis, and is centrally placed so that thescreen is visible to practically all patronsof the 350 -seat place, whether at tables,on the dance floor, or at the bar. Ascreen about 6x8 feet is used, and theprojector is installed at the far end ofthe room, some 80 feet away. Speciallens equipment has been installed tohandle the exceptional throw for a ma-chine of this type and it now functions

Mexico Lack of Anti-Slu OrdinanceCauseMany Op Problems

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4.-All Is notsunshine in the Juke box game inMexico.

One of the greatest blights In the livesof the operators is the lack of a law pro-tecting them against use of slugs in theslots. Here the operator has to dealwith the ingenuity of the Mexican people.

Mexican love music but many of themcan't afford to sit and feed a machinedimes. One operator said with the re-signed air of an old-timer in the businessthat there are some amateurs who willspend hours in making a slug that willgo thru the slot. There are others whowill put a dime in the. slot, but attach apiece of chewing gum to its bottom sothat the dime comes back out after mak-ing contact on the inside. This way, onedime will play innumerable records be-fore it is caught in its theft of music.If this is repeated often enough, the slotsoon becomes congested with dried chew-ing gum and becomes useless. This op-erator said the most desperate thingneeded in Mexico is a fool -proof slot.

Because there is no anti -slug law,candy and cigarette vending machineswould be a complete failure in Mexico.

distinct, despite the blood kin. Excel-sior has its own plant, also. This firmalso has a publishing business. But withthe new Hollywood office being estab-lished it is probable that Exclusive willalso go in for sheet music.

Insure EquipmentThe establishment of the Pacific Coast

Independent Record Manufacturers Asso-ciation is planned also to insure the in -dies of equipment and supplies. Rightnow the boys are having a pretty toughtime of It. Exclusive was on the vergeof running out of envelopes only lastweek when a shipment came thru to savethe day. Packing cards are also scarce.Gutshall is adding wooden boxes at abouta buck a throw to hold a 200 -record ship-ment. The wooden boxes will be used forshipments going to Honolulu for Sloan

Gesas, distributors in that section.But, on the other hand, pasteboard car.tons for shipments in this country arealso scarce.

Gutshall is not the only one havingsupply trouble, for Ken Brown, of Gilt -edge, is in the same host. He took overthe Giltedge label from Dick Nelson.Brown was scouting the firms seekingboth envelopes and packing cards. Hisrequests for envelopes locally were for asufficient number to continue shipmentsuntil an order for 1.000.000 is filled.

No duties for the PCIRMA have yetbeen outlined except to have the Indiesand their supply channels stick together.This will also include the expediting ofmaterials, which will enable the Indic toturn out more disks faster.

To the little boy in the tree, it lookslike the Indies are going to be in therefighting.

smoothly, so that it is not even neces-sary to lower the house lights while theshow Is on.

Use Coin SlotThe projector is mounted on a high

stand, where It is safely out of the wayof the curious, and is run by a regularunion projectionist, a member of theIATSE. The coin chute Is left attachedto the machine, and It will remain con-trolled in operation by this device, withthe projectionist taking care of this de-tail.

Special films will be used, however, se-cured from standard 16mm. film librariesin New York and Chicago. Jarvis, whowill handle his own programing, plansto use about 75 minutes of material avail-able in a typical show. However, thiswill be divided into 12 to 15 -minutelengths and run off In these lengthsalternating with a dance set by the or-chestra, so that patrons are given con-stant entertainment, even while theband is taking their own intermission.

Shows planned include comedies-withMickey Mouse, corresponding to the nameof the spot, occupying a prominentplace-newsreels, musicals and otherspecialties. In addition, Jarvis plans oc-casionally to take pictures of the patronsin the spot, after giving them due warn-ing, so that only those who wish to bephotographed will appear, and run themoff on the same night the followingnight.

Shows will be changed twice a week,like a theater bill Tuesday and Friday,so that there will be a real inducementfor the local trade to drop back thesame week.

