Fickle Singles Mkt. challenges Dealers r

Label Increase, One -Shot Artists, Overloaded Distribs Pose Hurdles

.i..

NEW YORK - Due to the ficlde and rapidly expanding ree- ord market, dealers are faced with their greatest challenge to date in keeping up with single records that are breaking. A survey of

I dealers in several leading outlets shows that a combination of factors -- overproduction by individual companies, a preponderance of one -shot artists, distributors with too many lines to give all records proper attention; inadequate exposure on the jockey level and the

fconstantly increasing number of s active labels - are all contribut-

ing to dealer problems. P+ Ever -shifting trends, lack of po-

tent enough follow -up material and severe competition from new artists are still helping character- ire this as the season of one -shot

I.

artists. Few of the new artists who have come tip with some of this

r4. years biggest hits have managed to repeat on second tries. In those instances, where sequels have become chart disks. for the most part, sales have not even closely approx- imated those of their initial bits. Dealer buying by name power has become an increasing gamble ex- antat for the very few new artists who have managed to achieve some staying power.

Overloaded Distribs t Over- stocked distribs also add

to dealer confusion and problems. Some of the nation's leading and larger distributors handle as many

', as 30 to 40 lines. At certain periods, five or six of their accounts may have disks breaking. With the attention demanded on servicing and plugging these platters, many

co-òf the other lines necessarily suffer. Dealers In many instances are not even aware of potential, money - making records.

More Disks; Less Fhb

NEW Y011K -A,;'1 average of 15 uew labels each week submit records to The Billbr,ard music staff for review. The triltal of single records received e, 4h week has averaged coso tr-I 30 per cent above the weetet.y average for last year. r, r totals have also risen sharply.

The percentage of records which gross' into hits is markedly smaller. An average of 12 new sides hit The Billboard's llnt' 100 chart each week, while the Best Selling LP chart averages about three new Items,

much the saine. With so many records available, only a certain amount of the new records received each week can be pro- grammed. Again, many records are left to become only territorial and paltry hits, because of the lack of proper exposure.

Over 100 Per Week There are well over a hundred

new records available each week for dealer consideration, and overproduction by individual companies as well as the staggering number of total releases by the varirnu active labels increases dealer problems.

The difficulty of new ompa- nies getting a potential hit record off the ground is also indirectly a cause of dealer concern. Many of the newer labels do not set up a strong national distributor chain, send records to jockeys in leading breakout areas or give their product the proper exploitation. Con- tinual requests are received by The Billboard each week from distribs and dealers inquiring for the address of a new label or information about a record that they have heard is getting action in areas other than their osen.

A poll of some of the leading dealers suggests the following methods of combatting the problem.

Careful and selective buying, based on early public reaction, is often a guide to stocking a profitable record. In many cases waiting too long for a heavy demand on a

record can mean a loss of sales. Some of those contacted advised

PRO AID FOR

CULTURE CENTER FUND RAISING

WASHINGTON - A A- fessional fund- raising firm will help raise the $25 to $35 million needed to build the National Cultural Center for Performing Arts here, it was announced last week by Ar- thur Fleming, Secretary of Health, Education and Wel- fare, and chairman of the Center's money- raising board of trustees.

The big campaign to raise funds for America's long - awaited showcase for the performing arts will get triple impetus from Robert W. Dowling and his advisory committee of top- notchers in fields of music and talent; from the board of trustees, under chairman Arthur Flem- ing - and from the New York firm of Tamblvn and Brown. The fund -raising pros will advise and help the trustees in getting the public to open its heart and its pocket- book to make the Center a reality.

Dowling, who is chairman of American National Thea- ter arid Academy, and a veteran financier, reportedly In- tends to have close teamwork between his advisory committee and the officially designated fund -raising board of trustees.

Already on the agenda Is the appointment of a top- flight consultant to help prepare actual plans for the Center and its landsite here. By way of streamlining, Dow- ling i 34- member advisory committee has selected Regi- nald Allen, executive director of the Lincoln Center in New


Thrushes in Mass Flight to Shift Diskery Perches

Quest of Elusive Hit Spurs Fern Switches in Allegiance By REN CREVAIT

NEW YORK -The thrushes are on the move en masse. It's no secret that for several years, in fact, from the time of the popularizing of the rock and roll movement. tissue has been a preponderance of male artists on the best selling charts. Ap- parently the situation with the ferns has now. reached the point of mass dissatisfaction, with the lack of hits. In some cases, too, dissatisfaction on the part of a. &r, men with the hitless state of some artists also was seen as a cause for the fens moves.

Last year, for example, Rose- mary Clooney vacated Columbia for some free lance assignments at M -C -M. With the firm, she made several album with her husband, Jose Ferrer. In the free lance field, she also cut a package with Bing Crosby at RCA Victor, and lust this week, Coral issued a Clooney set titled, "Swing Around Roste," with the Buddy Cole Trio. Interestingly enough, Miss Clooney has gained some of her heaviest play on Point efforts with the Ili -Lo s on Colum- bia, with Crosby on Victor and with Ferrer on M -C -M. -

Some Fast Results In some cases at least changes

by ferns have brought almost immediate results. After a long dry spell it RCA Victor, June Valli signed with Mercury and forthwith came up with a chart record in "The Wedding." Her second disk fo- Mercury, "The Answer to a Maiden's Prayer," also made the

Next. laye P. Morgan also withdrew from the Victor scene for a berth at M-C -M. Her first disk with the new affiliation contained two oldies, "Miss You" and "Are You Lonesome Tonight." Both sides of the disk made the charts. Prior ro that time, it had been a long hitless spell for the attractive bloncle singer.

Further Anklings Dorothy Collins, meanwhile, left

Ilse Coral scene last year and later cut a free lance date for Everest Records, with which firm, her hat- band, Raymond Scott, was at the time affiliated. Now Miss Collins has again moved on, this time to the newly organized Rank of kmet- fea label. Another recent important move found Carmen McRae de- parting Deeca for a move down 57th Street here to Kapp R,cords. The gal's initial Kapp effort, "Play for Keeps," received considerable airplay. -

Only last week, the dep.-titre of Kay Starr from Victor was announced. Miss Starr returned to an earlier disk home at Capitol Rec- ords. About a month ago. Dinah Shore also made the switch from l'ictor to Capitol after an affiliation of close to eight years. Miss Shores- initial Capitol release is not expected for a period of several months.

Cap Builds Stereo Sales Pitch on $1.98 Sampler

Firm's 'What's New ?' Blueprint Aims At New Disk Impetus, Store Traffic

NEW YORK - Capitol Rec- ords has blueprinted its strongest merchandising program to date. Titled "What s New ?' the plan is

geared to two concepts: 1) Helping the retailer realize the full profit potential of new releases. 2) Cre- ating store traffic. The program is

designee: to be continuous, and the diskery intends to give it fresh impetus monthly.

Heart of the plan is a

low- priced stereo promotional album, retailing at $1.98, on which dealers get a full discount plus an extra 10 per cent. This package, which previews the label's outstanding new stereo packages, is designed as a merchandising tool, and cover art and liner notes are specifically tailored to promote saes of product demonstrated in the album. Cover art contains shots of 12 albums, and notes contain shots of artists plus continents as to what else is in the varions packages.

The first "What's New ?" package is due for release May 4. Cap-

18 New EP's

On Victor's Gold Standard

NEW YORK - Eighteen new RCA Victor 45's have been added to the Gold Standard catalog - the addition being especially note- worthy in that it includes the only Ella Fitzgerald -Benny Goodman recording ever made. This was recorded in 1937 and has never been available to consumers. Ray Clark, singles planning and merchandising chief, notes that the Fitzgerald- Goodman recording is a real collector's item, containing "Goodnight ?sty Love " "Take An- other Guess," "Did You Mean It," and "The Kingdom of Swing."

Also being made available for the time, according to Clark, are four of Presley's bestselling sin - gles: " liard - Headed Woman,' Good Rotkin' Tonight," "Don't,"

1 Beg of Yon." Clark stated that in addition to

the 18 new EP's, which constitute all -time smash hits, 28 current best -selling EP's are being added to the Gold Standard series from the regualr EP catalog. Artists included are Perry Como, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Chet Atkins, Eddy Arnold, Higo \Vinterhalter, Buddy Morrow, etc. A new catalog for the line has been prepared and a sales -aid brochure is being sent to distrib rc-cord managers and salesmen.

itol intends to issue a new ose monthly - appearing ssith each month's new releases.

A big national advertising cam - paign and an elaborate set-up of dealer aids will back the "What's New ?" program.

An important facet of Capitol's thinking is that 40 per omit of record store s()lime today is accounted for by alta tits which are out less than 80 days. In line with this belief, the diskery is urging that dealers give as much display as possible to new material. Some dealers may even set up a separate department, devoted to new product.

A dealer who orders a mininnue of 25 albums is entitled to "What's New ?" floor rack carrying the promotional package and various albums it demonstrates. There are also backyard displays, staffers, giant full -color displays, descriptive literature, etc. Sales- men will buttress the drive by helping dealers get the best possible display effect, no as to build ins -

pulse buying. It is hitenmled that

Crap salesmen will service the drive at the retail level monthly, helping the dealer iron out any problems.

An important part of the Capitol program is a subscription plan, handled by dealers for their customers. Diskery has made available subscription cards, which may be used with considerable flexibility. It la suggested, for instance, that dealers oars build repeat traf. fie by signing customers for 10 consecutive "What's New ?" packages at a cost to the customer of, say, $12. This would lie a saving of 78 cents an album. Or a dealer can give away a "What's Ness ?" package to a customer who buys several regular albums. And thirdly, dealer can advertise the "What's New ?" package as a spe- cks! premium.

The Capitol campaign will be heavily supported fan national consumer magazines, including Es- quire, The New Yorkcv, Holiday, High Fidelity, etc.

\\'hat's Ness?" will not be available to rack jobbers -only sia dealers and one- stops.

London Sales Build; Dealer Co -Op Program

NEW YORK - London Rec- ords has noted a 29 per cent sales increase for the year ending March 31, 1959. as against the same period In the previous year, sill a 100 per cent increase in the final three moats of 1958 oser the corresponding period the previous year.

Lee Ilartstone, teepee and sales chief for London, in discussing company goals and policies for the upcoming sales period, said that the increase was due strictly to dealer sales, since "London's policy is one of non -participation in any club or direct to consumer sales program."

Hartstone outlined a detailed program of dealer co- operations. Highlights include the maintenance of lowest possible list prices. consumer ad programs which in- dude a "see sour dealer" message, individual dealer merchandising plans, release of quality $1.98 LP's, and a continuing monophonic new release program. llartstone also discussed a catalog deletion plan" which provides dealers with merchandise to stock a special section of his store with a top name label at prices better than consumers can obtain thin any

One example of special dealer promotions cited by Ilartstone is the annual May is Mantovanl Month campaign. In this effort, substantial amounts of point of sale and other dealer aid materials are employed In the campaign on the artist's impressive catalog which include 10 stereo 1.P's and a stereo and monophonic sampler. Sales on this year's eighth annual campaign, Ilartstone said. are 100 per cent above those of last year.

RICHMOND BLUEPRINTS OWN PROMO PROGRAM

NEW YORK - Richmond Records, low -price subsidiary of London Records, and now being operated as virtually a separate entity from London, is plunging into a hard -hitting exploitation and promotion campaign. The label is being headed in its own quarters by Herb Goldfarb, a charter staffer of the American London organization.

Up till now Richmond lias been featuring re- releases of standard London material. Forthcoming Is

a new program of releases which have not been available before.

About June 1, the firm will release its initial batch of stereo, to retail at $2.98. At the same time, the long- dormant Telefunken label will be re- activated here with a spread of monaural and stereo releases of the best material from England and Germany. These will sell for $1.98 and 52.98. In line with these new plans, Goldfarb, together with London execs Lee

one dealer phrased .it, "It's like seeing a balloon get bigger after you let the air out."

One thing that has dealers knot- ting their brows is Coody's plan to open another brands at 43rd Street and 3rd Avenue, to be known as "Goody -East" (see separate story). Target date for the opening is July 1st.

Another thing that bothers them is the cut -price, business -as -usual tone to Goody advertising. If anything, the discounts are as high or higher than ever with Goody offering 50 per cent off on many labels.

pany promotion departments are working overtime devising attention- getting gimmicks for the Sec- ond Annual Radio Programming Seminar and Pop Music Disk Jockey Convention (sponsored by Storz Stations) in Miami this month -May 29, 30, 31. Stunts scheduled include taping facilities for artist interviews, bus trips for deelays' wives. and specially staged recording sessions.

At last years convention in Kan- sas City, Mo.. Columbia walked off with the bulk of promotional

on Deejay Meet honors, but this year indications are that both the major and.indie labels will go all -out in competition for jockey attention.

Capitol Records, as previously announced, will stage special recording sessions in Miami with Peggy Lee and George Shearing. RCA Victor will set up a special suite, complete with recording facilities and photographers, during the entire convention.

Victor will make these facilities available to jocks for taping interviews with any of the artists attending the conention; while RCA photographers will shoot still

photos of the jocks with the recording stars.

The still pictures will later be sent back to the deejays' home town newspapers. Convention co ordinator Bill Stewart, Storz national program chief, emphasized that the RCA taping facilities would be available for taping all artists, and not just those affiliated with the Victor label.

Fiesta Hits Rental Snag

CHICAGO -- Playboy Magazine hit a snag this week in its plans

mammoth jazz festival here August 8 -9 when it was served notice by the Chicago Park District that Soldier Field may cancel its rental. The mag is holding contracts for about two dozen top jazz names, including Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck.

Belief is that religious groups are pressuring city fathers for the cancellation because of the racy content of the sponsoring mag.

Playboy's jazz promotion director Don Gold said that the mag has a letter from the Park District giving it a green light to proceed with its plans, that the signing of contracts was merely a formality. When the move to cancel later developed, the letter emerged as a possible battle- ground for legal argument.

Irwin Weiner, park district official in charge of Soldier Field rentals, declined to comment on the move to cancel, there said that his office is awaiting a report from the committee in charge of the upcoming Pan -American Cames as to whether construction of a jars festival stage might interfere with the condition of the Soldier Field athletic hack.

Majors Take Giant Steps To Bolster Singles $$

Competition, Indie Inroads Spur Victor, Col. Extramural Deals By BOB ROLONTZ

NEW YORK - The bitterly competitive nature of the singles record business and the fact that the indie labels are constantly increasing both in numbers and in

percentage of bits, has prompted major íliskeries to take unusual steps to strengthen their singles. The most unusual steps of all were recently taken by RCA Victor with the pasting of Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore as independent s.&r. producers. Columbia's Mitch Miller only a few weeks ago also surprised the trade via his conver- sations with Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller anent their coming up with occasional material and a. &r. work for various Columbia artists.

