Storz Modifying `Top 40' Format

Continues Policy Change With ' Teen -Disks Limited; Airs Albums

By jt NE BUNDY

NEW YORK - In a move to lean up "misconceptions" about lie so- called "Top 40" disk pro - gramming format of the Store Sta-

ns (see story on deejav convention elsewhere in this issue), prexy

odd Store told The Billboard last ek that the chain actually

tatted "modifying" its disk policy a year ago.

All Store declass, said the exec, Inow program a few album selec- (ttoms thruout the day; while some best- selling disks (with lyrics spe-

ificalle directed at teen -agers) are ut played from 8:30 a.m. to 3 :30 in. -the period most youngsters

that all Store stations chalked higher indisidral rating, la-'

reference to some of the violent pro and con arguments about 'Top 40" -type formats at last week's convention, Store opined that there should be room for different types of stations (classical. rock and roll, show music, etc.) to serve different types of people. It wouldn't be serving public interest," he said "for every station to do the same thing."

Store expressed satisfaction with the success of the convention last week, and said the chain definitely plans to sponsor another jockey conclave next March. However, if the second convention is any bigger -and gener l trade feeling is that it's bound to be considerably larger -Store questioned whether Kansas City would be able to accommodate it. since the Muehle- bach Hotel's Grand Ballroom was virtually filled to capacity last week.

If K. C. can't accommodate the crowd, Store plans to survey rep - resentative deejays across the country as prospective convention sites. Personally, Store said, he views Washington, D. C. as a likely spot. Also under consideration are New luif.. Miami Beach, Los Angeles 5( ncagq.

One result has been a rise in audience composition to no less than 94 per cent adults, and at many hours 99 per cent, as compared with rival averages of 79, 74, 7d, 65. 60 and 44 per cent.

KGB has launched a magazine- of-the-air tomcat with the over -all title, "Pulsebeat," including some live music but mostly talk. "It's paying off," say station execs. "In the hot teen -age time period 3 -6 p.m., we're the No. 2 station in San Diego."

POLL TABS TV EXEC- SCRIPTER RECRIMINATION

NEW YORK- -The running battle between TV execs and scripters gets new fodder from the just -released results of an industry poll by Rufus Henry, co- author of this week's "Kraft Theater" drama Statistician Henry asked writers and producers to list their gripes against each other and here are the top results.

Writers: 1. Rewriting by ad agency and web execs who are unqualified. 2. Secretar- ies with delusions of grandeur. 3. Failure to return unbought scripts. 4. Insertior by producers of free plugs. 5. In- sufficient time for casting.

Producers: 1. Submission of scripts that are illegible, in improper form or full of camera directions. 2. insertion by writers of free plugs. 3. Re- fusal to rewrite. 4. Interfer- ence in casting. 5. Conde- scending attitude toward TV.

Asked for their predictions on future relations, both sides generally agreed that web TV needs "some definite rules from a recognized source on authors' rights and limitations" and greater tolerance of each other. Quite a few respond- ents pointed to legit theater and movies as industries which have "eliminated friction in this area." says Henry, and adds, -'everybody might not agree." "We don't have any trouble at all wills composers and lyricists." said several producers. Everybody might not agree to that, either.

New Market Vista Seen in Rise of Musical Therapy

Medicos Find Disks, Radio & TV Effective Aids to Treatments

NE\\' YORK -- A new market for music and TV is developing in the practice of medicine. With no official encouragement from the all -powerful American Medical and American Dental Associations, dor tors are introducing recordings. wired music. radio and TV into their offices to distract. encourage, soothe or stimulate patients.

Music used is 99 per cent instru. mental, with one Hen-list endors- ing Mantovani, Kostelanetz and all "Music To -By" albums.

A Boston gen. eral practictioner varies the repertoire with the patient's age: rock and roll for teen -agers, kiddie songs for children, operetta for elderly nostalgia- minded folk.

Television has made its greatest strides in dentistry, where the patient sits in one place, and in pediatrics, where reluctant youngsters usually make examinations a

REPERCUSSIONS FROM CONVENTION

Deejay Revolt at 'Top 40' May Bring Basic Changes By JUNE BUNDY

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -it Is entirely within the realm of probabil- ity that the First Annual Pop Disk Jockey Convention (held here last week -March 7, 8, 9 - under the auspices of the Store Stations) will result in changes in the basic record programming structures of many radio stations across the

Many jockeys were in open and outspoken rebellion against what they termed restrictive elements of so-called -Top 40" programming. which they interpret u a move to de- activate them as personalities by confining their duties to imper- sonal intros for top -selling singles.

in the course of these complaints it became apparent that many Imitators and "imitators of imitators" of the pioneer 'Top 40" type stations (Stop, Plough. MCClelt don, etc.) have instituted disk pro -

gamming policies which are often tar more restrictive than some of the originals are today. (See Todd Stolz story elsewhere In this issue.)

There was considerable talk at the convention that many "Top 40" operations are due for revising and

up- dating anyway by management, and it .seems highly probable that many deejay, and program direo- ton in attendance will convey this line of thinking with varying degrees of urgency- depending upon their commercial stature -to station managements back home.

Contributing in a substantial sway to any possible programming re- evaluation seas Mitch Miller's speech at the Columbia luncheon Saturday (8) at which he accused Isis audience of abdicating Its programming 'to the 8 to 14 -year- olds, to the pre -shave crowd that make up 12 per cent of the coon- try s population and zero per cent of its buying power."

Miller maintained, "It must be more than a coincidence that single

record buying went Into a decline at the very time the number of stations that program the 'Top 40' and other lists climbed to a new high."

Managers Chafed Aiello Miller's speech received

the convention a only standing ovation, some station managers present indicated resentment of it during later panel discussions and off -the- floor confabs.

Panelist John Box, executive veepee of the Balban Stations, for instance commented "Who is to know what records ore best? Cer- tainly not the record companies. Two thousand yean of musical history has proven them contemporary

Yankwiohs opinion is expected to clear the way toward establishing liability in the other actions filed by the Warner Bros' music firms (Harms, Remick & \Vitrnark) against Tops in the past few months. The nding in behalf of Hanes holds subsidiary implica- tions, for in establishing Tops' liability, the court took cognizance of the recent Goody decision in New York and the Supreme Court's de-

cision not to review the lower court ruling. This ostensibly could mean that Woolworth, Sears, Roebuck and Thrifty Thug Stores were also liable. Latter trio of retailers who marketed the infringed copyright disk were also named as defendants in a subsequent action filed by Harms.

Yanksvich's opinion held, "The defendants . admit that they have recorded this song without specific authorization and claim that be reason of plaintiff's dealings with them they have acquired the status of compulsory licensee, or licensee by estoppel.

'Top 40' Programming Brings Dealer Payola By BERNIE ASBELL

CHICAGO - Something new is emerging on the payola horizon) Dealer payola. It is more than a local situation, and many cities are affected.

This new form of influence is operating here on a wide scale and is the direct upshot of "Top 40-' listings distributed by radio stations. It reflects the fact that since the dominance of top 40 programming, the deejay i.e no longer thç tosser of poseer In making and

WANTED: MEN WHO MAKE MASTERS

Companies Racing to Sign Free Lance A&R Talent By KEN CREVATT

NEW YORK -The frantic race fox hits is currently producing the wildest scramble for free lance art- fats and repertoire talent the business has ever seen. Diskeriei, large and small. are reaching out, across the country, to grab off not only the hot masters that break in many isolated territories. but the men who produce them as well.

Latest example of the indie free lancer trend is the signing of Onyx Records mahoff, Jens Winston, by M -C -M Records, to produce a

minimum of 15 disks per year "using the artists and materials that he controls."

This deal comes hard on the heels of the recent unveiling by Columbia Records of the subsidiary Date label. No Columbia staffer has been assigned exclusively to the label and its understood 'that outside talent will be employed, for the present at least, in making the Date disks. Earlier, RCA Vic- tor signed the cleffing, disk -pro- dncing team of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller on a non-exclusive, guarantee deal to produce pop and rock and roll disks for the label. The pair also have a deal with Atlantic Records.

10th LP Yr.: List 19,830

NEW YORK -There has been a 2,900 per cent jump in the number of listings of LP records from the year 1949 to the year 1958. according to Bill Schwan of the Long Playing Record Catalog. Back in October of 1947, the listings totaled 87-1, today, the 10th year of LP, the listings total 19,830.

In 1947 there were only 11 record labels manufachrring LP's. As of March this year there are 303 firms. The greatest increase in listings has been in the pop and Jan. categon.

On the classical hit parade the leader is Mozart, with 888 listings. Second is Beethoven with 885. Next in order are Bach, Tehaikow- sky and Brahms. These are the composers whose works have been recorded the most, altho they are not necessarily the best sellers.

Another interesting fact is that the rate of obsolescence of LP records over the past 10 years has been very high. One out of every three recordings release. or 9,999 listings, have been withdrawn from the catalog in this time. Most of the withdrawal is due to new and better recordings - technically or artistically - being made. And, of course some is due to lack of continued sales, or firms going out of business.

Capitol Plans Dealer Deal

HOLLYWOOD-Record dealers will participate in the Capitol Record Club shortly, with details of the operation of the plan expected to be formally disclosed by Capitol next week.

John Stevenson, a vice -president of the Capitol Record Club, attended a series of meetings with other Capitol executives here last week, conferring on the methods of dealer participation.

Altho the Capitol plan dovetails in some fashion with the existing RCA Victor and Columbia Record club programs involving record dealers, Cap's program is expected to have several new incentives.

This week, too the new United Artists label concluded a deal with the Indie afar. team of Frank Slay and Bob Crewe, for disk making, also on a non -exclusive basis. It was noted that the company also expecued to sign up additional

indie a.lucr. talent. The team had previously produced hits by the Silhouettes on Ember and Billy and Lillie on Swan.

Sisters Clicked It will also be recalled that only

a few months ago, disker Morty Craft, who previously had operated the indie Melba label, came up with a smash by the Shepherd Sisters on his Lance label. The disk resulted in disk pact for the sister group on Mercury. with Craft going along with his talent to the label as an a.&r. man. Later, Craft was tapped by M -C -M Records' Arnold Maxin for the top a. &r. slot with the revamped diskery, but Craft, on an Indie basis, still makes

Another recent deal Involved Dave Rolnick, one of the original producers of the hit, "Short Shorts." Rolnick parted a deal with Duke Records mahoff. Don Robe), as the Eastern rep of Duke, Peacock and Back Beat. Robey's three labels. In addition to operating as a sales and promotion man, Rolnick will cut masters with Robey getting first refusal rights on all the disks he cuts. On the other hand, Rolnick is still free to wheel and deal on any master' Robey does not tie up.

It can be noted, too, that on the theory that it takes a new label name to make hit in today's pop angle world. London Records recently innaugurated the Feloted label, which carries strictly masters bought from various Indie producers, including Joe Leahy. Kapp

Petrillo Acts in Row With Studios

By BOB SPIELMAN HO1.1.1\VOOD - War' of

nerves between the American Fed- eration of Musicians and major motion picture studios to dispute over new contract is continuing, with offensive shifting to the musicians last week.

Invoking an agreement with the British Musicians' Union, AFM President James C. Petrillo halted scoring on "Vertigo," Paramount film which had been shipped to London for theat purpose. Petrillo is also attempting to get the Eu- ropean Musicians' Federation to honor the strike, altho apparently to no avail no far. Major studios, while still noncommital, indicate they don't think they'll have too much trouble scoring on the Eu- ropean continent or in Latin America.

At the same time. AFM planted rumor that Oscar Awards, carried

over NBC -TV and sponsored for the first time this year by the Academy of Motion 'Picture Arts and Sciences, might be boycotted. Presumably, however, this could involve breach of contract AFM has with the nets.

Max Herman, secretary of Local 47, said that the legal ramifica- tions "are under study. He pointed out, however, that no move has been made to hire free -lance musicians for the event. Richard Gra-

ham, legal counsel for NBC, said that the problem has not come to

his attention. The Composers and Lyricists'

Guild, altho continuing to hold talks with AFM on the passibility of supporting the action, are so far continuing on a 'business as usual' policy. This week for instance, Jay Livingston and Ray Evans were signed to compose the title tune for the aforementioned "Vertigo."

Only apparent casualties of the strike so far are Paramount s "Five Pennies," starring Danny Kaye and scheduled to roll March 24, and Warner Bros.' "Damn Yankees." Twentieth Century-Fox seems best situated of all the studios, with three pis now shooting in Mexico. "Bravados," 'Villa" and "Sierra Baron," seeming certain of being scored there. At the same time it s highly probable that "Ten North Frederick" will he shipped south for scoring.

Dissident musicians' group, headed by Cecil Read, has been holding meetings in the meantime, and is urging Petrillo to settle on the basis of eliminating trust fund payments. As pointed out last week. however (The Billboard, March 10), studios are aiming for precedent- setting agreement completely eliminating residual payments to anyone.