Wis. Coin. OpsIn Twin Cities

S eekin 0- JukesMINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4.-Shifting mar-

kets because of change in political con-ditions in Wisconsin have brought coin -men from neighboring States to the TwinCities in large numbers in search of jukeboxes and accessories in recent weeks.This all came about because the Wiscon-sin Legislature, at the beginning of thetourist season, passed an unfavorable lawagainst the use of gaming devices andsimilar amusements especially in taverns.

Because the big tourist season was justbeginning in the two States, the Wiscon-sin trade found a ready market in thisState, because for several weeks now aheavy tourist traffic is expected in spiteof adverse travel conditions.

Altho the situation is recognized asvery favorable for the Wisconsin trade.a mutual system of exchanging types ofmachines has developed quickly betweenthe two States. The Wisconsin tradewas ready to sell its games and gamingdevices to the trade in this State whilethey were anxious to buy all the Jukeboxes that could be had. The Minne-sota trade says that juke boxes are veryscarce, and that the demand by the Wis-consin trade has drained out too manymachines from this section.

Reports from tourist trade In Wiscon-sin already indicates that the State cru-sade is having adverse effects on thepeople in general. The customers whocome into the State from neighboringcities and towns are very much displeasedand they are voicing their feelings open-ly. It is felt that if Wisconsin wants toplease its tourist customers it must cer-tainly not go on any reform stampede inthe future.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Music and SoundSystems in Industry is a new book writ-ten by Barbara Elna Benson, who is Incharge of the record division of StationWMCA, New York. Miss Benson was for-merly program director for RCA -Victor.Her book was published by McGraw-Hill.

The book will be valuable to the tradechiefly for the bibliography of books andmagazine articles which it contains, andfor the many pages of "discography."

One of the big problems connectedwith industrial music programing hasbeen the decision as to what kind of mu-sical numbers and what specific piecescould be successfully played during thework day. For purposes of programingindustrial music, the day is usually brok-en up into starting and quitting period,work period, lunch period and specialevents.

Author Benson devotes the largest por-tion of her book to charts which list sev-eral hundred musical selections and givethe times when they are most appro-priately played. Her findings are basedon surveys conducted thru a number ofindustrial plants. Along this line, thebook has some interesting observationson the kind of music which should beplayed at the start and close of the workday. A controversy has been going onfor a number of years on this subject andBenson's book will add heat to that dis-cussion.

One of the large and noticeable omis-sions in this study is mention of jukeboxes in smaller plants. Benson makesno mention of the fact that there are anumber of smaller organizations whichhave been successfully using the Jukebox for a number of years. The factthat her book seems largely concernedwith big plants may have something todo with the omission.

Music and Sound Systems in Industryis more concerned with methods of han-dling industrial music programing thanwith equipment for carrying on suchwork. In that limited and theoreticalfield, it accomplishes its purpose, tho thetrade undoubtedly would like to see atechnical study of the kinds and typesof equipment used in such work.

Exclusive, DistribReport Biz RushingLOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-Hitting a

number that is outselling all expecta-tions is the good fortune of Jack Gut -shall Distributing Company and Exclu-sive Records here, with The Honeydrip-per, by Joe Liggins and His Honeydrip-pers. The record has Parts 1 and 2.

Leon Rene, president of Exclusive. andGutshall picked up the tune after severalindie record makers had turned It downas not having the qualifications of a hit.Waxing It, the Gutshall DistributingCompany, which handles Exclusive andExcelsior records, made shipments to keypoints. From then on the orders flowedin by telegraph, air mail, mall and long-distance telephone calls. The sales todate total nearly 100.000 disks and therelease date was only seven weeks ago.

Gutshall admits that In the two yearsthis firm has been distributing Indiarecords he has never had a bit like thisone.

"The sales are most fantastic." Gut -shall told The Billboard. "I've never seenanything go like it." The sales, the dis-tributor said, far exceed Please BelieveMe, Mexico Joe and others by Exclusive.Firm is now readying a Joe Liggin'srecording as a follow-up. "I think itwill out -do lioneydripper," Gutshall de-clared.

S. ROHLIG and J. GOLDBERGhare formed the Century Coin Ma-chine Company, with headquartersat 1689 West Philadelphia Avenue,Detroit.

