I should call and speak to <u>Jim Walsh</u>.
<br>Called just after 5 and spoke to <u>Jim Walsh</u>. He was very pleasant
and forthright. He said that one of the <u>GAMES</u> - sent in by
<u>Norman Fabricant</u> he was pretty sure - was very similar in appearance
to mine, with the same jackpots, but there is more interaction
between the players, which is why they prefer it to <u>PICK YOUR POISON</u>.
But they are not sure that they are taking it.
<br>Called <u>Felicia</u> to tell about the call. I said that I didn't think they
were cheating me and she said that she is sure that <u>Mel Taft</u>
would not allow anything to be done to me - he always asks about
me when he speaks to her.
<br><u>Alan Newman</u>, she told me, has a device that "shoots" marbles into
the barrel of a "gun" to indicated moves, etc. Then Mattel came
out with the same thing. Altho there is no question of Mattel
having seen it to steal it, Felicia's lawyer thinks that he might be
able to get some money from Mattel as long as Alan can prove he had
the idea first. (??)
