AFH 4ocal Bari Traveling Bands From Tor Free' Doubling Atlantic City, Jao. 13, Enforcement of a rule by the local branch of the American Federation of Musicians which prohibits travel- ing, bands from doitvg any worlt other than that for which they came to this town may end the practice here of political organiza- tions, etc., "borrowing" bands from local night clubs, piers, etc., for free. Operators of clubs and other amusement spots as well as the en- tertainers themselves figure to greet the union's new stand with satis- faction, since it bars them from un- wanted extra worlc. Local started enforcing the rule last week, iirst application coming before the public via the newspapers last Wednesday (7). A trio from Milce Fiore's Riptide cJuBT sent to play for the Atlantic County Chapter of Gold Star Moth- ers, was shooed away from the meet- ing as officers of the local union met them at the door and read the union rule. Group, the Bob King Trio, promptly skedaddled, but not before members of , the Gold Star Mothers protested. A ttio employed by the hotel' took the place of ttib King trio. Vincent Speciale, secretary of the local, and Alfonso Porcelli, its pres- ident, said that the union, in. bar- Xing the visiting trio, only carried out a national regulation concerning traveling bands.

BLAZE Capitol Records claims to have lost approximately $)00,000 worth ;Of ma- terials in the fire which destroyed the major portions of two buildings in uptown New York Jan. 2. Same blaze destroyed the International Recording Studios and some 70 mas- ters made prior to ,the "American Federation of Musicians disk ban by various indie recording labels. „ Capitol's loss was made up of pressings (about 75,000), phono- graphs, needles and similar equip- ment. No masters were involved. It had been housed 'in a building on SBth st)?eet, adjoining one in which the blaze started, but which was it- self set afire. Location was being- used by Capitol as a storehouse.and distributing point for disk$r Imme- diately following the blaze, these operations were transferred to a similar setup in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, the various indie re- cording companies and the band- leaders and singei's whose masters were destroyed in the fire, have as yet gotten no word from the Ameri-. can Federation of Musicians -over their plea for permission to remake the platters. Those involved went at first to New York local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians, which suggested they turn to the na- tional office of the AFM. Latter is said to entertain a very sympathetic' attitude toward the plight "oi!~the in- .dies and the talent involved, .but whether that feeling will sway St. cold evaluation of the idea is aft- other matter. ■ Among the 70 masters lost by in- dies such .as Bullet, Banner, Manor, Crown and a string ol other labels are" many items which make up the entire stockpile of disks put in by" some bands, such -a.s Marshall Young's combo.

BARTON CREDITORS MEET FINDS S2G DEBT ' First general meeting of Barton Music Monday (12) was attended by between 40 and 50 people, all claim- ing lOU's. After perusing the firm's predicament, the creditors and their attorneys appointed a committee from their ranks to check over the company's books and h^ve a report ready for' a subsequent meeting two weeks, hence. All told, Barton is in debt to the tune of $82,000, approxi- mately $61,000 of whicli is owed to. songwriters, principal amount to Johnny Farrow and Marty Syme.?, writers of "I Have But One Heart," the firm's mcst repent hit. Meeting turned up the fact that Barton owed writer royalty sums in entirety or in part as far back as the company's first song, some years back. Creditor's attorneys do not want to file an involuntary bank- ruptcy action against the firm until its affairs are straightened out so that a course can be determined. Ben Barton and Bank Sanicola, operators of the firm are in Cali- fornia. Frank Sinatra is supposed to be a one-third partner in the com- pany, although no longer affiliated with it insofar as contributing songs (he has Sinatra Songs, an Edwin H, Morris subsid), but according to the conversation at tbe creditor's meeting he no longer holds his one- third piece. Goldsen Retains Leslie In Revised Setup; King Cole In Shift to Burke-VH Arrangement by which Carlos Gastel and Stan Kenton and King .Cole Trio were to have shitted mu- sic publishing afliliations from Cai)i. tol Soijgs to Burke-Van Heuseu hove been revised. Instead-of moving both Kenton's Leslie Music and Cole's King .Cole firm to B-VH, Mickey Goldsen, head of Capitol, will retain the Leslie operation while (iole moves his outfit to B-VH. There's been a change in' the finan- cial conditions of Cole's shift, too, and it's an unusual one. As of Jan, 1, Capitol will receive 50?f of nil publishers royxilties accruing to King CoJe Music, from mechanical, per- formance sources, etc. And the splitting ol the firm's income from : this source continues indefinitely, Capitol drawing one-half until when and if the firm may be dissolved. In addition, Capitol gets SO*;')' of whatever fiinancial assets- are now held' by the company. . In shifting to the B-VH - banner, Cole's firm win become known as Progressive Music, with B-VH as the selling' agent for mate^'ial pub- lished. In the event a hft song is launched by the firm, either B-VH or one of the Kdwin H.'Morris firms (parent- group to B-VH) will take over its exploitation under a revised' financial setup. Chicago Stan Kenton will do another con- cert at the Civic Opera, House Feb. 22, second in three months. . .Chuck Foster tops biU at Grand theatre, Evansville, week of Jan. 21,. .Cathy O'Mara joined Lawrence Welk, re-, placing chirp Joan Mowery...Ray Anthony into Claridge hotel, Mem- ptiis, Jan. 30 for tiiree weelcs...