GLEN GRAY (Decca)Cotta Be This er That -FT; VC.While You're Away -FT; VC.

It's a danceable disk with a forthrightfox-trot rhythm for the melodic linesthat Olen Gray sets forth In this two-some. A bright tempo Is set for GottaBe This or That with Fats Daniels'rhythm singing to carry the familiar ly-rics. For While You're Away, an attrac-tive ballad from the movie My Reputa-tion, the romantic spirit 13 moved lyric-ally by Skip Nelson and instrumentallyby the trombone.

LOUIS PRIMA (Majestic)You Won't Be Satielied-FT; VC-Thre's a Broken Heart for Every Light on

Breadway....FT: VC.It's a field day for broken hearts in

Louis Prima's latest pairing. Of particu-lar Interest is You Won't Be Satisfied(Unit! You Break My Heart), a new sen-timental ballad rich In rhythmic quali-ties. And Prima makes the most of itInstrumentally and vocally. Has thepiano and trombone selling the Infec-tious melody while the maestro reserveshis talents to his stylized throatings. Thesame rhythmic mood is maintained forthe way -back -when There's a BrokenHeart for Every Light on Broadway. Forall of Prima's trumpet tootling and LilyAnn Carol's rhythmic chanteusing, itshould have remained way -back -when.

FRANK SINATRA (Columbia)I Fall in Lave Toe Easily -FT: V.The Charm of Yoo-FT; V.

Prom his movie stirrer, AnchorsAirefgh, Frank Sinatra brings to thewaxes a brace of Sammy Cahn -JulieBtyne lush ballads. With Mel Stordahrsmusical background heightening the ef-fectivenesa, The Voice's Interpretation IsIn high order. Most attractive Is theplaintive melody for the torch chant, I

Stemming trom hi. screen show. both ofthese Frank Sisals sides stack op s strong-les for the mask boxes, par -11.'1.1y FallIs Love Too

ETHEL SMITH (Dacca)Lisa -FT.I Cot Rhythm -FT.

The faatidious fingering at the organby Ethel Smith, bringing fanciful varia-tions to both of these George Gershwinmelodies, makes this spinning a listeningdelight. Victor Young's music makers,on the assist, provide a colorful fiddlepizzicato background for the start of theLiza spinning, and then Miss Smith picksup the tempo to speed proportions forher organ variations. The Young back-ground adds instrumental body to herspeed organology for I Got Rhythm. Forthose favoring Miss Smith's Instrumenton record, her virtuosity makes for mas-terly selling.

While these sides are hardly commercialtare for wide phone play, they will serve wenwhere the MU', hos is caned upon to provideatmosphere mulls.

EDDIE HEYWOOD (Decca)Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gana

Blue Loo -FT.His rhythmic piano improvisations set-

ting forth a highly individualized style,Eddie Heywood offers a double platterof piano Interpolations for both of theseevergreens, both beat out at a stomptempo. While the Heywood band Is aweak mate for the maestro, the trom-bontat crowds the leader man for Instru-mental honors on Please Don't TalkAbout Me When I'm Gone. For IndgarSampson's Blue Lou riff opus, Heywood'skeyboarding sparks the ensemble. How-ever, neither side builds up to any realinterest for the piano-msestro or hisband.

Phone attentlee will center largely at therace locellons, where the lire haueds will rec.oenist "Blue Loa'.

box operators are waging a campaign forless volume.

In Mexico, it is common practice tomake a Juke box go as loud as It can,with the result that the music can oftellbe heard three blocks away. The soundseems to have a joyful effect on peopleIn bars, so naturally the bar owners lettheir machines go full blast.

This is one of the main problems Inthe juke box business, a leading operatorsaid, because people In higher sociallevels object to the noise as somethingvulgar and objectionable.

One of the largest distributors hereIs the leader In the campaign for lessnoise. Every machine that goes out ofhis store or shops Is accompanied by hisverbal warning for less volume, tellingthe operator, or the individual bar Orrestaurant owner, that the surest way tokill business Is to follow the practice ofblasting Mexico's eardrums with volume.

