Waring Ends
10· Year Holdout
NEW YORK-Fred Waring has capi-
tulated. Not in ten years has his band re-
corded because of the leader's belief that
the making of phonograph records was
detrimental not only to his band but to all
performing artists. Middle of December,
however, it was announced tbat he had
signed a contract with Decca under which
most of the output will be issued in album
form with his famous glee club heavily fea-
tured, as well as the organization's battery
of vocal soloists.
Early in the 1930's, Waring became a
leader of the National Association of Per-
forming Artists, an organization which con-
tended that an artist sbould hold the vested
rights in recordings and should be able to
control their use. He argued that a leader,
making discs, simply "competed with him-
self."
Increased popularity of records in private
homes, coin operated phonographs and es-
pecially on radio stations throughout North
America and the inability of artists to con·
trol thei; use, finally whipped Waring down,
and h" signing with Decca came unex-
pectedly in the trade. Waring and his
aggregation were the last "hold-outs" from
wax. The band last recorded for Victor. •
AOLAC Joins
SheriU's Group
LOS ANGELES - On December 26th,
Captain George Contreras, of the Los An-
geles County Sheriff's Anti-Subversive De-
tail, requested the aid and assistance of the
Associated Operators of Los Angeles
County relative to subversive matters. Said
Contreras: "I want to assure you that your
past cooperation with this department has
been deeply appreciated, and if you feel
as though you would allow your organiza -
tion to work along with us, kindly let me
know."
To which Curley Robinson, AOLAC sec-
retary replied: "This association takes full
cognizance and is most sympathetic of the
work being done by your Detail and is
most grateful, appreciative, and honored
that the privilege has been afforded us to
cooperate with your Department. We hereby
pledge our wholehearted support and co·
operation of any and all things desired of
us as an organization and as individuals." .
CAMDEN, N. J.- In an annual poll just
cQmpleted to determine outstanding radio
performers of 1941, 23 RCA Victor artists
took first, second, or third honors in 14
different entertainment divisions. Under the
sponsorship of Motion Picture Daily, na-
tional film publication, more than 600 news-
paper radio editors and columnists in the
U. S. and Canada participated and voted
Bob Hope radio's outstanding performer of
the year. Hope has just signed with Victor
to record some of his many works.
Also voting the three outstanding per-
formers in the various entertainment divi-
sions, the newspapers' 600 placed Dinah
Shore, exclusive RCA Victor recording art-
ist, second as the "Season's Outstanding
New Star." Only singer in the group, Dinah
has two national singing radio shows.
Swingsters Glenn Miller and Tommy Dor-
sey polled first and second in the dance
bands division, with Wayne King and
Sammy Kaye placing two and three as
sweet men. Kenny Baker and Lanny Ross,
RCA Victor stars, polled second and third
among male popular singers (guess who
was first?) , with Dinah Shore heading "the
feminine contingent.
Beyond winning championship honors,
Bob Hope placed first as comedian, second
as master of ceremonies, and third for
variety shows. Abbott and Costello polled
third among top comedy teams; like Hope
they have signed to record some of their
funnier work for Victor.
Rudy Vallee, whose "Surprise" series of
humorous records are still best-sellers,
polled second in the variety program di-
vision.

OPM Puts Ceiling

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An OPM order
has been issued by Leon Henderson fixing

ufacturers of cigarettes. The ceiling can-
celed a scheduled increase of one cent per
package in the wbolesale price of Lucky
Strikes announced before the first of the
vear.
- The formal price ceiling fixes the maxi-
mum manufacturers' prices on all brands at
the December 26th level.

Jersey Musicmen
At Annual Banquet
~
NEWARK, N. J.-When the date was set
for the annual banquet of the Phonograph
Operators Association of New Jersey, no
one had any idea it would be a historic day.
But because the affair came on December
7, a number of members remained at home
to hear radio reports of the hours-old war
with Japan.
Nonetheless, over 400 people turned out
at the Top Hat in Union City, among them
•• presentatives of all the manufacturers and
distributors and many from the allied coin
machine industry. Music for the affair was
furnished by Carl Hoff and his orchestra,
featuring the Murphy Sisters and AI Noble.
Dinah Shore, Vaughn Monroe, Barry Wood,
Irv Carroll and Linda Park were among
the entertainment artists appearing.
Speaking on behalf of all members of the
Association, Harry Pearl asked that every
one cooperate by buying Defense Bonds and
Stamps.

CHICAGO-Permo Products Corp., man-
ufacturers of the Permo Point for coin
phonographs, recently made a donation of
Standard Permo Point needles to the U. S.
Armed Forces for use in automatic record
players in army recreation rooms.
In acknowledgment, Brigadier General
F. H. Osborn, Chief of the Morale Branch
writes as follows: "This will acknowledge
receipt of the package of 300 Standard
Permo Point Needles. It is very gratifying
to learn of your gift of this material for
use of the men in the armed forces in oul-
lying bases. The gift will contribute sub-
stantially to the contentment and well-being
of the men serving our country in isolated
locations. I am sure these men will be
deeply appreciative."
Permo Products is busy in its part of
defense work in the manufacture of Permo
Pivots for use in various instruments for
airplanes, boat compasses, etc.

AU LAC Adopts
Aid Resolution
LOS ANGELES-Indicative of the effec-
tive cooperation rapidly spreading to sim-
ilar groups throughout the nation, the As-
sociated Operators of Los Angeles County,
Inc_, on December 10, adopted the following
resolution addressed to the Governor of the
State and the Sheriff of the County:
"Whereas, Our Country is now engaged
in a war to defend our form of government,
our institutions and our most dearly prized
possessions against a treacherous and cow-
ardly attack by one of the totalitarian na-
tions while pretending to negotiate peace,
and
"Whereas, His Excellency, Culbert L
01s6n, Governor of the State of California,
has declared a state of emergency to exist
in the State, because of the great import-
ance and the proximity of our national de-
fense industries to the actual theater of
war, and
"Whereas, in order to defend ourselves
against such unscrupulous enemies, it is
necessary to build the morale of our Army,
Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as the
public and ourselves, to the utmost of im-
pregnability, and
"Whereas, one of the greatest elements
in the building of morale is the indulgence
in entertainment, amusement and recreation,
"And Whereas, the Associa ted Operators
of Los Angeles County, Inc_, is engag.ed in
the business of dispensing amusement, and
"Whereas, many of its person nel have'
served In the ranks of the armed forces of
this country in the first World War,
"Now Therefore Be It Resolved, that the
membership and personnel of the Associated
Operators of Los Angeles County, Inc_,
offers its complete facilities, resources, time
and efforts in a manner best fitted to fur-
ther the bolstering up and maintaining th at
degree of morale and aiding in our Defense
Program in any manner which is necessary
to offer the most obstinate defense of our
Country, and anxiously await the command
of those in whose charge the burden of
defense lies."

Copies of the resolution were inscribed
