product to a marked degree, America is
importing less and growing more. That is
aggravating Australia's tight economic
situation."·
En route to Australia, Weymouth stopped
over in New Zealand, .and reports about
that country are as follows:
"Scales are the main coin-operated item
there. The country is under a socialistic
regime, and the government provides ten
shillings per week (about $1.60 in U.S.
currency) for every minor child. Some of
the natives have large families; with ten
children and an allotment, plus a little
fishin.g, a man and his family can get along
• fairly well."
Practically every shoe store in Australia
has a fluoroscope device-and that brings
forth a suggestion. "In that country the
fluoroscope, which is the best method for
properly fitting shoes, is used by practically
every shoe stor e. Over here measuring
sticks predominate. Why not a coin·
operated fluoroscope machine for shoe
stores in the U.S.?"
Weymouth believes that the Industry
"down under," is very much in its infancy.
"Twenty years ago scales and chocolate
bars comprised the total bulk of the trade.
When the day of improved financial status
arrives and imports are permitted, Aus-
tralia will be a lucrative market."
Cooley Death Mourned
•
CHICAGO-The nation's coinmen were
deeply moved by the passing of Arthur V .
Cooley, executive vice-president of Bell-O-
Matic Corp.
Cooley's noteworthy coin career had its
inception in 1922 with the Mills Novelty
Company.

AP./I.
1947
With the Republican split slowing Con-
gress to a walk and the gove~ll!-~nt bureaus
afraid to move for fear of inViting budget
cuts, local coin news is grabbing th~ spot-
light from the national scene. Washington
coinmen are up in arms over a proposal to
slap a twelve-dollar license fee on all coin-
operated amusement devic_es_ Th~ .proposal
was aired at a recent Pllbhc hearing before
the District Regulations Committee along
with a restriction which would ban the use
of coin machines (except phon"o graphs) by
school children during school hours.
Ira T. Byram, Jr., general manager ?f
the Silent Sales System, told the Commit-
tee that the proposed fee "will add another
straw to the back of a camel that is j~st
about to break." The industry, he said,
cannot stand another penny of expense.
A spokesman for the local Federation of
Citizens Associations retorted that, "what-
ever p..Toblems the Industry may have, the
problems " of the District government' are
much greater if it is to meet its bud~et."
Referring to the attempt by the AmerIcan
Federation of Musicians to get a percent-
age of automatic phonograph receipts, the
spokesman asserted, "everybody knows that
Petrillo is the man who may bankrupt the
Industry."
.
Lawyers for the District government
stated that music machines were included
in the proposed license fee because of the
expense of inspecting their electrical in-
stallations, especially those of the remote
control type.
William R. Lichtenberg, attorney for the
Washington Coin Machine Association, tes-
tified that the Industry would accept the
ban on use of coin machines by school chil-
dren between the hours of 8 and 3, but
protested a proposal by a citizen group
which would extend the ban to 4:00 p. m.
If finally accepted by the Regulations
Committee the license fee and school hour
ban will be submitted to Congress. Coin-
men will then have a chance to repeat
their arguments before both die House and
Senate District , Committees later in the
year.
Court Upholds 5-Balls
Elsewhere on the local scene, five-ball
coin machines have been cleared of the
label "gambling games" by the Washington
police department whi.ch has ?een cond~ct­
ing a vigorous campaign against gambling
in the Nation's Capital. Police acceptance
of the machines is an outgrowth of a recent
District Court of Appeals decision holding
that the five-baIlers are a game of skill.
Five-Cent Music Remains
Music machine operators elsewhere in
the country may be rapidly shifting to ten-
cent play, but here the price has so far
remained at a nickel, despite faIling grosses.
A spot check by this reporter of locations
in near-by Maryland and Virginia suburbs
Local headquarters of the U. S. Confer-
ence of Mayors reveals that special cigar-
ette taxes are being rapidly adopted by
hard-pressed cities in an attempt to relieve
their financial burdens. St. Joseph, Mo.,
joined the group last August with a tax of
$1.00 a thousand. Miami's new levy is ex-
pected to bring in over $600,000 a year.
Denver has upped its tax from one cent to
two cents per package. First large cities
to adopt this type of tax, according to the
Conference, were Kansas City and New
York City which slapped on the levy in
1938.
Local city fathers are expected to follow
suit some time this year with a one-
cent tax, while Maryland legislators are
talking up a state-wide fee of two cents
per package.

successful has been tbis amusement game
and, so many have been placed on location,

Scientific Machine Corp. is now clearing
its production lines for more hit games,
the first being Field Goal, soon to be re-

Founded in 1931 by Max D. Levine ' and
Fred Hailparn, Scientific has played a vital