The blues shouting of Lonnie Johnsonrings true for both these original raceblues, both of the back -biting variety.and good diction on part of the shouterto make for strong selling. Side spinssolidly and with greater effectiveness forWatch Shorty. They'll be putting plentyof nickels in the phonos at race locationsto hear Lonnie's warning that when yoursweetie isn't home to greet you, you canbet your bottom dollar that Shorty isback in town.

Rooster Serenade-FT.Cuban Polka-FT; VC.Polka From Brazil-FT.U. S. Army Polka in Jas.:-FT.U. S. Navy Polka in faxx-FT.

It's a happy blend of polka rhythmswith modern dance beats, including theLatin rhythms, that Howard Kingachieves with his large band for thesesides. Imparting a polka character to asouth -of -the -border setting, the blendis effected smoothly for Polconga, withHal Kanner's descriptive lyrics addingluster to the side. Kanner, sharing thelyric with Vera Holly, also make It anattractive novelty for Cuban Polka. Theorchestra applies the polka beats effec-tively to a samba melody in Polka FrontBrazil. For Rooster Serenade, which fol-lows closely to the melodic polka line,King adds a forthright fox-trot tempowith the clarinet riding out on the tune.Not as attractive is the setting of themilitary marches to the polka beats forthe remaining two aides.

New Firm Will Make, OperateIce Cream Vending MachinesDETROIT, Aug. 4.-A new firm to pro-

duce and operate coin -operated vendingmachines for ice cream is being organ-ized here by Wortham A. Snell, underthe name of the Food Dispensing Ma-chinery Company. Headquarters are at20-15 Book Tower, and the firm is asso-ciated with Howard Crawford, of theCrawford Company, well known In thedevelopment and promotion of new in-dustries.

Snell himself has had numerous con-tacts In show business in the past, andIs a nephew of the famous showman,Clarence A. Wortham.

Dispense PintsThe new machines are designed to op-

erate at various price levels and to takeIce cream units from the nickel packageup to a full pint. In the latter respect,they serve as an efficient substitute forthe huge number of Ice cream countersrequired to dispense packaged ice cream,and are one of the first to attempt thedispensing of ice cream by machine inhome -size packages.

Each machine Is being designed toserve only one type and size of ice cream.The size may be varied by controls onthe machine, according to the coin con-trol, but It Is Intended that a unit onlocation will be used for only one pur-pose. A selective -type vender that couldhandle as many as 10 different venderswas experimented with, but it was de-termined that the single -purpose venderwas superior In the case of Ice cream.

This reduces numerous obvious com-

Saroyan AutomatMeals at $17 Week

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-In Englandpvt. William Saroyan, the famous writerand dramatist, gave vending machines aplug according to a report in LeonardLyons' column for July 24.

Said Saroyan, according to Lyons:"What Ed like to do Is to be able to pro-duce my shows and charge 50 cents aticket. I'm not interested in the money.I like automat food, and I could get byon 815 a week."

When asked whether he wouldn't liketo go out with a girl once in awhile,Sampan said, "All right, make it $17 aweek."

Crop ProspectsFor Nuts Good

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Only limited ac-tivity was reported here in the local spotpeanut market, but most traders wereeying the growing conditions for the newcrop, which continue favorable in mostparts of the country.

Trade observers are optimistic aboutthe coming peanut crop, especially inthe Southwest where prospects look verygood. Most places have been receivingsufficient rain for good growing condi-tions, except for parts of Georgia, buteven there the situation is not serious.

Many mills are closed down, accordingto the trade, because trading has beenat a standstill in all sections. The millsare likely to remain closed until thenew crop offerings begin to arrive.

Canadian Soft -DrinkTrade Has Hopes forSome Relief Soon

OTTAWA, Aug. 4.-Canadian softdrink manufacturers are going to getsome relief soon to compensate them forthe loss in sales volume occasioned bythe tight sugar rationing. The trade ex-pects this relief will come in the formof a reduction in the present "spread"allowed to retailers.

In pre-war days, the retail margin ona 24 -bottle case of soft drinks was ap-proximately 40 cents, but a 25 per centexcise tax, imposed In 1942, increasedthat margin to 48 cents-which means aprice increase to manufacturers of 10cents per case.

