"Discounting practices in the
record industry have caused cha-
os," Richard Lionetti, district sales
manager 'of Columbia and Epic
Records; said Wednesday.
According to Lionetti, it all
started with the record clubs. The
small record-shop owners (deal-
ers) disliked the record clubs be-
cause they felt their business was
being cut into.
Record clubs offer their mem-

the study ofGerman languages
and literature.
bers discounts, and the dealers
felt they could not keep up with
the competition.
Small Volume
They started discounting rec-
ords themselves, but their small-
er volume of sales made it more
difficult for them than for the
large distributors.
When word got out that there
was a 38 per cent profit in selling
records, hundreds of people rushed
to open up small record shops.
This huge increase in the num-
ber of people with no background
in record distribution and sales
further complicated the econom-
ics of the situation, as they tried'
to manipulate the market. Super-
markets and variety chains start-
ed selliig records.
As a;result of this greatly in-
creased volume of selling outlets,
the company's. distributors and
salesmen couldn't get around to
all the clients.
"Rack Jobbers"
Thus the "rack jobber" came
into existence. The rack jobber is
a sub-distributor who sells only
well-known and popular records
and LP's.
He guarantees that every record
will be sold, so the store owner has
the insurance that if a record the
rack jobber recommends does not
sell, it will be replaced by new
merchandise free.
Because he is helping the dis-
tributor, the rack jobber gets a
discount on the records he buys.
"One-Stop" Distributors
The "one-stop" is a sub-distrib-
utor who handles records from
several different makers at once,
which suits the convenience of
juke box operators.
rn
Instead of going around to sev-
eral companies, the juke box op-
erator simply goes to the "one-
stop" and receives his entire pro-
gram at once.
From all these complications
arises a breakdown in the distri-
bution scheme and the profit from
it. The rack jobber and the one-
stop are both getting discounts on
the records they buy from the
distributor, while the distributor
has lost his former accounts to
these very rack jobbers and one-
stops.
Profits Decline
The distributor's profit dimin-
ishes, and he has no way of stop-
ping the trend. The small dealer
cannot keep up with the discount
competition given by big chains,
who are not selling records for
profit but just as loss leaders to
get people in the store.
In addition, the small dealer
can't afford to carry the less pop-
ular records, so he loses much
business to bigger concerns..
Bootleggers
Bootlegging comes in to compli-
cate the situation. Bootleggers can
reproduce a record so that not
even the manufacturers can tell
it from the original. Thy are
flooding the market with records
which cost them only 30 cents
apiece to cut.
Morse Cites
Diffniculties
For Teachers
By JOAN SIMPSON
One of the failures of teachers
today is that they do not differen-
tiate the kind of deprivation from
which a child may suffer, Prof.
William C. Morse of the education
school said during a discussion
group yesterday.
Prof. Morse, who led a discus-
sion of the characteristics of suc-
cessful teachers in deprived areas
at the Conference on Teacher Ed-
ucation, viewed problems of
schools in areas with a highly tran-
sient population.
Must Understand Problems
One of the problems of these
areas is that they have a large
percentage of transient and an-
other percentage of stable enroll-
ment, he explained. Teachers tend
to stereotype schools as either one
or the other without taking indi-
vidual differences of students into
account.
The teacher's job is not only to
have the necessary teaching skills,
but also to understand the prob-
lems of such schools. To do this
they should have training in phil-
osophy and psychology as well as
methods, Prof. Morse noted.
In research on teaching in de-
prived areas, it has been found
that these teachers lack informa-
tion and sensitivity to the partic-
ular problems of these children.
Should Like Children
Prof. Morse said that another
important aspect of the success-
ful teacher is that she receives
satisfaction from the children
themselves rather than just their
work.
He added that it is also better
if the teacher works in a' setting
that allows for success, where
work conditions are supported by
the sympathetic attitude of the
principal and other teachers.
Must Assume Image
One of the problems confront-
ing the teacher, Prof. Morse ex-
plained, is that of "helping the
child to assume an image that is
reasonable but alien to our own."
This includes differences in time
prospective and hope for the fu-
ture.
Prof. Morse said that the main
problem in helping the teacher to
be successful in deprived areas is
providing an appropriate curricu-
lum adapted to the needs of these
children.

By GERALD STORCH
Citing the dominating influ-
ence by lawyers during the Amer-
ican revolution, Adm. William C.
Mott, Judge Advocate General of
the United States Navy, yesterday
urged a re-assertion of this lead-
ership in educating the public
about Communism.
In explaining his program of
"Operation Bar Leadership," Mott
rambled over topics including his
testimony before the Senate com-
mittee investigating m i I i t a r y
"muzzling," his participation in
anti-Communism seminars and the
practice of Communist Party lead-
ers speaking at universities.
The program was established by
the American Bar Association aft-
er its president asserted that only
two-tenths per cent of lawyers
could hold their own in a debate
with a Marxist, is composed of
seminars contrasting Communism
and capitalism.
'Quality Control'
As Mott related to the Stenis
Committee, he believes these sem-
inars should have "quality control"
-that is, the panel participants
should have expert knowledge
about Communism and capital-
ism.
He said the programs attempt
to present knowledgeable analyses
of the situation rather than right
or left-wing extremism. "I never
attend a seminar without knowing
who else is there. We have no need
for amateur anti-Communists or
professional witch-hunters,"
Therefore, the seminars feature
expert professors who analyze and
contrast the differing systems in
areas of law, education and philos-
ophy.
The programs also, usually have

agent on hand to answer any ques-
tions about internal subversion.
'Truth Squads'
Mott also is planning to formu-
late "truth squads" to follow Com-
munists after their speeches at
universities. "I'm not opposed to
Gus Hall speaking at colleges, but
lawyers should go along and fol-
low up to expose the truth."
Mott pointed out that the armed
forces "spend more money on edu-
cation than all schools and col-
leges combined." He noted that, as
a more specific aspect, many states
are instituting Americanism vs.
Communism courses as required
work in high school.
A similar measure failed in the
Senate last month, but Mott pre-
dicted that Michigan would also
have such a course requirement in
the future.
If the schools will assume this
job, "we won't have to do this
training," Mott said.

DO-OR-DIE FOR NIXON:
CAN HE WIN IN CALIFORNIA?
Nixon is staking his career on the
gubernatorial race. Can he win? (He
carried the state in '60, but time
and political factors have changed.)
In this week's Post, you'll learn how
he's doing against a right-wing Re-