Usual Spring Pattern Taking Shape By TOM NOONAN

Recent sales for the current period (week ending March 1)

dropped slightly below the previous week's mark and are now B

per cent below the "par" line. Speed - wise, all but 78 r.p.nl.

again eased downward. This slight decline in unit sales for the other three speeds started three weeks ago. However, the normal sales curve for the spring season of each year follows titis very same pattern.

SS r.p.m.'s again went up and are nosy at a point just 39 per cent below the par line. At their lowest

point this year they were 78 per cent below an 1 while the other speeds are falling slightly, 78's seem to be going in the opposite direction: Aside from dealers Un- loading this speed, this patter is odd in view of the price increase Instituted at the begiut,ing of the year.

45 singles unit sales are_ still the only speed holding its bead above parr. This speed has shown the slightest drop and continues to strengthen its hold in tho shale of the dollar market. It is at 3S.-1 per cent this week as compared to 37.2 per cent last week and 36.2 per cent the week before.

The most significant drop has taken place in the 33u's unit sales. This speed has fallen from 19 per cent (19 per cent above par)) for the period ending February S to 59 per cent for the current period, a drop of approximately 3Q per cent. This has. of eourse, been reflected in the Stara of Dollar Market chart. Currently at 53.1 per cent, this speed had registered 53.3 per cent last week and 55 per cent the week previous.

Studying this current pattern, it is ease to see that the dealer's dollar - volume is being affected even if his over -all unit sales ara holding up.

Songwriters Blast BMI Before Senate

Hammerstein And Schwartz Load Attack

By MiLDRED HALL WASHINGTON - Songwriters

battling Broadcast Music interests in Senate hearings last week offered three main themes: 1. New songs of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publish- ers are being stifled at the souce by decjays favoring BMi tunes. 2. Interlocking interests of broadcasters. BMI and net -owned record companies give their music an un. fair competitive advantage over ASCAP tunes. 3. Broadcaster "control' of music is depriving the public of variety and quality in music.

The songwriters, spearheaded by ASCAP "great" Oscar Hammerstein and Arthur Schwartz, presented arguments for divesting broadcasters of all music to the Serrate Com- merce Subcommittee on Communi- cations.

Effect of Bal The Smathen Bill would pro-

e hibit broadcasters from publishing music, and from manufacture or sale of records. It would directly affect 629 broadcasters ownin BMI stock, out of national total of 4.000 licenses.

Delinquency R &R, Deejays Get Into Act

WASHING :TON -- The Senate hearings sailed into the somewhat tricky area of public taste in the current hearings before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Com- munications. The whole question of the big beat, rock and roll, was thoroly and emotionally gone Into. Songwritiers and music pro- fessors linked it to juvenile delinquency and general decline in American musical standards.

Vance Packard. author of "The Hidden Persuaders" which lam- bastes Madison Avenue selling techniques, blamed BNH and broadcasters for rock and roll. He said it had been foisted on "pas- sive" teen -agers by conniving deejays, $nd was not the youngsters own choice.

"Cheap Music" Packard, who said he had been

employed by SPA "about a month ago, said the broadcasters had "manipulated" to keep "cheap music" on the air. By cheap music, Paclwrd said he meant the hill - billy, Latin American and rhythm and blues, or rock and roll types, which were cheaply obtained and easy to record.

Pastore asked if Packard had made any spot check. or toured the country to check the alleged

At present Splendex is still waiting for engineering approval to

construct a prototype machine from the mock -up. Once this is obtained the roject will move ahead.

If p the machines are produced according to the mock -up, they would he able to dispense more than 100 different records. presumably both singles and LP's.

Anti -Slump Bills Would Help Music

WASHINGTON - A flood of bills introduced in the flouse last week -primarily as recession hajfj ers-will benefit the music iadu if they fin.'. favor with Congress. ,

Proposals would repeal the maIS ufacturers excise tax on phono, graphs, records, musical inatra- menta, and radio end tel sets. Bills authored by Rtpr atives Price (iD.). and McCoy (S. Dak.) - both Democrats - would increase the amount of personal exemption for 1955.

An almost identical bill has introduced .fo the Senate by atoe Douglas (D.. I11.). Douglaa' bill also would repeal admiuimtti tues and reduce by 50 per cesat the present excises on telephone telegraph, radio and cable sea* ices and leased wires.

Bills are being studied by í1i/ tas- writing House Ways and Meaty Committee and the Senate Finance Committee.

By JUNE BUNDY Pint Annual Disk Jockey Convention and Programmars Seminar. Rastsec, Martha Black. Producer. Dick link,. Musical Discus, Dann/ Ben a.J Ns Ben Bey.. (erneoted at Grand Ballroom. Muehtebaott Hotel. Kansas City. Mu., March S.1

The real heroes of the "Dream Show" (presented at the First Annual Convention of Pop Disk Jockeys last week) were Danny Bell and the Bell Boys. The ark, which records for Fraternity Records, did an admirable job in view of the fact that -with little or no rehearsal -they played new arrangements and "faked" backing for more than 35 acts thruoltt a four -hour show.

Veteran warbler Tony Bennett, is polished night club star, scored the biggest hit, while newcomer Pat Suzuki was a close runner -up. followed by Andy Williams, the Playmates, the Four Lads and Eddy Arnold.

Bennett had an added advantage in that he brought his own group, including ace bongo star, Candido. However, the singer is such a powerful visual showman, chances are he would have rated as great a standing ovation working alone.

Vik's charming Eurasian canary, Pat Suzuki was the big surprise of the convention. Her off -beat good looks and exciting delivers- made a tremendous impression on the spinsters, thereby giving her current LP maximum play- insurance.

Also registering as a "surprise' attraction were Roulette a Playmates, heretofore chiefly known for their rock and roll waxing of Jo-Ann." The boys showed plenty of sales -savvy, shrewd comedy timing and remarkable versatitlity- particularly with an infectious special- material -type ditty, "Beep, Beep."

Quality vocal honors went to Cadence's Andy Williams, whose tasteful phrasing and easy authority added a strong element of class to the proceedings.

Another class entry- was the effective simplicity of Eddy Ar- nold (accompanied only by his own guitar) on a moving version of "September Song."

The Four Lads generated considerable excitement with a hand -clapping rendition of "Lonesome Road." Other acts pulling enthusiastic audience reaction were Eileen Rodgers, Lavern Baker, Lou Monte, Roger Williams and the Diamonds.

Martin Block, "Dean of the Deejays," was a gracious, patient emcee; while sole comedy turn on the bill was supplied by non -pro H. Roe Bartle, mayor of Kansas City, Mo. His Honor told jokes,- serenaded convention sponsor Todd Storz with Omaha's officia anthem; distributed a flock of K. C. Cold Keys, and generally yocked it up for the crowd.

Patachon, the dynamic little Parisian blonde whose garnis char and Rive Gauche voice have been album -waxed by both Columbia and Audio Fidelity, sparkles brightly in "International Soiree" in which she holds the spotlight for the entire second act of this vest- pocket -size revue in New York's smallest legit house.

\ Vorking without props or settings, and wearing the blouse and short blue skirt that are her visual trademark, she squares off briskly, and belts out 10 cafe favorites such as "A Paris,' "Brave Margot," "Only For Americans." "Mon Homme" and "La Coulante du Pauvre Jean." Most are familiar to her album fans, but she holds audience attention firmly for the better part of an hour, ably backed by a small pit combo headed by accordionist Joe Basile, himself a fast -selling artist on the Audio Fidelity label.

The first act of "International Soiree," termed by emcee Hiram Sherman as "an informal party at which nobody speaks English," serves as a showcase for three bright and visual music lull acts. Pantomimist Marcel Cornelis, from Belgium, fractured first nighters with his impression of an amateur pianist sight -reading a brand- new concerto. -Georges La Fave registered as a highlight with an unusual, and show -how spooky, puppet act from France. And, a fiery, swirling display of Flamenco dancing by Caracolillo and Maria Rosa serves as a fine Hispanic finish to the initial segment.

FRANKIE 'COULD HAVE SUNG ALL NiGHT' AT LA RONDE

By CHARLES ROBERTS Prank Sinatra, ta Ronde. Founlame Moan lintel, Miami Boat. Martà Ir.

No longer the bashful boy of his Dorsey vocalist days. nor the brash cocksure youth or a few years lister, Frank Sinatra, completely won his audience at this top M. B. swankery in the first eight bars of his opening number "Come Fly With Me."

His first five tunes were all of the upbeat variety and with fine swinging backing by Seagasus' augmented 18 -piece house ork, Sinatra soon had this sophisticated audience snapping forgers and beating feet in tempo. Highlighted in this group were his click disk renditions of "Witchcraft" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."

. Sinatra teen offered such ballad standard; as "April in Paris," "When Your Lover Has Cone." "Violets for Your Furs" and 'My Funny Valentine."

Sinatra then featured a great version of "One more for the Road" with a piano -only accompaniment by Bill Miller. Thence a

return to up tempo for nine more songs, Including "All the Way" "Just One of Those Things" and "Road to Mandalay."

Vocally, Sinatra has never been better, and with his magnifi- cent swinging beat and sense of timing he could have been on all night As it was, he did 18 songs and left them screaming for more after a full hour on stage.

Companies Race to Sign i.mnfirt fir d from pace 4

Records' new subsidiary, Trend, has kicked off with several inde- pendently produced disks and the same has been at least partially true of Atlantic's East West label.

In the jazz field, the same phenomenon has been noted. ,Just last week, fare critic and impresario Leonard Feather signed a deal, also with Al -C -M Records, to produce jazz LP's on a non- exclusive arrangement. Feather will also work with RCA Victor in an a. &r. capacity in selecting material from the company's jazz vaults for release.

The trend h.0 been likened in some quarters to a similar trend in the motion picture industry. That field today has many independent producers who either work on an assignment with major studios or actually bring out their own releases with distribution handled by a major studio.

Disk observers have noted the

indie trend with the comment that few a.&r. moguls remain who sit in a position of controlling all that they survey. The a. &r. function actually has changed its complex- ion, one might say, from one of production to one of being able to scout the field and make a smart buy of men and material.

There are many types of deals being made today between indie producers and diskeries. They run the gamut from complete inde- pendence, with masters made available to anybody who can meet the price, to assignments to make a given number of releases per year on a contract basis. Whatever the deals, more indie record men are making them today then ever before.

As the late Jack Kapp once said, "There's an a. &r. man on every corner." Now they are grabbing them off the street right and left in constant quest of the smash hit.

Teri of the 16 persons scheduled as witnesses claiming a "conspiracy" between BMI and the broadcasters are members of ASCAP, said BMI. "Four of these are plaintiffs in the private lawsuit. Others are financial support- ers of the suit."

Tossing monopoly, charges back at ASCAP, the BMI release said ASCAP "still has almost a complete monopoly of the musio used In

Broadway shows and in motion pictures."

Contrary to doing harm, Broad- cast Music competition has resulted "in enormously enlarged opportunity and rewards for writers, publishers, independen recording companies and others," said BMi. "De- spite this competition, ASCAP continues to be the dominant organization. It receives two and one half times as much money from broadcasters as BMI,"

BALANCED PROGRAMMING

THE BARTELL TOUCH. Station group chief Gerald Bartell is thoughtful listener as exec Mort Wagner audit,ons new idea In music programming.

Bartell Radio Format Sparks Sponsor $$

By CHARLES SINCLAIR

"A lot of top ad accounts" one of radio's most jet -propelled execs, Gerald A. Bartell, told The Billboard recently, "are scheduling twice as much for radio campaigns in 1958 than they did last year. And a lot of its coming out of what had been television money."

An increasing amount of such advertising dollars -one estimate puts the figure at over $3,000,000 annualy -are flowing into the coffers of the half -dozen radio outlets headed up by the one -time educational broadcaster -turned- commercial. And, from the stations today is corning some of the freshest- sounding programming available today to radio dialers.

The secret, according to Bartell, sylto applies it conscientiously to the stations in the group, is "family participation." This is further defined by Bartell as "a captivating combination of happy musical entertainment, bright news presentation with stimulating editorial material, pleasant reminiscences, games for family fun, interesting revelations of community life, and a constant. never - ending joining of hearts and spirits, moment by moment"

Practical Radio Recipe

in more practical terms, radioman Bartell's formula includes such programming gimmicks as these:

In each half hour of deejay programming. there is at least one record that has topped a million copies in stiles. from Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" to Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz." The general idea is to remind family members, particularly housewives, of their own younger days.

A record which Bartell's programming execs in Milwaukee San Diego, Atlanta, Phoenix, Birmingham or Boston have scouter in local record shops as being a potential local sales hit.

A platter from the record lists of "Top Forty" hits in such publications as The Billboard, altho the charts are not used lav- ishly as the only record programming guide worth bothering about. Deejays also use at least one other current favorite that is marching steadily upwards.

A record "first" of some kind. new on the outlet during that week. This could be a new single. or a track from a hot new album, original cast recording, or what -have -you. It just has to be fresh -and have the sound that would appeal to Bartell's loyal listeners.

An oldie of some kind. This could be a novelty that managed to make it up to the hit levels, like "The Music Goes 'Round and Around." Again the choice is wide, but it has to be one that reaches back across several years.

A newscast, usually tailored to a five -minute format and prepared by local news staffers from local sources and national wire copy. It definitely is not a straight reading, minus any local angles, of wire service news.

