Eltec's promotion campaign reflects the trends by German manufacturers toward the production of compact boxes priced well below the American competition. Swiss Count 11,000 Juke Boxes ZURICH - Switzerland's juke box count is now up to around 11,000, according to figures of the Verband Schweizer Automaten Aufstellern, the Swiss coin machine operator associa- tion. This gives Switzerland one of the world's heavy juke box concentration, the population being just 4.5 million. The Swiss, who have probably the world's best regulated tourist industry, have similarly developed a well- ordered coin machine trade which permits orderly development while sharply restricting un- bridled competition and disputation within the trade. The asso- ciation several years ago moved in on incessant bickering among operators and locations with a heavy hand. A "code of ethics" was drafted, to which operators subscribed and the association policed. Since then the trade bas enjoyed an unprecedented orderly development. Switzerland continues to be a favored market for American juke boxes, with imports running about 1,000 a year. Saar Ops to Arbitrate Disputes SAARBRUECKEN - Saar operators have organized a "court of arbitration" to handle intra -trade disputes in the Saar. The arbitration panel is made up of members of a "council of elders," the senior members of trade in the Saar. The trade's elder statesmen meet regularly at least once monthly with the officers of the Saar Coin Machine Operators Association. The senior members, aside from arbitrating trade disputes, advise the board on current problems. The "Council of Elders" has proved to be a highly satisfactory device for obtaining con- THE GANG'S ALL HERE.
