K. Harris filed the usual thre.it of an in-^ fringement suit against London Records-, last week for jumping a Feb. I: release date of the song, "While the Angelus Was Ringing." 'Harris, a Ralph Peer firm, is burned over the release of the disk to the point where it has barred the disk's use from the air until the proper time. ^London's record- ing is by Anne Shelton. What made London's early re- lease bothersome to Harris is; the. caliber of disks by rival com- panies. Tommy, Dorsey did it for Victor, Frank Sinatra for Colum- bia, Margaret Whiting for Capitol, Dick Haymes, Decca; Eddy How- ard, Mercury, and Johnny Des- mond, M-G-M. Tune, a French melody by Jean ViUaii', with Eng- lish lyrics by Dick Manning, is known overseas as -'Les Trois Cloches;" Jerry Johnson is Souths em's professional manager. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦t»»»»» ♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦» ♦ ' ♦♦♦>*»*«** M *»» SADERUP EYEING ID'S CASINO GARDENS LEASE : : Hollywood, Jan. 18.

Abe Olman is reported set to close a deal uniting Harry War- ren and Mack Gordon as a song^ writing team. Tunesmith duo would be teamed also in their own pubbery under ' the ■ • Robbins- ] Feist-Miller banner. | ■ Gordon previously had his, own i pubbery with Bregman-Vocco-1 Conn. Warren has been with Metro. I Josef Myrow, Gordon's co-writer remains under BVC pact. 30 days notice. However, he has some $40,000 worth of equipment in the terpery and unless he can dispose of it (Casino already being completely iumished), he may stay where, he is; Trouble with present location is owner Charles Lick's insistence that terpery re- main lighted six nights weekly in order to provide a biz lure for the adjacent amusement pier which the brewer also owns. Saderup has been losing coin lately on the full- week operation. Casino, on the other hand, has been operating re- cently on a three^ay weekend proposition and made ;a. profit, Harry James starts a series of eight weekends at Casino on Jan. 28 at $2,500 against 60% privilege for the Fri.-Sat.-Sun. stand. Deal won't be disturbed even if Saderup takes over the lease. .
