Their first waxing to hit throughout the country was Leo Diamond’s harmonica arrangement of “Off Shore.” Now Leo comes through with “Sadie Thompson’s Song” which vies to be just as big as “Off Shore.” Incidentally, Leo Diamond is Abe’s brother and the two used to play the harmonica together as a duet before Abe went into the distributing business.

November 30, 1953 OFFICE OF SEN. PAT McCARRAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Senator Pat McCarran made the following statement today:

I am much concerned about the fact that the Copyright Act of 1909 contains a clause

that has grown inequitable over the years. This clause is the exemption which permits operators of coin-operated music machines—so-called juke boxes—to perform copyrighted musical works for profit without the consent of the copyright proprietor and without any compensation to him.

During the 82nd Congress, the late Mr. Bryson intrqduced in the House a bill to repeal this exemption, and to fix a fee compensating composers for the use of their music by juke box operators. A similar bill was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Kefauver.

Extensive hearings on this measure were held before a House Subcommittee of the Com- mittee on the Judiciary. Ample opportunity was given for all segments of the music industry to testify concerning the merits of the proposed legislation. As a result of this extensive testimony, the Congress had an opportunity to examine at some length both the basic principles and the economics involved.

In my view, two factors weighed against favorable action on this amendment during the last Congress. One was the fact that at that time operators of music machines were under regulation by the Office of Price Stabilization, which fixed the price of play for their machines and thus allowed

them little latitude for adjustment. Another factor was the phrasing of the measure itself, which con- tained a provision for a statutory fee.

After studying the organization and economics of this industry, which did not exist in

1909, I came to the conclusion that there is no reason why juke box operators should any longer

receive special treatment. Consequently, I introduced S. 1106 in the first session of the present Con- gress. This measure would have the practical effect of placing juke boxes on the same basis as other commercial users of music (radio, television, hotels, restaurants and the like) insofar as public per-

formance for profit is concerned, allowing these users to determine their fees by negotiation with the copyright proprietor or his agent. At the same time, the proposed legislation would continue to exempt the bona-fide owner of a single juke box.

The principle has been well established, both by the Congress and the Supreme Court, that composers and authors are entitled to just compensation for the use of their copyrighted

compositions in public -performance for profit. As each new means of communication of music to

the public developed— radio, electronic recordings, television, and the like— it was recognized that commercial users of music should compensate the creator for the profitable use of his music. Although there may have been a reason a generation ago for exempting a then negligible portion of the

music-playing industry from its business obligations, there is no longer, in my opinion, any further

equitable, legal or economic reason for doing so, especially in view of the emergence of the juke box industry as a full-fledged business enjoying a substantial return from the public performance of copyrighted music.

As to the fixing of a statutory fee, my firm belief is that under our American system it is

always better for industry to negotiate its own agreements, subject only to general principles of

law and fair practice, rather than be regulated in its every action by a governmental body,

I urge all segments of the music industry interested in this matter to meet and reconcile any

differences of opinion among themselves, in order to agree on legislation which will be fair to all.

Meanwhile, I intend to press vigorously for enactment of S. 1106 in the forthcoming session of the 83rd Congress.

NEW YORK: Another juke box poll is history and to the staff at The Cash Box it was the most exciting yet. One of the most unusual results was the battle between the Clovers and Ruth Brown for first place. Both are Atlantic artists and it is certainly a gala accomplishment for one label to top the nation’s vast army of talent with a one-two finish. And—as if these honors were not enough, Atlantic went on to place its “Mamma, He Treats Your Daughter Mean” as the second best money earner of the year, and its “Good Lovin’ ” in the number three slot. This against virtually thousands of rhythm and blues disks released in 1953 is a fabulous job. Not to be lost in the maze of honors is the finishing of Atlantic’s Clyde McPhatter & His Drifters in the number 6 slot in the “Most Promising Artists” of the year. When you consider that just a few months ago McPhatter’s group was not only unknown but not even organized —then all we can say is “Wow!” Congratulations Herb Abramson, Miriam Abramson, Ahmet Ertegun Bonnie Lou and Jerry Wexler. * * * * King 1279 Crowding Atlantic for honors was the combined Peacock-Duke companies. We combine both as they AL SAVAGE are affiliate labels under the smooth and expert direction of Don Robey and Irv Marcus.