A recent brief from the beverage man-ufacturers to the government sought tohave the 25 per cent excise remitted,which would, said the manufacturers,tend to offset the cutback in productionfrom 65 to 50 per cent of their total 1941output. If the government had grantedthis request, it would have amountedto Some 16 cents per case price relief.

TRACE POPULATION SHIFTSBeverage BizIn P -W PlansImprovementsWill Spend $50,000,000CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Soft drink manu-

facturers are prepared to spend $50,-000,000 in plant Improvements during thefirst year after the end of the war, saysJohn J. Riley, secretary of the AmericanBottlers of Carbonated Beverages. Theimprovements depend, of course, onwhether or not the bottlers are assuredan adequate supply of sugar.

Riley said that approximately 40 percent of the nation's 6,000 soft drinkmanufacturers plan to build new plants,while an additional 12 per cent intendto remodel their present facilities.

Unable to obtain new machinery orsufficient repair parts for old machinery,the bottlers say that 60 per cent of theirtrade intends to replace existing ma-chinery. Riley stated that the Industrywill have to buy some 20,000 deliverytrucks during the post-war period.

The bottlers' current output of softdrinks is at the lowest level in the his-tory of the entire wartime period, saidRiley, and no relief can be expected un-til there Is an improvement in the sugarsupply.

Candy Industry OverTop in 7th War Loan

BALTMORE, Aug. 4.-The candy in-dustry here has gone "over -the -top" inthe 7th War Loan Drive, and the finalfigure made known by the industry Is81.880,500, it was announced by JohnWintz, local sales representative for thelargest candy manufacturing firm of thismarket, who served as chairman of theentire committee, of the campaign.

The final figure fell a little short tothe final figure realized at the 6th WarLoan which amounted to 82.000.000.However, it is believed, some additionalamounts will be reported during the cur-rent month, which will enable the figureto top the previous high.

The committee in the drive includedbesides Wintz: I. F. Kartmen, presidentof Lord Baltimore Candy & TobaccoCompany, and chairman of the candywholesale group; J. F. Blrkmeyer, presi-dent of J. F. Birkineyer & Son, Inc.,chairman of the cai.dy manufacturinggroup, and T. Donald Elliott, local salesrepresentative for D.

Those who attended the regional meet-ing here, after examining the code ofethics, gave It their hearty endorsementand pledged themselves to support it intheir future business,

By far one of the most interestingparts of the meeting in Baltimore wasthe "Information Please" panel, whererepresentatives of every branch of thevending machine trade participated indiscussion. Representatives of manufac-turers, distributors and operators an-swered questions which were put to themfrom others at the meeting.

Speaking for the beverage industry,and answering questions in that fieldwere Gardner Tillinghast, general man-ager of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co., Bal-timore; T. Gordon Mason, sales managerof General Field Activities of the Dr.Pepper Co.. Dallas, and Emery Flinn,president of the Spacarb, Inc., of NewYork, These men were deluged withquestions relating to the sugar shortageand its effect on the beverage trade.

Candy, gum and nuts were discussedby Philip A. McGinnis, manager of theCanteen Company, Baltimore; ArthurEchil, secretary -treasurer of D. Golden-berg, Inc., Philadelphia; Burnhart Glass -gold, sales manager of Arthur H. Du-Grenier, Inc., Haverhill, Mass. These menlikewise found a good portion of thequestions directed at them were con-cerned with the candy prospects duringthe continuing shortage of sugar. Theyalso answered questions regarding theoperators' use of equipment in vendingcandy, gum and nuts.

Cig Men TalkThen representatives of the cigarette

manufacturers and the cigarette vendingtrade took the floor to answer and dis-cuss questions put to them. Leaders inthis discussion were George H. Duckett,sales manager of the G. B. Macke Cor-portion, Washington; Lewis Gruber,assistant general sales manager ofthe P. Lorrilard Company, New York,and John Mill, sales manager of theRowe Manufacturing Company, Belleville,N. J. The three men dealt at some lengthon the shortage of cigarettes and pros-pects for the future, treating these prob-lems from the angle of the operator, pro-ducer and equiriment manufacturer ofthe machines employed.

