G. (Joe) Wilson, executive vicepresident of the Radio Corporation of America, in charge of the RCA Victor division, died here at his home Wednesday night (31) after an ilness of about four months.
Wilson was the type of big corporation executive who shunned personal publicity to a degree which is likely to leave the industry with an inadequate appreciation of the efect his death will have on such segments as the radio and television business on all levels --from manufacturing of home instruments thru broadcasting and telecasting --as well as the record business, which is still fighting its way out of the confusion created by the evolution fro m the standard 78
Wilson's death ca me as such an unexpected shock to RCA top brass that no consideration whatsoever had been given to his successor as of The Billboard's press time. Nor certainly had any thought been given to a realignment of top executive responsibilities in any facet of ti e Radio Corporation picture, either in the RCA Victor division or in the National Broadcasting Company. In the days and weeks following the exec veepee's demise. however, there is little doubt that Brig. Gen.

HOLLY WOOD, June 3.--A new switch in the packaging of radio and TV shows was developing here this week when a group of manufacturers joined in a $5,000.000 pool to bankroll the fil ming of 52 video pax and a series of wax radio shows, all to be made available for regular sponsorship as well as a theatrical feature film. The venture will feature a couple of film na mes. Guy Madison and Andy Devine, and the backers have no profit motive insofar as sale of the shows is concerned.

It is the lot of newspapermen to meet a considerable number of big men. Presidents of this and chairmen of sundry boards and vice-presidents by the bale (in show business), assorted names of large stature. It is the experience of most newspapermen that most of these big men aren't big at all. This is a piece about one who was.

Indications are that the radio-TV talent picture, Insolar as CBS and NBC are concerned, will re main relatively quiet for · while.

Fresh Methods Pay Off
NE W YORK. June 3. --Lever Bros. this week won its fight to take the Monday evening 8-8:30 slot on CBSTV away fro m Young & Rubica m and the latter'! client. Hunt Foods. The slot beca me vacant last week when International Silver. a Y. & R. account and sponsor uf Silver Theater. canceled the progra m effective at the end of the current cycle. The time is important because it precedes Arthur Godfrey's Lipton Tea show. Lipton's is a Lever subsidiary and the progra m is handled by Y. & R.
Lever Bros. had an option on the time and im mediately exercised it, but the agency entered a fir m order for Silver Theater for Hunt Foods. CBS-TV sales brass decided against Y. & R. The agency high com mand then went to higher CBS echelons, but on Friday (2i was persuaded to withdraw the gripe.
The Lever Bros. hasn't decided on the progra m for the 8 p. m. time, it may be the TV version of Amos 'n' Andy, now in preparation.
Lever now sponsors lika Chase in the Thursday 9:30-9:45 p.m. CBS-TV slot and has an option on Wednesday evening. 9:30-10. Now there is a possibility the Chase show may air after I p.m.. thus opening a half-hour for the network. This would allow CBSTV to move rhino Morris, which has bought the 10-1030 slut on Thursdays, into the 9:30 time and sell its 10-11 seg ment to Nash Motors. The Trap, with Alfred Hitchcock as producer-director, is being considered by the auto co mpany.

A merican Tobacco Co mpany (ATC) agency. The obvious fact remains that, irrespective of whether Benny is a free agent --in the sense that in buying Benny's A muse ment Enterprise, Inc., CBS bought the Benny progra m but not his personal services --the buying of time is a sponsor's prerogative. Thus the NBC-to-BBD&O-to-ATC strategy.
NBC'. TV Delivery
One major asset in NBC's favor is its record in delivering tele stations. NBC has copped a nu mber of accounts away fro m CBS on this scope, despite the progress CBS has made after its delayed blackand-white start. Luckies.

That alternate time is still open.

NE W YORK, June 3. --That the five NBC owned-and-operated television stations are now operating --as a unit --at a profit, was revealed this week by Joseph H. McConnell, president of the network. Three of the five NBC stations, McConnell declared. are responsible for the profit reported by the entire operation, first recorded in April.
Altho McConnell did not identify the two losers, It is known that they are KNBH. Holly wood. and W NB W, Washington. The latter's loss is relatively small and al most certain to be converted to profit within months. KNBH. under Its ne wly na med manager. Tom my McFadden, is now being reorganized.

Mean while, the parade of na mes to TV is starting to shape up. One net work or another.

Bergen insists on fil m because "I cannot carry Charlie on stage and destroy the illusion." He also argues that a weekly TV show will cut down audience interest and ,jnyalty too quickly. "How long would Clark Gable have lasted had he appeared at a local theater week in and week out?"

and so me of Hope's material was top quality; e.g. "Arthur Godfrey, the man who makes everybody else in radio sound like a spot announce ment."
Teeing off with the longest credit list since Ben Hur, the sho w utilized the old "back stage" gi m mick as as opener, with shirt-sleeved stagehands running around setting up props. The co median entered on the cue line, "we're ready, Mr. Hope," and in spite of so me sock monolog material, still sho wed a "walking on eggs" apprcach to TV in the initial close-ups. His ne w modesty tack is appealing, but it's not Hope and it's debatable if this personality switch will please fans who liked hi m glib and brassy. He was at his best in the skits, which he played with his old brisk assurance and deft vaude timing. The latter was particularly evident In an automat scene with Arnold Stang and Dave Burns; a local yokel bit, with canary Peggy Lee, and a stunt with Frank Sinatra la mpooning TV-carrera conscious baseball players.
Quality- wise, Beatrice Lillie was the brightest spot on the show. Her fla mboyant take-off on a feline rociety fern who fancies herself an amateur Duse and did rope tricks with a yard 'of pearls was priceless. The co medienne also scored with a slyiy satirical impression of a punch-drunk bop singer, her old "whythrn" number, and gave Hope and Sinatra a b:t assist on a zany South Sea finale, a broad take-off on the Hope-Crosby "road" flickers.
Making his TV debut, Frank Sinatra projected a great deal of warmth and boyish sincerity, indicating his video future should be a bright one. He was a trifle tense in his banter bouts with Hope, but co mpensated with a nicely restrained rendition of Co me Rain, Co me Shine. His likable manner and poise were particularly ad mirable in vie w of the highly audible swoongoons in the audience, who wheezed noisily every time he opened his mouth.
The beauteous Peggy Lee was hampered by bad make-up, but her natural good looks were still discernible and she chalked up a high rating m · sically with a lyrical vocal on witched, Bothered and Be wildered.