The Victor a. &r. deal with Hugo and Luigi is startling both for its audacity and its uniqueness, but it indicates the serious attention that the company is paying to the singles business. Altpo Victor has the king of all the single record sellers in Elvis Presley, it wants to have many other artists on the label with hits.

producing company at RCA Victor

Ram Deals Out -Hurok Hurok

NEW YORK - Buck Ram, the songwriter, manager, record producer and executive, is now on his way to becoming a Sol Hurok type of impresario. He is bringing over a group of 28 Maori In- dians from New Zealand who sing (rock and roll included) and dance descriptive . dances called "Hakis." Ram met them on his recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, where he accompanied the Platters on their down under tour. In addition to the Maori troupe, Ram is also managing a

young Australian rock and roller named Johnny O'Keefe.

Ram's manifold activities these days include songwriting, making records for iris own Antler label,

CHICAGO -Concert-Disc this week announced its entrance into the stereo singles field with a 10- disk release for May.

called Hugo and Luigi Produc- tions. And they have their own promotion staff and clerical help as well. Before they could be lured away from Roulette Records they demanded and received what the boys themselves call "a great deal of money in front." The separate corporation that was set up for the boys at Victor was budgeted, it is called, at close to $300,000 per year for five years. Out of this H. & L. must pay their six promotion men, and their clerical staff as well as their own salaries.

The six promotion men, who cover New York, Boston, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Washington, Pitts- burgh, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis, work only on H. & L. Prod- uct. They do not work on other

Victor records, and Victor promotion men do not work on H. & L. records. The duo has set a release sked of only two records per month, or 24 records a year, as a general policy. Only Hugo and Luigi decide on what product to release and when to release it. They are accountable only to Vic- tor General Manager George Marek. All of the artists on the H. & L. label are new, altho they will sign a well -known artist if he is available and they think there is potential for the teen -age market. They will make albums with any singles artist who comes up with hits.

Cap Offers Special May Discount Plan

NEW YORK - Capitol Rec- ords has formulated a 25 per cent discount plan designed to make it possible for dealers to make more profit than ever on product purchased between April 27 and May 29. Plan applies to both singles and albums. according to Max Callison, vice- president and national sales manager of Capitol Records Distributing Corporation. Termed "Operation 25," plan offers a 25 per cent cash discount to dealers and indie distribs who meet a quota. Not included is the stereo album, "What's New" (see separate story).

Callison outlined the qualifications as follows: 1) Dealers and indie distribs must meet a quota which equals their average monthly purchases of singles and albums during the first three months of 1959. 2) In the event the monthly average is less than similar purchases during May, 1958, the figures of that month will set the quota. 3) Dealers' accounts must be in current status; and payment is te be made in full by June 15.

Callison noted that the segment of a dealer's purchases that earns the o5 per cent discount will be in lieu of the diskery's regular 2 per cent cash discount and will not be included in the total net purchases under the 10 per cent ex- chanEe program. He also noted that Operation 25" is offered to

all dcakrs, syndicate stores, rack jobbers and indie diatribe, provided the latter extend the program to the dealers they serve. As to one- stops, Callison said they will be able to take advantage of the deal only insofar as album product is concerned. One -stops will continue to get existing privileges on singles via Capitol's 100 per cent exchange and 10 per cent discount plane

At the close of business on May 29, "Operation 25" will be with- drawn. Callison said, and added that all dealer statements for May will be held open until that date.

Daniels Wins All 'Moonlight' Rights

NEW YORK - The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in an important decision last week (23) ruled in favor of the Charles M.

In handing down its decision the Appeals Court decided in favor of Daniels Music's contention that the heirs of Ben rights the author had were the Black, co- writer of the tune with rights to renew on his own behalf Charles Daniels, had the right to and assign to Miller if he survived assign their interests in the renewal the 27th year, and the right to of the tune to Daniels.

The case was brought before

The Daniels position on the case was that agreement on the part of the deceased author (Ben Black) who died prior to the 28th year of the original period of copyright did not vest any renewal rights in Miller Music because the only

the trial court by o cross Y Lions for summary judgment. Mil- ler Music and Daniels Music had disputed the ownership of the Ben Black portion of the renewal rights for a long time. Miller Music had signed in 1946 an agreement to acquire the renewal rights of Ben Black and his next of kin (his brothers). -The Daniels firm had acquired the interests of Charles Daniels from the children of Dan- iels, there being no widow.

Ben Black died in 1950, and left a will under which certain of his nephews and neices were made heirs. In 1952 Charles M. Dan- iels entered into an agreement with the heirs under the will of Ben Black, under which they acquired the Ben Black interest in the renewal copyright of "Moonlight and Roses." (When Black died, he left no widow or children.)

Miller Music brought an action against Daniels claiming that it, not Daniels, owned the renewal

ciety's amended consent decree, and Representative Roosevelt is

again getting a bit -restive about the

delay. The congressman confined his impatience to a progress query last week. but something stronger can be expected if natters are not finalized fairly soon.

Justice Department is believed to expect final smoothing of details in a short time, but whether the amended decree will emerge this week or later is anyone's guess.

It is now dose to a bull pear sine negotiations were begun, in June, 1958, in the wake of Chair- man Roosevelt's Small Business Subcommittee hearings on ASCAP membership complaints about the Society's voting distribution, survey, grievance procedures, and lack of records.

erotic voting process in ASCAP. Complaints were heavy against the 1950 decree for allowing the "weighted vote." which permits board members a strong say in elections, distribution rulings. et al.

The Roosevelt Subcommittee report questioned whether the vote, allotted by income ($500 per vote for publishers; $20 for writers). which permitted "concentration of 59.6 per cent of publisher votes in the hands of 12 publisher -board memirers," actually violated the decree's requirement of "democratic administration."

Practices Questioned The subcommittee also ques-

tioned ASCAP adherence to the rulings of its 1950 oonsent decree, which are now presumably under negotiation:

1. The decree requirement thpt written records of dassifiration procedtires and grievance hearings be kept is writing, and be made available to any member on request.

2. That any member may appeal from final determination of his classification by ASCAP committee or board, to an impartial arbiter.

Since ASCAP permits only one appeal bearing per member in any given year, the subcommittee found this in violation of rights of appeal.

3. Decree required.that records be maintained on classification and distribution aCtions of ASCAP committees. Subcommittee found "no verbatim transcript of testimony," and no basis given for decision in "majority of cases;' in examination of board of appeals decisions for a

period of over 5 years. 4. Decree ordered distribution

be made to members on basis which gives primary consideration to performance. as indicated in an "objective" survey. Subcommittee report questioned efficacy of the ASCAP survey system, and the strong weight given seniority over current performance.

5. The 1950 decree requires that general basis of member classification for revenue distribution shall be set forth in writing and made available on request.

Also in this, connection, the report questioned the non-objective basis for board rulings on certain uses of music, like theme songs, which resulted, in 1955, in 24 board members having intetest in 63 per cent of the 608 composi- tions having highest performance ratings.

FLOWER KINGDOM REPORTS

Indies Build in Nippon; Visiting Artists Score

OSAKA, Japan - American artists and indie labels continue to make their appearance here, according to the latest island -wide round -up.

Label - wise, a spokesman said this week that nearly all of the well -known (American) indie labels are now released in Japan. The Victor Company of Japan, for instance, has just completed contracts with 20th -Fox, United Art- ists, Roulette and Montilla. Be- sides the above, Victor currently also has Dirt, Atlantic. Seeco, Vox, Imperial and World Pacific. Inci- dentally, Nippon Victor also has the French Ducretet - Thompson and the Russian New World labels.

King Record Company, of Japan. which has London, Mercury and ABC -Paramount here, has just acquired Vanguard. One spokesman at least. takes a somewhat dim view of the practice of trying to handle many indie labels- espec- ially in this extraordinary narrow island market. Inasmuch as they are handled only by one and same company, the number of records to be marketed monthly under earl, respective label will be extremely limited.

A wide variety of overseas artists have, been in Japan recently on personal appearances. Country and western thrush, Wanda Jack- son, whose "Fujiyama Mama, sold tremendously well here last year has been singing in principal cities with Japanese western - styled bands. One reviewer pointed out that "she is singing in very attractive Japanese kimono and is drawing packed audiences."

Fanions Flamencan guitarist. Carlos Montoya is also here with

his Spanish dancer wife, Trianita. Nippon Victor will record him la its Tokyo studios. Charles Tre- net just completed a one -month concert tour with 10,000 hearing him at his final concert i* Tokyo Municipal Gymnasium. Tho Golden Gate Quartet has bee* here as has the Little Orchestra of New York.

Igor Stravinsky has just arrived in Japan to conduct the NHK Sym- phony in Tokyo and at the Inter- natioal Music Festival in this city. Andres Segovia will also appear at this festival along with the Alma Trio and Maria Legules.

In yet another development, Nippon Columbia has decided to release the original cast "Flower Drum Song" album in May. An observor predicted that "it is quits sure that the songs of Pat Surakt and Miyashi Umeki will cause a great sensation among young people here."

taller. "It's all so insane, from any

standpoint - ethical or monetary. He owes over $3,000,003."

On the opening of the new store, this dealer said: The new place is one block from Korvette's and they use records For traffic- build- ing. They don't have to make money. They can murder him.'

"On the subject of the advertised discounts, he added, "look what this does to prices generally. Sure, some of that stuff is 'cut- outs' but the public doesn't know it. flow can we get full price when he advertises 50 off ?"

Dealer wrath is not directed against Goody as much as it is against his suppliers. Major distributors themselves either have no comment or refer questions relat- ing to the subject to Columbia Credit Manager, George Jay, who heads the Creditors' Committee. Jay's comment ? -"1 have nothing to say."

One dealer remarked that dis- , tributor salesmen report hearing such remarks as "Why should I pay my bills ?" "Why should I support Goody ?' and "We're financing our own destruction."

The smaller creditors are more candid. These indie diskeries freely admit that they are anxious to see Goody recover as quickly as possible. Their stated reasons are: 1) He's the best merchandiser in the business. 2) He stocked everything they produced in depth and moved it, and, 3) Most of them didn't get burned too badly. With one or two outstanding exceptions, they didn't get stuck for more than $5,000 each. They hope for and fully expect Goody to get ow of Chap- ter 11 by September.

Not So Optimistic Goody's dealer competition isn't

quite so optimistic about his fu-

tare. One dealer pointed out that he's losing his clientele.

"He can't buy new releases and stereo in the quantities he needs," one dealer pointed out, "and his inventory is weak. He needs repeat business. This could ruin him."

No one is more aware of this situation than Goody himself. Ile is allowed to bur new merchandise only up to 20 per cent of Isis

sales. Recently, he ran out of Giel- gud's "Ages of Mass," "Red Head" and the stereo version of "Fair Lady." He has instructed Isis sales clerks to keep a record of sales he couldn't fill and he estimated he's losing abut 10 per cent of sales not to mention repeat customers,

"We could have sold 2.500 to 3,000 addition 'Ages of Man,' if we could have gotten them," says Goody's manager, Abnet Levin.

The situation puts the major distributors over a barrel. 1n order to recover anything, they have to keep him in business. If they want to keep him in business, they have to make concessions to him.

But then, there are the other dealers in town who make no bones about how they feel.

"We've learned tvho our competitors really are," said a more vocal dealer, one of the best known in mid -town New York. "It's the distributor. lie's been playing both ends against the middle and we're laying plans to take care of him. Dealers are stupid to support the local distributor. We bigger dealers are buying out of town and we're buyuíig cheaper. And we advise any dealer who has the cash to do the same. The conservative dealer feels like he's had his throat cut."

And that's the seas- the situation stands at present.

TO CLOCK HIT NEW YORK - RCA Vic-

tor and Clock Records have negotiated a deal whereby Victor acquires EP distribution rights to the "Happy Or- gan," by Dave (Baby) Cortez, nosy riding a big single hit on Clock Records. Deal was negotiated by Steve Sholes, RCA Victor pop a. &r, chief, and Wally Moody, president of Clock. The Victor EP will also include the side of "Happy Organ,' "Love Love Me as I Love You, plus two tunes recorded for the EP. Clock will continue to issue Cortez on singles.

Victor packages using Cor- tez will carry a legend that the disk is released by arrangement with Clock Rec- ords.

Soria Abroad For Disk, Pub Conferences

NEW YORK - Dario Soria left for Paris last week (1) for a three -week business trip. He will confer with Sir Thomas Beechatn in London and with Herbert von Karajan in Milan on behalf of the Soria -RCA Victor series which will be launched in September. In Geneva, Paris and Italy, Soria will make plats for printing and packaging some of the special albums in the series.

While in Milan he will meet with the head of the publishing firm of G. Ricordi, for which Soria lias been acting as special consultant for the past six months.

Experts Cue Bars Forum on License, Copyr't Problems

NEW YORK - At a forum meeting of the Federal Bar Asso- ciation held last week (27), Profes- sor Walter Derenberg, Alan Lat- man and George Schiffer spoke on "Legal Aspects of Character Li- censing." Schiffer, of Orenstein, Arrow and Schiffer, spoke of the problems of realizing merchandising potential of literary characters, particularly those derived from musical works. He spoke about li- censing the Three Chipmunks (Theodore, Aisle and Simon), and emphasized that a successful campaign should be planned before the basic property is marketed. He noted that a good character can open up such fields, of exploitation as comic books, comic strips, children's books, etc. The Chipmunks have been licensed for use on 30 different products.

Latinan, executive secretary of the National Committee for Effec- tive Design Legislation, spoke on the design aspects of merchandising and the problems of industrial designers. He pointed out that design patents are too restricted to provide adequate protection and

The label will also release its first spoken word, "Cod's Trom- bones," in the near future. "God's Trombones" is a collection of poems by James Weldon Johnson. Jazz drummer Charlie Persip appears in the recording. Scott presented "Cod's Trombones" in concert at New York's Town Hall last week.

Professor Derenberg, of New York University and the firm of Alexander, Maltitz, Dereberg and Sullivan, stressed the greater avail - bility of trade -mark protection since 1946 but stressed pitfalls concerning the licensor. He also spoke on peculiarities of foreign law as in Switzerland and Canada. These countries do not have our "service mark" concept and thus the naine of a character can be appropriated by third parties. The forum was the last in the current series sponsored by the Federal Bar Associa- tion's Copyright Committee, of which MCA attorney Paul Sher- man is chairman.

execute a will leaving his renewal rights to the heirs of his estate. Daniels also claimed that because Black did not suvive the 27th year and because he did not leave his renewal rights to Miller, the Dan- iels' rights which came by the executor and the heirs under the will were paramount; and consti- tuted the only existing rights to the Black interest in the Moon- light and Roses" renewal copyright.

The Miller position was that the executor can take only what the testator gives him and that because the rights stem from the testator, the executor was bound by the agreement of the testator (Ben Black) with Miller Music.

Judge Bryon of the lower court wrote an opinion that Miller had purchased from Ben Black only his osen expectancy in the renewal copyright which was an interest contingent upon Black surviving the 27th year and appropriate reg-

Judge Bryan then held that the executor who renewed the copyright during the 28th year o f the original period took title to the Ben Black renewal interst which was assigned to the heirs under the will, which heirs assigned it to Daniels Music, and thus Dan- iels was the owner of the Ben Black renewal interest in the copyright.