At the meeting were the members ofthe Baltimore regional of NAMA, withtheir president, A. Stanley Reehling,president of the Vending Corporationof Baltimore. NAMA members fromMaryland, Delaware, Virginia and theDistrict of Columbia were present, as wellas bottlers of carbonated beverages, in-cluding the executive secretary of theMaryland Association of Carbonated Bev-erages, Edward Piper.

Census survey shows driftwestward in marketing andproduction during war

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4,-Since the be-ginning of the present world conflict,population shifts have been in motionand peacetime industry has been turnedtopsy-turvy. Whether these people mov-ing from one part of the country to an-other will return to their pre-war homesand jobs cannot be ascertained. Industry,we do know, however, will once again re-turn to pre-war standards of operation.and production with the aid of muchexperience gained during the past fouryears of top war production.

J. C. Capt, director of the Bureau ofCensus. writing for the governmentbulletin, Domestic Commerce, relatesthat, "normally, these forces which shiftpopulations, developing almost impercep-tibly at times, have been stimulatedmainly by the lure of economic opportun-ity for the millions. But with the countrydevoting more than half its resources towar, these forces have been channeledto suit the national purpose, and the re-sults have been cataclysmic."

What effect these changes have had onthe coin machine industry might neverbe known, but the fluctuation of coinmachine business in the immediate post-war period, compared with pre-war busi-ness activity, can certainly be attributedin some part to these war -provoked popu-lation shifts and industrial changes.

Island Op Says Jobbers ShouldFind Hawaii Good Export MarketLOS ANGELES, Aug. 4. -West Coast

Jobbers may well eye the HawaiianIslands as an outlet for coin machinesfollowing the war, Eddie Fernandez,Island showman and coin machine op-erator, said. With the transferring ofmen to the Pacific to continue the waragainst Japan. the business in the Islandswill continue heavy. But. Fernandezsaid, there will be big business In thatsection after V -J Day.

Fernandez Is in the States attendingto business connected with the operationof his Civic Center Theater, where he hasan amusement park and arcades.

Of prime importance in the Honolulusection at this time are Juke boxes. SkyFighters and athletic equipment such asgrip machines and punching bags.

Fernandez is one of the first operatorsof the Photomatics in the Pacific. Hepurchased four in 1930 and found sucha demand for them that he moved themfrom spot to spot around the Pacific.On one occasion he had them set up inManila for the Filipinos' Mardi Grasand did about 6,000 pictures for the day.

The arcade section of his Honolulupark has been about the busiest place inthat section. Opening at 10 a.m., thespot has remained open until 5 am. totake care of the crowds. At present thespot is subject to curfew regulations

Washino. Mfrs.Get Quotas forSummer Period

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. -WPB has as-signed additional priorities assistance forthird quarter production of 148.093 do-mestic washing machines and supple-mentary authorizations for 27,993 re-frigerators.

The WPB had previously fixed a pro-gram calling for the production of265.000 mechanical refrigerators perquarter. The new supplementary au-thorization leaves 9,298 Snachlnes yet tobe assigned. All refrigerators made un-der this program, or under the spot au-thorization ruling, will be placed in afrozen stockpile and will probably notreach the public until 1946.

Washing machine quotas assigned are:Apex Electrical Manufacturing Company,Cleveland, 35.585; Beam ManufacturingCompany, Webster City, Ia., 9,079; Hor-ton Manufacturing Company, FortWayne, Ind., 4.800; Vidric Products Cor-poration.

A check of these figures reveals thatthere still remains 46,110 washing ma-chines to be assigned to reach the 350,000per quarter level previously set underthe program. Manufacturers of washingmachines may manufacture without re-strictions above this number fixed forquarterly production on which they getpriorities assistance.

Shipping Line toPhilippines NovOpen: Exporter

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 4. -There aregoing to be greater opportunities for ex-port trade after the war according toMichael Harris, exporter, from this cityand chairman of the Foreign TradeWeek held here this spring. Harris madethat prediction after returning from ameeting of the exporters advisory com-mittee of the Foreign Economic Ad-ministration in Washington.