Broken do wn by time periods, the figures show even more clearly the jump in nu mber of sets being used, with a 2,600 per cent gain registered In the opening period, 10:30 to 10:45 a.m. In April W ABD had a .1 SIU score, but in May the two stations together hit 2.6. A 500 per cent boost was racked up fro m 10:45 to 11 a.m., where W ABD had a .7 S W in April, but the two outlets co mbined hit 3.4 in the first week of May.
Fro m 11 a. m. on, the gains were less spectacular, but fully as significant. The 1 to 11:15 a.m. period leaped from 2.2 to 3.8; the 11:15 to 11:30 slot fro m 3.3 to 4.2; the 11:30 to 11:45 period fro m 3.9 to 4.4; the 11:45 to noon seg ment increased fro m 4.3 to
4.8, and the noon to 12:15 p. m. period jumped fro m 5.2 to 5.8.
With other video outlets here likely to increase their scanning, ulti mately moving into the sa me morning hours, the nu mber of hausfraus turning on their receivers in the post-breakfast hours is likely to ju mp even more. The Pulse figures, which apply here to mornings, may be regarded as just as significant in appreciating the hyped popularity of TV in evening hours in one-station cities when a second outlet moves onto the scene.
Sinatra-Lucky Deal Rumored
HOLLY WOOD, June 3. --Recurring ru mors of a ne w Frank Sinatra sho w for the A merican Tobacco Co mpany ca me to the fore in Holy wood this week, altho those close to The Voice clai med no kno wledge of such a deal.

NE W YOR K, June 3. --Two sho ws, one A M and the other TV, both dra matizing adventures of the Treasury Depart ment's agents, are all but set on rival webs, CBS and NBC. The radio show, T- Men, is to be used by CBS as a sustainer this su m mer. NBC is trying to set a time period for Treasury Men, a tele stanza which Chrysler' is all but set to sponsor. Likely slot is 10:30 p. m., Thursdays.
The CBS radio sho w Is a web package and' features Dennis O' Keefe, while the tele stanza is a Bernard Prokter- Music Corporation of A merica deal. Both sho ws have their real inception at the sa me source, files of the Treasury Depart ment's investigators. The CBS sho w is based on the Ed ward Small T- Men fil m of a couple years back, which was made with govern ment co-operation. Ho wever, that co-operation ceased when Small Insisted on using the T- Men title, to which the Treasury execs objected. Result is that Prokter no w has access to the depart ment's files for his sho w, with CBS originating new yarns.

NE W YOR K, June 3. --CBS-TV this
week was on the verge of concluding a deal for what may be the greatest
single catalog of legit revue material
in existence. The web is concluding
negotiations with the Shuberts for rights to 35 different Broad way revues,
If acquired, the material probably will be made into a half-hour or hour revue called the Passing Sho w, after one of the most valuable Shubert titles. The Shuberts produced a year17 version of this sho w for many years, 12 such versions being included in the catalog, along with rights to the Artists and Models series. The scripts are mainly standaid sketches, music and specialty material which were perfor med by such top co mics as W. C. Fields, Eddie Cantor and Will lingers.
The Shuberts are not selling the
material, but are retaining ownership
via a rental deal, with different fees
for co m mercial and sustaining use.

Operatic tenor Carlo Carrelli, the Grandoliers Quartet and kid' canary Rosalie Alter sparked the best audience reaction. Burton and Janet's pantomi me routine on Charlie Chaplin was also a crowdpleaser, tho Burton's take-off bordered more on Groucho Marx than the little man with a cane.
The ful-stage saloon setting was surprisingly effective on a small TV screen and there were some nice atmospheric touches, i. e., a Salvation Army lass taking up a collection, while the patrons cry in their beer over A Bird in a Gilded Cage vocal.

Count Basle, Larry Green and others, and orkster Sa m my Kaye have quietly been carrying on a three-cornered negotiation to form a new booking corporation.

New hope for the realization of such an agency arose this week when Spike Jones's booking paper with the Music Corporation of America (MCA) ran out June I.

Mercury, in rebuttal, states it received a cancellation notice of the contract with Gra mophone National August 16, 1949, and that on September 23 another party entered the case and claimed to be the agent for Gra mophone.

Heidi Productions, the orkster's talent packaging firm, this week joined the ranks of indie producers signing a TV-fil m agreement with the American Federation of Musicians (AF M). The agreement calls for a royalty payment to the AF M on the basis of 5 per cent of station nightti me hourly charges for each outlet showing the fil m --apparently the going rate in the AF M-Indie packager deal (The Billboard, June 3). The Heidt contract is for one year.
The first venture for the Heidt TV package outfit will probably be the Horace HeItit Youth Opportunity Progra m, for which Heidi is on the verge of closing with Philip Morris. The progra m. Is being planned as a onceweekly, half-hour job, fil med rather than live because the show travels, locating in a different town each week.