Maintaining close jockey and distributor contacts is also a means of staying on top of records from the many new labels.

One of the dealers contacted suggested that in addition to the problems imposed upon the dealer by the above -mentioned factors, many dealers alsn contribute to their own difficulties. With the market constantly expanding in all areas, the dealer has to expand his own operations to properly cope with a situation which demands increasing alertness. Another suggested that the dealer must meet hit distribs half way. Rather than wait for distribs to make him aware of the latest hot records, it is up to the dealer to seek out information about records that are breaking.

is reliably reported, in one or two aides (as yat unreleased) that the boys have had a hand in. Whether an occasional disk by Lieber and Stoner will make an appreciable dent in the teen -age market re- mains to be seen. Meanwhile, the diskery has come up with hot singles by Johnny Horton and Billy Storm.

Capitol Records has let it be known that it is interested in all the outside masters it can lay its hands on. A few weeks ago, the firm let it be known that it would process all masters received for consideration within a few days, a real speeding rep for the firm.

A while back it was being bruited about that the major record firms were sitting back resting on the club business and album business and not caring too much about the singles market. The new determination with which the majors are approaching the singles field indicates that this is no longer true -in case it ever was.

and operating costs. If the creditors preferred not to do this, Goody said that other outside money was waiting for the opportmnty to come in on the deal.

This statement met with something approaching consternation and incredulity. When the first shock wave had passed, it seas decided to take the matter up again at another meeting Thursday (7). In the meantime, niece the lease on the store was viewed as an asset, it was decided to okay a payment of about $5,000 to the contractor on the job. It was also pointed out that the new store was expected to gross about $3,- 000,000 a year.

TV REVIEWS

St. Louis Memorable 2 -Hour Seg Abottt half way thru the TV version of "Meet Me in St. Louis"

(CBS -TV Network, April 26, 9 -11 p.m., EST) the charm and tenderness of Sally Benson's story of the trials and tribulations of an American family of an earlier era took hold. And once it did, the earlier miscues and nervousness were forgotten and the TV version of the memorable filmusical turned into one of the best and most enjoyable TV shows this year. Somehow the troubles of the Smith family, minor tho they were, became important, and the interpolation of extra songs into the .production (as against the movie) didn't seem wrong. The show was presented with taste and dignity, and for this producer David Susskind rdtes a bow.

On the whole the male contingent oame off better than the female, with Tab Hunter surprisingly good as the boy next door. Walter Pidgeon properly stem and yet understanding as the father, and Ed Wynn, the over -sentimentalized, creating a poign- ant grandfather. Of the ladies, Jane Powell turned in the most effective performance. Tho she was an old 16, her singing was excellent, and by the end of the two hours she made her role believable. Little Patty Duke, as Tootie, the sub -teen terror, was moving in more than one scene. Jeanne Craine, Myrna Loy and Reta Shaw were more than capable, tho Miss Loy seemed anxious about many of her earlier scenes, and there was hardly ever a cook with the quality of Miss Shaw.

The musical numbers added much to the show, both for the way they were handled as well as for the authentic quality of the performances. The dancing was good, tho the style was Agnes De Mille circa 1944 rather than St. Louis, 1903. The sets, however, were of that earlier era. All in all it was a memorable two hours of TV. Bob Rolontz.

Too Many Vocals Mar Kelly Show The "Gene Kelly Show" had its high moments. These, of

course, were when the fleet artist was dancing, either alone or with his charming partners for the evening. Unfortunately, much of the program was devoted to vocal selections, which are not Kelly's forte.

Except for brief stints of "Les Girls" and a specialty number, the three European ballerinas, Claude Bessy of France; Judith Dorneys of Germany, and Cerd'Andersson of Sweden had little to do.

High point of the show was a spoof ballet, "Peter Gatt," a dance parody of "Peter Gunn" with music by Henry Mancini. Mr. Kelly's duets with five -year -old Cherylene Lee and Liza Afinelli, Judy Garland's 13- year -old daughter, were charming.

Kelly's dance interpretation to a poem written and recited by Carl Sandburg did not quite come off. Nelson Riddle's "Coffee - House Ballet" provided the dancer and the ensemble with a strong piece of material, and Kelly's dance duet with himself was clever.

Had there been more emphasis on dancing, rather than devoting a good portion of the hour to vocal numbers, the show might have shaped into one of the most entertaining this season,

Howard Cook.

Chevy Country Show Roy Rogers and Dale Evans helmed the second Chevy

Country and Western show of this season on NBC -TV, Sunday (26) for generally entertaining results. Indeed, this outing had a considerably more countryish tang than its predecessor.

Not that the Kingston Trip, George Gobel and Betty Johnson can be considered in the category of rural talent. Lobel, however, working frequently with cousin Minnie Pearl, contributed to the flow of the show with clever spots, particularly a scene in a supermarket which wound up as a square dance seg of shoppers wheeling their carts up and down the aisles. The Kingston group, with several finely staged bits, proved again they are one of the top new acts.

Vocally, the strongest country atmosphere was generated by such artisans as the Everly Brothers, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash. Rogers chanted the sacred "Peace in the Valley," to good effect. Betty Johnson was pleasant enough in her "Buttons and Bows," tho the producers might have turned a nice trick for stronger country effects by a reunion of Miss Johnson with the great sacred group, the Johnson Family Singers. The windup featured "four minutes of 60 million records,"

The stations audience *meal appears to be largely the result of its policy of gis'ing a hard time to the advertisers who are now rushing in. Owner -manager Bernard Jacobs makes the unusual claim that he has refused more advertising than he has accepted. Record- ed commereials are barred. All messages must be read "in a con- versational tone" by a staff an- nouncer. Copy must be shorn of intrusive phrases. Phone numbers. for example, may not be repeated.

In 1957, kite station won the DuPont award for offering the

most distinguished creative public service, competing against all AM and FM stations. Last veal- it copped the Edison award .for the best service to youth.

Seven years ago, Jacobs' un- orthodox method of setting audience above advertiser, almost put him out of business. He had to broadcast an appeal for funds directly from listeners. Some $17,000 was collected. This was such an eye -opener that a few advertisers ventured a dabble in the medium, some of them enjoying spectacular responses, notably Tatman Savings. Today the station's time rate of $150 an hour and 527 a spot is the highest FM rate in the nation.

NIGHT CLUB REVIEW

Jane Morgan a Winner at Plaza There's a lot of excitement on the floor of the Persian Room

of the Hotel Plaza in New York these days and it's created by a statuesque, attractive blonde who goes under the name of Jane Morgan. In spite of the wistfulness of her record hits like "Fasci- nation," the thrush proved, on the night caught (28), that she has the pipes to put over any type of song and the magnetic kind of act to capture any audience.

Miss Morgans act consists of three production numbers plus a lot of special material that quickly shifts the mood for each routine. Her first is a Paris tribute, consisting of a medley of wellknown French tunes, all stung together by a tune called "Stay Out of Paris," and effectively staged via all five fiddlers of the Ted Straeter ork coming on the floor with her. She also pass homage to the late lyricist Mack Gordon, with talk -sing renditions of many of his best known songs. For her final routine she does a quick change of costume to return to the floor as Lillian Russell and sing the tunes that were favorites at the turn of the century, helped by pianist Ernest Bragg, two singers and the elk.

Attractively attired, radiating excitement with even }' song and every movement, and in great voice, the thrush put on a performance that had the audience applauding constantly. Little need to comment on Miss Morgan's figure, it's all there. And there's little doubt she'll rack up solid figures at this class New York spot.

Granco Set For Stereo FM Output

NEW YORK -- Granco Prod- ucts is going all -out for the Crosby multiplexing system. The firm will make it possible for purchasers of FM sets to receive multiplex stereo via a $20.00 adaptor. In addition, buyers of new sets will get folly equipped stereo sets at no extra cost.

To effect the changes, Graneo and Crosby have entered a licens- ing arrangement. Graneo Presi- dent, Henry Vogel, maintains that the public is but a step away from high fidelity broadcuting. The last step is the approval by the FCC of a particular system of FM multiplexing. Graneo thinks it will be Crosby's.

NEW YORK - ALPHA- sonic, the Osseo, Minn. electronics Finn, has a new idea in loudspeakers. In a round, drum -shaped end table schielt is actually a speaker enclosure, they have mounted an eight -inch speaker in the bottom of the "drum" and a four -inch hveetes in the top.

Result of this arrangement, says the firm, is what they call "sur- round sound." The listener has no consciousness of speaker place. ment.

The end -table cabinets themselves are of "heavy wood" con - struction with a Formica lamina- tion. Available in walnut, mahogany, or blonde finish, they are tagged at $39.95. Impedente of system is eight ohms.

Audio Feedback By RALPH FREAS

ABOUT TAPE CARTRIDGES

Over a year ago, RCA Victor announced the imminent debut of a tape cartridge player. An announcement like this, particularly from a giant electronics firm with a big stake in

the record business and with some of the biggest names in

the entertainment world tied to recording contracts, is news. The event was naturally widely reported. The arrival of this new home entertainment device was looked upon as having strong effects upon the home entertainment scene. What would It mean to the dealer? What would it mean to the tape and disk industries? These are some of the questions responsible reporters and editors asked themselves. They not only asked the questions, they attempted answers - and in

print. That cartridge player still hasn't made an appear-

ance. Its debut is still imminent (The Billboard, April 27). The trade press is still reporting everything it

can find out about the progress of the machine from drawing board to assembly line to market,

WHO'S CONFUSED? Subsequent to the RCA announcement, three firms re-

ported that they would follow the RCA lead with similar cartridge players. The three firms are Ampex, Pentron and Motorola. They showed pilot models of these machines as

long as nine months ago. Phil Gundy of Ampex painted a glowing picture of tape's future and the cartridge player at a

meeting of the Magnetic Recording Industry Association (MRiA) meeting last May. All of these happenings were duly reported in the trade press. RCA Victor issued catalog of

tape cartridge selections with specific titles, playing times and prices last July. These were reported.

Nosy, in the May issue of magazine that ad- dresses itself to tape recorder enthusiasts, "stories published in the trade press" are given as the specific reason for "confusion in the tape recorder industry." And, by publishing these stories, the trade press is

accused of sabotaging its dealer- readers.

DEALERS, TOO, AT FAULT The trade press, thank heaven, doesn't have to bear all

the blame for causing confusion in the tape industry, "Some dealers," according to the tape magazine, are also at fault for mistakenly thinking that stereo tape Wean "through" when the stereo disk appeared.

The magazine has point there. Stereo tape isn't thru and, in the opinion of Billboard staffers, has

long and more prosperous future ahead. There are darned few people reporting on the home music scene who don't agree that music on tape is superior in quality and fidelity to its disk counterpart.

But, really was it a mistake for dealers to put their dollars behind stereo disks, sehen, in a short, six -month period last year, every disk and phono firm went into stereo with a passion. Not only did they leap into it but they put promotional dollars - hundreds of thousands of them - behind the stereo disk. A dealer would be foolish indeed not to cash in on that heavy-- weight type of promotion.

REALISTIC POSITION The Billboard took the position more than year

ago that dealers had, in tape recorders, versatile Instrument to sell. It has hundreds of uses in the home and in business and industry-. Every use is a selling point dealers can use in approaching a prospect. Re- production of music is only one use. How important it is depends upon the prospect. That was our position a year ago and it is still our

position. We believe dealers cata realize a large percentage of thir annual volume in selling tape recorders and we try to show them how thru "how- to- do -it" features and stories of successful tape recorder merchandising. Such a story was "Shuts Set Up Sales for Syracuse Dealer" which appeared in last week's issue. If you didn't read it, go back to it. It has some interesting and worth -while ideas. AND FINALLY

The tape magazine that indicts the trade press as cause of couúusion also reports that 450,000 tape

recorders were sold last year. And sales of 750,000 re anticipated for the year ahead. Hurrah! Who's

confused - the trade press, the tape recorder industry, or the publication that save the industry has been confused?

On second thought, that sounds a little smart -alecks'. There's no questions that the recorded tape industry took 'a beating last year. We've reported that too. The stereo disk made tremendous strides and promotion -wise it seas hard, if not impossible to heat. The RCA cartridge player announcement didn't help the situations any.

But to shove the blame for this on the trade press Is totally unfair. it could be interpreted as a sign of panic and weakness - not for any Individual, but for en industry as a whole. And closing the doors of MRIA meetings to the trade press, as they have recently been closed, doesn't better the situation.

POSITIVE APPROACH A far more positive approach, It seems to us, Is that

recently taken by V -M and Ampex with their vigorous promotions on the pleasure and fun In owning a tape recorder. We also applaud the move toward miniaturization and greater portability - factors that lead to increased tales. Steelman s '"I'rasitape" and the new Webcor models are examples of this.

Imagination, enthusiasm for the product, sales- manship, product improvement - these are some of the things that will push the tape recorder Industry

or by particular labels such as Lon- don and Westminster. Folk and carman; and Latin American music hate a long counter directly beneath the wide expanse of plate- glass frontage. Popular albums of musicals and standards stun the eye in a mural of album covers along the side wall.

In the two aisles of browser boxes is a "Stereo Center," across from the service counter. Here is a handy bank of hit singles, a nee-

_ dle microscope. and the almost continuously demanding phone. Downstairs, still in process of construction are the two stereo rooms, with comfortable settees, and air conditioning.

Proprietor Dan Danziger witi- 1 mates he carries about 100.000

LP's, and wishes his stock were smaller. The record output is massive, but he intends to keep up with competition. Like most dealers, he wishes the manufacturers would not turn out such a baffling amount of duplication.

Also, Danziger pleads with disk - eries to "give us identifying numbers on tine front of the package. It means faster service both by clerks and customers who like to got their own records. The browser box loses some service- ability when the customer has to check backs of albums to find a number. today, especially, with the record field so complex and voluminous, the numbers should be easily seen."

What's Inside Another plea from Danziger is

for titles that tell what's inside. A customer with literally hundreds of choices in front of him. looks at something called "Starlight Con- cert' and hasn't tie faintest idea of what it contains. "Dealers wish the manufacturers would not mis- lead the public with fancy titles.

11.'"` Every album title should have definite. indication of what's inside. Too many customers, faced with

vague album title, will pass it up."

There are always a number of clerks around to help when needed. Danzgger help has to know music thoroly, and be able to talk it with the c- istomers. The sell is strictly "soft." and discreet. Part of the operation is a fast mail -order service.

Dastziger has found laze a "growing business," even with con- servatives. "The ones who buy the classics often pick up a little jazz -it's lively, a tonic.'

The store is also planning a children's corner, with special lose

N` browser boxes where the small &s- oars select their own disks, and a sales counter to make it complete.

