Labor of Love. They are getting it. Manhattan's Charles Michelson, Inc., which resurrected The Shadow, is also releasing eight other favorites in 52-week packages, including Dangerous Assignment, Famous Jury Trials and The Green Hornet. Detroit's Fred Flowerday, a former sound-effects expert, has acquired the licensing rights to two other oldtimers, The Lone Ranger ("Hi-Ho, Silver") and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon ("On, King, on, you huskies . . ."). To Flowerday, putting the Ranger back in the saddle is a particular labor of love: it was he who used to clomp a pair of rubber plumber...
...monopoly is a monopoly to the Federal Trade Commission, be it in oil, steel-or bubble gum. So in 1959 the FTC began unwrapping the sticky case of Brooklyn's Topps Chewing Gum, Inc., tycoon of the baseball trading cards that now sag the pockets of every acquisitive American boy (and tomboy) between the ages of five and 15. Last week FTC Examiner Herman Tocker capped 4,000 pages of testimony with a 113-page opinion finding Topps so tops that its competitors are overcome with "a sense of futility...
Home Leave? One result is the Bennett-invented Federal Prisons Industries Inc., which does a $40 million a year business with other Government agencies and turns a $4,000,000 annual profit over to the Treasury.

In the old days, all federal sentences were for fixed periods, and a parole board could not even consider a case until one-third of a convict's term had elapsed. Bennett inspired the 1958 Omnibus Sentencing Act, which allows far greater parole flexibility and permits a judge to jail a man for three to six months...
Bingo King Co., Inc., of Denver, reportedly the biggest maker of bingo equipment, says that business is better than ever before. Many clergymen find bingo playing the most embarrassing of fund-raising devices, and are openly grateful if it is outlawed by state or city ordinances. But 13 states have specifically legalized it; in New Jersey, churches and synagogues grossed $18.5 million last year, and in New York the take is even bigger...
Laminated Biceps. Modern industrial design has ceased its T-square solemnity and turned capricious. A crash helmet by Bell-Toptex Inc.'s Frank Heacox and Roy Richter becomes a more modern exoskull, whose transparent visor frees, yet protects, nose, eyes and jaw. A single-finned surfboard, made of fiber-glassed balsa, is-above and below its shallow water line-both a platform and a watery missile. A laminated archer's bow, by Bill Stewart of Bear Archery Co., is the winglike translation of the human biceps, and thus its 35-lb. pull ally...
