Roller Derbies Give Women Chance To YellPrivilege In Modern Times DAY SERVICE Business Bureau Urged To Reform Bad Advertising WASHINGTON-UP) The Associ ation of Better Business Bureaus has been invited to undertake "in vestigation, action and reform" of improper advertising and sales practices in the retail men s cloth ing trade. Increasingly hot competition for Business has brought a "few iso lated cases" of dishonesty, said Paul D. Gilbert, president of the National Association o Retail Clothiers and Furnishers. Gilbert invited delegates to the annual Better Business meeting to take on a clean up job, declaring that "fraud, deceit and trickery can undermine our political exist ence." "The advancement of truth in advertising and integrity in busi ness is one of our strongest weap ons against the enemies of democ racy," the South Bend, Ind., cloth ier said. "Untruthful advertising is a con tributing factor to the '(public's) distrust of a businessman, of ad vertising generally, and of the sys tem of business on which democ racy stands." I unuert listed these as among the current abuses whirh. hp s.-iirl hnv invilnH nilltlin flielinliitf ond YtavmaA i legitimate merchants: 1. Inaccurate price compari sons, such as a "$100 suit for $39." Too many such claims are "gross exaggerations and an insult to the judgment ot the American people. 2. Misuse of " he manic word of nylon. . . Much merchandise is on the market which contains some nylon and lot of acetate. Too of ten, the nylon is included for mis leading advertising and labeling purposes only." 3. Some cases of "wholesale" selling from factory to consum er. Gilbert said he is confident that inquiry will show "the con sumer is being misled in tho value being received. By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK-W) Many women love to yell, but modern civiliza tion hasn't offered them much of a chance. The discovery of this simple little truth about the ladies is going to make Leo A. beltzer a nice big pot of gold. He has given them something to yell at. Leo, who in 46 years has pro moted things ranging from thea ters to hockey and walkathon con tests, is the "Mr. Big ot tne roller derby. "Seventy percent ot our lans are women," said Leo, whose various roller derbys this year will prob ably gross more than $7,000,000. Just what is a roller derby? Most Americans haven't yet seen one, and therefore aren't sure. And many of those who have seen one aren t sure either. It was the elements of a track meet on roller skates, with both men and women teams, and also the more homicidal aspects of wrestling exhibitions and a good, old-fashioned hair-pulling between fishwives. Whatever it is, it drives the la dies noisily wacky. Teen-age boD by sockers and staid old grand mothers whoop for blood when the racing feminine skaters tangle and maul and spill each other on the skin-shredding track. "the roller derby is the only body contact sport today a woman can go to and get personal re lease," said Leo, who is something of a philosopher. She can't see herself as a boxer or a football player, but she can picture nersclt as one of the wom an skaters. And so it is an outlet for her. She gets rid of her own aggressive impulses in the excite ment of watching the derby. "That's a darn healthy thing for her. And, of course, it s a good thing for her husband, too. She won t have to take out her ag gressive impulses on him." Seltzer says he dreamed the game up on a cafe table cloth in Chicago back in 1934. "I had acquired a half interest in the Chicago coliseum," he re called, "and needed something to fill it. I read in a magazine that something like 90 percent of Amer icans had roller skated at one time or another. That gave me the idea for holding races on roller skates." Since then the game has grown and developed its own rules rules that don't altogether rule out may hem. Today there are about 200 oro fcssional roller derby racers, half of them women. "We have our own training school in Chicago," said Leo, "and it takes about three years to de velop a skater to the point where he is ready for competition." The derbies will draw an esti Seltzer believes in another two years they will be the nation's top-ranking indoor sport. By that time he expects to have three leagues operating one in the east, another in the midwest, a third on the west coast. He also is planning to create leagues in Italy, France and England. "The key to the whole thing is the women," he said. "Women spend the entertainment dollar. and where they want to go the men will follow." q Leo doesn't see anything unus ual in the blood-curdling enthu siasm of female fans. "Let's face it women aren't the weaker sex." he said happily. "Na ture made them stronger. Tbey are far sturdier than men." He only wishes he'd found that out twenty years oetore. Eugene's Tax On Theater Admissions Wins In Court EUGENE, June 8. UP) The legality of Eugene's three percent admissions lax eiiective since April 1948 was upheld in an opinion filed by Circuit Court Judge G. F. Skip worth. The tax on all amusements charging admissions in the city was contested in an injunction suit filed by two west coast theater corpora tions against the city a year ago. It is now legal and will continue in operation unless the theaters ap peal to tne supreme court. George Black, Portland attoraey for the theaters, said Wednesday Washington Again Protests Toll Bridge Value OLYMPIA, June 8 UP) Mem bers of the Washington state toll hridee authority voted Wednes day to protest the Oregon State tax commission's 1950-51 valuation of the Washington-owned w bridge across the Columbia river at Longview. The valuation for Oregon tax purpose was $1,100,000, same as a year ago when Oregon taxes amounted to $36,537. The valua tion was also protested at that that he will not know until he con tacts his clients whether an appeal will be made. time as "grossly excessive." Washington has not paid Oregon . taxes on the bridge for the last '. two years, and by the TBA's pro- ; test, indicates it will pass them again this time. Meanwhile the TBA, headed by ; Governor Langlie, authorized a -call for bids on a "fill" in connec-; tion with the Washington ap proaches which are now being re-; constructed. The "fill" contract probably will not be awarded until -after the approaches are com-, pleteJ in three or four months, ' said William A. Bugge, highway director. 'Trained Seals' Label Stirs Up Louisiana Solons BATON ROUGE, La. W) The Louisiana Senate angered be cause the New Orleans Item laid some legislators were "trained seals," has named a committee to consider bringing contempt charges against the editor. The five-man ommittee was ap pointed after the Senate authorized its formation under a resolution invoking a provision of the state constitution. The vote for the res olution was 31 to 4. The provision allows either house to punish with ten days im prisonment any non-legislator guil ty of disrespect or disorderly or contemptuous behavior toward the legislature. In New Orleans, Clayton Fritchey, editor of the Item, said only: "The record of the legislature speaks for itself." David Stern, president and pub lisher of the Item, added that he would accept responsibility for any editorial appearing in the paper. The editorial appeared after the public roads and highways com mittee reported favorably a bill to remove state financial sup port from the port of New Or leans. Later the bill was withdrawn at the request of Governor Earl Long, who said it would impair the credit of the dock board. The resolution adopted by the Senate was opposed by Sen. Rob ert Ainsworth of New Orleans, who said, "I don't think we should take any action that would inter fere with freedom of the press. I believe our liberties are grounded mated 6,000,000 fans this year, and in the freedom of the press.
