Arcade Plea VO'i ced
LOS ANGELES-A special plea has been
issued to Arcade Owners of California to
j?in the California Penny Arcade Associa-
tIon and thereby benefit from the work
that the Association is doing, and plan-
ning to do, in behalf of the owners and
operators of Arcades.
Arthur Mohr, vice president and coun-
sel of CP AA, intends to go to Washing-
ton before May 15th to appear before the
House Ways and Means Committee and
protect the interests of the Arcade owners_
"One Arcade Owner alone can save
$200 by having a short visit with Arthur
Mohr," stated William Nathanson, presi-
dent. "At the present time grippers, elec-
tric shock machines, Mutoscopes, Fortune
Telling machines, vending tickets or cards
are subject to the $10.00 tax per machine
per year, where in reality they are noth-
ing more than vending machines vending
electricity, cards, etc. Mohr will meet
with a delegation from the New York
Arcade Owners Association and plead for
a fair tax program for the Arcade opera-
tor."
Membership in the Association is $25
per year and members are acceptable from
any part of the state of California_ Re-
gardless of the size of your Arcade and
its location, the CP AA is interested in
helping you and desires your cooperation.
"Where can you hire legal talent to rep-
resent you in Washington for 100 times
the $25 fee?" declared Nathanson. Op-
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The legisla-
tive mill is grinding on ' the slot problem
again and through Senate Bill 106, said
to be sponsored by District Attorneys and
Sheriffs, it is sought to ban slot machines
from the state.
Bill was before the Senate Judiciary
Committee April 12th and due to opposi-
tion of Senator Ralph Swing and Speaker
Charles Lyon was froze in committee.
Swing contended that there is a case pend-
ing before the courts which would clear up
some doubt created by court decIsions on
the present law dealing with slots. He also
argued that the bill went too far and in-
cluded pin-ball machines and almost any
other kind of coin-operated device.
Lyon attacked the bill on the ground
that under the present law any efficient
District Attorney can stop slot machines.
Further, he maintained, this bill would
stop the operation of pinball games, and
that was not wanted.
Frank Coakley, spokesman for the Dis-
trict Attorneys' Association, said he would
amend the bill to take out the marble
games.