No "Teen -Age" Sound

As these ingredients would indicate, Gerry Bartell, and his brothers, Lee, David and Mel, and sister, Rosa, do not fanes themselves in the title role of "1 Was a Teen -Age Program Planner."

"Our 'family -participation pattern keeps the teen -age element to a minimum, perhaps 15 per cent of total audience, since their buying power represents much less. Similarly, we don't cater only to 'housewives, young marrieds, kiddies or - baseball fans in any time period. We maintain an all- family pattern thruout- the schedule," Bartell says.

In addition to the music -and -nests elements, the Bartell stations go in heavily for what might be termed "community service." These include plenty of time and weather information, publio service features and a variety of gimmicks geared to local audience tastes, such as a "Smile File' of gags sent in by listeners or a oollectlon of dialer. "Pet Peeve.."

Instrument Boom: 37 Million Playing

CHICAGO - More than 37 million amateurs are playing musical instruments these days, according to figures released by the American Music Conference last week. Even subtracting from the total of those in the survey 'who play more than one instrument, this is an impressive figure.

The figures show that the total piano figure is higher than that of all other instruments combined. Organ, violin and other strings, accordion, harmonica, ukulele, brass instruments, and woodwinds follow in instruments most played. There has been an increase of 70 per cent in the number of musical instruments owned today as against 20 years ago, and a rise of 100 per cent in the number of amateurs playing musical instruments.

Amateurs playing piano account for more titan 50 per cent of the increase in those playing instruments. Unit sales for piano jumped from 145,000 units in 1947 to tfon. Approximately 85 per cent d 194,000 in 1956. the band instruments and 65 pa

VOX JOX CONVENTION SIDE LIGiITS:

Jockeys across the country will be talking about the recent Disk Jockey Convention in Kansas City, Mo., for months to come, and we think allwill agree it was a definite success, thanks to the smooth co- ordination job done by Store program chief Bill Stewart and the co- operative, serious- minded attitude displayed by practically all deejays in attendance.

Stories on the convention appear elsewhere in this issue, but we would like to go on record with some passing observations on the lighter side of the affair.

Atlantic Records chief Ahmet Ertegun pulled one of the best gags of the week, when -at the Saturday breakfast hosted by his label -he told the deejay gnests, "I know this is a'Hit' breakfast. Mer- cury's covering it tomorrow."

Dot prexy Randy Woad, who hosted the banquet which preceded the all -star show

By JUNE BUNDY

(Tony Bennett, Andy Williams and some 35 others) was asked -tongue -in -cheek - how iia could afford such a tremendous talent line -up for the banquet. Isis reply: "The price is right!"

Martin Black, WA BC New York, dramatized his title as "the dean of the disk jockeys," by making Isis initial entrance in a wheel chair and wearing a long gray beard.... Block's son, Columbia's exec Cene Block, helped his "old man" push the piano around during the Saturday show, which Block emseed.... Jac Rowzie, Washington, told the crowd (among other things) that his daughter is married to a deejay who works on a competitive station. , .. Don Bell, KiOA, Des Moines, brought his pretty 18 -year- old daughter with him, and introduced her and her young husband during Isis panel appearance.

Mercury Records, which hosted the 8 a.m. Suirday morning breakfast, (following

Saturday night's hectic banquet and show) tacked up a huge banner proclaim- ing, "Welcome to Hangover Haven."

Mystery of the convention was "what ever happened to Ed Bon- ner?" Bonner, f'XOK, St. Louis, was scheduled to appear on a Sun- day morning panel, speaking on the subject "Has the T\' Jockey Hurt or Helped the Radio Jockey ?" Howes'er, immediately prior to the panel discussion, it was announced that he was "indisposed" and could not appear. Bonner himself bad told several jocks tint his speech would be a 'bombshell."

Bob (Coffeehead) Larsen, WEMP, Afilwaukee, who did participate in the panel about TV jocks, pulled the funniest one -word crack of the convention. Following an observa- nation by Toni Edwards of 'WERE, Cleveland to the effect that Larsen, an early morning jockey, doesn't have

One of the first honest -to -good- ness trans -Atlantic commuters Is Frankie Vaughan, Vaughan is a star of British variety, motion pictures and records. The name is not well known here new, but that may all very well change within a few months.

"Ill be coming here once a month for tire next less. months," Vaughan, who is here to make T\' appearances, told me this week. Tho not a rock and roller nor a rockabilly, Vaughan, who for four years has been one of the brightest of the British stars, has the potential to break out as an important pop artist in Amer- ica. He has already appeared on the Big Record and the American Bandstand, and he has been invited back to both. Before returning to England, hell also appear on the Ed Sullivan show on Sunday (30). The third week in April, he flies hack here to do the Perry Como show and repeat dates on both Ilse American

Its obvious that Vaughan. as a pop artist, thinks much of the American market. "I've had a number of record hits in England." he said, "but most all of them were covers of American tunes. It's not easy to get the kind of song in England that has real pop potential. For that reason, I'm making all my future records in America. Right now I'm doing an LP for Epic here. And for my next picture, "Wonderful Things,'

Altho not a particularly swinging type of cat, \'aughan thinks Ilse advent of rock and roll was fortunate. "Authentic, genuine rock and roll, that is, he says, "the kids needed beat to dance to and dance music had reached bottom

when rock and roll started to catch on" Vaughan singled out Fats Domino as an example of one of the fine artists of the field. On the other hand, asked about Elvis Pres- ley and Jerry Lee Lewis, he felt somewhat "ridiculous,"

Vaughan had just returned from the Dick Jockey Convention in Kan- sas City. "it was fantastic. I never imagined anything like it," he said "in England we have about half a dozen disk jockeys. Everything is network over there and the few jocks we have reach all over the land. The only other ones are on Radio Luxembourg and In Dublin, which reaches part of the north country and Scotland. To see 1,500 or so jockeys all together was really incredible."

PLUGGING THE LEAK

Dealers Cure for Disk Theft Threat

Open displays vs. less booths solve problem

Clerk-supervised disk auditioning pays off

By BENN OLL\LAN (Last week we reported on the

fundamental approach to business taken by the Victor Music Store. Madison, Wis., and how it paid off. Now read how the shop com- batted pilferage and the three es- sentials for success in the disk business, according to Mike Vic- tor.)

The biggest increase in sales at the Victor Music Store has been noticed in the sales of pop single records. The pop record department was converted into self -service several years ago with gratify- ing success. It was done primarily to combat an alarming amount of pilferage.

Heavy Losses "Several years ago we were

shocked when we discovered how ntany records were being stolen from our shop. Our pilferage losses, primarily to teen -agers. we estimated ran as high as $5,000 in one year. So we tackled this serious thievery problem by re- moving six of our eight audition booths, putting everything out in islands and browser boxes and Bel- ting up a checkout counter and cash register at the door," explains Mike Victor. 'To my surprise. not only did the pilferage drop off, but our sales climbed and are continuing to increase all the time."

Customers scanting to audition e pop record bring it to the sales clerk who plays it for them on the counter phonograph. Two auditioning booths in the store stere retained strictly for the use of customers who want to check LP's or 45 r.p.m. albums under the supervision of a sales clerk.

One of the incidents of pilferage uncovered which influenced the no- auditioning rule, says Vic- tor, proved highly enlightening. A high school student seas caught stealing records. Authorities checked his locker at school and discovered there a veritable record warehouse, He had actually gone into the business of supply - ing his fellow students with records at cut -rate. His slogan: "I can get any record you want." Naturally. his prices were far below retuiil list prices because he would first take orders and then he went shoplifting at Victor Mu- sic to replenish his inventory.

Beethhoven's "Hot" Switching over to self- service,

warns Victor, necessitates more than just placing records all over the store in open display units. "A self- service store has to rely heavily on proper display techniques," he says. Effective use is made of special sections for groupings of types of music such a language, ethnic, opera and ballet. Good results have been obtained via display and browser- box groupings of items by hot artists or composers like Toscanini and Beethoven.

On occasion, as special display of releases by one particular label draws considerable attention from the quality -conscious Victor Music clientele. One such recent display highlighting Angel Records was responsible for a big turnover of that label's merchandise.

One browser -box section is set aside on the stain counter for the Top 100 Classical LP's. In this box the top 50 numbers are tagged with identification divid- ers, and the others by black and white markings.

Besides boosting sales of merchandise in these groupings," says Victor, such an arrangement also saves a lot of our clerk's selling time. Customers, for exaìnple,

THE BILLBOARD MARCH 17, 1958

HEARD OYER THE COUNTER

"The other day," writes Ivan Risley, Platter Shop, Chicago, "a woman came in to buy needle. I asked ber what kind of a net she had. 'It's about this big, she said indicating with her hands, 'and dl's white on the bottom and red on top.' 'You'll have to Five me the name or something, I told her. 'And, oh yes,' she went on, 'it has a handle on the side.'"

Here are couple from Berger's Fireside Record Shop -

Customer: "Do mu have 'Around the World in 80 Days?"

Clerk: "Yes, m d a m. Which speed would you like?"

Customer: "Oh, I guess shout like this (singing) la- dee-da-da in 80 days.

We're also indebted to Berger's for this one-

Customer: "Do you have Bee- thoven's Fifth."

Clerk: "t'es. On long play ?" Customer: "Yon mean those

large records or those small ones?'

Clerk: "That's the large 33':S r.p.m. 12 -inch record."

Customer: "Are they both the same price?"

Clerk: "Yes." Customer: "Oh, then I'll take

the large." Clerk: "Bv the way, madam

what kind of player have you?' Customer: "It's the RCA Vic-

tor 45 player."

\Isil orders have produced some funny written ones. Some of the best remem- bered are "Bark E Roll" and "Claire de Loon." Currently, we have two promising hits that should do well on their own, "Gigi" has already been requested as "Gee Gee," and not long ago someone wrote in for a copy of the original "Da Killer instead of "Telquilla."

In the malapropism department we have this one this week. Customer asks: "Do you have single records from movie musicals?" "Well, we have some on single records. Which do sou want ?" "I want one from 'Okla- homa' 'The Surtey With the Syringe on 'fop.'

"I'd like to see some new dance albums."

"Here's one that just came nut. 'Let's Dance With the 'three Suns.' ' "

"Three who?" "The Three Suns. They've

been playing at the Picadilly for many years."

"I don't know. , . , I just don't care for those family singing groups."

A man entered the Rhythm Room Record Shop, Houston, recently and asked Mrs. Joseph Reed if she had copy of "Crunchy." Mrs. Reed reports that she was able to make the guy happy by playing Ernie Free- man s "Raunchy' .

Henry Seigel, The Music Box, Gadsden, Ala., writes, 'Back about three or four years ago, Willie Mahon had a blues record called, "Poi- son Ivy." One clay, one of my girls,played record after record for a blues customer. Nothing pleased him. Final- ly, in desperation, she asked, "Do you have 'Poison Ivy5' His answer was classic. "No, rnaam," he said, "Ah lust itches a little bit,"

Wants Factory Controls To The Editor:

Let me ask you, since you in- vite opinions, if the "Gold -Dust Kids," of the recording industry, are so hot -panted for a buck that they neglect proper and ordinary factory controls so that 45 singles must end tip in a dealer's shop off - pressed, double -lab e t e d, warped, cracked and scratched?

One of these days, this glori- nos, multi- million dollar industry, milking dealers, distributors and consumers right thru its multimil- lion dollar false front, is going to fall flat on its much -less -precious prat and will have to answer questions such as the above.

And while I'm at it, I am one of those dealers who did not ap- preciate the editorial in Edition. March 3, "Killing the Sale" As the proprietor of a real music shop, I am in league with the employee who knew enough about music to attempt a polite rapport with a customer interest - ed enough to ask such questions. If 'Mr. Kupper doesn't return to that store, he might find music appreciation courses at New York University and Juilliard helpful. If not, to beg a laugh, at the A&P.

George A. Jarv(n Laconia Music

Laconia, N. H. .Acv, C.111011, George! That

editorial said nothing about attempting "polite rapport" with the customer. Polite rapport never killed any sale. If that's what you want to read into it, however, be our guest.

It's good to have your opinion, George. In that phrase "attempt polite rap-

" port with the customer, you've opened up an entire area that is well worth ex- ploring. For example, how should an intelligent dealer handle a customer who ap- proaches the counter with Ibis question: "I'd like to buy a copy of Tchaikovsky's Third Piano Concerto." For the best example of a dealer answer to this request (attempting polite r a p p o r t), well give 10 bucks. Second best answer gets five bucks. Winners will be announced in the April issue of The Bill - board.- ld Maur_ .

Join Our Soup Club To the Editor:

Do your suppose that the record manufacturers could take a hint if they were to see the following advertisement in one of our leading weekly publications?

"Join our Soup Club and get one can free. Just visit your local grocer and sample the soup he sells -(he buys from us, belt, heh.)" Perhaps, we as dealers should

be more broadminded about this revolting piece of illegitimate clubbing but that is asking too much when the hand we dealers feed bites us and expects us to wear a big grin over it all.

