As Phil Orbanes had suggested, I called Jules Cooper about coming there with THE RIGHT WORD. We agreed on Thurs. [Thursday] of next week as a good goo day, but he said to finalize it with Phil. I asked if he would be in on the meeting and he said he'd try, but couldn't be sure.
Called Phil and left word to call me back and he did. Set the date for 2/3 at 2:00 P.M. I wanted to talk about it but he was busy. He'll call me back early next week.

Call from Stan Durham. Bob Gellman had asked him to send MACARTHUR & PATTON to Walter Luc Haas, but he didn't know whether to send it surface on air. I had him check the prices and for the 12 games the surface cost would be abt. [about] $12.50 and air about $57.00. We decided that I would check with Walter. The cost of each game is $4.50.
Since Fay Hartog hadn't called, I called her. Not in but she called later. She investigated and discovered that Walter would have to get copies of my books thru a rep they have in Europe. I have Fay his, Walter's, address and the rep will get in touch with him.

Gave him info on PATTON & MACARTHUR and mentioned WEEKEND IN VEGAS, MOVIE MOGULS, and CREATURE FEATURES, and HOLIDAY. Mentioned "Gamut of Games" going out of business and A.H. taking over Aladdin's games. Told him he should hear from Pantheon rep. should contact him.
