Night Club Empire Created By Catering to the Masses Company Tells Policy Stand (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) By HAL BOYLE PHILADELPHIA (Pi The 30- year-old grandson of an Italian 'imniiffriinl hue hxrnmp a HpnrV Ford of the night club business in America. And Frank Palumbo built his after-dark empire here in the City of Brotherly Love, which is pop ularly supposed to stay up after sunset only on the day when an evening baseball game is being played. But Palumbo created a multi- million dollar yearly business on the basis that the masses have more money to spend at night clubs than the classes. 'The whole secret of this busi ness is giving the people the kind of entertainment they want," said Palumbo, who owns six night If you haven't checked your premises recently for fire hazards . . .

However, a care less, inefficient employee may hazard the lives of our employees and the safety of our property. We have recognized your right, through your union, in the past to intercede in behalf of any em ployee who, in your Judgment, has been unfairly treated. We will continue to do so in the future. The machinery provided in our union contract has proven ade quate in disposing of most cases, However, in those few instances where an agreement between us has not been reached, I have re viewed the facts, and on several occasions decided in favor of the employee. The security of our em ployees depends upon order and discipline being maintained. Too often it is erroneously stated that management and labor are on opposite sides of the fence, op posed to one another with differ ent interests. As a matter of fact, production can only be achieved through the cooperation of labor, capital and management. We are proud of our accomplishments at Westfir. We have splendid em ployees. We are making clear to you our Company policy, which has always secured the best re sults for our employees and our selves. We are ready to resume production Just as soon as you, through your representatives, de termine your real interest. EDWARD HTNES LUMBER CO. N. A. Stone Gen.

Previously, three years was the minimum enlistment. Men who enlist for the 21-month term will be transferred to the Enlisted Re serve Corps on discharge from the service to meet the new draft law requirements. Can Cancel The reserve obligation may be cancelled, however, by extending enlistment one year. Expansion of the army and air force will open thousands of non commissioned officer grades. Men who volunteer now will have completed their training and be qualified as leaders by the time selective service gets into full operation. Hornsby stated. Limited Number Eighteen-year-old recruiting is also being accepted, but the num ber of applicants that can be taken into the army in this category is limited. Announcement of the new 21 month enlistment term or the 18-year-old enlistments does not ef fect enlistments for longer terms and the advantages that go with the latter, including choice of the branch of service, selection of schools, and choice of overseas as signments.

Value Sought Right now he thinks the peo ple are shopping for night club en tertainment every bit as sharply as they do for their dollar's value in food and clothing. "They no longer are just satis fied to go and pay their money and listen to a band," he said. "They want more than a voice or a tune. These guys who just play their saxophones and clarinets and turn their back to the audience are finished." Palumbo thinks the night club business, now off 100 per cent in many cities, never will enjoy again such a lucrative period as the war I years. "Night clubs have to get back to real merchandising. The fast dol lar is gone." Likes to Give Palumbo, a stocky, dark-hatred cheerful bachelor, has made him self a civic institution here by his pleasure in giving. Friends esti mate he gives away 5100,000 a year. His pattern of philanthropy is I based, probably, more on what gives him pleasure than on how his gifts will bring him more busi ness. He likes sports he owns a 6hunk of Ike Williams, the light weight boxing champion and gives a number of cups and tro phies each year to winners of sporting events. He also takes some 45,000 children a year to the zoo, circus or a major league ball game. Zoo Benefits By giving the zoo a leopard, four alligators, some south American birds and two rhinos he also en deared himself to the animal-loving hearts of the main line aristo cracy here. And it is a crusty so ciety you just don't crash with a new bank roll. Palumbo has given blood trans fusions as well as dollars. He is easier to hit than a radio give way program. As the whim seizes him, he passes out watches, pen and pencil sets, cases of liquor perfume, gold rings, bracelets, and television sets for orphanages. "1 get my chief pleasure out of life in seeing people enjoy them selves," he says. His favorite bev erage is a soft drink. He pays out more than $1,000.- 000 a year to bring in the na tion's top priced bands and en tertainers. So far the formula has worked. There are no rings under Palum bo's eyes from worry.
