welkin with the info that, following a trip
to the Windy Town, he has come back
with the exclusive operating franchise for
the Mills Panoram.
Skyfighters are still the rage. It's a
question, however, whether most operators
are taking full advantage of the psychology
of this game. Just openi ng a hole in the
wall or spotting the machine in a corner
isn't the trick. What is needed is more at·
mosphere and a backdrop of RAF planes
in dogfights plus ground battle scenes
bui lding up a pull that can't be beat. Use
a little more imagination, fellers. People
don' t eat raw meat; they like sandwiches
a 11 dressed up.
Questions have been coming in about
army camps and what operators can do
about getting games in. Uncle Sam's head·
quarters are in Washington, D.C. Any busi·
ness inquiries should be directed to the
War Department, there. However, a let·
ter addressed to Commanding Officer, Fort
Dix, N. J., will receive attention in this
area and either be forwarded to Wash ing·
ton or be answered by the district
authority.
Proof of the spirit of cooperation which
has been brought into play among local
operators is the move recently to place
the various routes of opera tors drafted into
the army into the hands of exempt men
who will maintain and work these routes
on an arrangement satisfactory to all prin-
cipals involved. Instead of trying to cut
the ground from under the other fellows,
operators now will try to preserve his
business, especially when the one con-
cerned is busy on his country's errands.
The banquet of the Amusement Board of
Trade of New Jersey is one more sign
that the Jersey boys are coming along fast.
Not only has this organization doubled in
size in one year, but it displays a force
for construction that will help the trade
everywhere. Thanks to Leroy Stein and
others of the ABT, they haven't missed
a bet.

Palm Springs Public Opinion
Ends Gambling Prosecution
PALM SPRINGS- Gambling cases in-
volving four prominent night club owners
here were dropped because local citizens
went on record as favoring gambling en-
terprises and for lack of a jury.
Operators involved were Earl Sausser,
owner and operator of the 139 Club, Al
Wertheimer of the Dunes Club and Frank
Portnoy and Jake Katleman of the Cove
Club. Charges against Sausser have al-
ready been dismissed and a motion is in
order for the d ismissal of similar charges
against Wertheimer, Portnoy and Katle-
man. The action is regarded as meaning
that Riverside County authorities will not
again seek to obtain local convi ctions on
gambling charges.
Palm Springs residents stated frank ly
that they considered gambling devices an
asset to the community and favored lax
enforcement of laws governing them. Dis-
trict Attorney Earl Redwine declared, "I
don't think it is possible to obtain such
a jury as the law requires and contem-
plates" after many prospective jurors made
it plain they considered gamblin g opera-
