Nov. 26 (INS) Shanghai's "austerity" regulations hit whisky-drinkers today. The municipal government advised bartenders that whisky or other foreign drinks may not be served to Chinese citizens, but only to Manufacturers Wait 1947 Census Forms Shortly after January 1 all Arizona manufacturers will receive questionnaires of the 19-17 nationwide census of manufactures to be used by the U. S. Bureau of Census in compiling up-to-date manufacturing statistics, it was announced yesterday.

Questionnaire results from all states will show industrial changes in the nation since pre-war days. Statistics have not been issued since 1939. All manufacturing establishments in this area are supposed to have received copies of the "individual establishment identification card," the bureau reports. These precanvass forms are used to determine the kind of form each manufacturer should receive. The few Arizona manufacturers who have not returned these cards to the census bureau in Washington are being urged to do so 71 T--- Valley Aquacade Group To Meet Kent S.

According to a fella who knew a fella, one of the big tobacco companies was' fcoing to take the rubber tire off Us bankroll and sponsor a big variety show on television. This is it," said a Swiss bell ringer. "The break we've been waiting for.

Television is a cinch to bring back vaudeville." I left 2,000 calories of cherry cheesecake on my plate and headed fbr the street. I fancy myself a medium tough hom-bre, but I just couldn't sit there and listen to those threadbare darlings and their pipedreams. YOU SEE, I think Theda Bara has a better chance of making a comeback than vaudeville. But before I tell you why, let me tell you something about Keilogg's. It's a cafeteria on West 49th street.

For years it's been the Union League Club of the putty-nose and trained seal set. Danny Kaye is one of the dozen stars who used to hang around Keilogg's, nursing a cup of eoffee and dreaming of split weeks. The table conversation at this poor-man's Sardi's Is pretty much the same year after year. The boys try out their gags on the only available audience themselves. "Is that your real face or did you block a kick?" a comic asks.

Nobody laughs. "I don't know what I'd do without you, but I'd rather," flips a Mountain m.c. The silence that greets this one would bust your eardrums. BUT TO GET BACK to ihe Swiss bell ringer and his brave little birdcall about television reviving vaudeville. I wish I could agree with him.

Next to free lunch, there's nothing I'd rather see come back than vaudeville. But instead of reviving it, I'm afraid television may knock it off for keeps. For a while, of course, the standard acts will pick up some quick money. Smith and Dale will present their classic "Doctor Kronkhelt" ketoh, and Pat Jl'oney his oft-hoe version ftf "The Daughter of Jlosy a Trent idigilatois, hand-balancing acts and Indian-club experts may be used once around the cathode circuit. Some producer with a flair for the nostalgic may even trot out a fire-eater, a frogman, or a paper cutter.

But all thee variety acts figure to be used up the first year television gets rid of its rompers. BY AND LARGE, what we call progress has done more to than for show business. The phonograph and music on film re largely responsible for the Local Ranch Home The Better Homes and Gardens magazine features the ranchhouse type home of B. E. Tade, 2639 East Camelback road, in its December issue, and representatives of the publication said more Arizona homes have been featured in its pages than those of any other state.

The Tade home was designed by Edward Varney, Phoenix architect. John Normile, building edi tor of the magazine, describes the residence as "the real thing" in ranch type homes. Partition Plan Hits New Snag FLUSHING, N. Nov. 26 (UP) Proposals to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states ran into fresh opposition in the United Nations general assembly tonight, and In desperation the backers of partition persuaded the assembly to postpone a final vote until Friday.

Delegates supporting partition became alarmed when Haiti, Greece and the Philippines made surprise announcements they would vote against the plan. This was offset partly by announcements that Belgium, The Netherlands and New Zealand would back partition. The situation changed almost hourly during the day, but after furious corridor intrigue by both sides partition did not have the two-thirds majority required to win. So far, 28 countries have said they will support partition and 15 have said they will vote "No." Partitionists would need 30 "Yes" votes to win, because the general assembly can act only by a two-thirds majority on major matters.

II1GGINBOTIIAM, State Agent, 3621 N. Central, Thoenix Interpreting The News: ROSE fiddles and horns we see in hockshop windows. Vaudeville was a fat business until the talkies came along. At an aver-age ticket price of 28 cents, Hollywood served up extravaganzas which the variety flash-producers couldn't compete with. Radio put the lid on the coffin.

