Aiine Moshr Four years ago Randy Wood was selling re cords in Gallatin, Tenn. For laughs he made few record ings on the side. Today Dot Records, the com pany that grew out of that ex periment, is installed in fancy offices on the corner of Vine st. and Sunset blvd. It was the largest single record seller in 1956 passing up giants such as Victor and Columbia. Dot's 75 artists, including Miss Dietrich, Hunter, Pat Boone and Gale Storm, helped the fledg ling company gross $6 million last year.

Next thing they 1 knew Wood was hiring Gale Storm ("My daughter heard her : sing on TV.") and Pat Boone ' ("He came to Tennessee to ask for a job. I hired him without ! even hearing him sing because ! hehad sincerity."). Seven months ago he got tired ; of traveling around the country to the major markets and moved : the business to Hollywood. The 38-year-old Wood thinks he was able to sell 14 million ' records last year because "the artists are wonderful and we try to use songs people like." I PACIFIC , INDUSTRIAL " 16 S.