With proper organization, the dealers could take care of the situation but each man would have to put his shoulder to the wheel. Do we care enough to do that? If not, then let's try to forget it and put our energy to making our record shops attractive enough, our attitude optimistic enough and ourselves informed enough to draw the business our direction.

More About Clubs To the Editor:

We're not trying to beat fight the so- called record clm the profits, but by no mea we going to join them either. are simply cutting down o stock of the label, on sin ' I

well as LP's. (Labels ban the clubs.)

Perhaps the record chi try to sell the singles an well as the LP's and r the profits. On second' they may consider that of a risk.... Better let the ers handle that end of the ness, and suffer the losses.

We wonder how many d have had club members con the store to try to sell them of albums they had received the clubs and "they 'didn't cially care for" and at times ing to exchange them for al on other labels?

Tape Trouble To the Editor:

It now seems that companies are learning a

habit, and it is being des el to a point where it is biotin dealers who have dome so to help develop the tape in

The fault seems to be th soon as a tape hits a good r

in one of the maior neag ssith tape columns, the tape as.silable so that a dealer about 40 or 50 sales a mónth in a case of a mail-order house' means that amount of refunds credits, or the alienation of toners. For a dealer ca thousands of dollars in inven it seems ridiculous for him make a bad reputation on strength of a lack of avails') of one or two tapes from a co of manufacturers.

Another difficulty is that getting staggered or monase tapes from distributors. If a mail is a distributor, he should the whole line or none at all, turn the distributorship over someone who is willing to the dealers' needs.

Review Spotlight on . e e

The following new packages, reviewed during the past week. have been selected for outstanding sales potential, artistic merit, new talent, sound recording or display value, as indicated. These "Spotlights," in the opinion of The Billboard staff, merit prime consideration (rain dealers.

Popular Albums GIG' (l -12 "j -Sound Track -M -G -M E 3641 ST

Lerner and Loewé s first score since their phenomenal "My Fair Lady" is sure to he a hot item. Besides the inertia of their former success, this tuneful package is a potent item in its own right. Popularity of the film's co- stars. Lesile Caron, blaurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan and and Herminoe Gingold also gives the net strong sales strength. The powerful cover design adds to the over -all appeal.

EYDIE GORME VAMPS THE ROARING 20'S (1 -12 ") -With Don Costa Ork. ABC Paramount 218 This is the thrush's strongest yet. She presents songs from the '20's with modern. quality ork support by Don Costa. Jocks will flip over this. Her choice piping makes each selection a standout. Numbers include a cute go on "1 Wanna Be Loved By You," a tordus reading. of "My Man" and swinging belt of "Chicago. Top merchandise!

THE WALTZ QUEEN (1 -12") -Patti Page. Mer- cury. MG 20318 Exceptionally strong packaging. The gal has never been better than in this creamy, nostalgic selection of three -beater favorites like "What'll I Do," "Till We Meet Again," "The Boy Next Door," etc. Excellent backings by Vic Schoen and ork. Several bands here are worthy of singles exposure and the entire set should set a brisk pace at the counter.

THE TORCH WITH TITE BLUE FLAME (1 -12 ") -Jackie Gleason Ork. Capitol W 961 Gleason spotlights a new romantic sound in his latest effort. Lawrence Brown's mellow and legato trombone stylings are given huh support from a large ork which includes marimbas, harp, guitar and other rich orchestral sounds. The selections provide a relaxed. listenable mood. The standards include "I've Crown Ac- customed to Her Face," "My Heart Reminds Me" and "Fascination." This should easily go as well as his previous hits.

THE DREAM GIRL (1.12 ") -Ray Anthony Ork. Capitol T 969 Another excellent Anthony dance band package, which can do every bit as well as its predecessors. These stylings are slow and have much of the Glenn Miller reed sound, which characterized earlier Anthony offerings. The maestro takes a trumpet spot on each of the tunes, which include "Darn That Dream,' "The Nearness of You,' etc. Cute doll on cover illustrates "Dream Girl" idea. Strong counter fare that can stay up there for a good spell.

THE BILLBOARD'S WEEKLY Tips on Coming Tops THE RECORD INDUSTRY'S MOST COMPLETE GUIDE TO FUTURE BEST SELLING POP SINGLES

Review Spotlight on .. POP RECORDS

311E SILHOUETTES .Ember 1032 11EADIN' FOR THE POORHOUSE (Ulysses & Bngby- Wildcat, BMI)

MISS THING (Angel, BMI)

Two strong bids by the crew that could be follow -up clicks to "Get a Job." The arrangement for "Poorhouse" has many of the cute gimmicks and sounds of their current success. "Miss Thing" is also a cute bit of material. and it's given an equally strong rendition. Also powerful for r.&b. marts.

TILE DIAMONDS....Mercury 71291 HIGH SIGN (Vivo, BMI)

Cl11CK -LETS (Vivo, BMI)

Two danceable sides by the group that can be hit stlecessors to "Ilie Stroll." Both are rockabilly tunes with fine group vocals and good ork support. Contenders in all markets.

NAT KING COLE.... Capitol 3939 LOOKING BACK (Eden -Sweco, BMI)

DO I LIKE IT (Sweco -BMI)

First -rate performance by Cole on "Looking Back." - kaballad, makes the side a strong contender for pop and r.áct. t! . The song has a spiritual flavor. and Cole presents it In a warn 41 rk style. Flip, "Do I Like It," is medium -beat rocker (Soo R \11),

PATTIE PAGE.... Mercury 71294 ANOTHER TLME, ANOTHER PLACE (Famous, ASCAP)

THESE WORLDY WONDERS (Brenner, BM!)

Two velvetly styled ballads from the thrush. "An eí ,Time" is from the forthcoming flick, and the lovely vocal is 'v,f1 lush ork and chorus support. "Wonders" is also a pretty bat arI+ With good lyrics. The treatment is similar.

CARL PERKINS....Columbia 41131 PINK PEDAL PUSHES (Hill & Range. BMI)

JIVE AFTER FINE (Hill & Range, BMI)

Perkins' initial offering on the label Is strong was. Top side Is a cute rockabilly and its handed a stirring go. Jive,' the flip. is also in a rockabilly groove. and the artist's delivery has a money sound. Potential in all markets.

SAhLMIY SALVO.... RCA Victor 7190 SHE TAKES SUN BATHS (Tannen, BMI)

JULIE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE (Atlantic, BMI)

Salvo scored well with "Oh, Julie," and these two fine presentations also appear winners. "Sun Baths" Is based on a pattern similar to "Short Shorts." "Julie" is the rocking answer to his previous disk. Either can dick.

POP TALENT

TO\I\IY PAI.\t .... Bop 101 BLACK KNEE SOCKS (Palm, BMI)

STROLL WITH ME, BABY (Palen, BMI)

Impressive debut by the artist and label. Palm comes on strongly with two Iistenable sides. "Knee Socks" is a rocker belted with gusto. "Stroll," of course, is a danceable item in the currently popular teen dance tempo. The platter could step out.

POP DISK JOCKEY PROGRAMMING

THE MICRO FIVE....Decca 30(i0á I'LL LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND (Tennessee, SESAC)

MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP (Hymntime, SESAC)

Two great Instrumental novelty sides for locks. The sound Is de- lightfully old fashioned and calls to mind the bands of the '20's. Spins of either should prove interesting and entertaining.

JVeek in and week out you'll find more news, more

record reviews, more advertising on the fast -moving

record business in The Billboard, the communications

center of the music industry.

ANTI - PRESLEY JOCKS ATTENTION: Young Mary Ellen Cantor. of Pennsylvania (in an "open letter to any disk jockey who ever criticized an Elvis Presley record" writes: "I think its a shlame, that Pat Boone can make a rock and roll record out of a spiritual ('Wonderful Time Up There) and hardly anyone, including disk jockeys, think anything of it. I bet if Presley made that same record half of the deejays wouldn't play it, or else it would be banned by their stations. If any deejay reading this has an answer to why Presley gets criticized and Boone doesn't, I think it would be only fair to Presley fans to know the reason."

EDMONTON MAPS $5 MILLION FAIR EXPANSION PROGRAM

Plan to Include Manufacturer's Bldg., Youth Center, New Stables, Track Work

EDMONTON, Alta. - Pre- liminary plans for a $5,000,000 expansion program to be carried Out at the exhibition grounds during the next three years have been announced by the Edmonton Exhi- bition board.

Included will be such features as a manufacturers' building designed for year -round activities, including curling and minor league hockey; a new stable area; a youth building, and expansion of the existing race track from four to six furlongs.

All of the program can be carried out on the 89 acres now owned by the association, said Al Anderson, general manager.

Work on the Manufacturers' building. on permanent stabling for 630 race horses and on the race track expansion is expected to start

immediately after the exhibition in July.

The expansion project will mean the removal of many of the 45 to 50- year -old buildings on the grounds. The old Automotive building has already been sold and is to be removed by July 1; the Thistle curling rink sell disappear and several of the old stables near the race track will be torn down.

The wood grandstand to the west of the permanent structure, built in 1950 at a cost of $1,000,- 000, also will be torn down, to make way for the stable area.

The board of directors has approved in principle a nine -point program, designed for the city's needs for the next 40 years, said Len P. Bromham, association president.

Babcock against three other shows based on competitive bidding, for the midway contract at the 19a7 California State Fair & Exposition. The court ruled that the plaintiff failed to show proper cause for action under the statute.

Frank Winkley Inks La. State Fair Races

MINNEAPOLIS - Frank R. Winkler, top man in Auto Racing. Inc., has announced that his organization will, for the first time, provide the auto races at this years Louisiana State. Fair, Shreveport.

The contract calls for Winkle), to stage three afternoon programs

t and four night races with his own a portable lighting system to be t used for the evening meets. For the

past 10 yeah the Minneapolis race producer has promoted three still dates on the Shreveport half -mile oval, usually early in the season.

Other recent fain contracted by Auto Racing, Ina., Include the

Kansas State Fair, Hutchinson, which awarded him an additional date this year.

As a result, the Winkley route will include a total of 19 meets in the Southwest. These are five afternoons at Hutchinson, seven at Shreveport, five at Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City, and two afternoon meets at the Oklahoma Free State Fair at Muskogee.

To these major dated can be added 10 afternoons of racing at the Minnesota State Fair, St. Paul; three afternoons and one night at the North Dakota State Fair, Min- ot, and four matinees at the South Dakota State Fair, Huron.

Babcock's action, directed against West Coast, Crafts and Foley & Burk shows, alleged they conspired in combination to outbid his organization (Babcock United Shows) for the fun zone contract.

Judge Mundt noted in his decision that a case could not be made under the Cartwright Act on the state of facts.

Babcock in Los Angeles said that he will appeal the case -to the California State Supreme Court, if necessary.

Babcock's attorney, Austin Clapp, said that the formal judgment had not yet been entered. He added that the proposed Judgment dis- missing the action has been sub- mitted but had not been signed as of Tuesday (11). The plaintiff's counsel declared that from the time the judgment is signed, he has 60

Conklin said that he plans to book this particularly Wild Mouse at major fairs in the U. S..

He described the kiddie ride that lie purchased as being "very beautiful and unique." He reported that he has the rapacity to ride 60 children at one time.

He took a purchase option on the Sputnik ride after seeing a working model of the device. If he exercises the option, he would obtain the second Sputnik ride to be made.

During his stay abroad, Conklin visited most of the major ride manufacturers in Western Europe and spent several days at the Brussels' World's Fairgrounds.

"From my observations, it appeared that most of the construction was being pressed for time to get the structures completed for the April 17 opening," Conklin observed.

"The architecture of most of the buildings is quite different from anything I have seen anywhere in my travels," the much -traveled Canadian midway biggie, added.

The fair's amusement area, he reported, "seemed to be very small. A Roller Coaster is being constructed by John Collins of London, England, who built the Coaster at Battersea Park, London, a few years ago. Six weeks before


The program calls for: 1. A ring road around the outer

boundary of the grounds. 2. Additional exits and entran-

ces to ease traffic congestion. 3. Redesigning of the grounds to

provide for maximum parking and treed, grassed and flowered areas.

4. All roadways, parking areas and walks to be hard surfaced.

5. Increased emphasis on the agricultural features of the exhibition.

6. More emphasis on youth programs for both rural and urban young people, on a year -round basis.

7. New buildings to be designed for year -round use.

8. Immediate provision to be made for an eularked five -furlong race track, with consideration to be given later to a six- furlong track.

9. An immediate start to be made on race horse barns and facilities to provide for a minimum of 600 horses.

Georgia Bill

Paves Way for

State Exhibits Fairs Defined; Gov. Must Sign Before March 23

ATLANTA -A bill up for the signature of Governor Griffin would wipe out much of the Geor- gia legislation pertaining to fairs and substitute a new enactment providing for official State participation.

The bill authorizes the commissioner of agriculture to set up exhibits at fairs so as to advertise and promote the State's resources. There is no provision for State aid, but the wording is generous in tone and may pave the way for financial assistance in the future, it is felt, since it sets dosso qualifications for agriculture fairs. It was passed February 19 by both houses of the Legislature, and Griffin must sign it. by March 23.

