FTC Accuses
Nine Firms Of
PdYOIa Deceit
Competition StifIed
By.ConceuIed Fees,
Agency Charges
By the Associated Press

The public has been fooled
and competition has been sup
pressed by nine companies that
slipped payola to disc jockeys,
the Federal Trade Commission
charges.
In return for the payola, the
FTC said yesterday, the radio
and TV disc jockeys gave the
firms recordings a good spin
sometimes playing the same
records as often as 6 to 10 times
a day.
Because these payments were
concealed, the FTC said, the
public was deceived into think
ing that the records involved
actually were among the most
popular ones.
A spokesman for the Edward
S. Barsky Co., a Philadelphia
record distributing firm, one of
the nine named by the FTC,
made this comment to a news
man:
Sure we paid disc jockeys.
We met competition. Every
company was involved in one
way or another. We merely
fought the battle to sell rec
ords, and that was to pay some
of the bigger disc Jockeys"

Mergers Overcome
Splits

Marriage still is more popular
| than divorce in Maricopa County
but not by much.
Walter S. Wilson, superior
court clerk, issued 4,l4l mar
riage licenses during 1858. At
: the. same time, 1888 divorce
complaints were handled in the
county's superior courts. Thus
there were only 3l2 more mar.
. riages than divorces.
That the divorce tide is
steadily rising is shown by sta
tistics Wilson compiled for 1857.
In that year, there were 3,S2S
marriage licenses issued and
1912 divorce complaints filed
a difference of SIT.
Arizona is recognized as a
state of easy divorce, which is
the major reason Dan Cupid has
had trouble staying out in front.
A years residehcy is required,
but a decree can be obtained
on many grounds, including
mental cruelty and incompat.
ability.
A wife seeking to shed a mate
need only consult an attorney
and sign a complaint. ! The suit.
is filed and then a 2O-day wait
ing period ensues. If the charge
is cruelty the wife need only
appear before the court with a
friend who Is prepared to testify
that on at least two occasions
she saw the erring husband
strike his spouse. Unless the
husband contests the action, and
few do, the decree is granted.
If there are children, the pre-
siding judge will make an effort
to bring about a reconciliation,
but generally this proves futile.
The court does, however, insist
that support for the children be
provided within the ability of
the husband to pay.

Man Shot
Fatally

A 31-year-old woman told police
she pulled a pistol from her waist,
and fired a fatal shot into the
mouth of a 35.year-old man who
was threatening her.
Iona Jackson, ll04 W. Grant,
gave that account of the death
late yesterday of Wade Hamilton,
1919 Buckeye Rd. She was jailed
for investigation of homicide.
THE WOMAN said Hamilton
slapped her Sunday night, prompt
ing her to spend $l2.95 for a pistol
and ammunition yesterday.
About GAS pm. yesterday, Ham,
ilton and Miss Jackson met in
front of 1924 Buckeye.
Miss Jackson said Hamilton de-
clared: There's no one to help
you tonight. I'm going to stomp
you"
SHE SAID she drew the pistol
from the waistband Of her skirt
and fired. Hamilton staggered to
the rear of the building and died.

A great many people never wor-
ry about the future until it becomes
a part of the past.
Taking advantage of raft of
friends is the only thing that keeps
some people afoat.
Courteous driving on the high
ways is a virtue some. people ex-
pect others to have.
The problem Of life consists most
ly of subtracting what man owns
from what he owes.
It'll pay you to remember that
the cost of experience has gone up
like everything else.
Food for thought is the only
kind that hasn't been affected by
the high cost Of living.
The man who tries to please ev-
erybody shows little respect for
his own way Of thinking.

Lodge Thinks

Return in 81
BY the Associated Press

Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge says 1t may be in the
cards for Nikita S. Khrushchev
to visit the United States again
in 1861.
II think 1t is quite possible
that we may be on the thres-
hold of setting up new meth
kods for dealing with each other
on International problems" Mr..
Lodge told a National Press
Club luncheon yesterday.
chairman Khrushchev came
here this time. His trip will be
followed by President Eisen-
hower's trip to Russia next
year. They may develop ways
of dealing with world problems
directly on these visits. In that
case 1t may be in the cards to
have a return visit in 1861"
Mr.. Lodge, United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tions, accompanied the Soviet
Premier throughout his Ameri-
can tour.
Positive Gains Listed
Mr.. Lodge saw as positive
gains an easing of tensions, the
lifting Of the Berlin threat,

United States. and Mr.. Khru-
shchev's learning more about
America.
Mr.. Lodge denied that he had
ever been ordered to reply to
Mr.. Khrushchev's statements
along the way. acting as a sort
of one-way truth squad" if the
Russian chief made misstate-
mentS.
Much had been made of this
supposed role of Mr.. Lodge, and
a sudden shift in tactics when
the caravan reached Los An
geles. There Mr.. Khrushchev
became so annoyed at pointed
Questions and criticism of Rus
sian policies that he threatened
to go home. Mr.. Lodge report
edly had been told to drop his
truth squad tactic at that point
and concentrate on keeping Mr.
Khrushchev in a good humor
Questioned by Lawrence
Mr.. Lodge got into his dis.
cussion of a possible return
visit in 1861 in answer to 6
tricky question from Pres
Club President William Law
renee, who asked him, "Mr
President, will you be willing
to invite Mr.. Khrushchev Il
the United States again il

Mr.. Lodge replied I'm no

of the question. His trip will

He suggested that tablecloths
and even bedsheets could well
be made from paper. And he
believes paper diapers are best
for little Russians.
"They are much more prac-

clared. AFTER using such

plugged the twin themes Of
world peace and better living
conditions. He told cheering
audiences from Vladivostok to
Novosibirsk, where he arrived
last night. that the might Of
the Communist world is the
best guarantee of peace.
He predicted steady improve

First Such Tour
The cross-country tour is the
first ever made by q Soviet
leader. Mr.. Khrushchev started
the tour after leaving Peiping
where he attended Red China's
10th anniversary celebrations.
In his talks to the Siberian
crowds, Mr.. Khrushchev has
constantly associated Pre- = dent
Eisenhower with himself as a
builder of peace.
In a speech yesterday at the
Bratsk hydroelectric power sta
ton, Mr.. Khrushchev again
spoke optimistically of an early
summit conference.

zoning Fought
BySpriingfie|d

Residents of Springfield,
Md. appeared yesterday before
the Montgomery County Board
of Zoning Appeals to register
protests against construction of
a seven-acre parking lot at the
Westwood Shopping Center.
DR.. E. Ray Ballinger of 5521
Parkston drive told the board:
The people of Springfield
bought property there to en-
joy suburban living to its ut
most. We wanted to escape
from commercial congestion, to
raise our children in safety and
enjoy our yards. To get these
things, we paid a considerable
price.
Now we find that instead
of the small. modest shopping
center promised us. with a strip
of trees and access only from
main roads. they have obtained
a permit to build an expensive.
tremendous commercial devel-
opment and a four-story.
three-block apartment for ITO
families. Now they ask for a
seven-acre parking lot.
I'VE resent this further in
trusion of commercialism into
a fine residential area, which
is completely unwarranted. I
speak for several hundred
others in registering strong OBJ
jectionS."