Tire Gardens Flops
HOLLY W OOD. June 3. -- Casino Gardens' trial of opening during the
Decoration Day week-end with the hope that biz would warrant its remaining open, dropped with a dull thud. Irving Chezar, managing the Oceanside dancery for To m my Dorsey, said biz was so bad he is shuttering spot until July. Terpsery featured Jerry Wald's ork. Chezar said conditions eulicate that only na mes will attract dancers, hence he intends to book a top name attraction when he reopens the ballroo m.
Originally, Ch u n intended to operate on a week-end only policy following the Decoration Day week-end kick-off and then go to six nights a week in July. Unless conditions better, spot may operti:e entire season on weeksends only. This year marks a sharp drop in beach biz, which

He'll also cut the Bartok "Rhapsody for Piano sand Ork" and the Prokofieff "Piano Concerto No. 1," with pianist Andor Fold's. While in Europe he intends to check the bootlegging of longhair radio tapes, some of which are popping out on indie LP labels in New York.
Capitol's Wallichs Returning Fro m Europe
Glenn E. Wallichs, prexy of Capitol Records, is expected back at the diskery's Hollywood headquarters following a month's biz trip to Europe.

Both parties clai m the rights to JATP Albu ms 2, 3, 4 and 5, and various other singles and albu ms, which both Mercury and ARCO are currently selling.
MG M To Issue Selected Disks on 45 and 78

Two young American singers have been added to the Metropolitan Opera's roster. Mezzo Frances Bible, formerly of the Ne w York City Center Company, has been signed to alternate in several lead roles with Rise Steven., Barba » Troxell, a lyric soprano, has also been engaged.
Porgie Buys Rights to Two Tunes
Porgie Music last week picked up pubbing rights to the Su mmit label, "Give a Broken Heart a Chance To Cry" and -I Need You," while London Records acquired the masters. When RCA was prevented by AF M fro m tracking the music for a Como date following the warbler's sudden ilness (see separate story), Porgie got a hurry cal for a lead sheet on "Broken Heart" and the tune was cut by Eddie Fisher and Hugo Winterhalter.

No. 64--BILLY HILL
Something of a pioneer in popular music was Billy Hill. He brought the freshness of the great open spaces to Tin Pan Alley when it was surfeited with jazz and torch songs. He cut the pattern for such contemporary hits as Riders in the Siku and Mule Train when he wrote Wagon Wheels, The Last Roundup and Eihoty
for a Chinese restaurant in Salt Lake City, where he supplied music to match the rhythm of the chop sticks.
Occasionally, Billy Hill dashed off songs that sold for a low of $10 and a top of $25, one of the earliest of which was Rock-a-Bye My Baby Blues. After his band had played several Western States with alternate

chaps and 10-gallon hats are sartorially taboo --in Bostpn. July 14. 1889.
He was christened William Josenh Hill, but the moniker of Billy Hill suits him better, for if you reverse the two words, you'll have the name of the type of music to which his songs are closely akin --si mple, downto-earth, close-to-the-heart tunes that have the enduring quality of folk music.
After completing public schpol at Weymouth, Billy Hill studied violin at the New England Conservatory of Music with the intention of becoming a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The football coach at Harvard also cast covetous eyes on him for he had the weight and the physique of an All-American lineman. But when the wanderlust got the better of Billy Hill in 1916, classical music lost a promising violin
and a com mon plea. For the next two years, Billy Hill
worked as a doorman for a Fifth Avenue apartment house, but the pay was meager and the tips pitifully small, and he turned to writing songs to make ends meet. Even with the royalties these songs earned, the meals were frugal and scarcely sustaining. The dramatic story he told of the circu mstances surrounding his sale of The Last Roundup in 1933 brought tears to the eyes of the members of a congressional committee. which three years later was discussing amend ments to the copyright law in the defeat of which the Nmerican Society of Composers. Authors and Publishers was vitally concerned since its passage would have impaired the protection and income of ASCAP members.
In testifying before the committee,

But financial problems halted those negotiations, and the orkster aboutfaced to deal with General Artists Corporation (GAC).

Peace Terms On Act Status
Actors Charge Surrender
NE W YORK, June 3.--A peace bu been agreed upon between the American Federation of Musicians (AT M) and the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) after aseries of letters and a long huddle between the heads of both unions. The final pact was formalized by an agreement dated May 29 signed by Ja mes C. Petrillo, AT M head, and Gus Van. AGVA head.
Under the terms of this agreement all disputes between actors and musicians will be handled on a national level. Locals of both unions will be kept out.
Performers who use instru ments only incidentally in their act will belong to AGVA. On the other hand, musicians who do incidental acting will belong to the AI M exclusively. This will include all band leaders who sing or emsee. all cocktail units, accordionists. M.rmonica players, mandolinist'', zither players, etc.. whether they work in a floorshow or on stage.
Rejoin AGVA Non-playing vocalists shall belong to AGVA. Singing musicians who are band members shall belong to ATM. All AI M-era forced to resign from AGVA during the current dispute and who now are determined to be rightfully belonging to AGVA will be instructed to rejoin AGVA, and shall pay no reinstatement fee to AGVA. The deal was actually made between Gus Van and James C. Petrillo after a three-hour confab. In no part of the agreement, however, was any concession made to AGVA me mbers who may also hold ATM cards. to bar them from the 10 per cent traveling tax. It is this tax which has long been a major difficulty between the unions. AT M locals have decided in the past who shall belong and collected accordingly. AGVA toppers said the matter of the tax was agreed upon verbally end that "everything will work out okay."
No Legal Aid The deal was made without the benefit of legal aid by either side. Both AFM and AGVA maintained they could work out the deal without "la wyer talk." The result was that the lawyers for both sides were given the signed instrument and told this was it. (See separate story "Pe-