Wording is as follows: "The Commissioner of Agricul-

ture is hereby authorized to advertise and promote the agriculture resources of this State thru the use of educational exhibits at agriculture fairs. The Commissioner of Agriculture is authorized to

Dodgers' Concession Pact Draws Promoter Attention

By TOM PARKINSON

THE CONCESSIONS contract between the Dodgers baseball team, now of Los Angeles, and their temporary home. the Los

Angeles Coliseum. Is attracting attention among those showmen and producers who have long been dissatisfied with the standard contracts between auditoriums, arenas or similar buildings and the attractions.

The significant point reported in the Dodgers -Coliseum contract is that a percentage of the concession income is credited against the rental fee.

Thus, in the view of the promotion people, here is a case in which they get a fair arrangement. They share in the profits that their attraction brings into the building.

WITH THE UNDERSTANDING that the ball club is to get something in the vicinity of 30 per cent of the concession money, some observers close to the details think that the concession share undonhledly will pay the full year's rent for the expatriated Bums.

The Dodgers. represented by \\ "alter O'Malley, are to pay the clean -up costs. Such a charge is usual, but there is a difference in this case that Wins for it the approval of promoters. The difference is that the party which pays for cleanup also has a share in the concession revenue that makes clean -up necessary.

PROMOTERS AND PRODUCERS long have objected to set -rips that required them to give up concession income and at the same time give up clean -up money. As they see it, this arrangement means the building collects not only when a popcorn box comes into the building, but also when it is swept out. They charge further that under the prevailing plan, any mess is made, not by patrons of the show phase, but instead by customers of the concessions. Why then, they ask, should the shoal- pay? Under the Dodger contract, the situation is different.

Shows prove their power in concession sales, and producers feel therefore that they should be cut in. A strong show will create more concession sales, and the promoters sa). they should share with the concessionaire in this income.

THEY DO NOT law claim to the entire available percentage of concession income. Tilat is, the show producers do not ask that a building give up its full share of concession money. Instead, they envision a set -up that would allow the concessionaire, the building and the producer each to participate in the concession income. One leading producer who speaks out on this subject goes further. He does not rule out the possibility of the building management increasing rental rates to snake up for a loss in concession revenue; such an increase would be warranted, he says.

THE DODGERS' contract has started a lot of thinking. Several leading show producers are hoping it portends a change in the concessions contract picture generally.

Estimate Gross

For Chicago's

New Expo Hall CHICAGO - In a series of

events,- backers of the proposed exposition hall here have announced that it won't be ready for a lakefront fair scheduled for 1959, that they expect a $3,600.000 annual income on the building, and that the bond sale is stalled by a taxpayer's suit.

They also released new plans which call for a less elaborate building than discussed earlier.

The income estimates were prepared in connection with an offering of the bonds for sale. Authori- ties said the Yearly expenses would be $1,611,000 and income would Ise $3,611.000. That would leave $2.000,000 to pay off bonds, they said.

Estimates included $3,126,700 yearly rental from 580,000 feet of exhibit space at 50 cents per

I square foot per 10 days; $t35,000 in rentals on the 5,000 -seat arena; 349,300 from concessions and $1,- 800,700 from proposed industrial exhibitors. Convention Burcan prepared the figures.

The hall is expected to cost $22: 165,000 plus another $5,321,220 for preparing the site. Earlier estimates for a $34,000,000 hall were cut back some time ago. Race tax money is available for the hall.

Plans still are in the drawing board stage, altho there has been talk of breaking ground shortly.

No offers to buy the $225,000,- 000 bond issue came from private investors. and none was expected. The issue was offered primarily to clear the way for subsequent pur-

Malees Add to Park As City Limits Near_

0MANA -When a city moves its omits toward a private amusement park that has for years faced relatively mild county assessments, it's time for the owner-operator to find new uses for his extra land to meet an inevitable increase in city taxes.

That's the problem of Joe Malec, president of Peony Park, Inc.. who pas until recently been located in Douglas County at a fair distance from Omaha's Western city limits and higher tax schedules. Last year the city moved across the street, literally, from Peony Park's main entrance.

This year Malee hopes to Incor- porate a new Kiddieland on his premises to jack up family trade. This park -within -a -park represents the first Disneyland -hype operation In the Nebraska -Iowa area, with rowers, castles. lagoons and figures from Mother Coose.

Peony Park, long considered Omaha s plushest amusements cen- er, is situated on 40 acres of en- .losed and wooded land. A visitor sill find a lake -sized. sand -bottom

swimming pool with better than a ouarter of a mile of wide beaches around it.

Dance Bands Due The pool, largest in the area has

s capacity of 3.000,000 gallons ought in from eight artesian veils. It has been the park's great-

est money -maker since the decline of the dance business in the adjacent Royal Terrace and Ballroom.

The ballroom still features nationally known bands from time to time. But its profits (with room for 2.800 dancers on jammed sights) in the summer have not equaled those of the park's Royal .rove; which features dancing and

dining alfresco. It is also the home of the summer pops concerts of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra.

Malec has already expanded the park's picnic and outing facilities in the woody areas north of the dance palaces, but the relentless march west of the city prodded him and his son, Charles (also secretary- treasurer of the corporation). to thinking about the future tax bite.

Last year Charles Malec visited Disneyland and investigated kid - dieland ventures in Oakland, Calif.; Sale Lake City and Denver. He selected features of each park which he thought would go well in Peony's locale.

The yaunger Malec. an engineer and designer, selected five unused acres which roughly encircle the southern end of the swimming pool for the kiddieland and assigned an additional 15 acres for parking. The kiddielandl, he estimated. would cost upwards of 5150.000 with the park's crew pitching in to perform much of the labor.

Kid Rides Named The kiddieland area was cleared

in January. and the Malees hope it will be ready for a May 15 opening.

The rides, all of them new. will include an Arrow Miniature Train which will wind thru the landscape and 100 -foot tunnel for 1,400 feet. The train will start from a large Union Station covered platform. Arrow also will provide an auto ride of 600 feet with tunnel of 52 feet on the way.

Other rides comprise an Allan Herschel Merry-Co- Round, Heli- copter and 300 -foot Roller Coaster with a peak of 11 feet. A medium - size Ferris 1Vheel will come from San Antonio Roller Works. Minia-

Sels Todd -AO

'South Pacific' NEW YORK -The first major

attraction to appear in the U. S. National Theater at the upcoming Brussels World's Fair will he the Todd -AO version of "South Pa- cific," it suas announced last week by U. S. Commissioner General Howard S. Cullman.

The appearance will nark the continental European premiere of the Rogers and Hammerstein musical starring Russano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor and John Kerr. The composers. the stars of the film and other Hollywood personalities have been invited to the premiere which is scheduled for May 1.

Magna Theatre Corporation of New York is making the film available on ,loan and will also finance the installation of orthosonic sound equipment and a 39 -foot screen to replace the special wide screen. "Pacific" will be presented three times daily thru May 24.

Lure boats, said Charles Malec, probably will be added later for rides on the streams and lagoon.

The kiddieland area will be equipped for picnics and birthday parties with plenty of seating for the weary older generation. Large Willie, the Whales, rockets and missles, Old Woman in the Shoe and Dutch Mills will relieve the landscape.

As his biggest feature, Charles Malec has thrown in a miniature golf course, with every hole designed and decorated ilia different national theme. Its theme is "Around the World in 18 Holes."

SOUND

Taped Voices Aid Grandstand Spec

Emplraaire scope thru volume, sound depth

Background singing, effects match setting

Taped recordings played an important role in the presentation of "West -O- Rama," lavish fair grandstand show produced last year by Barnes- Carruthers Theatrical En- terprises, Inc., of Chicago.

Preseeted outdoors at a string of major Midwestern and South- ern fairs -all with huge grand - stand-it was necessary to emphasize the scope of the production tint 'nlurne and depth of sound.

Use of a \Vestern town setting, that spanned an expanse of several hundred feet, the producers were faced with problems.

One hurdle was how to best transmit group singing to the large audiences when members of the singing company were scattered In small groups over the broad set.

Abo a problem was how to am- plify the sound effects such as the cross d noises. the laughter. gaiety and screams from the frontier saloon. the chant of the horse auctioneer and the angry tirade as the Japanese wire-walker was chased out of the chop shop by the irate butcher, cleaver in hand.

The problem was turned over to Randolph Avery. Barnes-Car- ruthers' vice- president who. after weeks of research and consultation with sound experts, carne up with the answer -tape recordings.

Ice Show Help Some know -hors was obtained

from major ice show sound tech- nicians who had used tape backgrounds for a number of years. The final technique adopted by Avery, however. was in many re- spects the reverse of that used by the icec.

Typical uvas the echo problem. The ice shows. which generally play in buildings. use short, clipped sounds to eliminate echoes. The outdoor problem is

just the reverse as the air absorbs the sound rather than curate an echo. For this reason the singers held, rather than cut short, their notes.

Once the groundwork was laid, an eight -lour recording sessions with the singing done a carpella,

was directed by Avery with a special dubbing process adopted to

get the desired effects. This eight hours of tape -cutting resulted in

a total of 10 minutes of sound that was actually used In "West- 0-Rama."

Once the voices were recorded. an expert technician was employed to edit the tape to the desired length. Many additional hours scent into setting up sys tem of cues and iron out other bugs.

In actual operation at the fair - grounds, the orchestra leader was hooked into the public address system by means of earphones. His baton- wielding was cued to the tape and tint split -second timing co- ordinated the orchestra music with the background voices.

Solos user's actually alive. backed by the taped voices and to further intensify the volume and depth. all the people on stage blended their voices with those on tape.

Generator? Count KW.'s to Tell Needs

More kilowatts per pound in new models

When a carnival or similar show should switch from trans-

former pourer to its own generator and when a generator show should change to a secs' one are among questions answered by Bert Pilkington, chief engineer of the Lewis Diesel Manufacturing Company, Memphis, and for 18 years the man who has figured power needs of most shows.

Governing all questions of electrical rawer on shows, of course, is the simple process of adding up how many kilowatts of power

the show is going to need to operate its various devices.

Pilkhtgton points out that the biggest draw on power sources on the average carnival is the lighting system. The light towers, gate lights, show lights, illumination for concession stands and the many bulbs on rides add up to a terrific draw.

The chief engineer recalls that a Roll -o- Plane, for example. requires 17 horsepower to operate. That translates into a need for nearly 13 kilowatts. A Ferris Wheel mar require about seven and a halfkilowatts. Kiddie rules take an estimated two to four kilowatts.

The organs for the monkey grinders are 9 inches in depth, 17 inches tall and 13 inches long. Constructed with 20 pipes and a

Portable Lighting Comes to the Fair

inventor of night sports lights hooks fairs

Portable equipment featured by Connolly

A 8.1 -year -old Irish -American, who may have handled more cable than any other living electrician, is direotly responsible for night sporting events in the Cnited States and Canada.

Ask any Eastern sports promoter olio introduced the first night baseball games, night horse racing or night football and he in- variably will say Charley Con - noll .

Connolly can be seen from coast to coast each year setting up his numerous portable lighting plants at horse race meets, auto rams. fairgrounds and baseball games. Ile is the mole Charley Connolly from Lake Success. N. Y.. that talked Connie Mack into putting lights in Schihe Park at Philadelphia in 1930. Later he erected lights in Femvay Park at Boston and lit up the first college all -star football night game in the same city.

Lit Ball Games The first night football game

to be held in Yankee Stadium was played hunter arcs erected by Connolly who whipped every ob- stacle and barrage of pessimists who claimed that night sports would not draw-.

His critics were amazed when he jumped the attendance from an average high of 8.000 to 18,- 000 when Newark played Jersey Cite in the "Little World Series` of Ilse International League in the earls. '30's.

Chicago's Wrigley Field has seen fens' night events but one of the outstanding successes at this park was the outdoor appiar- ance of the Harlem Globetrotters under Connolly's portable light plant long before Major League baseball parks were sporting such modem equipment.

A tour with the (louse of David baseball tram sau' Connolly doing one -night stands from coast to coast and across Western Can - ada.

pretty sure thing that the more economical way is to generate ones own power.

Lighter Weight Biggest development In the

power- supply field over the past few years is that plants capable of delivering more kilowatts now weigh less

For example, Pilkington states that a 80- kilowatt plant of few years ago weighed 4,600 pounds for generator and engine combination.

Today a 100 -kilowatt system weighs that same 4,600 pounds.

The improvements are trace- able to use of lighter materials, but also they are more efficient because of higher speeds and horsepower. The savings in ton- nage brings savings in transportation costs among other ways.

comings, the veteran sound system operator is quick to admit that the industry has made vast progress since the 1920's. The systems used in those days were crude and bulky, had trumpet horns and were used primarily for announcements. They were not capable of reproducing singing or music to any great degree.

Today they are compact, have a wider tone range, more micro- phone input, oan be used with mixers and thru the use of boost- ers, it is possible to string longer lines with no loss of reproduction quality.

T o d a y's pencil -type_ microphones. with their wide pick -up range, better quality and compact size, are a, vast improvement over the early models. The old -timers were bulky, blocked the view of the speaker and the listeners and needed constant maintenance and repairs.