Bell Rumored Ready on RCA Type Player

COLUMBUS, 0.-Though the rumor could not be confirmed, it WAS reliably reported that Bell Sound Systems ]here would perhaps be the first or second firm to actually market an RCA -Victor type stereo tape cartridge playback deck. RCA -Victor is reported right on the brink of delivery of its own magazine -type deck (The Billboard April 27).

Bell, it's known, will show an extensive line of components and the reported tape machine, to its dirtributon during the Parts Show at the Conrad Hilton, Chicago, May 19.

ziger says, Labels continue to increase, too. The store stocks everything put out by the majors, but Danziger limits himself to about 10 per cent of the output of the other 70 or 80 labels carried.

Forging Ahead Tite new store is having the us-

ual up -hill stntggle against dis- counters and supermarket rack salers, Danziger said, but "so far, we've managed to keep our prices down to meet our competitors."

Looking ahead, if plans of Washington realtor Cali materi- alize, tine Disc Shop locale will be a -central part of "Crystal City" -a center akin to New York's Ra- dio City. When a reality, the Disc Shop still have demonstrated the best ways for the small business- man to get into important shopping centers -a problem now getting attention from the Senate Small Business Committee.

The answer seems to be to get there firstes' with the mosses - and don't forget the glamor.

Unit Shown NEW YORK - Clevite

"Walco" is introducing a stereo disk demonstrator for counter use. The unit uses "high fidelity" headphones and is expected by the manufacturer to be a boon to the small disk shop that hasn't been able to demonstrate stereo properly.

The firm states that the headphones are able to deliver a response of from 50 to 13,000 cps. Other components are four -speed

Garrard player with Electro -Volpe on Sonotone stereo cartridge and a Clevite "1Valco" cartridge. The Clevite "Bntsh" headphones also serve to out off any distracting noises in the store situation,

The changer provides two sets of stereo outputs so a demo can be made to two persons at a time. Of course, monphonio disks can also be played for purposes of comparison.

Tim headphone demonstrator is tagged at 599.50. Extra head - phones cost 822.00.

'Lonely for You' Hits for Stites

Cary Stites was born In Denver on July 23, 1940. He began his entertainment career as an aura teur magician at 13, turning professional the next year. He started singing at 14, when confined to bed by a rheumatic fever attack.

St:tea then taught himself guitar, and started a band, the Satel- lites, which he has kept to date. It is with this same group that he waxed the climbing "Lonely for You," on the Carlton label.

The artist has a passion for cres- tom cars, and owns two. One is a 1955 Mercury, on which he's been working almost two years. The other is a 1947 Ford, factory stock on the outside, but with custom interior and a completely chromed 1952 Oldsmobile engine. The latter job has won over a dozen trophies.

ON THE BEAT By REN GREVATT

Its no secret that a large segment of the record business has vacated the big city areas. The hits can cosue from virtually anywhere today, Including such a relatively remote area as Jackson, Miss. Down in Jackson, an amiable little guy named Johnny Vincent is swinging these days with the Ace label. But things have not always been so swinging for Vincent.

"I've always been hipped on the record business," says Vincent. "Down in Jackson I would make a record now and then at a small local studio. I mean it was small. They had one mike and one -tape machine that had only the seven and a half speed. No professional stuff at all- There was a piano player there, Huey Smith. ltuey would play for the singers on the recording dates but he wanted to make a record himself. I didn't think he had a chance but we finally made one. It was called " Rotkin' Pneumonia."

"At the time I was sort of operating out of my house and my pocket. Very little funds were available, if you know what I mean. We had our records pressed by Plastic products up in Memphis. They had a truck which would go out with the records. So I went up to Memphis and hitch -hiked a ride on that truck up to the MOA convention in Chicago. We kicked the record off up there and we did great with it after that.

"The next record lluey made was "Don't You J Know It." We figured after one big hit the second would be a nautral but all of a sudden we were sitting with 80,000 pressings in Memphis and man, I thought I was going to have to eat them. Finally Dick Clark got hold of the record and started playing it. That's what did it. Ile broke it for sus:-Theis one of the big record companies that was always buying masters offered $25,000 for it but we wanted to st in the record business so we held on to it.

"Then we found another kid down in Jackson. That was 11;

Jimmy Clanton and he has really done a)job for us and for himself. lie's only 19 and he has already made his first picture, "Go, Johnny, Co" with Alan Freed. Now the picture companies are all after him. SVe've had good luck with our artists. Frankie Ford is doing siell with "Sea Cruise," and both he and Jimmy have been signed by CAC for personal appearances.

"Vie'se got no more than half a dozen artists now and we like it that way. 1 believe in turning out a few records that are good and commercial and in knocking myself out promoting them. You can't spread yourself tea thin in this business or you wind up getting nothing off the ground. We also believe in trying to test a record fora reaction before we bring it out.

"New Orleans is a red hot record town. Down there they talk records 24 hours a day. I have an interest in a couple of distribu- torships there -Records Sales and United Records. We test thru them and we find it's a great help. If the record gets a reaction in New Orleans, it's probably going to move well all over, we find.

"On albums, we're going very slowly. We've got one by Jimmy Clanton on the songs he does in his picture. And we hase one coming up by Huey Smith. But well come out with them one at a time. And well operate the album program just the way we do with singles. A few releases only. Make sure it's a good product and work hard to put it over. Forget the deals. You never need deals to sell a good product. Pretty soon, well be coming out with our first girl singer. We're calling her Miss Ace, after our la Her real name is Carol Lamb. You'll be hearing about and I hope you'll be hearing absout Ace, too. We intend to keep swinging, man." The disk scene appears to be turning back to what has beech

called the "apparel" kick. A year or so ago, "Short Shorts" started a surge in this direction. Then after a considerable dormant spell Dodie Stevens came up with a smash hit in "Pink Shoelaces. Just last week three additional disks of this category were noted by The Billboard reviewing staff.

Tony Butala, on the Epic label, had a story about "Long Black Stockings," a rather intriguing title which discussed among other things, the garb of a teen -aged cutio as she "wiggled" her sway down to the corner drugstore. On King records, an effort by Trini Lopez, called "Here Comes Sally," was noted. This song was all about the "girl who wears tight slacks," Finally, Gordon Young, a new artist on Felsted, turned in a side with the title, "File Her Skirt." In this, Young discussed "the ways she rolls her eyes and fills her skirt." ]'here's no telling what we can expect next but it appears that the cleffers may have tapped an interesting new vein of song material. Record hops, long part of the life blood of this single record

business of ours, apparently are bigger and better than ever. Tom Clay of WJBK, Detriot, may be the holder of a new record with a turnout of more than 6,300 teen -agers in a recent hop in the Motor City. In attendance were Al Martino and such groups as the impalas, the Royaltones, the Imperials and the Intruders. Detroit's Miss Teen Queen was crowned by Governor G. Mennen Williams. National Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis was the bene- ficiary of the affair. National Teen Clubs was the promoter of the event.

Brook Benton, not content to make hit disks himself, is also a cleffer, as is the case, of course, with many artists in the country and r. &b. fields. Benton 's latest, for Larry Scher on Mercury, is titled, "Ill Meet Van After Church Nest Sunday."... Carlton's newest find, Gary Stites, drew 1,100 pieces of mail, after a recent performance on the Rate the Records Show on WNTA, New York. According to the Carlton people, 339 Cary Stites fan clubs are now in operation.... Berklee School of Music in Boston, has released another of it's "Jazz in the Classroom" series. Cur- rent edition is S -olume 2, with a third reported on the slay.

THE BILLBOARD

SPOTLIGHT WINNERS OF THE WEEK

The following new packages, re- , iessed daring 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 from dealers.

LOOK TO YOUR HEART Frank Sinatra -Capitol W 1164

The tunes in Sinatra's latest sure -fire album are a collection of souse of his past disk clicks.. Ballads and sw ingers are included. Sales prospects, of course, are the highest. Good cover photo of the artist is a natural display item. Sound is excellent. Selections include "Same Old Saturday Night," "The Impatient Years" and "Look to Your Heart."

PORGY AND BESS (2 -12 ") Ella Fitzgerald & Louie Armatroug -Verve MG V 4011 -2

Here's a set that seems certain to figure highly among the several recent recordings of the Gershwin classic. Vocals by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong are just about perfect. especially Miss Fitzgerald's sensitise reading of "Summertime." Russ Garcia 's tasteful orb settings capture to fullest extent the brilliance of the wonderful score. His overture serves as a fine introduction to the set. The package is

handsomely bound with an attractive cover. Liner notes are interesting and readable. "l'op potential.

Pop EP Albums

SOME LIKE IT HOT'. Marilyn Monroe- United Artists UAE 10005

Miss Monroe is heard on three tunes that she warbles in her current pic. The title tune is also added to fill out the EP. She thrushes thà tunes in sexy fashion with a fine ork assist. It's an excellent programming item, and with the reviews the film has gotten, it should prove a brisk seller. '

Jazz Albums

BASIE ONE MORE TIME Count Basie Ork- Roulette R 52024

Here's a new Basie album that should make Buie fans jump for joy. Every time and every arrangement breathes a fresh, new unhackneved Basi and band, retaining die swing and drive of the Basie crew lrut with a more subtle feel than before. The tunes include both new tunes and oldies by Jones including "For Lena and Lennie," "Bat Race," "Quince," "The Big Walk" and " Muttrick." The recording is excellent, too.

Jazz Special Merit Albums

DIZ 'N' BIRD IN CONCERT Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker -Roost LP 2234

For collectors and buffs, in general, this set should be of interest. The

two who contributed so much to modern jazz are heard in a collection

of sides during the late 1940's and early 1950's. Parker's great tone

and some of Gillespiés best writing are featured. Sound is more than

adequate. "A Night in Tunisia," "Grooviú High" and "School Days" are included. ,

Classical Albums

MELODY The Capitol Symphony Orch. (Dragon) - Capitol SP 8476 STEREO & MONAURAL

The sure-fire sales appeal of Carmen Dragon's name makes this package a potent item. As the title indicates, the album spotlights lush instrumental symphonic arrangements of highly melodic standards -" Liebe - straum," "Beautiful Dreamer," "Theme From the New World Sym- phony," etc.

RAVEL: BOLERO, LA VALSE, PAVANE OUR UNE INFANTE DUFUNTE

Pittsburgh Symphony Orch. (Steinberg) - Capitol SP 8475

STEREO & MONAURAL These are perhaps Ravel's most popular and most recorded works, but the Steinberg Approach lends new vigor and warmth. The "Bolero" is interpreted with mounting tension to the brilliant climax. The lovely "La Valse" is briskly and brightly presented, and the haunting "Pavane" is performed with poignance and grace. Excellent sound Ind fine cover painting are additional lures.

PROKOFIEV: PETER & THE WOLF; HAYDN: TOY SYMPHONY

Peter Ustinov, Narrator With the Philharmonica Orch. (Von Karaján) -Angel 35638 STEREO & MONAURAL

Excellent narration by well -known Broadway actor- playwright Ustinov and fine musical performances make this package a strong sales item. There are many other versions of the charming Prokofiev work available, but this one has sufficient appeal to attract sizable sales. Delight. ful cover.

BRAHMS: SONATAS FOR VIOLA & PIANO William Primrose, Viola, & Rudolph Firkusny, Piano -Capitol P 8478

The Brahms sonatas written originally for clarinet and piano, were also designated by the composer for viola and piano as well. This recording, featuring William Primrose on viola and Rudolph Firkusny on piano, indicates that the two sonatas are as lovely when played on viola as on clarinet. The performances are excellent and the recording is fine, too.

ALBUM COVER OF THE WEEK

-Classical Special Merit Albums

LENNIE HAYTON INTRODUCES THE SCANDINAVIAN SUITE NO. 1 COMPOSED BY GENE DI NOVI

Roulette R 25065 The programmatic sketches are scored for strings, reed choir, piano and percussion. It's romantic in feeling with some jazz overtones. The melodic work is descriptive, musically, of various scenes and moods of the city of Stockholm and of that city during various seasons. Prime appeal will be to modern devotees, but the serious and competent work can create general interest. It's certainly worthy of exposure and consideration.

Solo Instrumental Albums

BEETHOVEN: PIANO SONATAS Myra Hess, Piano -Angel 35705

In the E Major Op. 109 and the A Flat Major Op. 110 sonatas, the grand dame of the piano world demonstrates once again that there are few who can compete with her energetic command of Beethoven's brisker passages. Both works have been recorded frequently, and there is much competition from pianists of various schools. However, Dame Myra 's large personal following will help disk move.

- Spoken Word EP Albums

ORSON WELLES IN THE COURT ROOM SCENE FROM COMPULSION

20th Fox FEP 101 Orson Welles reads the moving, dramatic court -room speech delivered by the famous criminal lawyer Clarence Darrow in defense of the young murderers Leopold and Loeb. It's a brilliant tour -de -force for Welles and should provide an exciting model for young thespian students. Also should appeal to movie fans. An interesting off -beat package which should be a sales sleeper in its specialized market.

BEST CUSTOMERS with advertising in America's

strongest music magazine

HIGH FIDELITY'S influence as a record -buying force is well known. That's why most aggressive and promotion- minded record manufacturers make it a special point to include High Fidelity as a regular and consistent part of their consumer advertising program. They know that HIGH FIDELITY readers are among the most active, ardent record buyers in the world. For example: based on latest documented readership data, the typical HIGH FIDELITY reader will buy 66 times more LP's than the average American adult. And, all in all, HIGH FIDELITY'S basic audience will be responsible within the next 12 months for the purchase of almost 8,500,000 LP's valued at close to $23,000,000!

That's just about $3,000 worth of sales for every retail record store In the U. S. and, incidentally, a mighty good reason why it pays dealers to stock the records featured by these labels in their HIGH FIDELITY advertising.

HIGH FIDELITY MAGAZINE HELPS

In recent personal -interview suney (Jul>, 1955) conducted among record stores, 55.9' of the dealers said that their customers actually mentioned and referred to consumer magazino advertising In making purchases ... and dealers chose HIGH FIDELITY advertising by 5 to I over the next magazine in the field for doing the best job of influencing their customers to buy records!

"HIGH FIDELITY renders a service of Incomparable value ..." says one record buyer (an owner of over 2,000 LP's).

HIGH FIDELITY'S reader files contain scrores of unsolicited letters that point up, over end over again, Its unmatched consumer record - buying influence. Like the reader quoted above, many rely solely on HIGH FIDELITY for their guidance in making record purchases. Here are Just a few additional quotes taken directly from reader letters:... "a wonderful magazine for a person building a record library" ... "best all -around publication of Its kind on the market'

"provides excellent guidance in the most advantageous purchase of records and components" ... and many, many more ... all em- phasizing the kind of a pre -selling job manufacturers are doing when they advertise regularly in HIGH FIDELITY.

