Walker, formerly the director of entertainment at Disneyland, poured most of his life savings nto Teen Time U.S.A., a fair and exposition just for teenagers. It premiered recently for a nine-day run at the Anaheim invention Center, just dou'ii road from Disneyland. He hopes that eventually it will be a permanent thing, giving teen-agers he has three Leon-age daughters, himself, so ic knows the problem someplace to go, something to do. "There is," he says, "a dire need to do something for the teen-agers. They need, and they want, wholesome activity.

And there are two million teen-agers within a radius of 40 miles of There is, of course, a profit motive in Walker's thinking, too. He has compiled some impressive statistics relating 1o the teen-agers, as an economic force in Uiis country. Among them: Teens spend S'8 billion a year more than the Atomic Energy Commission, NASA, the Treasury Department and the Veterans Administration combined. Teens buy 20 per cent of all clothes, 27 per cent of all cosmetics, 85 per cent of all single records, 50 per cent of all movie tickets, and they 9 per cent of all new cars. Forty per cent of all teen-agers have llicir own charge accounts, and almost 40 per cent are mar iried before their 20th birthday.

Walker's statistics and Walker himself have impressed big business so much that be was able to line up a potent list of firms for Teen Time U.S.A. --auto manufacturers, food com- anies, soft drinks, record play- rs, musical instruments, de- lartment stores, bathing suils, ven a beauty college.

With his Disneyland expcri once as a guide, Walker knows low to control attendance. His is to let anybody in "who neat and clean and wears shoes." Nine days may be only a drop the bucket, but it's a start. as Tommy Walker sees il, wo million teen-agers can't be vrong.