Despite the shortcomings, open -air reproduction of sound has made great strides and the future will bring more, Ackerman predicts.

is of two types. In one, the circus lights its midway and banner line and it goes to some effort to light up the interior of the big top. In the other. the show uses the field lights of a ball park or football stadium for its performances in front of grandstands.

Both systems light the performance okay and apparently please the people who have found the show and bought tickets already. But neither show is using lights as a homing beacon for customers. So far, circuses don't use lights for advertising whereabouts.

Tent circuses generally set up on a lot that is not used for other public purposes. Often it is a vacant area or pasture and the public is driving "blind" to find it. But a single light tower angled up into the night would signal to them that something special is going on there. The ball park show is up against much the same problem.

A simple tower atop the light plant wagon would do the trick. It should be festooned with neon or fluorescent tubes and it could be fitted with a flasher or blink- er light at the peak.

over the years in efforts to provide colored aerial beams of light, but most colors are so dense that the transparent gellatin cov- erings cut the light intensity. Al- most all colored beams weaken before traveling very far. It bas been found that gold passes sufficient light to make a good beam for publicity use.

Searchlights have been used for publicity purpose from the time they become available. Whether mating or stationary, the bright stream of light is an eye -catcher and attention- getter. For years they have been used by amusement parks and carnivals, in addition to uses by various retail establishments. Ohio ride operator Floyd Cooding leads the outdoor show world in spotlight pos- session with 10. Among other major carnivals, Royal American has six, and the Cetlin & Wilson and Blue Crass shows have four apiece.

Where once the calliope reigned supreme as a ballyhoo tool. the sound truck and seareh- light have become predominant over the years. In some instances a loud- speaker is mounted on a light carrying truck and they are used in conjunction thru city streets, with the beam headed straight up. With the golden -colored beam, notes George Wendel - ken. of Publicity Searchlight Company, the slogan "Follow the golden beam" or other expressions referring to jackpots at the end of rainbows, have become successful. The air -cooled lenses are no

hotter than fluorescent tubes and so do not disturb the gellatin.

An advantage of shows and parks using searchlights is the off- season income available. Gooding, for one, has rented his lights for store openings and sales on numerous occasions. A light can pay for itself thnn one winter's rentals, Wendelken says.

The searchlight market is corn- ered cozily by four major suppliers, whose operations are almost strictly regional. Wendelken, with 132 lights, operates out of New York. Jerry Pile's firm is located in Chicago, as is Earl Sehultz's company, We I.ight the Way, and the Anderson Bros. are in Los Angeles. All together, there are some 350 or 400 lights in use by show enterprises -carnivals, circuses, drive -in movies, parks and auditoriums. Judging by the frequency of their use fn 1957, and the purchases of parts such as carbons so far, the skies ought to be lit from coast to coast once mild weather and the outdoor amusement season set in.

opening number of the show, which to the producers, was highly desirable. A total of six of the 18 tapes were used to immediately get across the vastness of sound in relation to the wide scope of the sho a and its setting.

In looking back at the experience, Avery is quick to recognize the value of good equipment and good technical help. Get the best of everything, is his advice.

Centennial officials say the three events under one roof will pros-ide a great variety of entertainment and ideas, The Centurama will feature stage and water revues. Corn - edy and musical productions will cover the gay '90's in British Co- lumbia, the roaring '20's and the present rock and roll era.

The latest home -building de- signs, materials, furnishings, deco- rating and innovations will be displayed in the home show. Sports equipment from fish hooks to camp trailers will be attractions at the sportsman's show.

There will be many added features during the eight -day show, with the spotlight on a modern ranch -style bungalow which will be constructed at the PNE complete with furnishings and land- scaping. Public fishing will be permitted at a trout tank stocked with fish.

Children won't be forgotten; there will be an animal and bird land, with ducks, geese, deer and other animals.

Fresh salmon will be canned nightly at a cannery display, and a logging company will nm a saw- mill, milling boards from logs. A boat company will lay the keel of a sports cruiser on the first day of the show, with deadline for com- pletion of the boat eight days later,

The two units are expected to build large volume patronage and bring additional business into the park.

The park management has roped - mented quite a bit in the past season and previously with ride -price factors, and is making the present move as the result of serious study. Typical was the highly successful type of promotion last year thru business and industrial firms who offered their patrons strips of five free ride tickets. These were wide.

In another area, the park tried bargain rates for Saturday matinees for youngsters and was able to build afternoon business into figures as big as those for Saturday nights. The essential policies were a I-cent admission on the kiddie rides and dime on all major rides.

Based on this experience and study of ride admission policies, Milton 1Vagner, park vice- presi- dent, said that the reduced price policy for the season is expected to meet the present critical business conditions in this erra for the season.

"We are looking (inward to e year as good as or better than last year, because of the strong promotional program. We know employ- ment is away down, and we are en- deavoring to overcome this by promotion."

BIG TURNOUT

Lower -Priced Articles Stand Out at N. Y. Show

By IRWIN KIRBY There were 437 exhibit booths accounted for when the 20th

Variety, Toy & Novelty Merchandise Fair opened Friday (7) for a

10 -day- run on three floors of the New York Trade Show Building. The title, almost all encompassing, is a fair label for the wide panorama of items displayed. These were ]a to priced-volume e lower rived volume rived is e decorous description -items offered to many buyers who flocked into town to visit the big American Toy Fair. To be sure, there were

shoppers who were not at all Interested in the big tov exposition. They were concerned with concession prizes. door -to -door sales pieces,

premiums and stock for stores and stands in amusement parks, resorts

and metropolitan theater districts. Imports and domestic pieces were priced as high as $20 and even

higher, but most of the merchandise shown in the Trade Show Build- ing retailed at much less than $5. A flurry of activity by potential jobbers and store representatives was evident during the opening weekend, but mid -week days that followed were almost devoid of action until the evening hours when the big top show let out and spilled its

customers out of the New Yorker and McAlpin -hotels. The Trade Show Building is across Eighth Avenue from the New Yorker and heralded its low -priced contents with big marquee signs.

Price Cuts Noted There were few new items, most exhibitors concentrating on cut-

ting the already low prices on such things as jewelry and novelties. Interest was keen, however, in developments in the lamp field. One was an adaptation, by Volkan Lamp & Shade. of the red fireplug bank. Bob Kahn showed it in hvdrocal plaster with flock finish, 32 inches

tall, with a blazing red shade. Another attractive lamp item was the

boxed matched pairs of table lamps by Louis Seltzer. The former is

under $5, and the latter under 53, wholesale. A $14.95 retailer is

P. R. Products' combined shrine -floral piece lamp. Brass -plated and

boxed, it contains a figure of Christ either meditating or on crucifix, in a setting of waxed flowers illuminated from within.

The always humorous Belgian Prince fountain to

clever use by Kings Court Manufacturing, which has the boy mounted

on a bottle stopper and dribbling the beverage of your choice when

the bottle is inverted. It's a $1 retailer. Show promoter Arthur Tarshis said that thru Tuesday night (11)

there were more than 3,400 buyers registered at the trade -only exhi-

bition, and prospects were for many more. The show was already

negotiating for a fourth floor for the 1959 event. The current space consciousness has stimulated interest In spy -

glasses, and many exhibitors showed either binoculars or telescopes, or

both. In this phase of the merchandise, as in others, foreign goods

were predominant. Astra Trading, for one, had a sturdy five -power

scope In three sections, suitable as a $2.49 retailer. Ash Tray Popular

Several importers showed the Japanese sandbag ash tray, the

body being shaped like a reclining dog. In the pen field, Duro Pen

won considerable interest with its working roulette wheel desk model.

The hall -point pen has its receptacle in the wheel rim. Orman Industries has the car cleaner down to a $1.49 retail

level. It has a cotton yarn mop head, fastened to an aluminum tube

which mounts a garden hose cap on the other end. The battery- operated

miners' lamp, as shown by S. Hiller, had a couple of variations, as the

lamp globe resembled a pumpkin head, skull or lighthouse. Retail

price is $1. Starliter showed its $1.98 novelty lighter which pops Into

Flame when a gust of wind hits platinum threads within, thereby

igniting the lighter fluid fumes. On opposite ends of the price ladder were Imprint Art Products'

novelty cards, and Kolbert Sales imports from India. Imprint showed

stickum- backed bumper and bike slogans in glowing color, also a

palm -sized gag sticker just right for back -slapping a favorite enemy.

The labels stick to fabrics without damaging them, and can be used

again. Kolbert had a three -plate relish dish of hand -rubbed mahogany

and brass bound. A $16 retailer, it folds together to resemble an up-

right, flat gong. Also shown was an alligator -skin wallet with inset

watch at $18. Kiltie Manufacturing, -with an all- hassock array, showed

several varieties of its eight- pound, 10 -14 -14 model ranging from $1:40

to $1.70.

days in Which to appeal. He added that the suit is technically one in equity and in which the Supreme Court has jurisdiction. This court. he explained, can assign the case to an intermediate one.

Babcock's action followed the awarding of the midway contract to the combination of the three shows for $132.500 as against his bid for 3117.500. He claimed in his original complaint that he had information that the shows named were prepared to pay only $106,- 500 for the gayway concession in the event he had not entered a bid.

The original complaint charging conspiracy to restrict competition also named the California State Fair & Exposition, against which action was withdrawn last August when a local Superior Court judge ruled that the filing was ambiguous and that the State was not a part of the alleged conspiracy.

PROFILE OF THE WEEK

Shooting for Adult Market Harold Sdhaef is no front-office man. In shirt sleeves, with

a cigar stuck in his mouth, he as often as not is back in the plant working the kinks out of a prototype machine. Pre -occupied, working seven days a week, he gives the impression of gruff- ness at first acquaintance. One learns that this is merely a facade unconsciously used to parry abstractions and keep him- -

HAROLD SCILAEF self going at maximum output.

Schaef lives Ihi.c life in hunks. For weeks at a time he works day after day, with little diversion. at his two plants in Chicago and - suburban Franklin Park. Then abruptly he drops everything, gathers a group of friends, and heads for his hide -out resort in Michi- gan, where the closest out - post of civilization is the hamlet of Bear Lake.

His many friends have dubbed the resort "Schaefs Haven." Years ago he began with a large, sprawling cottage. which lie reno- vated. Since then a winter cottage. a swimming pool next to Lake Michigan and ... no front -office man a combination recreation hall and garage have been added, while a broad lassn has been carefully cultivated. Ten acres of farm land, and a surrounding wood in which to hunt

grouse, rabbit. squirrel and duck complete the rustic setting. A bachelor, one of Schae's greatest pleasures in life is being able to entertain friends away from the drive and swirl of the city.

Once each winter, when the bulk-vending industry is at low ebb, Schaef takes a vacation, usually to die semi- tropics. Traveling in a party of four, he has visited such places as Florida, California, islands in the \Vest Indies, while this winter he flew to Honolulu.

Early in the 1950s Scharf decided that bulk vending could never reach its potential as long as it had to rely almost entirely upon children's pennies. In 1953 he brought 5-cent capsule on a limited scale. By May'. 1954, the new capsule had nation -wide distribution. In many instances the 5 -cent capsule had a remarkable initial success. Eventually, however, it proved difficult to man-

NATD to Hold Vending Talks

NEW YORK - Vending will play a major role in the 1958 convention of the National Associa- tion of Tobacco Distributors, to be held in the Americana Hotel, Mi- ami Beach, April 16-21.

Of particular interest to cigarette operators will be the discussion on subsidies from the manufacturers for the placement of various brands.

Arthur F. Schultz, NATD director-at- large and president, will act as chairman. The problem will be entitled "Confronted With Ris- ing Costs, Can Vending Machines Be Operated Profitably If Stripped of Subsidies ?"

Other topics to be discussed will be the bonus and high commission problem and methods of obtaining capital for new equipment.

The formal vending sessions are scheduled for April 19.

Va. Bill Changes Vend Tax Methods

RICHMOND - Virginia Senate Finance Committee approved House of Delegates bill (March 5) to permit the taxing of certain coin -

operated machines as a group rather than individually licensing each unit.

As amended and passed by the House the bill would also allow retailers owning such machines to be taxed on the merchandise vended thru the machine according to volume dispensed rather than paying

separate license fee on the machines themselves.

Nothing is covered in the legislation regarding machines placed on location by operators, so this apparently excludes candy, nut and rest -room units, which are already covered by existing statutes.

'Ringmaster' Firm Formed at Becker

BRILLION, Wis. -The char division of the L. M. Becker Com- pany was separated from the parent firm last week (12) and re- named Ringmaster Chars, announced Roy Wilnies, sales manager.

Ringmaster Charms will sell exclusively to distributors at special distributor prices, and will launch a nation -wide "Get It From Your Distributor" campaign, said Wilmes further.

The L. M. Becker Company re- entered the charm manufacturing field last May, after a seven -year inteveral, during which the company concentrated upon manufacturing candy and combs, said Wilmes. A prime reason for placing the charm division under a separate company, he etintinued, was because the comb and candy division of L. M. Becker had no re- lationship to vending, dealing exclusively with candy- tobacco job-

Memphis Cig Ops Had Best Year in 1957

MEMPHIS - Practically every cigarette vending machine operator here had a better year in 1957 than ever before.