The full text of the agreement between the American Federation of Musicians ( ATM) and the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) is in the form of aletter from Ja mes C. Petrillo, president of the AF M, to AGVA's head. Gus Van. The letter follows: Dear Mr. Van:
The proposals that follow are pursuant to your com mittee's visit with our international executive board, and also constitute counterproposals to those made to us in the letter from your organization dated November 1. As a basis for solving our current jurisdictional dificulties, the Federation proposes that in
"(1) Any jurisdictional dispute that may subsequently arise based on the interpretation of anything in this letter, agreement diould be resolved at the top levels of both organizations. No local branch of AGVA is permitted to determine for itself who should or should not belong to AGVA or the AIM. All such questions should be resolved by the national AGVA and national ATM officers.
"(2) Members of the American Federation of Musicians who perform as an act, and, during the course of that act, do not play an instrument, will not be required or requested to resign from AGVA. This has reference to performers who may act as musicians one day and perform as musicians the next. etc. In either case, the activities of the Individual are confined to the one classification --either performer or musician. This type of performer would be privileged to belong to both organizations, and to operate under the contracts of the respective organization having jurisdiction over the type of work being done at the moment.
"(3) Instru mentalists, whose performance consists in the main of instrumental playing, and who may incidentally do some acting or emseeing belong in the jurisdiction of the ATM. All band or orchestra leaders belong in the jurisdiction of the ATM, including those who act as emsees or vocalists, or give any other type of performance while acting as. leaders of bands or orchestras.
"All instrumentalists, including cocktail units, accordionists. mouth organists, mandolinists, guitarists. xylophonists. zither players. etc., who play instrumentally exclusively, whether on stage, in a floorshow. In the spotlight or anywhere else, solo or with a group. shall not become members of AGVA. and must belong only to the ATM.
"(4) Actors whose performance consists mainly of acting, singing and dancing, etc., and who may incidentally, during a small portion of the act, play an instrument, properly belong in the jurisdiction of AGVA.
"(5) In both of the above cases, the performers or musicians, as the case might be, must use the contracts issued by their respective organizations.
"(8) Non-playing vocalists traveling with a band or orchestra belong in the jurisdiction of AGVA. However, singing musicians who are members of and play with a band or orchestra, shall not become members of AGVA, and must belong only to the ATM.
"(7) Members of the AT M who were constrained to resign from AGVA during the current dispute, and who are now determined to be rightfully belonging In the jurisdiction of AGVA pursuant to Paragraphs 1and 8 of this letter, will be instructed to rejoin AGVA. and should not be required to pay a reinstaternent fee.
"(8) In order to avoid endless controversy, both the AT M and AGVA agree that they wiil make every effort to review all acts whose jurisdiction is in controversy and to classify them as either belonging to one or the other organization, or both, and that after this Is done, a classification will be issued to the act, attesting to the jurisdiction in which the act pripperly belongs.
"(9) Concessions agreed to by the AT M and AGVA in this letter agreement are not to be construed as setting a precedent, nor should they be considered as prejudicial to any rights the ATM or AGVA have with respect to their jurisdictions granted to them by the American Federation of Labor.
"(10) 'You have assured and guaranteed us that your executive committee, which includes the president and executive secretary, has authority and power to enforce this agreement insofar as AGVA Is concerned. We have your assurance also that you will keep strict control over your branches so that they do not take action on their own with respect to any provision of this agreement.
"(11) This agreement may be terminated by either party giving the other 80 days' written notice of such ter mination."
These proposals are submitted in an honest effort to once and for all resolve this dispute. If these proposals meet with your approval, your signature indicating your approval at the bottom of this letter will constitute this a binding agreement.

The East Side rooms average from fair to poor. In some cases it was insufficient advertising, according to informed sources. In other cases it was the holiday that kept them away. Spots like the Ruban Bleu, Blue Angel, Versailles and the hotel rooms, Pierre, Plaza and Waldorf. did only fair. In most cases ope said that regulars were out of town for the long week-end and what drop-ins there were, were smell.
The vaude-flick did well fturday and Sunday, with the Mus..: Hall and the Para mount way up front. The other theaters did okay but all of them went down Monday. 7..e Tuesday holiday, with its sunny skies, kept them outdoors.
Probably the hardest hit were the resort spots. Week-end shows booked were canceled on a minutes' notice when the rains washed out customers. In some cases bookers who issued contracts were held responsible, but in most instances lobs were arrang -d on · verbal basis. so actors were merely told the dates were of.
Chicago cafe biz was big over Saturday and Monday but, as a result of the holiday week-end, it dropped off during the subsequent week.
CINCINDiATI, June 3.-- With many Cincinnatiana hitting the outdoors for the long holiday week-end, local theaters and niteries experienced the usual slump. Percentage-wise, the dip was no greater than in other years.
The night spots in Kenton County, Kentucky, just across the Ohio River from here, suffered the least. With the gambling heat si on In Use adjoining Ca mpbell County, clubs there felt little of the holidays slump, as biz was already bad. Only Beverly Hills Country Club, with Ted Lewis on deck, held to something approximating normal business.
With the Campbell County gaming edict shooing much of the flush trade to the Kenton Count spots, ope there continue to prosper, with the Lookout House garnering the lion's share of the play.

SEATTLE, June 3.--Palomar Theater here goes dark for three weeks June 5. Reason for move Is installation of pushback seats and new floors. Flesh policy starts again June 211 with a bill featuring Gene Krupa. The Count Basie outfit has been scheduled tentatively for the week of July 3.
Altho no figures were quoted. Norm Bobrow. of Sterling Theaters promosh department, said that the weekly vaude policy with a headliner has proved more biz-hep than the regular five-act, no-big-na me booking policy. Under the new plan top price is a buck, compared to 89 cents under the old scheme.

A m ulti- barreled opening jammed the room so badly that confusion prevailed, much of it attributed to the various gimmicks the management had cooked up to celebrate · Turn of the Century motif.

