There are plenty of smiles here as the Four Aces sign their new Decca contract. The boys who came with Decca a year ago and started right off with “Tell Me Why” as a sequel to “Sin,” the tune which brought them into the limelight, now have a new deal which calls for a considerable hike in royalties. The Aces recently released their first album of which several disks have already stepped out as singles including “Heart And Soul” and “La Rosita.” Left to right are: Leonard Schneider, vice-president of Decca; Dave Mahoney; Paul Cohen, Decca A & R; A1 Alberts; Milton Rackmil, president of Decca; Sod Vacarro; Jimmy Hilliard, A & R head of Decca; Lou Silvestri; and Herb

Just one little story before we pack Santa Claus and his reindeers off to the North Pole for another year. It seems that Lawrence H. Rogers, general manager of WSAZ, Huntingdon, W. Va., took umbrage at “Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” seeing in it an “insult to Santa Claus and the sacred occasion of Christmas” and therefore prohibited the playing of the song over its television and radio stations. The deletion of the song caused breaks in network programs. When the song came on, the station would cut the network progi'am off and play other music until the forbidden tune was completed. “Audience reaction was so overwhelmingly opposed” to the ban that the studio was forced to recind the ban. Poor, poor Santa. Even the simplest pleasures are denied him.

Larry Gentile (WJBK-Detroit, Mich.) continues to cement his position as one of the top deejays in his

area. . . . Sid Dickler (WMCK-WHOD-Pittsburgh, Pa.)

Among those who have appeared on the Morgan show are Eydie Gorme, (WJBK— Detroit, Mich.) Patti Page, Tony Bavaar, Bill Darnell, Johnny Marks, Molly Bee, June Valli, Pat Terry, Roger Coleman, and Lis,a Kirk. Morgan would like to receive any and all interviews artists care to send to him. . . . The USS Harder, the first Navy submarine in history to carry a juke-box for the entertainment of its personnel, has been offered Bill Silbert’s (WABD- Dumont) entire collection of 10,000 records for use on board ship. Brad Lacy (WKXL-Concord, N. H.) spreads The Cash Box Top Ten across his five week- day shows “The Concord Ballroom.” Lacy uses two tunes each night with numbers one and two aired on Friday night. Once a week Brad predicts the future of one of the latest releases and shops around town advise the deejay sales pick up immediately after his prognostication. . . . Hal Tunis (WMGM- New York) visited 15 schools between Thanksgiving and Christmas to talk to the students about the development of character through participation in civic and social affairs. Tunis began visiting the schools seven years ago, at that time bringing bands and entertainers with him.

^ ij: _ }}: Hs * Decca Bud Wilson (WKXL-Concord, N. H.) had himself a bit of unwanted excitement last week. While driving to work at 5:45 one morning, his car found itself_a nice little soft shoulder and went completely out of control. Wilson found both himself and the car neatly wrapped around a telephone pole. Total damage ? For the car, $275. For Bud—a cut on the head, sprained wrist, and a bruised left leg. . . . Jack Rowzie (WWDC-Washington, D. C.), who conducts the station’s all night “Night Beat” show, has set up a new seivice for loyal listeners. Rowzie will now do the homework for listeners’ children who have trouble with their lessons. Rowzie got into the sideline after a mother called at 2 o’clock in the morning complaining that she’ll probably be up all night with junior’s histoiy assignment. Jack told the mother to relax and listen to the music while he did the assignment over the air.