Harris told his audience at a Chamberof Commerce luncheon that the UnitedStates Commercial Corporation, an agencyof the government handling exports toforeign nations, Is planning to retirefrom the export business to leave thegap open for American manufacturersto enter the field.

As of September 1. Harris said thatGen. Douglas MacArthur wUl withdrawfrom the distribution of civilian com-modities in the Philippine Islands andthat the general is desirous of seeingbusiness men take over the function. Al-ready, according to Harris. shipping linesare offering safe transportation to aPhilippine port.

The U. S. C. C., said Harris. Ls enteringinto no new contracts, and is making aneffort to settle all existing contracts be-fore the end of 1945. He said that manu-facturers may make their own allocationof goods between foreign and domestictrade except in cases where a few es-sential items are involved. Trade with theMiddle East is being hampered, how-ever, by exchange difficulties, saidHarris.

'More Ice CreamFrom Less Sugar

Dr. Tracey suggests thatformula be changed withview to greater volume

CHICAGO, Aug. 4. -Got a vendingpachine that's without ice cream?

well, it's possible to have more Icecream and at the same time use lessSugar, according to Dr. Paul H. Tracey,head of the Dairy Manufacturing De-partment of the University of IllinoisDepartment of Agriculture.

Speaking here at a hotel, Dr. Traceytold members of the Illinois Ice CreamManufacturers' Association that there iss way to have more Ice cream and at thecame time use less sugar. Ice cream

;milers. like candy and soft-drink manu-facturers, faced with getting along on 50

per cent as much sugar as they had in1941, may grasp Tracey's idea and find itprofitable.

After he had commented that most Icecream manufacturers are already using.fugar substitutes, Tracey suggested for-mula revision as the one way to increasethe amount of ice cream made and sat-isfy the public demand. The formularevision which he made, according toTracey, will not impair the taste of theice cream.

"We have tested several dozen formulasand are convinced an Increase of 1 percent non-fat milk solids coupled with aa per cent sugar reduction will producesatisfactory ice cream," Tracey said.

"There seems to be little hope of moresugar," he added. "and this revision willbe beneficial to the consumer's diet be-cause it adds protein at the expense ofcarbohydates " In plain language, theprofessor means that his formula wouldmake Ice cream more valuable as a food.

Just what reaction the worried icecream manufacturers will give Dr.Tracey'a suggestion is not yet known.

POPULATION SHIFTS(Continued from page 69)

Coast States gained about 1.700,000 thrumigration and by July 1944, the popula-tion of the West, as well as the South,was up nearly 4.000,000, while that of theNorth was down 3,000,000. These figuresinclude military personnel, and the pres-ence of many camps In the South con-tributed to the growth there. Millions ofmen and women have been taken Intothe armed forces, and their Induction,training, and disposal on distant frontsconstitute the major wartime populationmovement.

But altho this latter movement wasunprecedented, it Is of a temporary natureand Indeed its reversal has already begun.

Even more far-reaching in effect, be-cause relatively more permanent, Is therelocation of workers In established andnew industrial areas. These millions,mobilized to help produce war materialare a part of the industrial economywhich will become increasingly availablefor peacetime production of civiliangoods. In the coin machine industryalone a harvest of war workers who havebeen engaged in war material productionIn plants which manufactured coin op-erated devices prior to the war will staywith these plants and contribute greatlyto the growth of the coin machine indus-try in the next few years of reconversion.

Westward DriftThe marketing, production and popula-

tion center of the United States, duringthe war has slowly drifted westward, dueto the vast military and industrial move-ments of the war. The total character ofmodern warfare speeds technologicalchanges that cover in months the groundthat would ordinarily take years. Thiscondition will also be felt in the produc-tion of post-war coin -operated devices asthe skills and speedier methods of produc-tion practiced by these workers now em-ployed by pre-war coin machine manufac-turers will do much to speed productionof coin machines into markets as soonas reconversion takes place.