The supper mob, backed up in the outer lobby, made it a bedlam.
The Waldorf is a class spot, .r.d giveaway gimmicks and door prizes are not for ultra spots like it. A show combo of Guy Lomba do and Vic Damone should be strong enough on its own. If it isn't, then dcar prizes won't help. The il feeling around by absence of tables reserved

(Continued from page 3) by the committee's decision yesterday to tighten up on that levy. The committee several weeks ago had tentatively voted to cut the cabaret levy to 10 per cent yesterday but, on voting to cut instead to 15 per cent, the committee brought into the open a conflict that has been seething backstage for days on this levy.
A committee spokesman said that altho the com mittee's latest action is considered as final, so far as the committee itself is concerned, there is no certainty that the measure may not again come up for reconsideration before the com mittee discharges a final bill to the House floor. The committee has been working every day for weeks on the tax bill, and there is still a lot of work to be done on other levies. It is doubtful if the com mittee can wrap up the bill within two weeks, but this nevertheless is the group's objective.

to go around. The Desert Inn, El Rancho, Fla mingo, Last Frontier and Thunderbird change shows about every two weeks. With each house demanding 26 names per year, the strip must have 130 headliners annually. Ops feel its tough to find that many good acts now, and shudder at the prospect of new spots dipping into the shallow talent pool. With the opening of each new class room in recent years, the talent problem has become increasingly critical. First hotel was El Rancho Vegas. which opened in 1941. This was followed a year later by the Last Frontier. The $6,000,000 Flamingo opened three years ago.

dismissal of the government's antitrust action in answers tiled in U. S. District Court Wednesday (31).
The Shuberts, in their defense, claim that the suit is barred from prosecution because the acts com-
plained of by the govern ment, If they gave rise to any cause at al, were committed over six or 10 years ago. The Shuberts further claim that the business of producing legitimate attractions is not trade or commerce within the scope of the Sherman or Clayton anti-trust acts, since the presentation of a legitimate production is a transaction that is substantially local in character.
In another defense, the Shuberts, denying allegations of the government's suit filed February 21, claim that their alleged acts have not linposed any unreasonable restraints on interstate trade or com merce, have not resulted in any exclusion of competition, have not been in furtherance of a conspiracy to monopolize. and have not been in furtherance of or in rombination to efectuate a monopoly, but have only served as protection in accomplishing legitimate com mercial purposes.
They also claim that the chaotic economic conditions which have prevailed during the past 20 years and are presently prevailing in the legitimate theater business have forced them to reduce and limit their activities, rendering impossible any attempt by them to monopolize or impose any ilegal restraints.
The Shuberts claim that the years prior to the depression found the theatrical husiness in an unsound condition attributable to an oversupply at theaters, a lack of desirable legit productions to keep them running on a profitable buis, and a decline on the road. In early years, they claim, the booking, both in metropolitan centers and on the road, was mainly carried on by the Shubert,' and the Erlanger interests. They argue that the efect of the depression on business in general and on the Shubert Theater Corporation in particular, threatened to force them into receivership. The receivers, it is claimed, concluded that the the-

early shuttering. Even the quality of tryout attractions--and Philadelphia is still rated primarily a tryout town --showed a slump. A goodly number of tryouts failed to take local heed and tripped early on Broadway, but some others decided they might as well cal it quits here.
While the 1948-'49 season was considered the low, and there were hopes that the hu mp had been hurdled, the fact that 1949-'50 dipped even lower doesn't augur well for the coming year. With television and other entertain ments making a grandstand play for patronage, legit will never be able to rest on past laurels.
As a matter of fact, this marked the fourth successive year, with four legit temples available (all operated by Shubert interests), that there has been a constant decrease in the number of attractions coming into -the city. From the season's belated opening last September 26 with Touch and Go to the Peep Show, which opens Monday (5) at the Forrest Theater and is practically a postseason offering, the 1949-'50 stretch brought in only 40 attractions of all shapes, sizes and smells.

As black as the legit picture here might be. It is remembered that it was even bleaker in depression years. In a single season, the number of shows fell to 31 --a year when there was no television or talkies. The peak was 125 attractions.
Indicative of the lack of interest is the fate of tryouts, with the public holding on to their dollars in the face of a long string of turkeys. Last year, out of 24 tryouts, 10 entrenched on Broadway.

wake of final hearings this week on the Johnson Bill to restrict interstate shipment of gaming devices, spokes men for the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Com mittee declared that proposed amend ments to exempt outdoor showbiz from the bill's restrictions "are continuing to get serious study." (See story in Coin Machine section).
Among major proposed amendments under study Is one ofered last month (The Billboard, May 13) by Herbert W. Bye, representing the Railroad Show Owners' Association. Others included proposals by Harry J. Batt, president of the National Association of Amusement Parks, Pools and Beaches, and Dow W. Harter, attorney for Toy Manufacturers of the U. S. A., Inc.
Bye's .mendment proposed to define machines to be banned along the same line as used by the Internal Revenue Bureau in describing machines on which the $100 gaming tax is to be collected. His amendment would further limit the definition of "gambling devices" by emphasizing that the term refers solely t gaming machines.
The question of exempting outdoor show-type equipment did not recur in the anal two days of hearings this week. There were no requests by outdoor show folk to make further appearances beyond those already made in the sessions last month.

W ILLIAM BOYD, as Hopalong Cassidy, is riding high again. But the role
" hasn't always meant bank roll. Boyd Is back in the saddle beca me of a hefty helping of a New England writer's vision, plus effective ideas and a tenacity all his own.
Boyd, the star and part-owner of Cole Bros.' Circus. Is the hottest kids' attraction in television, the biggest na me lure in circus business, the most
potent factor in kids' merchandise tie-ins, acomic strip and comic book sub-
ject, and a power in radip. And he is poised for a return to motion pictures.
This is a far cry from the Bill Boyd of two years ago. Then he was as
flat busted as yesterday's Hopalong Cassidy balloon. A movie has-been, he had mortgaged his ho me and car and had spent his ravings, a reported $350,000, on a comeback ga mble via television. Just when the gamble ap-
peared lost, his fortune turned. His old movies, spotted on TV. caught on, their popularity soared, and he galloped to the top in video ratings. His TV success sent him to the heights in other fields.

