NEW YORK-Joseph Fishman,
executive director of the Amalga-
mated New York Vending Machine
Operators' Association, and one of
the best known operators in the
New York area, delivered the fol-
lowing address at a recent ban-
quet of the Association:

it has been the fashion to attack
it. The operators have talked
about pin machines as though
they were ashamed of them.
Newspapers have jumped on the
pin-machine operator, and politi-
cians have backed up these news-
papers more or less for their own
publicity reasons."
"Why should the newspapers
jump on the pin-machine busi-
ness any more than the baseball
business? Pin machines are real
amusement. They are games of
skill. They are not gambling de-
vices, nor are they intended to