'Obviously. to be a successful deejay, a man

must have talent, a flair for showmanship

and the right tools for the job. One of my

best tools is that weekly copy of Billboard. In order to talk intelligently about records

and the artists. I have to know all about what

Is happening in the business. In a highly com-

petitive market like Cleveland it's imperative that I be aware of new records and changing

trends before my competition does. That's

why I read my copy of Billboard thoroughly

the very day I get it and not wait till,the end

of the week to skim through it. As a record-

ing artist as well as a deejay, I am doubly

aware of the importance of a favorable review

of a record in Billboard. I find the reviews

to be of inestimable help in finding the good

records from the average of 125 new records

I receive each week. To sum it up. I don't think I could do my job as well without the

information that Billboard brings me every

week."

Pre -Date Statute Near Law in S. C.

COLUMBIA, S. C. - South Carolina's pre-date bill has been passed by the House of Repre- sentatives and received one of the necessary three readings in the State Senate. The Legislature ad- journs next week and chances are good that the bill will have been approved and sent to Gov. Ernest F. Hollings for his signature.

\While statewide in nature, the bill has specific application to Charleston County, the only one in which there has been controversy between fair groups. It would require the Commissioner of Agriculture to issue a fair license, which would protect its owner from competition of any carnival, fair or circus for the 30 days prior to the licensed fair.

ARENAS & AUDITORIUMS

New Canadian Showplaces Take Construction Spotlite

By TOM PARKINSON

CANADA, ALWAYS A fertile field for arenas and attractions, is particularly active currently in regard to new buildings. Vancouver Is preparing to open its elaborate new facilities on

July 5. If the queen gives her consent, Vancouver Civic Auditorium will be called the Royal Elizabeth Theater, and the list of attractions that has been booked for the 1959 -1980 season reads like royalty of show business.

It includes "My Fair Lady," conductors Herbert Von Karajan and Walter Susskind, soprano Elizabeth Schwatzkopf and the Japanese Takarazuka Dance Theater, all coming shortly after the opening.

Later in the season Vancouver will have Vincent Price in "Three American Voices "; the North American premier of the Israeli Dance Theater, the "Gay '90's Revue' with Patricia Morrison, Obemkirchen Children's Choir; National Ballet of Finland, Russian cellist Rostropovich, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; "Voyage to the Moon," presented by the Boston Opera Company; Vienna Boys Choir, Jose Greco, pianists Eden and Tamir, and Royal Festival Company of Norway.

More to come to Vancouver are Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis, Danny Kaye, Eddie Fisher, the Moiseyev Dance Company, African Ballet Company, boat shows, auto shows, fashion shows and many local and Canadian events.

Manager John Panrucker's building is air conditioned and includes an elaborate and large stage. Moreover, during the construction, the floors, walls and ceilings were given acoustical treatment that includes adjustments which will permit the "tuning of the building to acoustical perfection without any reconstruction work."

MEANWHILE, AT Moose Jaw, Sask., a new design for arenas is being advanced by architect Joseph Pettick and engineer J. L. Miller. Cost of the structure is said to be 70 per cent of conventional buildings of the same size. This one is 192 by 214 feet and is to seat 4,000. '

Key to the plan is a roof that is suspended by cables, eliminat- ing interior supports. Walls are comprised of a series of concrete A- frames. Two -inch steel cables span the 192 -foot width at eight - foot intervals. The walls are 30 feet high, but at the center of the building the ceiling is only 12 feet high, because of the natural curve in the suspended cables. Roofing consists of steel decking suspended between the cables, with a layer of concrete ballast poured over it. Bonded roofing and insulation are added. The dished shape of the roof will allow for unimpeded vision and for a 50 per cent savings in heating costs, according to the backers.

ACROSS THE DOMINION at Toronto, the O'Keefe Center is scheduling its opening for September, 1980. It is to have acoustical control, a sound -transparent screen, remote controlled lighting system that allows for pre -setting of cues for 10 scenes and activation of each by a single switch; facilities for driving trucks on stage and a score of other features. Hugh P. Walker, the managing director, has named a New York representative to augment the activities of the Toronto executives.

Spokane Group offer Half -Price Ducats

To Book Shows SPOKANE -A group of Spo-

kane business men have incorporated under the name of Inland American, Inc., to bring attractions to Spokane.

Attractions will be presented in the Spokane Coliseum, which has a permanent stage and seating up to 8,000 capacity. Spokane also has a 30,000 -seat stadium to present outdoor attractions, with a portable stage and all lighting In- struments.

Rodeos Draw Continued fron: page 63

Crowds at California rodeos topped 900,000, indicating that one Californian in every 15 bought a rodeo ticket.

California also claims more professional rodeo contestants than any other State. Of the 2,900 active members of the Rodeo Cow boys' Association, 650 of them - 22 per cent -live in California.

Biggest rodeo in the world in terms of total prize money was again the Madison Square Garden Rodeo in New York, which paid off a total of $97,590, including entry fees, last October.

But the biggest day money was paid off in California at the Sheriffs Rodeo in the Los Angeles Coliseum, where 90,000 people saw the cowboy's compete in a one -day contest for a total payoff of $25,350.

Second biggest rodeo State last year was Texas, which had always been the biggest State for cowboy contests until California took over three years ago.

The 64 rodeos approved in Tex- as by the Rodeo Cowboys' Asso- ciation in 1958 paid off a total of $336,258 and drew 1,450,000 attendance.

Third ranking rodeo State was Colorado, where 985,000 people paid to see the cowboy's compete at 36 rodeos which paid off a total of $179,000.

Danes Oppose Coca -Cola

COPENHAGEN -Heavy competition soon will begin between Coca -Cola of the U. S. and a new Danish cola corporation formed by 18 of the principal Danish brewery firms.

For a long time Coca -Cola has been doing business in Norway and Sweden, but Danish breweries, which also produce soft drinks, pressured the Danish government into holding a high tariff on im- portation of Coca -Cola ingredients.

However, last year the tariff was reduced on Coca -Cola. The breweries managed to persuade the government to delay the new tariff in order to give diem time to meet the new competition.

The large breweries formed a new stock company, Danish Cola Drink, Inc., which will produce Jolly Cola in the soft drink plants of all 18 breweries.

Coca -Cola has arranged with a big Danish dairy firm to produce and distribute Coca -Cola with the

beverage fines and breweries. Distribution and sale of both Coca -Cola and jolly Cola is skedded to begin July 1.

RINGLING, BEATTY WIN HIGH WEEKEND GROSSES R -B to Count Beatty -Cole $1,800,000 To Top 400G In New York At Palisades

NEW YORK - -Rin Rag Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is

expecting to equal or edge ahead of its 1958 Madison Square Car- den gross reportedly around $1.-

-r 800,000. But to do it will take the 10 more perform-aces scheduled this time than last.

There is every reason for satisfaction in the Ringling camp, it is reported. Expenses are lower and the circus can pull a healthier net than from' comparable grosses of recent years.

Capacity business with the 58.50 top ticket price is around $43.000, and several of these full houses

Early Stands

Give Business

For Hunt Bros. SEAFORD, Del.- Better than

satisfactory business has greeted the earliest dates for Hunt Bros. Circus, which opened its 1959 tour Saturday (18) at Dover.

Two turnaway houses were scored in Dover, where the show was set up a couple of days in advance and where weather was good. Monday (20) in Selbyville pulled all -day drizzles, with attendance being light for the matinee and filled the tent next to capacity for the night show. Tuesday (21) was cold and raw here and the matinee played to a half -full tent.

Harry Hunt said the show has contracted the Plainville (Conn.) Stadium thru operator Joe Tinty for return engagement. A visitor in Seaford was J. C. Rosenheim, agent for the Cristiani show.

GIRL INJURED IN HANNEFORD PERCH ACCIDENT

OKLAHOMA CITY-Vicki

GIRL INJURED IN HANNEFORD PERCH ACCIDENT

OKLAHOMA CITY -Vicki Hanneford, wife of George Hanneford Jr., was injured when their perch pole failed and she fell to the floor of the Municipal Auditorium here. The accident occurred while they were performing with Po- lack Bros.' Circus.

At Mercy Hospital here her injuries were diagnosed as dis- location of both hips and frac- tured vertebrae.

have been recorded. On April 4.

when three shows were put or, an

$80.000 take was realized and that is exclusive of concession revenue.

Generally, night attendance has ranged from thin to fair at midweek, but afternoon shows have bounced up nicely in some instances. Kid tickets are half prise for weekdays.

Midweek Light Weekend schedule, when kids

are charged adults prices, begins on Friday nights, and Friday night business has been very poor. Fri- day/(24) had attendance estimated :.. only about 1,200.

Some weekdays have grossed as little as $15,000 after taxes, it was learned. But after midweek the show is getting about $35,000 daily.

It is another story for weekends. The circus got $54.000 for Sahrr- day (25) and $59,000 for Sunday - (26).

Attendance nose -dived following Easter week, partly due to the re- sumption of school and partly because of a change in the peAorm- ance schedule. At one time there was a possibility that the shove would shutter for two days to permit a hockey playoff, and first advertising menioned this hiatus. But the New York hockey team was beaten and the circus got to perform on those two days. Late change in advertising did not create much attendance, boiveser.

HUGO, Okla. -Al G. Kelly do

Miller Bros? Circus opened at its home base here Sunday (28), with additional people, new oanvas, more new seating, different midway line -up and a fresh coat of paint all around.

This is the show's first appearance under the full ownership of D. R. Miller, who bought out his brother during the v. inter. The circus is moving on 33 show -owned trucks, plus four -wheel trailers that bring the fleet to 47 units.

included are two new -design seat wagons, each seating about 300 persons. The new type was designed by Miller and more units of tlis, kind are under construction. The circus also continues to use four wagons from previous year. seating about 140 persons each. Ml are reserves, and plank blues remain in use.

Big top is a new 10(v too' round top with six poles and 12 -foot side - walls. Side Show and menagerie are in separate tents, and the me-

nagerie is a 70 with three 30's and two 20'e. It contains nine cages, mostly bought from the McCaw Motor Circus a year ago, plus the giraffe, which formerly was in a pit show, and all the show's elephants and lead stock.

PALISADES, N. J. - Indica- tions are that the Clyde Beatty - Cole Bros. Circus will gross more than $400,000 for the 109-performances ending Sunday (10). The potential has been more than doubled this year. with a longer run and more seats.

The 1958 total ticket gross was exceeded some time ago. Enlarge- ment has given the show a poteri. tial gross of more than $8,000 from a full house.

Business has been good to fine on weekends. Saturday (25) had a tirroaw :ry at 1:30 and a full house at 4:30 p.m., plus a night shove. On Sunday (26) both afternoon performances were to full houses. The usual three - show - per -day schedule has been in force for all weekends and the shows of the final Saturdays and Sundays are sold out in advance, according to the amusement park management.

Business for the show on weekdays has been satisfactory, tho slow. The engagement has built up the pattern of producing good business on weekends only, and that continues this year. Night business has been low all along.

The Beatty-Cole show is building a set of six floats. Cenral manager Frank MoClosky has been released from a hospital, where he was under treatment.

Palisades Amusement Park, where the circus is appearing, has worked tie -ins with a chain of supermarkets. General admission ticket is given with each $5 worth of groceries purchased. Another tie-iii is with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts for $1 reserved seat tickets.

Wind, Rain Hit

Cristiani Bros.

At Kingsport KINGSPORT, Tenn.-Rain and

heavy winds took their toll here as Cristiani Bros.' Circus was three hours late in starting the matinee to 900 ,people Tuesday (28). The night show fared better, with a

turnout of 1,700 people. Last year, Cristiani played to two straw houses here, also in the rain.

The street parade was given late. Rumors that the show had cancelled and that a serious wind- storm was beaded for Kingsport slashed attendance.

At Oak Ridge, Tenn., Monday (27) the show played to a half - house in the afternoon. Then an overflow night crowd prompted an extra night show to a half -house. The top arrived four days ahead of the show, which was playing an indoor date in Atlanta the previous week. The performers arrived late due to the long run and the parade was canceled.

DEER FOREST FINDS:

Direct Mail Brings Crowds; News Ads Attract Spenders

COLOMA, Mich. - How a snitch from direct mail to newspaper ads for school picnics brought a drop in attendance but an increase in spending was outlined last week by Ed Frady, Deer Forest Park promotion chief.

Deer Forest opened in 1949. in 1950 the park began soliciting school picnics in slow months, May and June. From 1950 to 1957 they admitted kids, teachers and bus drivers free and charged parents 25 per cent reduced admission. Solicitation used a mailing list of school officials compiled by the State. A letter and brochure were sent to school principals as far north as Grand Rapids, east to Battle Creek, south to New Buf- falo and west to Lake Michigan. B= 1957, the picnics were attract- ing 10,000 children. However, management was disappointed with inside park spending and decided to charge the kids 15 cents admis-

sion, Frady related. They also decided to switch to newspaper advertising for wider coverage.

In 1958 kid attendance then dropped by 50 per cent, but per capita spending rose .considerably. This year the ads are being ai g- mented, and the funspot is taking space in nine weeklies and 10 dailies at a cost of about $500.

Donn, June and Cary Adams will present four free acts a day on the outdoor stage. They have a repertoire of 14 acts, including horse, pony, mule, llama. goats, donkey, dogs, raccoon, trick roping, fast draw and bull whips.

A new exhibit, Red Riding Hood and the Wolf; a new Fiberglas setting for the bleeding heart doves. an entrance arch to Storybook Lane and a 50 per cent increase in baby lambs, goats, pigs and fawns are added for the 1959 season, so- cording to Frady.

Brown's statement indicates that the RSROA feels the public statements to date have not presented a fair viers of the controversy, and goes into some detail to document the background of the controversy, showing how the present differences arose. Browns statement of position ssaa released by the national office here. and Charles E.

Clear D. C. Skies Boon for Strates

WILMINGTON, Del. - Rain held up the opening of the Jamea E. Strates Show's for its two-week date here. following a bang -up week in Washington. The show, moving on 50 cars at present, pulled good weather thruout the engagement, which served as usual as a strong kickoff for the Northern tour.

Among the top money-winners was the new Schiff Wild Mouse. Strates crewmen have been working out methods to cut down the set -up time since it was delivered during the Florida winter season.

Last year's Wilmington engage.' ment pulled rain on six of the 12 days and the lot didn't react fa- vorably to the wet treatment. The run this time seemed much better blessed by weather, which stalled the full opening until Wednes- day, when skies were clear and the outlook bright.

Work around the show continues as the season progresses, fe w-

ing been devoted mainly to rolling stock over the winter. New scenic

R. I. Latest to Delve Into Bingo

PROVIDENCE, R. I.-Rhode Island is the third Eastern State to start policing bingo operations in recent years. New Jersey and Nesv York previously adopted stringest measures making It difficult for nonauspices people to involve themselves in the games.

In this State's Legislature, and due for approval, is a bill permitting cash bingo prizes and setting up a nine -member commission to supervise all bingo operations. The House of Representatives passed It quickly.