Venice Lake Park bowed here Tuesday (30) with a previe w of its 5 major.
4 kiddie rides and 9 concessions A free water carnival was featured and
drew a crowd that exceeded expectations, Earle Charleston, business man-

previe w gave some of the ride operators their first money. A mong them

Legal Tangles Straightened Prices are ai med at the fa mily trade. Charleston said. Rides are 9 cents for kids and 20 cents for adults, with the exception of the pony ride, which is 25 cents. According to Clifford Enger. for mer Austin. Minn., municipal judge and now me mber of the law firm of Enger h Hiller, the fir m had to unravel many legal entangle ments to get the park in operation. Some of these were nbt in order until recently, which forced the park crew to work fast to get the amusement area open even for the preview.
Several projects, including the installation of a Skooter and I MerryGo-Round, will soon be co mpleted. Negotiations for the ride are now under way. The boat ride pool has been co mpleted.
New Whirls. nd Venice Lake features the new Whirlwind, a ride designed and made by To m Wade. Using cylindrical cars that carry 48 kids or 32 adults, the ride is driven by two propellers powered by 10 h.p. motcrs. Jack Wade, who helped build it, is also on the ride. The Sky Ride, a rocket ship affair, is also operated by the Wades. Don Sinkinson with Henry (Whitey) Hardy has the Tilt-a- Whirl, which was brought here after five months at Virginia Park in Long Island. Kissane has two Carter A. Morehart trains and uses two tracks. On the ride with hi m are Fern Kissane. Ray Willia ms. Charlie Organ and Oscar Vogen. John Clark. with Frieda Clark as cashier, has the Little Dipper.

SACRA MENTO. June 3. --The fourday Decoration holiday cut into Clyde Beatty Circus business. However, up to that time for 10 performances the show had had two capacity and -five good houses.
Playing the Stockton area Wednesday (24). the show pulled a good matinee but a poor evening crowd. Rich mond the following day gave the show a capacity matinee and a satisfactory night attendance. At Vallejo, where the weather was warm, there were top houses for both shows. Napa, Saturday (27), turned out to fil both performances. The slackening for the holidays started the next day when both shows in Petaluma were light.
In Napa Beatty gave its second parade of the season with the Circus Fans Association, under Clyde Brown, Western vice-president, co-operating. CPA's sent out releases to newspapers and radio stations telling of the big to-do in advance of the date. John and Dave Cavagnero entertained
Jake and Jack Mills reported that they've been getting money all the way and their coming month's tour of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan is expected to maintain the pace. Along with the business has come a higher nut for the well-populated progra m. But Jake, justifiably enthused about the show, and Jack, repeating that "you've got to give the folks a good performance," feel that they have the right co mbination.
Their two-month-old season has
several newly imported acts, including talent from South Africa, Switzerland, England and South America. Clowns show they have put some effort in devising make-up. There is a more than adequate display of horseflesh and the augmented elephant line-up helps. One bull, Trilby, was back after a tooth-pulling ordeal at Gary.

CROOKSTON, Minn, June 3. --Attendance for King Bros.' Circus took a sharp drop as the show moved thru Northern Minnesota on its way to Canada. Weather and farm work kept many folks :way.
The org drew two one-quarter houses here Monday (29). The show
will go on the pay roll late in the season to break seal acts for the 1951 trek, he said.
Mills continues to play under auspices, a field in which it pioneered for tented orgs. Sponsor here was Kiwanis Club. Phone promotion and club contacts are keys to the setup, which helps turn out the biz. Billing was light here and what was done played the Ki Wallif group over the show's own title, a practice which was carried thru in pitching the "Ki wanie Circus In Revue" booklet during the come-in.

CHICAGO, June 3. --Business in the Midwest area held up well during the long Decoration Day week-end, altho rain and threatening weather were reported by many in a survey of operators.
Business at most places hovered close to the 1949 level. Attendance estimates showed that most parks drew as many people this year as last. Per capita spending, while down in a few places, was up in more spots and remained about the sa me in most.

The per capita spending is holding up at the Balboa Fun Zone on Balboa Island, Al Anderson, park operator, said. A foggy and'cold week-end preceding Tuesday kept attendance down and this was reflected in grosses. However, Anderson declared that per capita spending is on a par with 1949. If the section gets good weather, the take for the year will be satisfactory, he stated. Balboa has four rides and operates fishing, speed and excursion boats.

Of the initial issue, 4,000 were mailed to clubs and organizations, 2,000 to the Cha mber of Com merce and the remainder placed with travel agencies and hotels.
Murphy said the ride was bought from Franz Stirni mann in Sweden. It had been on location in Europe and at Golden Gate International Exposition, San Francisco.

Co-Owner Issy Cetlin was severely injured here Monday morning (29) when struck by a car which, reportedly, ran thru a red light. At the New Castle Hospital Cetlin was reported to have received a brain concussion and multiple cuts. Altho his condition was reported improving, Cetlin will undergo a series of examinations before being released.

In view of the good holiday business here, this date could be a big winner. Holiday attractions included a fire company parade, which ended on the show's midway, and a fireworks display at night.

N. J., has been playing to fairly good business below the Mason-Dixon line, despite considerable inclement weather. Joe Prell reported here this wek.
While considerable rain has been encountered as the org moved north, the clear nights have at least been warm, Prell said. As a result, when clear weather prevailed, patrons stayed on the lot and spent freely.
Charlottesville, Va.. was one of the best dates played. Org opened there with a paid gate of 4,000 and drew a Saturday night closing crowd of 6.500. Two dates were played in Richmond and both were good. Fayetteville, N.

Prell was here to iron out final details fnr a two-week engagement, beginning June 12, at Forest Hill, L. I., N. Y. Location is on Queens Boulevard, main Island artery, and Prell said the stand looms as a red one, even tho it is located in New York City and playing costs are tremendous.