Surge of population to the West andthe seaboard areas is evidence that ad-ditional market facilities and recreationalactivities must of necessity be set up toservice and answer the social needs of thenew masses. Streamlined coin machinemarketing, as planned by many firms,as well as new amusment devices withcoin operation will play no small part Incoping with the demand of these newlylocated millions who will stay in theirpresent locations of business and homeat least until another economic upheaval.

Of the metropolitan areas in the Westand along the seaboards, 82 gained 3,407,-785 civilians while 55 areas lost 1,916511.Every one of the West's 15 metropolitanareas-Spokane, Denver; Pueblo, Colo.;Phoenix, Ariz.; Salt Lake City; Stockton.Calif.; Seattle, Tacoma, Wash.: Portland.Ore.; Fresno. Sacramento, San Jose, LosAngeles, San Francisco and San Diego.Calif., in that order-showed substantialgains. from Spokane's 8 per cent to SanDiego's 42.9 per cent.

Of the South's 47 metropolitan areas,

only 9 showed loss, none greater thanWinston-Salem, N. C., 13.1 per cent, butan equal number gained over 20 per cent.These, led by Mobile, Ala., with 60.0 percent included also Norfolk -Portsmouth -Newport News, Va.; Charleston, S. Cl.Savannah, Ga.; Washington, Beaumont,Corpus Christi, Tex.; Columbus andMacon, Ga.

P -W AdjustmentCommunities which have shrunk are

considered by some to be more fortunateIn their prospects for post-war adjust-ment, as boom towns which retain theirgrowth will have to expand their facilitiesfor their present and future growth. Theymust do this by expanding their employ-ment, housing utilities, transportation,educational, and recreational facilities.as well as municipal services.

An estimate of the migration of enlistedmen in the army based on a study madelast summer by the Department of Com-merce, stated that four -fifths of all meninterviewed expected to return to theirhome State, but only two-thirds of theNegro enlistees questioned were in thisgroup. This indicated a degree of respon-siveness by the Negro to the wider eco-nomic opportunities available to him inthe wartime industrial environment. Thedirection of probable veteran migration,according to the government survey, indi-cates the greatest net gain for the PacificCoast States, a much smaller gain for theEast North Central Division, no netchange in the New England Middle Atlan-tic. and Mountain States, and, finally.considerable net loss to the agriculturalarea running from the West North Cen-tral States (Minnesota, Iowa. Missouri,North and South Dakota, Nebraska, andKansas) thru the South_

Why Movement?To what extent these movements can

be attributed to economic dissatisfaction.and to what extent Is the result of themigration of veteran's relatives duringthe war torn years, since the soldier lefthome, is a question which can be an-swered more in favor of the economiccondition of the family left behind.

Thus, In that this vast movement ofpopulation can be attributed primarilyto economic dissatisfaction much thoughtIs being given to post-war employmentprospects. The Census Bureau of the De-partment of Commerce found that inApril. 1945, total civilian employmentstood at 51,160,000, down about 130.000from April of 1944, and about 400,000under April 1942. The agricultural gainof 250,000 was not enough to cover theagricultural loss of about 380,000 betweenApril. 1944 and April, 1945. A drop ofabout 810,000 In male non-agriculturalemployment in April 1945 is reflectedfrom the military industrial cutbacks ascompared with April 1944. This decline,it is pointed out, does not necessarilymean less economic opportunity.

Emphasized in the government articleby Capt, director of the Bureau of theCensus, was the outstanding post-waropportunity to be present In the serviceenterprises. During the war, the serviceenterprises dwindled because of the ac-

years. We are justly proud of the record of de-

pendability which our equipment is establish-

ing. Approximately eight years ago, SEEBURG

pioneered . . . and established SEEBURG Re-

mote Control Music Systems. Before these

music systems were released for operation, ex-

acting tests were made under every conceiv-

able operating condition. Not until we were

absolutely sure that SEEBURG MUSIC SYS-

TEMS were built for years of dependable

trouble -free operation were they released. The

outstandingly successful record of Seeburg

Music Systems is well known to all music

operators. Enthusiastic repor.ts from SEE-

BURG music operators all over the country

tell us "They're Precious" . . . "Nobodi'll

Trade 'Em" . . . "The Highest Resale Value

of All" . . . Just
