Created page with "DECEMBER 1974 - WEDNESDAY 11<BR> 345TH DAY - 20 DAYS TO COME ---- Call from <u>Claude</u>. HASBRO seems to like <u>Wald</u>'s "Rip-Off" <u>GAME</u> but is in no hurry about setting up dates. Wald asked Claude's permission to try for a royalty on it instead of the extra $3,000, if they take it. Yes. I said that I haven't seen the HASBRO games around, but Claude said that he had, in places like Gertz, etc. Also they tell him that the games are selling well...."