BALTI MORE, Md., June 3. -- An amendment empowering the local police department with the right to veto carnival per mits has been proposed for incorposation in a new carnival ordinance pe siting in the city council. Bill would transfer from police department to the city building inspector's ofice the duty of issuing such permits.
Grand Juror's Association recently attacked the bill, saying that it would assign to politicians the right of granting permits. The ordinance would restrict the use of public highways by carnivals to that part of the road immediately adjacent to the non-profit institution sponsoring the org's stand.
Carnival permits would be subject to the approval of the police commissioner, chief of the fire department, city highway engineer and the building inspector. Prior to present administration, issuance of carnival permits depended upon the mayor's ofice. Following his inauguration, Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro had city council enact an ordinance transferring the duty to the police
died Monday, May 29, at St. Mary's Hospital, St. Mary's, Pa., of head injuries received Sunday, May 28, when a truck he was driving overturned.
At the time of his death Cavanaugh was ass ociated with Frank (Shri mpie) Rappaport in operating concessions with Mickey Percell's Pioneer Shows. Accident occurred due to bad road conditions at Driftwood, Pa., while the org was en route to Johnsonburg. Pa. Cavanaugh was exa mined by a local doctor and ordered to St. Mary's Hospital, 18 miles away, where he died.
Cavanaugh entered outdoor show business with Sa m Pre], and had been associated with Rappaport for the last 10 years. He is survived by two sisters, Margaret M. Cavanaugh and Mrs. Bernard Killiard: and two brothers, Joseph W. and Francis B. Cavanaugh.
Funeral services were held by members of Pioneer Shows at Driftwood following his death. Funeral arrangements also were made by the Sa mpson Funeral Horne of Springfield, Mass. Burial was in the family plot at Calvary Cemetery, Chicopee, Mass., Friday (2).

All units of the org were functioning from the opening day of the stand, and show personnel reported good takes for the week. Loral Veterans of Foreign Wars unit, with committee headed by Lloyd Goldberg, extended all possible co-operation.
The Irvington Herald-Review gave the shows a good press, devoting a page of pictures to the org and anumber of stories. Two new light towers for the midway have been completed and are in operation.

W. G. Wade Biz At Early Stands
Close to 1949
DETROIT, June 3. -- W. G. Wade Shows returned here Monday (29), opening for the holiday week at the south end of Pontiac, under CIO auspices. This marked the 10th consecutive year for Wade on the sa me lot under the same auspices. Weather was favorable but attendance was down from last year.
Wade business, since opening, has been not far under that for the seine period last year altho weather hurt the two weeks prior to the Pontiac stand. Shows opened for mally March 16 with a few rides on Livernois A·enue on Detroit's west side, but moved to Springfield, O., for the official opening April 20, under auspices of Veterans of Foreign Wars. There, as.at Fort Wayne, Ind., which (allowed for the American Legion Post, rain and mud kept patronage down.
Shows enjoyed a good pick-up at the next stand, Jackson, Mich., where it played inside the old prison walls. Patrons were required to go thru a couple of doors and the high guarding walls of the institution to reach the lot in the prison yard. Date was under sponsorship of the Army Battalion Fund. Stands at Kala mazoo for the American Legion Post, 12th in a row for this sponsor, and for the Paper makers' Union at Port Huron, preceded Pontiac.
Wade has added a Rock-o-Plane and Looper this year and installed a new Caterpillar Diesel light plant, using 2,100 kilowatt units. Both are mounted on a single se mi. Chro me tri m has been used extensively on this unit.
Midway, as laid out at Pontiac, was generally quadrangular, with a diagonal midway across the center and every inch of ground utilized.
Shows move fro m here to Ann Arbor, then Battle Creek after which :hey play six weeks in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. before starting a route of fairs that will take the m thru Indiana and Ohio.

no w the bora has kept m uni on his fa me-and-fortune story. Today he released the m uch-looked-for info after m uch persuasion. Here it is, as told by Pete Ballyhoo:
"During the winter of 1932, with m y bride of three weeks, Spindle Lou. I trouped with an out-of-doori and out-of- money mid way in Florida The sho w had be et rained out for two weeks, and thru popular de mand of its m anager's bankroll we were held over for a third week at Orange Pulp, Fla. On a Sunday night m y .vife i.nd I were playing stud on the bed for m atches. It was a war m night, so we left the door open to get a breath of air. As we were both great tobacco che wers, m y wife, w ho is · neat tviusekeeper, placed the cuspidor in the middle of the bed to avoid splattering the walls and floor.
" Another roo mer tapper.ed to w alk by the oren door and, seeing the cuspidor bet ween us on the bed, rtop -I to m ooch a che w of scrap. Seeing the ga me in progress, he invited hi mself in, and to m ake the ga me interesting im mediatly raised the ante fro m m atches to nickels. During his short stay, the stranger kept cracking, w hile looking at his watch 'I've checked out and don't want to miss m y train. It leaves in 40 mi, utes.'
"Luck was with m e. By train ti me I was in his 810,000 bill for $3.85. W e had no change for such a large bill, and being in a hurry to catch the train he le ft the 10 G note with us with instructions to send the change to hi m. Ho wever, he left in such a hurry that he forgot to leave his
address. W e never heard fro m him
again. Because the ra m) was 1-
self by investing in sho w equip ment. The ans wer is yes and no. W e held the 10 G note for several days. expecting hi m back. W e often thought of getting it changed. Every footstep on the stairs hurried us to the door to see if he had returned so we could give hi m his dough. On Saturday m y wife decided that we w ould get it changed.
" Not kno wing anybody in the to wn
who could identify us at the bank, we decided to give it to the sho ws' manager and let hi m get it changed at the bank by being identified by a co m mittee man.
"Our manager ble w with the 10 G note, leaving his sho w on the lot. Tj et's w hen I took over. W e had to seley over another week. The weather 'geared and we m oved.

ernment." J. Bond Smith, a Wa hington lawyer, representing the Hamilton Manufacturing Company, salesboard manufacturers of Minneapolis, asked the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee Thursday (1) to make certain that salesboards are not included in the legislation.
Smith reminded the com mittee that nth° a Department of Justice spokesmen at eerier sessions el the hearing (The Billboard, May 13) had testified that the Johnson ell was not intended to include salesboards, the Federal Trade Commisalon's spokes. mirs nevertheless had recommended that the bill be broadened specificaly to include salesboards. Smith then went on to cite court decisions, attorney generals' opinions and other findings to show that federal legislation of this nature is contrary to the constitution and would invite "confusion."
Smith's scholarly presentation of his subject in a heavily-authenticated brief consisting of 24 printed, singlespaced pages drew praise from three of the committee members when he concluded his remarks.

