be a contributing cause for any
possible war.

BILLY ECKSTINE WINS
DECISION OVER NATIONAL
RECORD CO.
NEW YORK—Billy was return
ed the winner this this week in
his djspute with the National Re
cord Co. over the disc firms re
fusal to pay him for eight sides
he recorded for the National label
in Hollywood last April.
The decision in Eckstine’s favor
was handed down by Riccardi
or of the executive board of the
American Federation of Musici
ans, who ruled that the National
firm must pay Eckstine for the
eight sides he originally waxed
and that Eckstine does not have
to re-record the selections in
questions.
Eckstine, who is now recording
exclusively for the MGM label,
made the eight sides for National
to conclude his contract committ- ;
ments to that company. Members
of he latter firm, who resented
Eckstine’s switch to MGM, reject
ed all eight masters in spite of the
fact that many neutral, observers
hailed them as amng the finest
wax the Bronze Balladier with
the Goldep Voice has ever cut.
In handing down the decision
in Eckstine’s favor, Riccardi or
dered immediate paymert of
S6000 to the singing star for the
eight masters at the contact
figure of $750 each.
Billy’s Initial release on the
MGM label, pairing two new pop
ballads, “This Is The Inside Story’’ '
and “Just An Old Love Of Mine ’,
is currently one of the three big

Speech Made By Charles E. Randall
At Ninth Annual Meeting of the
Nebraska Committee, June 5th
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is the eighth consecutive
time that I have appeared before
you at an annual meeting to give
an account of my stewardship,
and to report to you on the past
activities and the future hopes of
myself as your state director and
the Nebraska Committee, which ij
just as anxious and as much com.
cerned about the public welfare
and the future of your business as
I am.
The brewing industry, you know
consists of three elements or de
partments, namely, the manu
facturer or brewer, the wholesaler
or distributor, and the retailer or
tavern operator. All have their (
duitjes and responsibilities, and all
are affected by bad conduct and
benefited by good conduct of any
or all of these elements in the in
dustry.
The brewer has the most at
stake because of his tremedous in
vestment and because he cannot
go and out of business as it suit
nis pleasure convenience as can
the wholesaler or the retailer. The
wholsaler, too has a sjzeable in
vestment as a rule and he is in
terested in all phrases of the in
dustry because he too makes his
plans and expects and hopes to
permanently continue in the busi.
ness. The retailer'is the most nu
erous. Many of them have mod
erate investments and many could
change from one business lo a.
nother without very much loss or
dislocation. But the retailer, be
cause he comes in contact with the
the public, because he deals most
directly with the public, and be1
caue he can do more damage and
injury to the industry through
bad conduct and failure to observe I
the laws requirements, is just as
important an element in the in.
dustry as the brewer and the
wholesaler. And,because of the re.
I tailer’s peculiar position, he is a
person of the greatest concern, not
only to the brewer and the whole
saler, but to his fellow retailers as
well.
The alcholic beverage business
or traffic in this country has al_
ways been more or less of a pro'
blem child, and many changes
have taken place from time to
time in the last several decades
First there was the pre_prohibit_
ion period; second, the prohibit
ion period orera; and. third, the
present relegalization era. The
changes from one to the other
have come drastically. The saloon
era was swept out trough the
adoption of the 18th Amendment
National Prohibition ;all of the
states but two having ratified the
amendment within two or three
years from the time of its sub
mission by the Congress to the
states.
The prohibition era lasted only
abbout 13 years, and it was swept
aside with practically the same
unanimity of public opinion. With
relegalisation came the necessity
for re-enacting liquor control sta
tutes. States wQre obliged to
create and sep up liquor control
administrators or commissions
revenue department supervisors,
liqquor licensing departments,and
and other states and local agen
cies. These boards commissions,
and agenices were empowered to
j issue brewwing, wholesaling and
i retailing licenses, new licenses for
1 cause and even without cause
under certain circumstances. In
practically verey state strict res
trictions barred the brewer from
having any financial interest in
the retailing places. The same res
trictions were placed upon the
wholesaler.
We are deeply concerned with \
the decorum of the patrons and
the observance of the rules of
social decency, realizing that all
these matters are equally in the
interest of the retailer, th brew
ing industry as a whole, and the
public welfare. We always hare
and we shall continue to favor
those things in connection with
the industry, in all of its branches
and depart intents, which are a
gainst the public interest ar.d
which are detrimental to the pub
lic welafare.
We take pride in fact that this
program has been a success, evi
dence by the fact that the sporadic
movement eight years ago toward
radical changes in the 1935 liq
uor control statute, and for pro
hibition, has completely subsided;
evidenced by the further fact that !
the skepticism with which our,
program of cooperation with pub- !
lie authorities is generally hailed
by the press, by public officials
and the public at large as a nec
essary and permanently establish
ed instrumemtality for better con.
duct and better government.
Let me say that we applaud
every movement in every locality
by local governing bodies for the
betterment of the beer retailing
situation. It is always recognized
1 that the proper handling of the al
coholic beverage problem is more
difficult in the large centers of
population. We have observed
with concern the situation in
Omaha during the past several
years. The Nebraska Committee
has always been ready, willing
and anxious to serve the local
governing bodies in our metropoli
tan city, and we are happy to hau«
to the local governing body in
Omaha and to the Liquor Control
been of some ajd recently both
Commission in bringing about
what this Commission believes to
be the greatest step that any large
city has taken since re-legalizat
ion to matrially improve upon the
retailing of alcoholic beverages in
that city. And this Committee
shall ever stand ready to aid any
local community, large or small
and the state as a whole, to Im
prove upon and to maintain the
alcoholic beverage industries with
in this state so that the declared
purpose of the Act as set forth
in Secion 53-1, 118 shall be fully
realized and which fs as follows:
"The Act shall be 1,'berally con
strued to the end that the health,
safety and welfare of the people
of the State of Nebraska shall be
protector, and temperance in the
consumption of alcoholic liguors
shall be fostered by sound and
careful control and regulation of
the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution of alcoholic liquors”.
I feel that T can promise to the
people of this state that there will
be no recession or laxness in he
efforts of the Nebraska Commit
tee in its endeavors to make its
work a real adjuct to the govern
mental machinery enacted for the
regulation and control of the sale
and consumption of beer within
its borders.