Johnny Ace came through with other tremendous sellers ‘CHRISTMAS which IN this year, titled, “The Clock” which placed #7 and “Cross My Heart,” HEAVEN” Billy Ward placed #21 in the poll.

Willie Mabon, who hit the charts with a rush when he introduced his exciting novelty “I Don’t Know” and then followed with another hit, “I’m Mad” garnered a rash of individual honors by finishing #3 in the “Most Promising,” #4 in the “Best Artist” and #5 in the “Best Record” with “I Don’t Know.” His “Pm Mad” placed #13. Enough honors for one man? “Wow!” Congratulations Phil and Leonard Chess. * * * * * Then there’s Herald Records and Faye Adams.

They have been having a wonderful time with the Opry gang, and report the crowds have been wonderful. Some of the places they THE CASH BOX have appeared are Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Des Moines. Another big appearance for them recently was on Pee Wee King’s Cleveland TV Show, what they report they must have had a and from BOBBY MYERS fine time. For the fifth time in the short period of eight months, Porter Wagoner recently played at the big Mt. Vernon, Missouri, Tuberculosis Sanitarium The interesting fact about this is that the person to appear is selected by a poll of the patients, and Porter has been chosen five times out of eight ... a batting average of .625. More big, big news about Porter is that Cash Box Magazine’s annual Juke Box lists "STAIRWAY Operators’ Poll, published a couple of weeks ago, Porter among the eight TO “Most Promising Country-Western Artists of 1953.” A recent guest appearance for Porter was on the “Saturday Night Jamboree’ over WHB in Kansas City. We received word that Tommy Sands might be doing a new fifteen- minute show in Houston, Texas soon. The format of the show is being dis- HEAVEN" cussed now, and of course soon as Tommy gets word, we’ll have it in the column. Tommy’s latest release “Roses Speak Louder Than Words” is still bringing in lots of requests around the country. Cousin Herb Henson, ranking b/w Country music radio and TV star in Bakersfield, Calif., is happy about Capitol sales on his current release, “You-All-Come” and “I Wrote Myself A Letter.” Cousin Herb wrote the latter song, and the first has stirred up so much dust it has been covered by everybody from Bing Crosby on down. Cousin Herb has daily radio and TV shows in Bakersfield on KPMC “LORD HELP ME and KERO-TV and many of the top artists have been his guests in recent weeks. Jimmie Osborne has a new release out on King records titled “Come Back To Your Loved Ones” (My Prodigal Son). The tune was first introduced by the Broome Brothers on the BE AS THOU” Coast label backed by “He Is The Lord.” “Come Back To Your Loved Ones” is an appeal to GI’s who re- by mained in Korea with the Reds and is one of the most touching numbers of the year. On the flip side of Osborne’s new release is “You-All-Come.” Tom Browne and “Cactus Pete,” WIST, Charlotte, N. C., SLIM report that the Carol Sister’s Alexander recording of WHITMAN PEE WEE KING “Baby, Why Don’t You Stop Teasin’ Me?” is breaking loose all over town. Webb Pierce and his Wondering IMPERIAL # 8220 Boys are really packing them in during their week-long stay at the Dixie Belle Club in Detroit, Mich. Received a nice note of thanks from Hubert Long, Webb’s manager, in reference to the artist’s winning the title of the Best Folk Artist of 1953 in the recent Cash Box poll. Another “Big D” star, Charline Arthur, has been doing return engagements this past month in West Texas and part of Oklahoma. . . . Last word from Grandpa Jones was that he and “Old Rattler” were all set for a deer hunt. Grandpa has been going on these hunts for four years and still no deer. Grandpa says he hasn’t missed any . . . it’s just that he doesn’t get to shoot at them. Curtis Gordon writes that he had a wonderful time with Nelson King, Cincinnati, and wife Sally the last time they were in Nashville. Curtis’ latest release is “Where’d You Get So Much Of” and “I Just Don’t Love You Anymore.” Curtis has a brand new release that should be out by this time, and it’s titled “Tell ’Em No” and “Little Bo-Peep.” Chet Atkins fan club president, Margaret Fields, reports that Chet is holding down one of the key spots on the popularity charts in Louisville.