At present all proceeds must go to the sponsoring organization after deductions for broadly defined expenses. A main concern of the corn - mission would be to determine the nature of the expenses. Rep. Eu- gene Cochran (D.. Providence), the bi1Ps sponsor, said the commission would see that "sponsoring organizations get the profits due them from operators" of bingo.

all -steel sleepers, that had been re- built to show specifications, and four new flats were included In

the lineup. Other work accomplished by a

big crew here in winter quarters was the construction of a new Dark Ride and considerable work on the show's Wild Mouse to make it more portable.

Featured back -end show will be the Riel:i Corvette unit with Ricki Corvette, six -foot, eight -inch exotic as the star.

Both trains were due to arrive in Memphis late Tuesday. The show will move to the lot the following day and is scheduled to be up and in operation for the Saturday (9) opening.

charge of liquid refreshments One of the high points of the

evening was the humorous presentation of two gilt membership cards, one to Whitey Lehner for his prowess as a quaffer of beer and the other to Lou Leonard for being the "champion beefer" of 1959.

Prior to the party the board of governors and the regular body met. President Bill Carsky suas in the chair assisted by Ed Sopesar, treasurer, and Hank Shelby, sezre- tare. Past -presidents included Sam J. Levy Sr., and Al Sweeney, and four other past -presidents arrived later -Frank and Jack Duffield, Ned Toni and Maurice (Lefty) Ohren.

Reported on the sick list were Tom Durant, in Springfield (Mo.) Baptist Hospital for surgery, and Al Carsky, ready to be released from Augustana Hospital, Chicago.

Schenectady Premiere Does Okay for Buck

MENANDS, N. Y. - A good start on the season was scored by

the O. C. Buck Shows, in Its op-

ening date at Schenectady. Rain set in after the weekend but the spot, opening Thursday (23) had already proved pretty good.

Thursday thru Saturday were gone!, owner Buck commented, and a Saturday matinee turned out okay. Rain started intermittently on Sunday, and completely washed out Monday night. The following two nights were workable but

weather was far from the best. Buck, who had been out of na-

tion for several days with a sciatic, condition, sass- limited service during the week. There was no sign, he observed, that patron spending would not be as good this year as last.

Most of the regulars stem doing business. Ceranne arrived to take over the Illusion Show built M

waiting for my relief check recently I picked up crime magazine and ran across a story written by,

our old friend Tom Kennedy writes Hank Frederick from Wheel- ing, W. Va. "A few days later I bumped Into Tom; the first time I had seem him in three years. He was on his way to get a story of an

es- convict who recently kidnapped a woman and her three children at

Charleston, \V. Va. Tom told me that he b doing okay writing for crime magazines. He said that when he completes Ills book, "Dime Store Dottie, he will have enough lucre to pay off his creditors. Tom nid that litho he still makes an

occasional pitch, he cares little for the business because of sickness In other words, he is sick of it. I mode a lot of money the past win-

ter. However, my machine broke down, so 1 guess I'll have to go back on foot aids to get even."

"THE TIME . .

of year has arrived again to say no long to the home guards and hello to 'Mr. Mark'," writes Jack (Bottles) Stover from his diggin's in Harrisonburg, Va. "From where I sit, the new season looks like a

red one and the answer to a

shelties prayer, with plenty of territory and competition rare. Most of the old -timers have gone on to join Barnum or have secured hometown oonneotions, and the past 20 or 25 years have produced few, if any, new ones.

Brown Reply to Vote Protest Continued from page 70

shadow of doubt. You are free to

draw your own conclusions." Brown explained that the old

adage that "silence U golden" may be justifiably broken by his state orient, which is the first public presentation from the RSROA in

recent months over this dispute which followed the action over supply exhibitors at the national gath- erings reported last vinter. Brown noted that his statement "á dedi- ct.ted to the truth which wins an appropriate justification for breaking the silence when the truth is

being abused, diluted and per- verted.

May Be Confused "Some members of the roller

skating industry are probably con - lfused by the name rdliug and un- signed bulletin that are being circulated around the country. Frank- ly, the RSROA has been limitant to answer these ridiculous charges which seem calculated to create a rift between the RSROA and other members of the industry.

It is indeed interesting to note that these bulletins contain many anonymous statements; in some cases attributed to rink operators, but these same bulletins, behind anonymity, request manufacturers to state publicly how they vote on roller skating industry policy within the MARSI organization."

The incident whindn led to the present impasse stems [corn the Queen's Dinner staged by the Roll- er Skating Foundation. an all- indus- try organization. at Miami Beach last November. At this. Brown says, "a representative of the URO attempted to capitalize on this gath- ering by announcing tb:.t they were sending A team of amateur skaters to New Zealand in conjunction with the President's 'People to People Committee.

Keep in mind that this dinner was given by the RSF and was not directly connected With the RSROA or the URO. Now the URO knew full well that the RSROA, at considerable expense, was sending e

team of American champions to the World Skating Congress Interna- tional Amateur Championships in

New Zealand daring the same period.

"The URO could have selected any other spot on the globe to send its skaters, but rather it picked the same time and country that the RSROA had selected. The URO's announcement at the banquet came as a complete surprise to the RSF and the RSROA. As the president of the RSF said later, 'It was like havirlg an invited guest spit on the table.'

"The RSROA had been silent on its New Zealand plans at the

Queens Dinner. This wee hardly the time or place to discuss inter - association differences. Nonethe- less, the die was cast and the RSROA was forced to take notion."

Cites Queen Dinner The Queens Dinner affair is only

the latest in a series of incidents, Brown pointed out. "Any action taken was not based solely on this one isolated attack at Miami Beach. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back. A series of incidents at IsIARSI trade shases in Reading, Pa.; Indianapolis and St. Paul led to this final insult last November. These incidents Were

strictly uncalled for and could serve no purpose but to cause strife and lard feelings.

"Yet the URO bulletin was quoted recently in a national publication as saying, "We repeat, we do not want to promote organiza- tional squabbles. Well, they are certainly doing a very good job of promoting squabbles.

"The Board of Control in session With the presence of the RSROA Advisory Board (Fred A. Martin, Fred Freeman, Ed La Venture, Thomas Boydston, Bob Could and myself) debated the issue and con- cluded that as far as future incidents Were concerned, we would, as an associatioon, avoid the occasions which inevitably gave rise to the disputes. Accordingly it was decided that the RSROA would not participate in any roller skating affairs (promotions, meetings, etc.) where the URO was represented. Naturally, this included MARSI Trade Shosws :

The handling of past incidents Is a matter of internal RSROA policy and not significant in this connection, Brown said, aid scent on to explain the action taken by the RSROA following the incident at the Queen's Banquet, which appears to be the focal incident in the controversy.

"The morning following. Joseph Shevelson, president of \fARSI, asked to appear before the RSROA Board of Control, and the Board, consistent with the policy adopted, told Shevelson that they would deem it a favor if he Would let them know in time if the URO was going to exhibit at the MARSI trade show because, if :ey sere, the RSROA preferred not to attend. The RSROA had no objec- tion to the URO at the \fARSI shows nor did the RSROA want to dictate \SARSI policy, but the RSROA svosrld not exhibit if the URO did. We would not become involved in future incidents.

"Shevelson said that he as president of MARSI would put the matter to a vote. The Board of Con- trol said that it preferred not having a vote but would sin lv like to know in time if the tRI intended to exhibit at the MARSI shows. Shevelson insisted that the issue be put on the ballot. It was. The results were a resounding de- feat for the URO."

Many Protests The result was an outblust of

cries of "w3- Americanism," "re- straint of trade" and "equally ridiculous statements," Brown said. "Many came forward, mostly anonymous, to make these unfounded allegations. It should be pointed out that in their despera- tion charges ssere not leveled at the RSROA, but at me, personally, with such unsavory adjectives as 'massa,' gangsterism; 'racketeer' and the like.

"I have devoted a great portion of my life to the promotion of roller skating, so quite naturally these lies hurt deeply, but I can proudly stand on my record as a husband, father, grandfather and American citizen, and can go even further when it comes to the promotion of roller skating. My record is an open book. I am proud of it and I

stand on that record." Brown's statement follows, be

says, "a long series of unfounded

It would be swell if all of the abose- mentioned folks took up their ink sticks and piped in, then lending a hand in rejuvenating the Pipes column. DURLNG .. a recent visit with Mills Bros.' Cir- cles in Ohio, Henry H. Varner, the Akron maestro, renewed acgnaint- ances with Coco Jr., Harry Baker, Herman Joseph, Bumpsy Anthony, the seven Spanish clowns and the Riva Sisters. "With the weather getting better, I'll be back working at the pitch trade soon," declared Vanier.

personal attacks, but more important-to me as a founder, attacks on the RSROA. These incidents could not go unanswered. The RSROA stated last November that it scanted nothing to do with the URO in the future. That is certainly the right of the RSROA. Tine \SARSI vote resulted. The RSROA did not ask for the vote, but it did happen, and the RSROA is proud of MARSI's stand and confidence in the association."

A significant clarification of a point that seems to have been be- clouded in the controversy - the right of non -MARSI members to exhibit -seas clarified by Brown. "Speaking of rights, may I point out that any exhibitor not a member of MARSI (such as RSROA, URO, Douglass- Snyder, Johnny Jones Jr., Jack Adams, Clinton Skate Company and several others) does not sbov it MARSI trade shoes as a matter of right but only as a guest. I don't know what logic the URO is using when it talks about deprivation of rights because of not being invited to future MARSI trade shows.

'This point is important because it is at the heart of the dispute. Non- \fARSI members are not invited to exhibit as a matter of right; rather it is a courtesy extended by the MARSI organization to the non -members of MARSI's choosing. For a guest (the URO) to attempt to convert a privilege into a right is unthinkable, unless the MARSI organization itself, sshase prerogative it is, chooses to confer the right. Outside of MARSI members, MARSI Dan invite whomever thee please and can exclude whomever they please. Those not invited have no complaint. This isn't a case where the URO's position is on thin ice -there isn't on. ice."

Sums It Up Brown swimed up his whole

statement as follows: "Rather than take these charges against me and the RSROA seriously, I am more of -a mind to say, 'Shame on you, URO; act your age:

"The RSROA is too big to stand idly by while the URO attacks MARSI members with no better grounds for their attack than outlined above. Because innocent people may be hurt, the RSROA is perfectly satisfied to waive any rights received from MARSI by the recent vote and thereby MARSI can invite whomever they swish to exhibit at their trade shows and those who Wish to attend may do so, as was the ease before the Oon-

troversial MARSI vote which supported the RSROA. This was the original intent of the RSROA any- way. We simply wanted to know if the URO had accepted the \fARSI invitation because, if so, in order to avoid future dirputrs, the RSROA would decline to exhibit.

"I am sure that the facts presented sill give further support to the testimony that the RSROA is

strictly interested in the promotion of roller skating and not interested in petty controversies which can

contribute nothing to osIr industry"

VENDING MACHINES MAY 4, 1959

Everett Graff NVA President

CIIICAGO- Everett Graff was

elected president of the National Vendors Association to succeed 1.couard Quinn at the convention election meeting here April 18.

In a brief acceptance speech, Graff, head of E. J Graff & Corn-

y, Dallas, thanked the group or the honor they bestowed on

SBA's Macfee

Maps Basics

Of Success CHICAGO -Ideas on how to

succeed in a small business and avoid pitfalls leading to failure were discussed by Robert Macfee, staff specialist of the Small Busi- ness Administration, at the Na- tional Vendors' Association convention in Chicago April 18. He also outlined the purpose and scope of SBA.

Macfee pinpointed three essen- tials for insuring business success:

`,Establishing policies and procedures, distinguishing between policy and procedure and allocating time to administer both, and reaching outside one's own business for new ideas and for keeping abreast of trends.

More than nine out of 10 business failures are caused by lack of proper management, he said. He cautioned businessmen to spend sufficient time on adequate plan - ning and urged them to plan at least a year ahead, noting that planning improves efficiency.

He said that business success is measured In terms of how well the business is meeting the needs of a consuming public at any given time. and that since needs are con - stantly changing, this requires continual awareness and constant planning. Ile declared that the small business owner or manager "must be a decision -maker or he must live with those decisions he does not make." Too many decisions are made on the 'spur of the moment

year ahead. The group gave Graff a standing ovation.

Quinn, NVA president the past two years, was presented with a

plaque as a token of the work he has done on behalf of tire group. (The Billboard, April 27.) Ted Ray- nor, I`'VA counsel, lauded both Graff and Quinn for their demonstrated leadership Integrity and ability.

Raynor singled out the contd. butic.s Graff has made by beginning the regional meeting concept which worked successfully. Don Nlitchell. Raynor's new law partner, told The Billboard after the convention that plans were underway to set up regional meetings such as Graff started, in various sections of the country during the year.

Other officers elected are: Roger Folz, of Folz Vending, Oceanside, N. Y., vice- president; Bert Fraga, Standard Speiaclties, Oakland, Calif., treasurer; and Elliott Levy, young St. Louis operator, seceetary.

Named NVA directors are: Harry Bell, Arthur Bianco, Sid Bloom, Paul Crisman, Sam Eppy, William Falk, Bob Guggenheim, Lee Hard- man, Max Hurvich, Charles Kanak, Rolfe Lobell, Kenneth McPhail, Albert R. Martin Paul Price, Rich- ard Rollins, Phil Spancino, Jack Schoenbach, H. B. Hutchinson Jr., Jack Nelson, C. H. Applegate.

Advantages of NVA Insurance Pinpointed

Following Is the speech given at the National Vendors Association April 18 by W. A. Yarmer of the World Wide In- surance Company.

I have been extended the privilege of appearing here before you to briefly discuss and explain in- entrance as It relates to your association. I will begin by explaining your liability insurance as carried suunder a group plan tines the Joseph Lipshutz Company.

Liability insurance is just about the most Important insurance repaired today. Whether you own an automobile for either business or pleasure or have a vending machine, you cannot afford In either ease to be without adequate liabll- ity insurance.

íx What is liability insurance? Some refer to it as "bodily injury" and others may call it "third person liability insurance." Briefly, lia-

U. S. Announces Vending Ops Hiked Candy Buys in '57 to $36,991,000

Operators Bought 8.5% More, a Greater Margin of Increase Than Other Outlets

WASHINGTON -The nation's $1,061,634,000 at manufacturers' vending machine operators bought 8.5 per cent more candy from confectionery manufacturers in 1957 than they did in 1956, according to a report issued by Commerce Department last week (21).

Vending operators increased the amount of candy they bought by a greater margin than did wholesalers, chain stores, department stores and independent retailers in

the sane period. In 1957, sales of confections by

m:mufacturers- wholesalers to vending machine operators totaled $38,- 991.000, compared with $34,083,- 000 a year earlier. Figures are based on reports submitted to Com- merce Deparhnent by some 225 manufacturers.