Brothers had declared the FTC could not do.
Smith, who himself was associated with a federal agency which later beca me the FTC and who subsequently served as an attorney in the post office department prior to entering private practice in the nation's capital, described the history of sales-
boards as "a system of advertising and selling merchandise."
He said "the boards have been used for that purpose for over 40 years. The small merchandise manufacturer and the small retailer need that method of advertising to build up their businesses and to meet the competition of their big competitors, who have within their financial reach means of advertising not within the financial reach of the small manufacturers or retailers, such as magazine and newspaper space, billboards and the radio."
Commercial Benefits As examples. Smith cited how a neighborhood retailer can use a salesboard to offer a "fair chance" to customers to win acandy bar or other article of merchandise. The chance is ofered free, and if the customer fails to win "he is no worse off than he would have been if the board had not been on the counter," Smith said The board sti mulates trade and attracts customers, he said. Similarly, a manufacturer who wants to Introduce a new line of candy or some other new line ot goods can make arrangements with retailers along a similar course. Smith said. He went on to paint out that "some big competitors"' sought to stop that advertising and selling method after its use for many years. and the FTC "relied on the testi mony (See Attorney Hits on page 100)

A Clean Grill!
A clean machine always makes ore money! One of the outstanding features of the "C" is its new plasti grill, fresh as asunny morning, new as the next
tick of your watch. Take aswipe at it with ada mp cloth and ifs as clean and bright as the day it was shipped fro m the factory. How different fro m the old fashioned grill cloth that collects dust and dirt and advertises the age of the machine like gray hairs on the hu man head!
If any "C" grill louvers ever need replace ment, they can be installed inexpensively and with great ease and speed. This clean, plastic grill is the only one on any modern juke box Without a clean grill you simply can't have a clean machine!

Map Opposition To Pa. Drink Tax
PHILADELPHIA, June 3. - The Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor is preparing an al-out effort for the repeal of the State soft drink tax law. The de mand was expressed originally in one of several resolutions adopted at the closing session last week of the federation's 48th annual State convention in the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.
The resolution, submitted by Local 249 of the Tea msters' Union, set forth that the tax threw hundreds of workers out of lobs In the bottling industry and allied crafts. The tax was attacked as discriminatory and "economically impossible" for the bottler or merchant to absorb.
James L. McDevitt, president of the State federation, described the soft drink levy as a "nuisance tax."
The soft drink levy, adding a penny to every nickel bottle, has effected the bottling and vending fields alike. Morris Levy, president of the Sweetie Beverage Company here and presi-

Production on New Conversion
CHICAGO, June 3. -- M & T Sales, after introducing its new Speed Bowler conversion at the AC M MA show here last week, announced this week that the unit, which now features clearly marked strike zones and further ani mation on the backboard, Is in production and deliveries are being made. Ted Rubenstein, firm president, said that due to the results obtained at the al-industry show, the production schedule for the conversion had been stepped up.
One of the most colorful units at the Peoria cha mpionships was the wo man's tea m representing Chuck's Tiny Lodge, Midlothian, Ill., in the cushion title session. Captained by Bobbie Cavallini, this unit arrived in Peoria early Saturday (V) and won the cha mpionship later that night with only two hours of sleep. Other players on the Tiny Lodge tea m were May Lash, Gladys Stork. Ann Braden. Irene Shre fler and Jean Connally. All ere employees of the location and Miss Connally is the organist there....

Covideo also has a $60-a-year service. The locally made sets use RCAlicensed equipment.

Officers for '50 The "Sphinx" told The Billboard
about each of these developments, yet indicated talk of his im minent retirement is pre mature. Asked if it would be "in about a year," he indicated it would.

Ha m mond read to the com mittee a resolution of the Mid western regional HAAG adopted in Chicago, May 19, in which sub-group en-
dorsed 'in principle" the JohnsonPreston bill and urged "passage of adequate legislation of this sort."
"Why 'adapted'?" he wanted to know. The Justice Depart ment representative replied that adapted machines were put into the restricted class to take care of pinballs to which a pay-of mechanis m has been added.

He pointed out there is no machinery specified in the language to cover Maryland where four counties per mit consoles, while the others ban the m. He further co m mented it might be better to have the State Legislatures make the certification. "Mao," said Ha m mond, .;there is no provision for de-certifing --if there is such a ter m." He went on to say a certain machine might be legal at one time and so be certified and then later the Legislature might reverse itself and vote to ban the nuchine. "What do we do then?" he asked, rhetorically. Before the Maryland attorney general left the stand, Wolverton got back to the point he has made during his questioning of nearly all witnesses on the legislation. "Suppose Congress raises the excise tax substantially on slot machines, wouldn't that help?" "It's an idea," com mented Ha m mond.

MEN!
Once every week 15,000,000 men--
American men go to their respective clubs to enjoy a little fun and relaxation. Club night is a big thing in the hearts of these men who belong to either a patriotic, civic or fraternal group. These clubs are the bulwarks of the Nation, astronghold in whose quarters exist no "ism" but Americanism, the cradles of democracy, the shrines of freedom and the homes of
good samaritans. Charity istheir foremost thought--to ease the pain of the sick, to knit the bones of the crippled, and to assist the needy, to provide food and medical care for orphaned children and to give scholarships to the deserving. To do all these worthy things, the one great remedy is -- MONEY! To that end it has been the proud duty of the Bell machine to furnish needed revenue in immeasurable millions of dollars a year.
