|Dissensiion Hits Famous Ink Spots;
Group In $4,000 Weekly Bracket

NEW Y0RK--tANP)-- Unless
Billy Kenny and Ivory Deck
Watson OF the Ink Spots can set
Tie their differences, the world
famous quartet may be no more
according to rumors In theatrical
circles last week.
Since the death OF Happy"
Jones. the internationally famous
singing group has become a trio
at the Zanzibar. Broadway
nitery where they are currently
appearing. at reported salary OF
$500 week Jones death has
resulted in the management ask
ing that the $500 figure be re-
duced. However. when they play
n y. Paramount, the Spots draw
$4,000 weekly.
Rising from a lowly $50 a week
salary, the Ink spots famous per-
sonalities now find themselves in
the big-money class. The tenor
singing Billy Kenny has been
boosted to the $4,000 year
bracket by Moe Gale. who now
finds himself in the middle Of
the feud between Kenny and the
eold-teethed rhythm singing Ivory
Deck Watson. who gets no less
than $4,000 annually for his
sweet notes.
Kenny has been developing into
the most important member OF
the Ink Spots and that Is report
ed to be the reason why Gale
upped his salary out OF his own
share to include weekly guaran-
tee of $1,000. Gale has an employ
ment contract dating from 1850
for five years and year ago.
before its expiration this past
spring. the contract was extended
another five years TO 1949. This
was voluntary move by the
Spots. Gale declares. and offers
this as evidence OF the former
amicable understanding within
the ranks OF the famous singers.
Nevertheless. II is known that
the animosity between kenny and
Watson is no secret. Two years
ago. their feud is said TO have
resulted In open conflict in the
way OF fisticuffs when they APP
peared at the Chicago theatre.
Watson. who says he is one OF
the original Ink Spots. has been
out OF the lineup for several
weeks because Of illness. When
he attempted to reioin the group

5 Area Plants Win
WPB Approval Of

Five Washington area firms have
received War Production Board ap-
proval under the "spot authorize
ton" plan to manufacture civilian
goods valued at s114,000 it was
learned last night.
A total of eight applications have
been received at WPB from area
companies. None has been denied
and three are pending. The spot
plan authorizes WPB field Offices tc
approve civilian production where
materials, manufacturing capacity
and manpower not needed for wal
work are available.
The applications WPB already has
approved follow: American Scale
Manufacturing Co., to make coin
operated scales: D. L. Bromwell, to
convert oil lamps and vases into
electric table lamps; Federal Prisons
Industries, Inc, to make file cases;
Washington Mattress Co.. inner
spring mattress, and American
Wholesalers, innerspring mattresses
While WPB does not make public
the names of firms whose applica-
tions are pending, the three other
companies here have asked permis-
sion to make outdoor swings, more
innerspring mattress and a bronze
statue.
WPB announced last week that
approval had been given to firms
over the entire country to make
civilian goods valued at s152 ,O00, ,00C
through the third quarter of 1945.

Nations Service Center, 500 N. Cap

tired after a trip from his home in
Missouri, he was trying to find a
friend whose last name and address
he didn't know, and he was worried
about his chances of persuading his
high school sweetheart, stationed
here with the SPARS to marry him
Last night, he went to see the
friend he was looking for, whom
the center had found. He took her
a dozen roses, which the center had
provided. He took his high school
sweetheart to dance, which the
center also had provided. He pre-

he announced his engagement to