Confectionery sales by the manufacturers in 1957 amounted to 2,768,856,000 pound s, worth

Wily Insurance is sslrere the Insur- ance company on your behalf agrees to defend you against a member of the public who has sustained physical injury or damage to property. Whether you are responsible or not snakes no difference; the company will defend In

either case. The oompany, de- pending upon the exact circum- stances of the alleged Injury, pays medical bills, snake an out -of -court settlement, may take the ease to court or may deny liability. The amount of insurance you carry Is

the maximum amount the insurance company can be called upon to pay to an Injured party. For example, if your policy has limits of $20,000 over $40,000, this means $20,000 limit per person and /or $40,000 limit for trvo or more persons involved in any one accident.

NAMA Counsels

Review State

Bills, Action CHICAGO - A report sum-

marizing State legislation affecting vending up to the end of April calls attention to the need of the industry keeping its guard up. It also tells of the success enjoyed so far by the National Automatic Mer- chandising Association in fighting unfavorable legislation.

The report, by Herb Beitel and Sid Kallick, legislative counsel and associate legislative counsel, re- spectively, for 'NAMA, appears in the April 20 issue of NAMA's Nerve Briefs.

The current State picture for vending, as of that date, as shown by Messrs. Beitel and Kallick:

Bitterman Outlines Distributor's Role

CHICAGO- -The role distributors play in bulk vending and the services they perform were outlined by Bernie Bitterman, honorary president of the National Vendors' Association and member of the National Vending Machine Distributors' Association, at the NVA convention Saturday (18).

Bitterman first sketched the anticipated burgeoning future econ- omy of the U. S., which will shape the future of bulk vending. Then he turned his sights toward his theme, "The Distributor at Your Service." and first spelled out NVMDA's definition of a distributor.

In the opinion of the members of the vending distributors' association, "most if not all the following qualifications should be met," he said.

Have an established place of business in tine commercial section of the city.

Keeps his business open during regular business hours.

Is proud of his profession, Is

listed as a vending machine dis - tribuutor in the telephone directory and pays proper license to operate his business.

Represents one or more recog- nized manufacturers of vending machines as well as numerous merchandise sources of supply.

Maintains display of conventional machines, accessories and merchandise, as well as samples of

the newest items, for his custourers consideration.

Maintains a service department, capable not only of reconditioning equipment but also to render an advisory service to operators on their mechanical problems.

Acts as a clearing house on new ideas and Information valuable to operators.


Allied Denies FTC Charges

WASHINGTON - Allied Mer- chandising, Inc., University City, Mo., cigarette vending machine distributor, has denied Federal Trade Commission charges that It uses false advertising to sell it machines.

In February FTC charged that the company misrepresented the profits earned by purchasers of the machines, that the purpose of Al-

lied's advertising was to get cns- tome s and not to offer employment, as implied, and that Allied does not offer established routes, relocate unprofitable machines or

resell them for dissatisfied customers, as implied. (The Billboard, February 23.)

Allied's officers, Peter A. Krause

and William Dardick, deny the charges and ask that the complaint be dismissed.

Keeps abreast of changes affect - log his industry and is capable of advising in matters of license, methods of operation, etc.

Maintains a sufficient stock of merchandise to adequately conduct a vending machine distributing business. Altho it Is impossible to stock all requirements in this fast moving business, it is agreed that a minimum of approximately $25,000 Is required.

Assumes responsibility to his customers, backed by his reputation within the industry.

"At Your Service" In the association's opinion, Bitterman said, means these things:

In addition to the service available to the operator mentioned above, we believe the following are definite advantages a distributor can offer an operator:

Service. Filling orders to the shortest possible time. A bona fide distributor is accustomed to fill orders calling for items manu- factured by numcroro sources of supply, all In the same shipment to the operator.

Convenience. Saving of time Iry operator, but also freight charges as compared to individual charges from numerous manufacturers.

Accommodation. Credit extended by the distributor to the operator, whenever possible, for sound business reasons.

Price. This is consideration of the distributor the same as it is for an operator. "Every distributor

lation and what to look for:

Operators with the help of manufacturers and suppliers and the guidance and direction of NAMA have been successful in preventing any new per- machine taxes from going on the books. A tremendous amount of work on the part of the many members has

gone into the successful czlmpaí ns

to block such legislation ... (but that) with the State legislative ses-

sions a little less than one -half over, it is obvious from the pressure already witnessed that there are very serious tax threats ahead.

Tlrev reported that they "antici- pate that the worst pressures will curve at the county and municipal levels for per- machine taxes and other taxes harmful to the automatic merchandising industry. The city and county governments are in more desperate need of finances than their State governments and, once they have determined what financing aid they are or are not going to get from their State governments, they will be searching with renewed vigor for methods of increasing present tax revenues."

They report results of their work on legislation affecting other than per- nsachine taxes and conclude by urging every NAMA member to "watch the activities of his State Legislative and city council very closely . (and to) report any minor or information concerning legislative proposals affecting the industry immediately to NAMA."

is mindful that if his price Is out of fine his business suffers." Said Bitterman: Price alone should not be the only consideration in dealing with your distributor, any more than it is in your other business considerations. Factors such as, freight, proper service in filling the order, personal interest in the customer should also be considerations.

The bona fide distributor la usually associated with all phases of our industry. You will find his name among the charter members of our organizations that are working for the continual improvement of our industry," Bitterman said.

He declared that '-every operator needs, and should need, his distributor monthly. Ile should never stay away Tróm the distributor more than '90 days. The distributor is not set tip Just for part - time operators. He can be used by the full -time operator to his advantage. The distributor is the place where the operator can trade in old machines for new and receive good valens for them."

Bitterman pointed out that in business studies conducted by Har- vard's graduate school of business administration, these reasons are cited for business failures:

Inadequate records. Inaccurate records, insufficient financing, improper budgeting of expenditures, excessive operating costs, internal controls. tax planning, faulty purchasing. faulty sales and inventory controls.

He said that "many of the operators who formerly attended our conventions are no longer with us; many operators with whom we have been in correspondence in

ears gone be (and we have been in this field since 19.1.3) have fallen bo the wayside because of one or more of the above reasons. I am fully confident that if the operator sobo failed to make the grade had visited a distributor personally and had talked os-er his problem with him. he would still be with is as an asset to both oar business growth and to our association."

Advantages of NVA Insurance Continued from page 81

along with increased claim i consciousness on the part of the general public along with higher jury awards all contribute to the importance of your liability insurance.

The next part of your liability insurance is property damage. For example, if you should hit a parked car, your auto insurance company would have to pay on your behalf for the damage to the other person's car. In the case of a vending machine that is accidentally knocked over and breaks a store window, you have a specific example of where the property damage coverage may be called upon to effect payment for the window.

Products liability is the nest item of coverage under your group liability insurance policy. This pro- tects you against the possibility of someone being injured by the product you are vending. Here again, whether a claim is groundless, fraudulent or legitimate, the company always will defend. The defense provision alone under your liability insurance is very valuable.

The last part of your liability insurance is optional in the sense you only consider "contractual' or "hold harmless agreements" where you are required by your client. Contractual or Hold Harmless agreements are not covered auto- matically. in all cases, they must first be submitted to the Joseph Lipshutz- Company, who, in turn, submit the copy of the Contractual or Hold Harmless agreement to the insurance company where it is

evaluated and a specific charge made. Only then are you covered for this exposure.

For your general information I will describe just a few of the different types of claims which have actually been submitted under your group liability insurance policy.

gumboil. This reminds me of the case where a mouse was found inside a loaf of bread.

A woman, while turning the handle on a vending machine, got a sliver of metal Imbedded In her hand.

A customer when swallowing some cashew nuts also 'swallowed some glass chips.

A small boy sustained severe personal injury when a vending machine fell on him.

I would also like to comment on the advantages you are enjoying and perhaps unaware of under this group liability policy. Briefly, the advantages are as follows:

Lower premium, which today is very important.

Better coverage. You certainly do not want to learn in the event of a claim, you are uninsured. Un- der a group plan you have more comprehensive handling of your insurance program.

You have the protection and stability of group purchasing. For example, if one of you should have a

series of three or four losses running into several thousands of dollars and you do not carry your insurance thru this group plan but instead carry your liability insurance individually outside of the association, the insurance company would undoubtedly do one of two things after paying the losses; either cancel their insurance with you or raise your rates to a fantastic degree. This is unlikely under your group plan.

I would like to strongly emphasize, the better the participation on your part in joining the group liability policy handled by Joseph Lipshutz Company, the more advantages can be given you. Some- thing like this should have your full support.

The advantages underlying group purchase power can also be extended into other pleases of insurance. You, as a group, can ad- vantageously purchase life insurance, hospitalization and accident insurance and other forms of coverage required in your vending operation. I understand in the past opportunities of this nature were offered you with little or no response on your part. I recommend you seriously consider the advantages and opportunities available to you as a group.

Following this meeting, I would sincerely appreciate your visiting me and allowing me the pleasure of answering any questions you may have, either on what I have discussed here today, or if you have a question on any type of insurance matter.

merchandising get together on an industry -wide and national program in order to better inform the public about merchandise vending, its service and its problems," he said. "I hope that every company will see fit to send representatives from its staff or outside counsel."

The meeting will coincide with the Washington sectional conference to held May 21 and 22. Vend- ing operating companies which have public relations or.advertising personnel are also invited to participate.

The conference will be under the sponsorship of the public relations committee of NAMA. J. Richard Howard, Indianapolis, is chairman of the committee and will chair the meeting.

Walter W. Reed, NAMA public relations director, said that invitations have been issued to companies known to have an interest in vending. He said further information or additional invitations can be obtained thru him at NAA1A's Chi- cago headquarters at 7 South Dear. born Street.

or not at all he said. "This is drift- ing," he said, not managing."

Macfee explained that "policies are plans cha.anrling or guiding thinking governing action" and that "when you've made a policy decision, It hells consistency and efficiency." Without policies, procedures vary, he said. often with poor results. In order to establish policy and procedures enough time must be spent on planning.

He urged the group to keep close tabs on all sources of ln. formation In order to keep informed. Good courses, he said, include employees, source. of supply, trade associations and trade Merl.

In his opening remarks, Macfee lauded NVA on doing a wonderful job In a very precarious business," stressing that unity is the comer - stone of any association" and that "unity will help you meet your problems."

Before beginning his prepared talk on "Improving Your Manage- ment Efficiency,' he discussed SBA and the services it provides. Litera- ture on SBA and its services were distributed at the door following his talk.

He explained that SBA was a

permanent government agency whose purpose was to Inform, guide and service all types of small business (he said that SBA's definition of "small business" is a business that is independently owned and operated and not dominant in its fieldl.

SBA's major programs are in these areas: Management services, pproduction, sales, new products and financial assistance. The latter Is designed to augment what a bank or other credit facility can do for a small business. The list of SBA publications includes 37 on mar- keting aids, 99 on management aids. He encouraged people to use the facilities of SBA. He told the group there are 55 SBA field offices in 15 regions thruout the country. People seeking advice are served free of charge.

means that because the houses and operators handling their goods are

a small segment of the industry, disclosing the figures would divulge their yearly sales to the industry generally.

Sales of bulk goods to all outlets in 1957 amounted to 467.096,000 pounds valued at $132,025,000, and c ,rs srised 16.9 por Dent of the industry's poruclage and 12.4 per Dent of its value.

Sales of penny -goods houses to all outlets in 1937 totaled $24,- 011,000 compared with $22.093,. 000 in 1958. This category showed the greatest increase percentage. wise, 8.7 per cent in poundage and 9.6 per omit in value.

Hard to Estimate Report points out that there are

difficulties in estimating the share of the retail candy market accounted for by salts thm vending machines as a whole because some of the residing business is handled by wholesalers, either for their own vending machine operations or as

suppliers for the small independent operators.

Commerce's report adds that the general magnitude of the vending machine business, which in the 1954 Census of Business wad cred- ited with retail sales of $636 million in all products, would wens to indicate that retail candy sales dim vending machines represent a somewhat larger proportion of the retail candy market than implied by manufacturers' direct sale to firms classified as vending median operators. Such direct sales are estimated to amount to $37 million, indicating a minimum of 3.5 per cent of the candy market in the vending machine field.

The picture for 1938 appears rosy, too. Preliminary statistics show the confectionery manufacturing industry ran counter to the grsienral economic downturn last year, Commerce says. Salta are estimated at 2,790 million }winds, with a value at manufacturers sales level of $1,112 tnillion. Sales of bar goods are up 4 per cent from 1957. Salts of bulk goods are down 1 per cent in poundage, but up 2 per cent in value.

Acquitted were Peter V. Chris- tian, Rogers, Minn., and Gene Letts, Henry A. Meyer, Henry Stelzer, Roger Thompson, Milton Brown and Edward E. Henderson, all of Minneapolis.

The five persons convicted were referred for pre -sentence investigation by Judge Nordbye.

The month -long trial of the elder Zaun, his two sons and the 10

salesmen brought out that scores of cigarette vending machine purchasers in 20 States were defrauded thru promises of profits to be made in the vending business. A number of the government's 55 witnesses testified during the trial that thew bought vending machines which never were delivered or which were on non -existent vending machine routes.

THE BILLBOARD VENDING MACHINES 85

Coin Machine Price 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 base been

adsertised either at least 10 times for the period

shown Or at least 5 tines together with a computation

bared 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 in the Index are designed, however, to be

handy guide for price ranges. Any price obviously

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

(For 10 -week period ending with issue of April 27, 1959)

Index MEAN AVERAGE. The mean average is a commits- thin based on all prices of which a machine has been dscrtised for the period indicated and reflects the dominant adsertised price level. It is not a simple average hchvecn the "high" and low." High and low indicate price range; mean average indicates the price level at which most of the machines are adsertised for. Therefore, when the mean average is nearer the "high," it indicates the "Inw" is a unique price probably for as is- or -distressed- equipment.

Commissioner Kennedy said the survey will attempt to discover what, if any, underworld influences exist in the city's juke box industry.

P -R Lesson for Trade Armstrong 'y Circle Theater and Senator McClellan de-

livered one of the strongest good public relations punches pos- aible for the honest and legitimate juke box operator Iasi Vs'ednesday (29) on the CBS- Network show "Sound of Violence.

We don't know what the Trendex rating was on this show, nor how many millions of people wen watching it. ..hurt the show displayed with rare understanding the vulnerability of the juke lox operator to racketeering elements...and left the definite Impression that the juke box operator b the victim of a conspiracy that must and ahould be the concern of every citizen.

There was public relations "lesson for the juke box business displayed with this presentation, Tell the honest facts, display the situation for what It Is.. .and the Industry will get more appreciation than tf k gandy- dances down a path of talking only about Its gift. of Juke boxes and participation in youth centers, et al.

Senator McClellan deserves the thanks and support of every honest juke bon operator for his dosing remarks. He made clear that his evaluation of all testimony before the Senate Select Committee has shown him that the vast majority of Juke operators are honest citizens In a legitimate business which has been victimized be racketeers. It was also dear, Incidentally, that honest unionism has likewise been victimized.