Sloan O. Craig, collector of licenses and privileges, reported cigarette vending showed a bigger growth. during 1957 than any other type of vending. "It is going great guns," he said. "There is a nice profit in cigarette machines and the boom continues."

He reported that a total of 1,976 cigarette machines were licensed as of December 31, 1957, compared to 1.500 at the same time in 1956. The boom in cigarette vending started about three years ago. Main reason was acceptance by the public and location owners. Craig said location owners told, him they liked the cigarette machines

volved in across -the -counter sales, and did away with pilferage.

Craig estimates that more cigarettes in Memphis are sold thru vending machines than over the counter. The increase in price operators made last year because of

1 -cent increase manufacturers passed on did not lower sales at all. At that time most filter and king - size cigarette were selling in machines for 30 cents, while the regular -size cigarettes were selling for 28 cents. After manufacturers raised prices most operators charged a standard 30 cents per pack.

A check of the totals of cigarette machines licensed in -recent years shows the boom trend started big in 1955. At the end of 1950 a

total of only 327 cigarette venders were on location. By 1955 there were 844 out, aq increase in !i.1. years of 517. By June 30 of 1

rl (' that figure had jumped to Ill, an increase in six months of and more than the entire precedi, five -year increase.

One of the reasons operllors favor the cigarette vender is the relatively low tax. City tax is $3.25; county, $3.50, and State, 83.50, a

total of 310.25. No federal stamp is required, the tax being payed at' the source of manufacture.

erators- to buy from distributors. Special point -of -sale merchandise will be furnished distribntors. as well, continued Wilmes.

Feeling within the firm is that direct sales to operators do not contribute to the growth of bulk vending, stated Wilmes. On the other hand, he asserted, distributors are by their nature in a position to contribute substantially to the growth of bulk vending by being able to offer a complete line of Inerehan- dise.

In order to promote product identification, concluded Wilmes, special Ringmaster insignia will appear on the firm's packaging, advertising and literature.

Production of cigars in 1957 totaled 5,897,171,014. an increase of 130.598,469 over 1956, according to Treasury Department. Pro- duction of small cigars during 1957 was set at 49,010,140, a decrease of 14,563,608 from 1958.

1931 he formed a partnership under the name of Northwest Coin Machine Company, and was one of the first manufacturers of counter games. The depression bit hard; however, and by 1934 he was forced to sub- contract to luckier manufacturers on a royalty basis.

In 1936 he entered the bulk - vending field when he and Harold Burt formed a partnership and launched the Silver King Corpora- tion. In 1938 they dissolved the partnership and Scharf net up a closed corporation with the name Victor Vending Corporation, the name it bears today. During the sear Scharf did government work at his plant seven days a week. 16 to 18 hours a day. Tho he doesn't regret it, he quietly states that he would never work that hard again.

At present Victor has a 13,000 square -foot plant in Chicago turning out 12 different types of machines, says Schaef. As output increased Victor opened another plant, the H. M. Schaef Corpora- tion, in Franklin Park. There he manufactures charms, capsules and does some assembly work in a factory as large as its sister in the city. The two plants together employ 30 people.

Victor Vending has approximately 40 distributors around thee oun- try. Carefully drawn contracts guaranteeing exclusive distributor - I

ship are non -existent. It isn't necessary, for distributors have learned that a verbal promise of co-operation from Schaef is binding.

Shooting for Adult Market Continued ¡narre

ufacture charms of sufficient novelty and quality to fit the small cxu su le, and the market worsened, aided by operators who began using inferior merchandise.

Last winter Schaefs firm brought out the jumbo capsule, while last week Scharf introduced a new machine, the Triple Viewer, which he believes will be effective in promoting quarter ca rule vending. He thinks that while there will always be a steady, limited market for the 5-cent capsule, the jumbo makes it possible for the first time to offer quality merchandise at a selling price far under usual retail levels.

Altho he is counting on the jumbo capsule to open up the adult market, Schaef is already working on another new idea. Understandably mum, he thinks that thi. new type principle in bulk vending they are working out at Victor will revolu- tionize the industry in a way paral- lel to the introduction of the charm back in the thirties.

Born 1907. in Frankfort, Mich., Schaef moved to Chicago after he was graduated from high school in his home town. In I928 he began in vending as an instructor of road men for the then gigantic Peerless Weighing Machine Company. In

on the O'Mahonev bill (S- 1870), which,woulcl end juke box royalty exemptions, have beer delayed until April 23, 24 and 25, it was announced by spokesmen for the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Patents and Copyrights here, last week (141.

A fort ter putting off of the hearings is said to be due to conflict with other Senate business and also to present encroachment on Congress Easter vacation.

It is the fourth time the hearings have been postponed. For each of the first teen times, delays were occasioned by successive deaths of Music Operators of America counsels -Sidney Levine and later his successor, Chauncey Carter.

Third delay carne about when committee chairman O'alahoney, was forced to cancel clue to a

conflict with other hearing dates. At that time, the last date of April 9. 10 and 11 were set.

The current postponement puts the hearings just one week ahead of the forthcoming Music Operators of America Convention, scheduled for Chicago May 8, 7 and 8.

It comes as a blow to 810A officials, most of whom will have the double problem of making last minute convention arrangements and preparing cases for the hearings.

8101 president George A. Miller has repeatedly urged operators to take advantage of the additional

Jima by sscitisg to their respective

congressmen as well as members of the O'Mahoney committee, to present the MOA side. however, the repeated delay has also had the disadvantage for 8101. of producing a lag in interest among operatori.

USED RECORD MARKET

Monthly Turn -Ins Mean More Profit for Juke Op

NEW YORK -- t ,ed records need not be a dead loss for the juke box operator. Several more astute music merchants here are marketing their used disks in farm. era markets. with the concession taking half of the receipts and the operator taking the other half.

The disks sell for 30 cents each, or three for $1. For the same records, used record dealers will pay the operator from 5 cents to 15 cents a disk, depending on various factors.

Man' operators make the mistake o) saving their old records in order to sell a big batch at one time and pull in one big check.

Monthly Turn-Ina Actuall the beet way to dis-

pose of old records is to turn these

in every month. Generally, the value of a used record ends within three to sic month's after it has

been pulled from the juke box.

The longer the operator keeps the disk, the less it's worth. Some dealers in used records will give an operator up to 15 cents a disk, provided the operator turns in all his used records on a regular monthly basis.

if the operator is only an occa- sional seller, and the records are six months old, he might get only a nickel a disk. if they're much alder, he might get nothing.

Volume Counts As a rule, label. artist and title

mean little to the dealer who buys

used records from the operator.

He's interested in volume, and he

figures that he won't be able to

use a certain percentage. By and large, the dealer knows

what he can expect from a given

operator, and pays accordingly. Average price is about 10 cents

Operators Holding Line in New Dime Play Areas Despite Slump

A national business slump, very much in est- dence "thneout the economy, is proving especially troublesome to operators in newly converted dime play areas. Many locations, hit by sagging business, are clamoring for a return to nickel play, feeling this to be at least a partial remedy for their ills. All operators affected ore fighting the battle -some more successfully than others.

Following are reports from three cities where

PHOENIX - Altho collections are down from a general economic lag in the area, 10 -cent play has been a decided success during a six -month test period, according to the Arizona Music Guild here.

President Al Harper of City Mu- sic Company reports that conversion to 10 -cent play was made over about a one -month period by some 14 major operators in Phoenix and suburbs, and that results, with a few exceptions, showed across -the- board profit increases.

Summer Slump Returns might have been even

better except that the six -month period embraced Phoenix's hot summer season when most of the desert cities customarily show a

sharp economic drop. Toward the close of the six -month period, which was the opening of the 1957 tourist season, collections for all opers l 10

Prior to most operators making conversions, the Arizona Music Guild ran a two- column display ad in Phoenix newspapers, setting forth the reasons, stressing the increase in the cost of new phonographs, records and other overhead. This bit of public relations was not only to prepare the public for 10 -cent play but likewise as a mollifying influence on location owners, who, as expected, often


dime play has only recently become a reality. In Phoenix. Aria., altho collections are down, recent conversion by operators is a decided success. In I)cnver, operators are facing heavy location pressure to return to nickel play, but thus far are holding the line effectively. however, in St. Louis, recently converted to the dime, it appears the nickel is cor- ing bark strong despite all operators can do to stem the tide. The reports from each city follow: DENVER - Despite heavy

location pressure, brought about by a severe business slump, local operators are steadfastly refusing to revert back to nickel play in this Mountain State area.

The dime has been uniformly entrenched thruout Denser and environs for close to a year -but operators remember the conversion was á slow and painful one, taking three full years to completely win over location owners on the merits of the move.

Now, however, revert, cutbacks in spending, both in the locations and on the machines, hase caused many location owners to press For a return to the "good old days.° Many feel the nickel might be the answer.

Hold Line But operators are holding the

line, most feeling it better to lose the stop than operate with the devalued buffalo -headed coin.

In at least three documented instances, operators have removed 200 -selection machines from several stops substituting older models or none at all, when the location owner insisted on the 5 -cent setting. In almost every case, the location owner backed down, tele- phoned the operator and asked him to replace the machine at the 10 -cent rate.

ST. LOUIS -After more than two years of steady progress toward universal 10 -cent play in the St. Louis area, there has been a sharp trend in the other direction, reports the Missouri Music Ma- chine Association, with the result that at least one -third of the city's juke boxes are "back to nickel play."

'Economic necessity was the reason," typical operator Sidney Morris, manager of J. S. Morris k Sons Novelty Company, indicated.

"There have been a lot of lay- offs in St. Louis industry which have resulted in employees cur- tailing their spending radically. For the first time in many years, we have had specific instances where tavern customers are rom-

Music for Airlines: Airports and Planes

By DELORES NEWCOMB \VASHINGTON -Air travelers,

leaving or departing from the nations capital, are sometimes pleasantly surprised by the sound of music being piped into their aircraft. What many don't realize is

that they're witnessing one of the most unusual background music installations in the country -if not the world.

Behind the venture Is Michael Bushdid, successful music and amusement games operator here, who recently expanded his operation to include the background service. In addition to running the popular game room at Washing- ton's National Airport, he recently completed a background installation in the American Airline ticket office.

Planes Next His next -and most recent ven-

ture-was more bizarre: The installation of background music in the American Airline planes.

According to Bushdid, "when a plane spends more than 30 minutes standing by we supply music for the passengers, and find it is liked by them, airline officials and employees alike."

Passengers really enjoy sitting back and relaxing to soft music 1 l'

while waiting for planes to be loaded, he said.

Using the facilities of Station WMAL, plus RCA music and Bo- gen equipment, Bushdid has developed a unique method of getting music into planes.

At first he thought It would be a simple matter to wire the music into planes from equipment in the airport itself. He soon discovered, however, that Civil Aeronautics Administration turned thumbs down on any wire. The CAA feared accidents from the wires, so another method had to be found.

Wire Sound With assistance from J. C. Rob-

erts, of American, and two engi- neers, Archie Eddington and Cecil Clark, the ingenious Bushdid turned tothe power generating fa- talities already in use by the airline. He found that by making a

few changes in a Hobart motor generator tractor, the type now used to give power to airplane engines, lie could get the current needed to carry music.

An inverter was put in the tractor, so the current could accommodate a Bogen receiver. The receiver is cleverly mounted on a hand truck complete with antenna. A

wire is then nm directly into the aircraft's public address system.

When a plane is being readied for a cross -country flight, the mu- sics equipment is set up by employees of American's radio room. Since the receiver is mounted on a handtnuck, it is easily transported.

Generator The generating tractor Is al-

ready in place to give power to the plane's engines. Speakers inside the plane are recessed, and the quality of the music is described as good.

It gives almost a supper -club at- mosphere to the plane, as one hos- tess put it. "Our only complaint is

that we can't have the music during the entire flight."

That would be impossible, however, because the public address facilities must be clear in flight so the pilot can keep in touch with the control towers and talk to the passengers.

The airline ays Bushdid a flat monthly fee for the service. He provides the music to about five cross-country planes a day. The airline eventually will play up the background music in its ads, Bush- did said.

NEW SPUTNIKS LAUNCHED IN GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON - Three new Sputniks were launched In Great Britain last month, and all are coin -operated.

The annual Amusement Trades Exhibition here served os the occasion for the triple send -off.

One of the Sputniks, a coin kiddie ride manufactured by Edwin Hall, reportedly caused a mild sensation. It consists of a glistening white globe with a confortable seat, intriguing instrument panel and coin mechanism. Three an- tennae projecting from the globe are decorated with flashing red lights. It rocks and rolls with kiddie enclosed. as

a buzzer spells out the name. Sputnik, in morse code.

Another is a one -ball game of Kraft's Automatics. On the backglass a sputnik rotates on a planetary field amid Tenus, Mars and the Moon. Players aim at ball bumpers on the playfield, which causse the sputnik to stop its rotation, and a three- penny chocolate bar to jackpot out.

