King Bo,w ls 'Em Over
Karnofsky Joins CMR
LOS ANGELES-One of the most inter-
esting and fascinating characters in the
Coin Machine Industry in the West is Dan
King III, President of Western States Dis-
tributing Co., San Francisco, and Western
Factory Representative for Pace Manufac-
turing Co_, Chicago.
Dan is a true westerner, born and raised·
in the saddle down Texas way, and right
proud he is too of his western heritage.
Through a rather short lifetime he has per-
haps crowded more experience and thrills
than anyone else in our business and now
as Pace representative selling hundreds and
hundreds of machines he is adding ano ther
thrill to an over-filled repertoire. He has
sold over 1200 new Pace machines and
converted a lot of operators to Pace ex-
clusively.
King will be the subject of a feature ar-
tiCle in an early issue of THE REVIEW and
an interesting yarn it will be, too!
LOS ANGELES-THE REVIEW'S staff, in-
creased and augmented since VI Day, added
another during May when Louis Karnofsky
joined its swelling ranks.
For the past eight years Karnofsky has
covered the Seattle and Pacific Northwest
beat and was one of the nuclei upon which
THE REVIEW'S present country-wide staff of
correspondents was built. He served with
the Army Signal Corps for 38 months.
While stationed in the Aleutians, his breezy
monthly letters kept REVIEW readers in-
formed on doings in the Far Northland.

Copper. Parts Shortage
Crimp Manufacturers
CHICAGO-Two items currently rank-
ing high on the list of critical materials in
the coin machine field are electronic parts
and copper. Shortages of these two items
have caused at least two large manufac-
turers of home radios to close their plants_
And the Coin Machine Industry is meeting
difficulties all along the line because of
these shortages.
Strikes and lack of basic raw materials
have combined to create a situation which
seems to grow darker daily. The shortage
of copper is particularly serious because it
produces shortages of the component parts
n~eded by manufacturers.
For example,
there is no substitute for copper wire in
transformers, speakers, fractional horse-
.
power motors, and cables.
Big copper producers such as Anaconda
and Kennecott are far from optimistic.
Strikes among miners and refinery workers
are paralyzing production and stock piles
are gettin~ dangerously low. Foreign im-
ports are still under the control of the
Metal Reserve Corp_ and there has been
some talk of putting the domestic supply
back under government control.
In March, manufacturers of copper prod-
ucts, including wire, estimated their re-
quirements' at 713,161 tons with a total
"visible" supply of only 417,008 tons. This
left them with a deficit of 296,153 tons.
Representatives of copper producing and
smelting firms say that supplies have been
dwindling steadily since then.
Manufacturers of automatic phonographs
report that their plants are running at one
third to one half their capacity. No shut-
downs have. been reported.
Cabinets, formerly a scarce item, are
coming through slowly. In fact, though
they really are still scarce, they are com-
ing as fast as they can be used because of
other shortages.
