News Briefs
..... Jim Wiswell and Doug Furry walked away from the fifth Tournament Soccer
World Championships with the $30,000 first prize for their open doubles victory.
Dan Kaiser won $7,000 as singles champion. Tom Spear and Carrie Crowell com-
bined to win $4,000 as mixed doubles champs.
Look for full tournament coverage in next month's PLAY METER ........ . ... .
..... "Included among the beneficiaries of this legislation are record manufacturers
who cannot be viewed as 'authors' of 'writings' within the terms of the Con-
stitutional grant of authority to Congress, except by stretching those terms
beyond their true meaning." In so stating, Nicholas E. Allen spoke in behalf
of the AMOA against proposed congressional legislation to include rights of
performers to copyright royalties. Allen was speaking to a subcommittee on
Courts, Civil Liberties, and the Administration of Justice as long ago as March
30,1978. But now the proposed measure appears to be gathering congressional
support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
..... According to a recent dispatch in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a grand jury in
Hamilton County, Ohio is investigating the operation of bingo pinball machines
in the area. Undercover police reportedly have spent about $1,500 playing the
machines and claim to have .found dozens of places (mostly in Cheviot and
Norwood) where pinball winners were paid off.
Meanwhile in Cheviot, youths are meeting with city council members in an
attempt to get the city to allow minors to play pinball machines. Current city
laws ban the use of machines by anyone under 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
..... And then there's the town of Scarborough (near Toronto) in Canada which has
decided to hold a public hearing to deal with alleged pinball parlor problems.
The latest claims made against the arcades are that loansharks are loaning
pinball money at exorbitant rates to youngsters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
..... Finally, how about a story about a city council which hasn't followed this
new wave of silliness?
Bernie MacDonald, a convenience store owner in Layton, Utah, has convinced
the city council to lift an ordinance banning pinball to those under 18. MacDonald
cited manufacturers' claims that pinball games serve as an outlet for aggression.
"Which would you rather have," MacDonald asked the city council members, "a
kid stealing your hubcaps or playing pinball?" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
..... Exidy has relocated both of its divisions in Sunnyvale, California's
Moffitt Industrial Park. The new address for the video game manufacturer
is now 390 Java Drive, Sunnyvale California 94086.
The move to the new plant coincides with Exidy's shipment of its
newest video game offering, Crash. In addition, Exidy is continuing to
ship Ripcord and Star Fire.
