Suit To Recover Games
SAN DIEGO, Cal.-A J. Fox, local oper-
ator, has filed a suit in Superior Court to
recover 59 console machines or their value
of $13,000, plus $2000 damages, against
Sheriff Bert Strand and the County of San
Diego.
The machines had been seized last
month by Strand in Carlsbad after a series
of articles appeared in local papers ex-
posing the existence of gambling machines
in the county_
Fox made formal demand upon Strand
for the return of the machines and when
this was refused, countered with the Su-
perior ' Court action. If the courts ' de-
termine the machines are gambling devices
within the meaning of the state law, Strand
must destroy them, under a county
ordinance.
Kelner Heads Table
CHICAGO-Jack Kelner, president of
the Kelner Vendors Corp., and formerly

secretary of the Chicago Tobacco Table.
"The old ship is in safe hands, and we
have big things in store," declared mem-
bers following Kelner's election_

Industry Reconverts Following
Japanese Capitulation
LOS ANGELES-With capitulation of the Japanese Empire the Coin
Machine Industry is ready to turn to full reconversion and as soon as all
needed ma terials are available _to fabricate the various devices which com-
prise the wide assortment of coin-operated amusement, vending and service
machines, new equipment will be flowing off the production lines and j obbers
and distributors will be displaying new models on their showroom floors.
The Coin Machine Industry will not take
second place in the reconversion race for
many factories will pick up where they
left off back in 1941 and turn out models
then partially tooled up for, or partially
finished.
To check the pulse of manufacturers
THE REVIEW sent out 20 telegrams to
20 of the leading manufacturers asking
. them what effect the sudden end of the
.Tap war migh t have on early delivery of
machines, if OP A ceilings might hold back
new equipment until equitable adjustments
are made, and approximately the number
of machines they hoped to deliver next
year.

Returns indicate equipment will be avail- MACHINE
able in anywhere from a few weeks to a REVIEW
few months with most agreeing that it will
be a few months. Some refused to esti-
mate because so many factors were in-
volved and as Richard K. Law of Mills
Novelty Co. put it : "To determine effects
FOR
now, other than the deep thankfulness in

all our hearts, of sudden end of Pacific

war is not possible. If materials are re-
leased prOIpptiy, more Mills equipment
will be made in the first post-war y~ar
than originally anticipated, but will neither
hasten nor delay shipment of new Mills
machines now planned."
Another manufacturer believes "End of
war will permit completion of tooling with-
in few months. Production of limited
number of prewar models could begin in
few weeks if all materials are available
and OP A ceiling pricing enables produc-
tion at break even basis."
The raw material problem seems to sur-
pass the OPA barrier and William Rabkin,
of International Mutoscope Corp., sums it
up this way: "We can reconvert our plant