It provided entertainment at the most attractive price of all nothing. This isn't a beef, understand. I'm a Technocrat from way back, and I suppose an inventor is entitled to three squares like anyone else. But don't go telling me that what I see and hear over the mechanical gimmicks today compares with what I saw and heard on the vaudeville stages 20 years back. Anyone who bathes regularly will admit Fred Allen is our most talented air-wave comic.

Well, ask Fred if any of his broadcasts compare with the old Imhoff and Corinne "'Pest House" sketch. AND FRED can tell you why. He devotes a week to the preparation of his half-hour air show. Imhoff and Corinne spent five years sandpapering their 30-minute skit. I admire the week-after-week energy of the Hopes, the Bennys, and the Bergens.

But what Jerry-built broadcast of theirs bats in the same league with the letter-peTfect nonsense of a Bobby Clark? When I first hit Broadway, a comedy routine was serious business. A good act might gross a quarter of a million dollars by the time it played 40 weeks for Keith and another 40 for Pantages. There were 20 weeks of consecutive time right here on Manhattan Island. An unusually fine act might stand up for years. Harry Green's "Cherry Tree" kept him in bagels for two decades.

TODAY'S big shot is not the man with a great act, but the man who can come up with a fair-to-middlin' act each week. Fred Allen said it all when he flipped, "Once a radio show is over, it's as important as a butterfly's cough." As an example of the old technique: 1 once caught the out-of-town try out of Kid Boots, starring Eddie Cantor. The curtain dropped with the Boston audience on its feet cheering. Back at the hotel after the show. Eddie sent out for imndwlches, and told the switchboard not to disturb him.

Then he turned to his assembled writers and gag men. "Kid Boots has the makings of a good show," he said. "Now let's get to work eliminating the small jokes and the medium-sized ones. We'll keep the big laughs and take it from there." AN MORIN who can go to school is pathetically small by comparison to the Jews. It catches you in the throat to hear their stories, and to see grown men and women painfully struggling to read and write.

The Arabs may and do receive treatment, in Jewish hospitals from Jewish doctors. They can and are learning better agricultural methods on the collective farms of the Jews. But because of religion, they cannot send their children to Jewish schools, even if the Jews had room for them. SO PERHAPS there is envy and fear in the picture. And even beyond this, there is great emotion, great passion that each feels about Palestine as the homeland.

It Is home for each of them, and it has been their common homeland for more than 2,000 years. That is the reason why the Jews could never accept those other plans which would have given them the space in Africa or South America on which to build a Jewish nation. It was better land, potentially, richer and with greater natural resources. But it was not Palestine. It wasn't home.

MANY partition plans have been advanced in the past 20 years. It may be a solution, but it is not a good one. Most Arabs are opposed to it and so are many Jews. Whether any division would be feasible, economically, is less important than the fact that both Jews and Arabs regard Palestine as a whole. They would as soon see a child cut in half.

To many It presents Itself as "vivisection," not partition. You can't perform a vivisection, the cutting of living flesh, without drawing blood. The Arabs have warned that this will draw blood. Fugitive Australian Nazi Is Captured SYDNEY, Australia, Now 26 (AP) Dr. Johannes H.

It is made of blue hills and soft, yellow sand, of olive trees and lemon groves that rustle sweetly in the afternoon wind. The Judean slopes are tawny and immensely old. They look down on the Jordan, moving quietly across the plain. This is desert country, but the sun is gentle and the skies are not the blinding blue of the desert. It is no wonder the Jews and Arabs love it so much.

Then why can't they live there together? The country is so infinitely peaceful. Why can't they live there in peace? There are many answers, but none Is the complete one, and perhaps there will never be a complete one. It is not race. They are the same race. It is not religion.

They both know and practice tolerance. IN PART, you could say "economics." The Jews are a dynamic people, bent on creating a model state, a nation of industry and commerce. They have great plans for building ships and making glass, for arts and crafts, for hydro-electric power, for farming and fruit, and glittering cities. The Arabs are changing, but they are still, at bottom, a pastoral people. They love the open spaces.

Their aristocratic families do not live in, nor believe in, cities and towns and farms with fences. Amman, the capital of Trans Jordania, just across the river from Palestine, is probably as old as Jerusalem. It looks a thousand years older. So at that point the future face of Palestine one fundamental disagreement emerges. THE JEWS, enjoying international help, have the money for schools and hospitals and model farms.

The Arabs do not have money.
