I am trying to produce an accurate translation of a comment by a newspaper reporter from a 1970s magazine article. I am having trouble with the phrase 「段が立つ」見出し, which I am not seeing in dictionaries or other texts. Is this some kind of newspaper layout jargon?

The full sentence:
記者の目から見れば、そういった協会の動きは「段が立つ」見出しになるんですね。

I am getting variously:

From a journalist's perspective, those kinds of actions by the association would make for a compelling headline.

or

"progressive" headline

or

would be headline-worthy

Can anybody confirm what 「段が立つ」actually means?

I am trying to understand the quotation at the end of this passage:

Context:

A young man with a university degree (in the early 1960s), who had worked as a stockbroker, quit his job and after 6 months being idle, accepted a job for an American owned company in Japan, where he would be a salesman for slot car racing tracks (model car racing for children).

His first month was spent managing a slot car track so he could learn about the product before selling it. When his parents found out what he was doing for work they were very upset, because all of his 6 brothers were more successful. They thought he was playing with children rather than looking for a real ca

I am having difficulty understanding at sentence in Japanese.

The context: A Japanese man named Ogata was at a boxing gym with his friend. A foreigner named Cahn, who was a well known boxing trainer, liked the look of Ogata and asked him to step into the ring to see how he would perform as a boxer.

It is the last sentence in this paragraph. I don’t really fully understand the wording at the end.

小形氏はボクシングではカーン氏のお眼鏡にかなうことはなかった。

I am reading an article / interview with an executive from a Taito (the coin-op and video game company) talking about how they got permission from the police in 1963 to manufacture and operate Pachislot machines. This took 5 years of negotiations because these slot machine types were considered illegal gambling.

「こんなものがよく許可取れたなって、ずいぶんパチンコ屋さんから言われましたよ」。

I have been trying to untangle this sentence and am not really confidant with what I have. If anybody can provide me with a more accurate translation of the sentence it would be very helpful.

“quite a few pachinko parlor operators said, I don't know how they got a permit for something like this.”

Also, should 許可 be interpreted as

I am trying to understand a quote from a magazine article. I get the basic idea of it. but was hoping somebody who is fluent in Japanese can translate this for me so that I can be sure.

Context:

A man is reminiscing about his childhood in the 1930s, when his father was a subcontractor for an amusement operator who built rooftop amusement facilities in department stores across Japan. As a young boy he would sometimes accompany his father to one of these locations, where the developer of the facility would see him and give him some pocket money to use on the game machines and rides. This is a quotation of what the developer would say when the father and son arrived together.

I am trying to read an old magazine article. There is a section with some conversational Japanese that I am struggling to understand.

Context: In the late 1970’s, two elderly business executives, 中山 (Nakayama) and 遠藤 (Endo), discuss the early days of selling vending machines in Osaka and Tokyo. Their companies both started in the 1930s when the concept of buying goods from a machine was still new to most people. They mention some differences between the temperament of the people in each city, and how easily they accepted the concept.

However, I am having a difficult time fully understanding their brief conversation. It anybody has the inclination to translate this it would be really helpfu