Still another Sputnik consists of a payout wall machine, made by Parkers Automatic Supplies.

Six of Eight Take '5th' in Chi Probe

Union -Game Quiz Still Seeks Larner, Assoc. Exec and Man of Many Faces

CItICACO -The coin machine - Local 134 (Electrical Workers Union) Inquiry progressed on the Cook County grand jury- level here last week as eight witnesses appeared, six reportedly taking the Fifth Amendment.

At the same time, investigators on the local, State and federal level still sought Hyman -Lamer, executive secretary of the Chicago Independent Amusement Associa- tion. who has apparently made off with association records.

Lather was revealed last week as a Jack of many trades, offices and climes.

In the building at 18.5 E. Ontario here, where he moved association headquarters less than a year ago, he also rented an office under the name of Edward Jarvis. and put the name of an oil firm, the Salinas Basin Development Company, on the door.

Name Round -Up He reportedly used Iris real

name. Lamer. when he made oil investments with Rue Menken, who had an office adjoining that of the coin game association.

The compact sic - by - two - foot game has a horseshoe -type ball director which spins a two -inch rubber composition ball at up to 3,800 r.p.m.

Players, who take turns shooting, control aim of the ball by turning a knob, and press a button to shoot the ball at the fy -away pins. Ball directors relocates after every shot, calling for fresh aim by player with every ball.

Scoring is regulation, with separate automatic scoring reels on the backglass for two players. One or two can play.

Midget has a backbox easily accessible for servicing, a relatively quiet operation, National slug rejector drop chute ane gayly colored cabinet and backglass.

Judge Says Anti -Pin Action

1958 Game Market Boasts Big Crop of Fresh Amusement Ideas

CHICAGO -As die going gets tougher on the sales ernd, products get better and better. At least that appears to be the case in the coin - operated amusement g,ame market.

Since the start of the new year a host of new ideas in game models have showed up that rival anything produced in a like period of time in the industry's history.

The clincher is that these new ideas have met with success during a period of tight money bags. Were the market in a normal state of affairs there is little doubt that some of these new games could set new highs in sales.

But, the market being what It is, with operators saddled with paper and game players stretching their dimes and quarters, it Is a

tribute to the manufacturers that they have come up with several games that are racking up more than fair sales.

Compact Bowlers Shine If there is any one trend appar-

ent on the current new game market, it is toward production of the new compact "gun" or "manikin" bowling games. Three, manufacturers - Bally, WVilllams, and United -am all busy on output and sales of these games. The Bally and WW'illiams models have been on the market since the turn of the year, while United begins shipments this' week.

While all three games feature basically the same type of play, all differ in design.

Bally's All - Star, first on the

proceedings against pinball equipment is not within the province of his court, Superior fudge J. A. Fleishbein has declared.

The Porter County jurist registered the assertion in answer to a demand that he bring action against a "county pinball government.'

The call for the enforcement of the State's anti-pin law was ad. dressed to the judge by David Par - ry, Chesterton, a former Demo- cratic county chairman. Fleish- bein is a Republican.

"Judges are not the investigating officers of the county." the jurist stated. 'The courts are required to hear cases when presented by both sides." -

Judge Fleishbein added that he would not convene a grand jury. as demanded by Parry, for an inventi. gation of what the Democratic leader described as the "pinball machine menace."

Circuit Judge C. L. Burns and Prosecuting Attorney Fred Crum - packer refused comment on Parry's challenge.

Rock Ops Resolve To Do Own Policing

By ELTON WHISENHUNT LITTLE ROCK -A plan for

rigid policing of locations with pinball machines was voted unanimously by the Little Rock Opera- tors Association at a meeting last week. according to Harold Dun- away, vice- president and spokesman for the group.

Dunaway, partner in Twin Cities Amusement Company at North Lit- tle Rock, said the meeting followed an expose by the Arkansas Demo- crat, afternoon daily newspaper. about conditions in which many teenagers were violating State law by playing pinballs.

Location owners were the brunt of the operators' resolution to keep teenagers under 18 away from na-

chines in "private clubs" which have sprung up in Little Rock in the past year.

A staffwriter for the Democrat, Martin Holmes, wrote a story telling of how Little Rock note has 59 "private clubs;' whereas there were truly a few last year.

Not Very Private Dunaway said that Holmes dis-

covered in his visits to the clubs that they were not private and that anyone could get in. Inside, teenagers drank beer and whiskey. danced and played amusement garnet, he said.

Operators have a lot of pinballs, including in- lines, on locations in the private clubs. Slitte law pro -

market, features a pivoting "gem" controlled in aim by the placer, who presses a lever to "fire a

ball at fly-away pins. It utilizes three -inch balls.

Williams' Ten Pins. in place of a "gun," has a player - controlled manikin bowler about a half -foot high which catapults balls at pins. The pins are suspended on woven strings, springing up when hit, and balls are under one -inch diameter.

United's Midget Bowling Alley, bowed this week (see separate story, this section) has a horseshoe type ball °gun" that spins a twp- inch rubber composition ball at up to 3,800 r.p.m.. and catapults the ball at fly -away pins when button is pressed.

Really Different Came Most radical new game on the

market -and equally successful to date - Is Chicago Coins Rocket Shuffle - a game that defies a

categorical grouping, While basically a' puck game, it combines the action features of a shuffle game with the interior design features of a gum game and the scoring features of an in -line pin.

Object of the game is to make in -line scores by lining up bound- ing rubber bails in score holes. In -line scores are registered when player presses a button, and balls can be knocked out of ball holes for better in -line arrangements by shooting a puck. The entire target field of 25 ball hole's is reflected from the bottom of the cabinet for added depth.

On the market since mid-Febru- ary, the game is reported making steady sales. The basic idea -most original on the market..-is likely to be adopted by other manufacturers with new models of similar design.

New Type Pin Still another fresh touch in game

design is apparent in the five -ball pin field, where new models generally follow one after another with

Personal Responsibility Miss Brown is responsible for

making up each record change for each phonograph personally, selected from no lesr than 1,280 plywood compartments, built along the wall of the retail record store, which the Cohen brothers operate out in front of their route office.

This huge fixture occupies almost S0 feet of wall space. The big compartment fixture has been kept in place so that Miss Broom, assembling one mum menu at a time, can select the desired record, slip it into a box which the route man will pick rip, marked for a specific location with a minimum amount of effort.

As she assembles the music menu, each number is called off to a typist, i11 the left rear corner of the room, who types up the labels, using a special slant -type which the Cohen brothers feels makes a more distinctive and easily readable listing.

The three collectors report in each morning and service anywhere from five to 10 machines during the day, depending, of course, on the frequency of record change and have little voice in the programming whatsoever. Altho she sometimes makes a mistake, programming a record that fails to play, in 99 per cent of all asses, her full time concentration on the

THE BILLBOARD WEEKLY

Coin Machine Price Index How to Use the Index

HIGHS AND LOWS Equipment and prices listed be-

low are taken from advertisements in The Billboard for

the period shown. Listings are based on the highest and

lowest prices on all equipment which have been

advertised either at least 10 times for the period

shown or at least 5 times together with a computation

based on annual average.

PRICES given In the Index are in no way intended to

be "standard, "national' "set," or offer an authoritative reflection of what prices should be on used equipment. Prices ui the Index are designed, however, to be a

handy guide for price ranges. Any price obviously

depends on the condition of the equipment, age, limo on location, the territory and other related factors.

(For 10 -week period ending with issue of March 10, 1958)

MEAN AVERAGE. The mean average Is a computation based on all prices of which a machine has been advertised for the period indicated and reflects the dominant advertised price level. It is not a simple average between the "high" and low." High and low indicate price range; mean average indicates the price level at which most of the machines are advertised for. Therefore, when the mean average is nearer the "high," it indicates the "Inn' is a unique price probably for "as is" on "distressed" equipment.

Milton T. Raynor, former CIAA legal counsel, testified before the grand jlary; and Mrs. Hattie Allegan, owner of a currency exchange .which cashen three CIrAA checks made oW to a Daniel Baker (also sought), reportedly testified.

Smith reportedly told newsmen before he entered the closed grand

lury room, that neither he nor his

ocal had receiLed money from the association.

The association hiked its dues to $1 per machine per month after signing a pact with Local 134 in December, 1958. At one time, a reported 9,500 union stickers were mailed out by the association to cover gaule operators' machines. This would amount to $13,500, and the potential for a year's take at this rate would come tó $54,000.

Were union stickers eventually made available to cover all of the approximately 6.000 city - licensed games on location in Chicago, the - potential for one year's take could come to $72,000.

however, not all of the city's game operators belonged to the

association and the union, and not all those who belonged bought union stickers for all their nla- chines.

How the money that was taken in was split, (if it was split) remains a prime question in the investigation.

Dunaway said: "The problem is with a few lo-

Hundreds Affected The resolution affects hundreds

of locations in Little Rock and Pulaski County, mostly cafes and

restaurants. Those location owners not co-operating could be hurt hard financially, Dunaway said, because usually pin games bring location owners enough money monthly to

pay rent and utilities. "Thousands of people derive at

least part of their livlihood from coin- operated machines,' Dunaway said. "We want to make certain that this industry is not threat- toed,"

plaiting over the 10 -cent- three -for- a- quarter rate, and we find the, are emphatic about it. As a resnti, we have had to change over la nickel play simply to keep phonograph usage up.'

Lower Income 'Morris hastened to point out tb.it

this resumption of five -cent play is confined primarily to lower income neighborhoods, and that photo- gra graphs in better class taverns,

cocktail limners and restaurarr,, are continuing to show good pl.,

at the 10 -cent figure. "It's a regrettable thing," linui,

said. "Particularly since all of uu have pelt in a lot of effort, ti nl the Association and on person ,I

initiative, in getting location otwnel co- operation in the matter of III. cent play. Not', we are more or less resigned to recession -type Opel ations in areas where employmeol cutbacks have meant that emplá.- ees no longer have enough csl, .,

funds to pay IO cents for phuu. graph play.'

In almost every known case tln switchback to nickel play wa., :1

"forced one," operators report. In some instances, for example. location owners, on finding that play had fallen off sharply in their locations, simply informed the servicing operator that unless the phonograph was returned to five -cent play, he would "replace it with someone else's equipment." This, of course, was a hitter pill to swallow, but it tins been responsible for the fact that an estimated 1,500 locations in the St. Louis area are again operating on a

nickel basis. The problem has been thorny

discussed at meetings of the MI, souri Amusement Machine Associ -. ation. One point cropping up in' rich discussion was the fact that there has been no such clamor for nickel play in the suburban districts. Such operators as John Caz-1 zolo, for example, whose Star Nov. elty Company has a predominance of suburban locations have converted only a few machines back to five -cent play. The general opinion of operators in the St. Louis area is that "we re simply going to have to tighten our belts. operate as economically as possible, until the

situation returns to normal and the public will again accept 10 play,

According to Sam Cooper, Paster Distributing Company general manager. By now many of the operators who have held off buying new bowlers 17ecatese they were waiting for "something radically new and different" in the game field to make its appearance. are beginning to see the light. They realize start instead of saving money by holding back and waiting, they have been missing out on a Int of earnings that they could have had with bowlers."

Despite the ¡n'ardtd optimism expressed by distributors over prospects for upped bowling game volume during the balance of the year, they agree that sales will not hit boon prnpnrtinns. Most operators claim that the high p¡urices, especially, of the longer bowler units are prohibitive. They also state that the limited space in the average location cuts down the awful- ness of the larger models. Small, 5L7 -foot bowlers are finding a fair market. according to distributors, as an answer to the numerous high price and space ohilctions.

"Manikin or gum" type bowlers have been tried on the Kendoll, Inc.. routes with encouraging re- nuits, according to Ken Kulow. "But. the prices are still too high for these units. in order to make out In the average location," he sass.

(leen Ceadtke, C. 6e W. Nov- elty Company, South Milwaukee, also notes that the high prices of long lowlen and gun howlers are keeping bis firm from making par - chases. "But, these games aren't the only ones that are too high priced today" says Ceadtke. "Op- erators are In danger of being priced right ont of the new eqquip- ment market In all flelds todas-, he claims.

The conclusion h obvious, according to. Cobb. The 50 -cent chute represents real saving for the custorner, but only if he knows about it and gives enough thought to the matter to we that a half dollar represents at least two and as many as four additional plays for his money. "All we are doing is making the public aware of what the 50 -cent chute means in termo of return for the money Invested."

put up stiff resistance to dime play conversions.

In most instances it took a concentrated selling job to get the location owner sold on the advan- tages of 10 -cent play.

Distributors co- operating in the program lent support with local newspaper ads and a direct -mail program to location owners. In- cluded were Canyon States Dis - tribution Company, handling Wu, litzer; Minthorne Music Company, with Seeburg equipment. and Paul Hawkins of Tucson, A.M.I.

Currently, around 43 per cent of the phonographs operating in the Phoenix area are on 10 -cent play. "Oddly enough, it hasn't been the public but the location owner who put up the most resistance to the change," a prominent operator indicated. The public is more or Liss resigned to slow price advances and, of course, is certainly aware that our costs have gone up.'
