The recent recognition by The Billboard, Variety and The Cash Box o/DOT RECORDS as a “MAJOR”

recording company made it truly a joyous holiday

season. We earnestly hope that in 1957 we will be

able to live up to the superlatives heaped upon the

organization in 1956.

DOT RECORDS, however, could never have grown — in this short time —from a minor to a major recording company without the aid, acceptance and confidence of the thousands of wonderful people who comprise our great industry.

To these friends, and especially to co-workers and artists in the DOT organization who have been with me since the beginning in Gallatin, Tennessee, I am forever grateful.

No. 1 project with the coming of the new year in Boston is the fight to repeal the $50 fee on music machines imposed in a new ordinance by the city council which went into effect Jan. 1. Taking up the cudgels Sunday (31) over radio station WBMS, James J. Geracos, well known music machine operator, speaking for the independent Restaurant Operators Association, said: and the “We will have another tea party in Boston! The small business man is now required to pay an extra tax for the provision of listening to mechanical entertainment. It is a tax on communications systems. Coin operated phonographs are classified in the same category as radio and television under this GREATEST ordinance because it produces sound.” Under terms of the new ordinance a fee of $50 is imposed on juke box, radio or tv in places of public assembly. Locations may have all three at the $50 fee, but if they only have one of the PHONOGRAPH systems, the fee is still $50. For juke boxes it means that each machine will cost $160 per location per year; the $50 new fee; $50 city Sunday license fee; $50 state Sunday license fee; $10 federal tax.

Prescott inaugurated the “Juke Box Survey” Satur- day (29) and plans not only to present the tunes each week but to report on their comparative position in previous weeks, whether they are on the way up 2100 or out, and if they are showing up as strongly in other parts of the nation. The ’BZ disk jock feels that the survey of juke boxes is the most accurate measurement of the current popularity of any tune since the listener is playing either a nickel or a dime for just one chance to hear the record.

Editorial: FOR A PROSPEROUS Music Operators WURLITZER

and and the GREATEST Senate Document PHONOGRAPH EVER 155 BUILT

Music operators can be very thankful to Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney (Dem., Wyo.) Chairman of the Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks and MODEL Copyrights, for so completely and carefully arranging, and having printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in convenient booklet form, the hear- ings he held relative to Senate Bill No. 590. This booklet, officially known as Senate Document No. 155, is entitled: 2100 Review Of The Evidence Relating To The Copyright Law As It Applies To Jukeboxes—In Connection With S. 590—A Bill Relating To The Rendition Of Musical Compositions On Coin-Operated Machines.” This booklet is dated, S££ n NOW AT.... November 30, 1956. This document has brought about the opportunity to carefully study the statements of counsel for the nation’s music operators and automatic phonograph manufacturers, as well as the National Licensed Beverage Assn., PEACH STATE MUSIC CO. American Hotel Assn., Record Industry Assn, of America, ASCAP, BMI, 3 OFFICES TO SERVE SESAC, MPPA, MPA, NMC, departmental reports from the Library of Con- YOU 130 gress, Department of State, Department of Justice, and all others who ap- BOULEVARD, N.E., ATLANTA, GA. (MUrray 8-4350) peared before, or presented written briefs to Senator O’Mahoney. 549 PINE STREET, MACON, GA. (3-1588) 911 GERVAIS STREET, COLUMBIA, S. C. (4-2452) It will prove most revealing to a great number of music operators to read the report of the U.S. State Department as to why this department concerns itself with the Copyright Act of 1909 in regard to juke boxes from a foreign relations viewpoint.

There is also no doubt that Senate Document No. 155 can prove of very great help in the days ahead. It is a very well arranged composition of certain FOR A PROSPEROUS views and facts which, added together, all result in the same old, old story that ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) wants royalties directly from America’s music operators. Music operators don’t have to, according to the Copyright Law of the United States, pay such royalties. That, of itself, is totally definite.

The flurry of anxiety and excitement created by the release of Senate Docu- ment No. 155, plus the statement of Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney as well as the statement of Paul Cunningham, ASCAP’s president, were well and thought- fully answered in concert by Sidney H. Levine, MOA’s legal counsellor and and the George A. Miller, MOA’s president and business manager.

There is, most definitely, no cause for alarm. Nothing has happened, as yet, to cause America’s music operators any alarm of any nature whatsoever. GREATEST All this, just as has been happening year after year after year, is but the preface to what will, in all probability, come about after the new Congress PHONOGRAPH comes into session.

There will again, without any doubt, come into being the very same, very EVER old, very tired, very worn bills, like S. 590. Similar such bills will be thrown into the huge hopper of new bills to be introduced into the Senate and into BUILT the House of Representatives of this new Congressional session.

After these bills have been introduced, after they have been carefully studied, to see if anything at all new appears in them, then, and only then, will the entire automatic music industry be again asked to weld itself into MODEL one all-purposeful, all-powerful defensive force, so as to be properly prepared to protect itself and be ready to follow whatever course will be proposed.

In the meantime, and again thanks to Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney, music operators should carefully peruse and just as carefully study Senate Docu- 2100 ment No. 155. Operators can obtain Senate Document No. 155 by writing to: The Superintendent of Documents, Washington 25, D. C., and enclose 15c with their request. SC£ tT MOW AT.... They should, after committing to memory many salient points contained in Senate Document No. 155, hang this up in a most conspicuous place in their offices where they can see it every day. They can then await the time when the news will appear for all music operators to marshall their forces and, as one strong group, defend themselves from the same old, worn and tired demand, heard by one session after another of Congress and turned down in absolute defeat by these same innumerable sessions of the Congress of the United States.

In short, the attitude all can adopt, until such time as ASCAP and/or similar such organizations sponsor new bills to be introduced into this new session of the Congress, is simply: DON’T CROSS BRIDGES UNTIL YOU COME TO THEM.
