Several days ago a N.

Y. Supreme Court jury awarded Lou $540,000 in damages from Pickwick International, a Long Island City manufacturer of low budget discs. The company used a Monte 1949 demonstration disc and placedvhis picture on the LP cover without permission. Lou had planned to make a major contribution to the Leukemia Foundation from the award, in memory of his son, a victim of the disease. The singer quite obviously hadn't heard the latest news from Manhattan, where a judge had set asida the verdict as excessive, declaring the jury had acted out of "passion, bias, prejudice and sympathy." Anyhow, Monte did a happy, unaware 45 minutes on the floor last night for a jam-packed audience headed by Mayor Tate that had come to pay tribute to City Commissioner Tom McHenry.

Also on the showbill were Jimmy Roma, a mellow trumpeter who bills himself as "the man with the golden arm," and the familiar but ever-welcome team of Fisher and Marks. The comedy duo went earlier in THEATREEM the day to help kick off Fire Prevention Week, at the Union League. Marks' busboy routine was brand new in the league area and startled as well as amused the assembled tycoons. STATION BREAKS: Gordon B. McLendon, broadcasting chain president, is due in Camden later this week to meet Mayor Alfred Pierce over the purchase of the city-owned AM station, WCAM.

McLendon recently purchased WIFI-FM (subject to F.C.C. approval) and the two will be merged into the area's newest AM-FM combination.

The cost to Jerry Wolman was $12 million.

Flyers' and 76ers games will ac commodate 15,000 and ice extravaganzas about 12,000. In spite of yesterday's disarray, Freeman calls the Spectrum job "a miracle." "We are doing in 15 months what should have taken three years. There are finishing touches to be made, of course, and we hope the public will indulge us for a little while until we're settled," he said.