The good Senator's amendments have been watered down In the Labor Bill which has been passed by the Senate and is now before the House. If you're one of the honest operators who wants relief from the unbearable pressure of racketeering hnocgnma and paper unions, now's the time to write to your Senators and Representatives and ask them to put "teeth" In the law and pasa ft with unanimity. We won't try- to put words fn your mouth...be sincere and complete-and we'll bet that with good publicity inch as this Armstrong television show, it 'll be a rare lawmaker who will not heed your comments.

House Hearings Still May 20 -21, Plus June Date

By \IILDBEI) W ASHiNGTON -A number of

witnesses scheduled for flouse Copyrights Subcommittee hearings on the Celler uke anti-exemption bill have asked for postposerneatt. but as of last week (30), no

changes were contemplated in the May 20, 21 schedule.

Ilrnvevee, subcommittee counsel Cyril Bnokfield said that an additional date acetate in June would be provided for those who could not testify at Mav hearings.

Those who onnot cone even to the proposed sae -clay June hearing. will have to submit statements. There will be no additional hearing date for oral testimony. says Brick - field.

A nimmer is afloat that on the Senate aide, the O'\lahoney Copy- rights Subcommittee is considering holding its hcariugs on the O'Ma- haney bill to end juke box per-

formance royalty exemption (and to double mechanical royalty for records used ln Juke play) immediately following the May House hearings. No confirmation has come from the subcommittee staff, or Chairman ONahooey (D., Wyo.).

Me.unvbile, both sides of the )pike box performance exemption battle are speculating on the results of the amended decree for ASCAP (American Society of Com- posers, Authors and Publishers), which is rumored to be due ont in

the very near future. Negotiations have gore for a year between ASCAP representatives and the antitnnat division. and presumably ASCAP and juke box operators would both like to know the final outcome before the opening of the juke box hearings.

BILL ADAIR ADVISES

Don't Limit Stereo To Top Locations

PHILADELPHIA - Stereo- phonic music is gaining a firm foothold in the metropolitan Phila- delphia area, with an estimated 13 units on location In Eastern Pennylvania and South Jersey, ecoording to Bill Adair of Eastern Music Systems, the local Seeburg distributor.

According to Adair, many operators are making a mistake by confining their stereo effort to top locations. Adair reasons that there fa a limit on what a good stop can do. and this limit is approached on many locations with monaural units.

Hence, he continued, the operator will replace a monaural machine with a stereo unit and dis-

Meanwhile, Robert Kennedy. counsel for the Rackets Committee. has suggested the formation of a

national crime commission to help stop the spread of gangsterism in

the U. S. In an article appearing in Nations Business, a Chamber of Commerce publication, Kennedy said the commission would be in-

cover that collections will either remain the same or go up only slightly.

stereo installation in these type locations.

Adair emphasized that he still favors the use of stereo in top locations to Insure heavy play and to keep the location owner happy. But, he feels that if the operator confines such installations to top locations, he is missing the best bet for increased revenues.

While the shortage of 45 stereo records is still a problem In the Philadelphia area, the Infirm of new releases has helped somewhat. Adair feels that the record companies have been doing a good job in releasing 43 stereo albums, the greatest shortage exists in stereo singles.

Court Medics Test Sanity of Juke Unionist

NEW YORK -Joe Callo, local hoodlum who allegedly was one of the musclemen attempting to take over the juke box and amusement game Industries here is currently under observation at King. County Hospital where psychiatrists are determining whether he L sane enough to stand trial on a vagrancy charge.

The Brooklyn racketeer and his brother, Larry Callo, recently appeared before the McClellan Com- mittee when: they both took the Fifth Amendment when asked if they had committed criminal acts.

Joe Gallo, 28, has been arrested 17 times on charges ranging from bookmaking to kidnaping. He and his brother had set up Local 19, Federated Service %%'orkers Union, which was Later enjoined by New York courts.

Backgroud Here is the background to the

current assignment of Joe Gallo for observation, according to Ben Schmier, assistant Brooklyn district attorney who is handling the case. Schmier will also represent the State in the case against Ernest (Ernie Flippo) Filocomo, who is accused of beating Sidney Saud, Brooklyn juke box operator.

In 1950, Callo appeared in Kings County, Court before Judge Nathan Sobel on a burglary charge. He pleaded guilty to illegal entry and w -as sent to Kings County Hospital for observation.

The psychiatrists sled that Cal - lo was insane, did not know the nature of his acts, and was suffer- ing from dementia praecox. They recommended that he be committed to a State mental institution.

However, Judge Sobel set aside the recommendation of the psychi Striats on condition that Callo private psychiatric treatments. He suspended the three-year jail sentence.

The latest incident took place Friday (24) when Callo was slated to stand trial for vagrancy. Assist- ant District Attorney Schmier, re- calling that the defendant had once been ruled insane by a psychiatric board, asked Magistrate Benjamin Sohor to send him to Kings County Hospital for observation. The request was granted.

If the psychiatric board rules that Callo is insane, the case goes before the Supreme Court, which odes whether or not he is to be committed.

if the board rules that he is sane, Schmier said that he will prosecute him on the vagrancy charge. The defendant is expected to he under observation from 10 to 20 days.

At Chia point, the oommeotator emphasize. that most operator associations are legitimate groups of businessmen, banded together for nnntial self -interest.

Th syndicate representative then moves into to city by buying part of a route from an established operator. One scene shows the operator introducing the new men to one of to lunation owners end explaining to to new upes-atoe the importance of good service and intelligent programming.

The action then shifts to the offices of the newly -established Juke Box Operators Association. The syndicate man chosen to nun the association tells a group of operators that the JBOA will provide the- industry with stability.

He explains that DO member may jump the location of any other member, that location lists will be filed with the association and that these lists will he respected, adding that no longer will the location owner be able to demand new equipment and other considerations.

Wants Competition One operator won't buy the

deal He points out that the only way he can expand is by getting locations now serviced by competitors and that he prefers open competition to a closed city.

Initially, about a third of the operators in the city join the aseo- citation willingly. Thu remainder are then subject to a campaign of harassment. Locations are jumped by bonus offers, Iargne commission amagemcnta, and intimidation. When the location refuses to go along, the machine are damaged -sometimes with giun in the coin slot, sometimes with acid, and sometimes with the axe.

After each act of violence, the operator is approached and asked either to join tw association or to sell his route -at distress prices - to one of the a-iociatiou's pet operators. Thee approach is largely successful.

Violence Halts When one non -member defies

the association, his wife receives threatening phone calls, and the operator himself is brutally beaten. The operator is able to identify his assailants, and a halt is called to the violence. A more subtle approach Is tried.

Here Local 13 of the independent Union of Juke Box Servicemen enters the picture. The Inca] runm - ber and the name of the union have been selected arbitrarily by the panels behind the association. Fake minutes are drawn up. La- bels are said for $2 per machine per month, and dues of $15 per employee per month are assessed.

Association members are prom- ised that if any outlaw )jumps their locations, pickets will be dis- patched. Association dues, which until then had been S1 per una-

chine per month, are increased to $5 per machine per month.

Must Join Assn. One operator who wants to join

the union is told that he must first join the association. %Vhen the operator replies that such an arrangement is illegal, the union representative counters that he may join the union upon posting of a $ 25,000 bond. The operator joins the association.

A tavern owner, who stood loy- ally by his operator and who had resisted all pressures to switch, finally knuckles under when pickets bait all deliveries to his bar and he is forced either to com- promise his principles or go out of

business. The scene in which he explains his decision to the old operator is a touching one.

The story hoe no rand. The law tries to help, but it is powerless because potential witnesses are afraid to speak up lest they be put out of business. When the

drama concludes, to syndicate he. taken over the Juke box industry in the city.

After the drama, Sen. John L. McClellan, chairman of the Serrate Meet Committee on Improper Au- tivities in the Labor or Manage- ment Field, asks for legislation whirls would prevent gangsters from taking over the juke box Field.

He points oust that the Juke box Industry is legitimate business, with a pro per place in our econ- omy. Ile also points out that the great nsajority of Operators are honest, law- abiding citizens who de- serve the right to shay In business.

Much of what was depicted on the television screen has already happened; some of it never has taken place. But all of it could take place.

But the "Circle Theater: presentation differs from the sb- called newspaper exposes and magazin shotpm blasts in one importa regard. Turnout the play, the inks box operator is depicted as the victim -not the berneficiary -of cur ruin forces. He is shown as a family man who struggles for his living, as a man who wants to do the right thing, but who is sometimes weak. In short, he is shown as ars ordinary human being. no better or no worse than his fellow roan. The industry can ask no more.

Should an amended consent decree revamp ASCAP's distribution formulas to make eayment heavier on the basis of current performance" rather than seniority, this argument could be weakened for operators.

Stereo Helps Renewal Pitch of N. Y. Operators

NEW YORK - Joe Connors, local juke box operator, reports that the offer of stereophonic music is effective in getting contract re- newals from locations and paring doyen !motion demands on the operator.

Connors, who operates BO pieces in Queens, is replacing equipment with stereo every time he buys a new box. To date, he has five stereo juke boxes on location, all its top stops.

BALL BOWLERS ON THE OCEANFRONT

Turn Quiet Beachside Dance Hall

Into Profitable Amusement Center By DiCK STAIDER

Editor's Note' This is another in a series of Billboard

n articles on recreation centers and playlands featuring coin - operated howling games. The Billboard launched this series last November when it appeared that these new installations would seta fresh trend

1 in coin machine operations.

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. -Ball bowling machines. in a set- up designed to appeal to teen -agers and family groups, are being used by two local coinmen to try to turn what was something of a

liability into a big asset.

D. C. Land and H. E. Williams, partners in businesses involving three bars and all topes of amusement machines. lrase installed eight of Chicago Coin's Xing ball bowling machines in their new Bowling Center operation here.

They have one of the choicest locations in the city. The Bowling Center is situated on the oceanfront beside the main vehicle and pedestrian ramps leading onto the beach and across the street from a

busy roller -skating rink and restaurant.

"We've had nothing but corn- t pliments on our new operation,'

asserted Land, who frankly admits that shat was a "white elephant" of a business spot has been turned Into a profitable place with a rosy future.

For the past few years we have been trying to rim this place as a

New Compact

Rocket Game CHICAGO - Star Rocket. a

new compact version of the Rocket Shuffle type game, but played without shuffle pucks, was shipped to distributors last week.

Chicago Coin sees big demand, for this new model, since it combines the appeal of the rocket -type bounding ball game with a floor space measurement of 24 by 32 inches, making it usable in many pots that couldn't accommodate the earlier shuffle -length models.

The game is played solely by pressing buttons after making skill selections. Object is to arrange and score rubber balls in score hole area three, four or five in -line, four corners, or diagonal. Scoring a "Y" formation of balls, designated In color on score hole area, earns

"super bonus." Five large buttons corresponding

to vertical lines of score holes, can be pressed to launch balls from one. two, three,_ fosse or all five roses at once. A smaller button is pressed to register in -line scores when made.

High scoring Is featured, with player getting hundreds of points for each button pressed, and top scores for racking up in -line, corner, or diagonal ball arrangements. The game nbas

Scouting Results "We got the idea for our new

Bowling Center from The Bill- board. We read about Jack Rosen -

feld's Bowlette business out in

University City, Mo., and sent our manager, Paid Bibb, there to in- vestigate. His report sounded interesting, so we decided to try it, too..

Land and Williams installed their eight brand -new ball bowling machines right over the hardwood dance floor, threw up a partition at the rear of the floor and completely repainted the building inside and out.

They also liad to have the place rewired and a mass of fluorescent lighting hung from the ceiling. "This work cost us about $1,200,' said Land. "but considering we have a whole new business operation here now, the cost was small - except for the machines."

In addition to ,the bowling machines, which are evenly spaced in one long rosy and afford plenty of room bchscen alleys, the partners have put in about 25 other types of coin-operated machines. Most of these they already had on hand. They include photos, shooting galleries, lucky charms and similar amusement machines.

"They get a pretty good play, but the main interest of our customers is bowling," Land stated.

Roomy, Bright The Bowling Center is roomy,

well ventilated and lighted brightly inside and out. A large neon sign, with a pole of flashing lights, ciriws attention to the spot.

"in the kind of operation we scant to maintain," Land explained, "yon have to keep the place clean and provide a- wholesome environment if you scant youngsters and families to patronize it. That means no drinking on the premises and strict control over drinkers to see that they don't get out of line."

Williams Boosts Area

Of Plant by One-Third CHICAGO -With a show of

strong faith in the future of the amusement game business, Wil- liams Manufacturing Company here increased its manufacturing plant area about one -third.

The space increase adds a large, well- lighted, spacious section to the regular Williams plant. The new area, an extension of the building's West Side, was fornicely leased to

another concern. A good share of the new section

will be used for engineering and development work on new coin games. Other sections of the area

are set up with machinery for increased production and mare effi- cient manufacturing operations.

Sam Lewis, Williams director of sales, said the expansion was macle possible by the top success of the Williams games produced over the past months. Lewis. said recent game models have proven "consist- ently good."

The expansion, a giant task which involved movement and re- location of tons of machinery and other equipment, was actually done over a weekend, with no loss of production time, Lewis said.

All of the Bowling Center's ball Smakev bowlers are dime -operated. A blackboard t th and the I / at the rear an in center of the line of bowling machines lists the top 20 bowlers for the week. About 25 chairs are provided for visitors overlooking the alleys.

Leagues Postponed Since Fernandina Beach pri-

marily is a summer resort, Land and Williams aren't planning to promote any league play until fall. They feel that the tourists and the vacationing school kids will give them all the business they can handle this summer.

The Bowling Center opened April 10, with city officials on hand to give it a good send -off, and thus far. has been doing "very well," Land reported. "This summer will tell the story of whether this fancily type amusement center idea will mean more business for coinmen," he added.

"My partner and I are very optimistic about it and believe that we have found the answer to our personal problem of getting a good money -maker for our otherwise unprofitable dance hall building"

Ball bowling machines in a family recreation center such as the Bowling Center here may be the answer to a lot of other coin operators' dilemmas, Land agreed.

They also may offer the sport of bowling to many communities which are too small to support regulation bowling alleys, be con- cluded.

PHILADELPHiA- Abe Wit- sen of the International Scott Crosse Company will bank heavily! on resort locations - particularly along the Jersey Shore -this spring and summer.

Witsen plans to pull a lot of Arcade equipment from farmers'' markets as soon as the hot weather sets in and place it on the resort stops. In addition, a good deal of the equipment lie had at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair will be used for the seasonal locations.

In the fall, the games go back to the shopping supermarkets, with two new farmers' markets due to open up as locations soon. Witsen said the two new !orations will account for about 150 pieces.

Exports Slow According to \\'itsen, the Euro-

pean export situation is slow. He feels that some areas have been fairly well saturated with Ameri- can games, and others, notably Germany, suffer stiff competition from games which would not be legal in most of the United States.

Witsen said that games in the Philadelphia area are doing only fair, with most operators awaiting the result of the appeal in the recent ruling barring multiple -coin games. These games, however, may be operated until the appeal ruling comes thus.
