-THE SANDUSKY JULY 4, 1941 Sp Waters May Be Established Champagne Waltz (Free) Keeps Hot Spots Fizzing Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series on New York's night clubs. BY ROBERT BELLAIRE T6KYO (UP) The government disclosed today that it is considering the establishment cl a safety zone in Japanese territorial waters and a leading Tokyo newspaper urged precautionary measures to avert "an embarrassing development for Japan should the United States attempt to ship arms to Russia through Vladivostok. Disclosure that a safety zone was under consideration came from Koh Ishii, government information board established by western-'hemisphere nations to keep; one of the most hazardous of all belligerent warships out of their i territorial waters. i Ishii said the government had: keeps going, not made up its mind whether lo So, one of the things they do, extend the nation's territorial wa- calculated to make the customer ters but that it "would be very want to come back, is cater to the convenient to follow America's old bingo idea of giv- When it was pointed in away something for nothing. 1- By GEORGE TUCKER NEW bingo is to the movies, free champagne is to the night clubs.

The managers themselves will fell you. "We don't play bingo. We give away a few bottles of wine now and then, but it's just in Phooey. They give it away because it helps trade. At least, they think it helps trade.

Night club managers are not noted for their altruistic instincts. They are business men in a busineess that is gambles. When the trade falls off, they face trouble. The overhead example." that the American nations es tablished a safety zone instead of extending territorial waters he said both plans were under discussion. The call for precautionary measures in the event the United States undertook to deliver war supplies at Russia's only major Pacific port came from the newspaper Hcchi which said that the only available routes to through the Tsugaru or Soya straits, in Japanese territorial waters, which might become the scene of German submarine operations The newspaper said that Japan, bound by the tri-partite treaty with Germany and Italy and by her neutrality pact with Soviet Russia, coula not remain indifferent should Anglo-American aid to Russia threaten Japan.

In this connection, Ishii said he could not say without further study whether the Tsugaru and Soya straits separating Japanese islands were entirely within Japanese territorial waters. As, for Anglo-American aid to Russia, he said he would consider statfoning of United States planes at Vladivostok "an unfriendly act toward Japan." planes have been sent to the Chinese at Chungking, the Dutch at Batavia and the British at Singapore.) Ishii, asked if the government with press allegations that the States was attempting to' encircle Japan, replied, "I can say thai the situation explains Itself." Referring to the United States Burma trade tax agreement, he said; Japan had no legal objections to it bui that "it might be interpreted as another phase of i encirclement." i Ishii said he had no about reports that Japanese ships had been recalled to Japan. government, however, possesses power to direct merchant shipr sailings according to' national economic necessity and it was said sonife routes were being changed Jn Vjlew of declining western hem; Isphere trade.

Greenback Rain Mr.

Sherman Billingsley, shrewd, astute owner of the Stork Club, does better than champagne. He gives away $100 bank notes. It works like this. Mr. Bill- i.igsville has several hundred balloons inflated, and into some of these he places his SI00 bank notes.

These balloons are suspended from the ceiling-. At a given signal they began to float down, and the scramble begins. To there have been no broken bones, but the shrill cries of triumph from the lucky misses have often been heard as far as the Triborough bridge. The champagne gesture can be worked a hundred ways and it has been popular since the nadir of the depression. Usually it is awarded as a prize, perhaps for the best dancers.

There's a night club in Greenwich Village that gives wine for requests to the orchestra. New York's Stork brings pretty balloons. Some hold $100 bills. Suppose there are 200 guests. Perhaps a number of guests will request a popular song.

The seventh to ask for it is awarded the champagne. Soothing Syrup In still another club the entertainers summon stooges from the audience. They engage the victims in some form of competition, make them appear ridiculous, and then assuage their feelings with gift bottles of vintage champagne. 0 It isn't a bad feature at all. It's something to talk and people do talk.

But, what is more important, they often go back and take their friends. That's the get 'em back. It's it's fun. But it's also bingo. City Briefs WORD HAS BEEN RECEIVED here that Mrs.

They were prisoners of war for five weeks on the German boat.

It took them about 5,000 miles. The Morrills were headed for the Congo region to do missionary work there for the Bretheran Church. They had planned to take the ill-fated Zamzam as far as Capetown and continue on an other liner. The Morrill family went to Fremont to the home of his sisters, after their visit here. They expect to take another try on their trip to the Congo as soon as conditions become better, the Rev.

Mr. Morrill reported. The liner was enroute to Alexandria, Egypt, by way of the southern Atlantic and Indian oceans, the route to be taken by American ships' delivering supplies to Britain's near east allies.

In the disaster no lives were lost. Both passengers and crew were rescued by the ship that sank the Zamzam in the South Atlantic. The reason given by the German government for the destruction of the boat was that it was carrying contraband. It was therefore sunk in accordance with international blockade f'les, they said.

Attitude Towards Japan More Conciliatory By JOHN A. REICHMANN WASHINGTON (UP) The attitude of the United States toward Japan today appeared more con'J ciliatory as the belief grew that Japan's foreign policy is veering away from the axis. Officials plainly evinced a grow-! ing interest in the decision which Japan has made, but not announc-I ed, as to her policy as it might be affected by -the Russo-Germarf conflict. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles indicated the attitude; of the United States yesterday! when he said that this government hopes that whatever policy Japan has adopted would serve to maintain peace in the Pacific. 't Observers regarded as everr more significant, however, a frank assertion by Welles, that Japan; was believed to have acted entirely within her rights when she requisitioned two Japanese ships, loaded with chrome ore which; had stopped at Kobe enroute to San Francisco.

Welles said that no question of ownership was in-, volved. The United, States badly needs' chrome in its defense program and the cargoes would have viated the shortage. Observers read into Wellesl statement the implication that while the United States does not overlook Japan's belligerency in the far east, this government favors any conciliatory action which" may lead to improvement of coft-' ditions in the Pacific They believed that Japan has found her axis connections of little value, especially since the break of the Russo-German conflict. So far, they argued, Japan' has gained from the axis only its recognition of Japan-sponsored Nanking government in China. The belated recognition, which; they felt came as a move strengthen Jaoan's wavering attitude toward the axis, was of little value and served only to remind Jaoan of the narrow scope of benefits she could expect from her axis On the other hand, the present policy of the United States to give the Soviet Union all possible assistance In the conflict Germany might sffect adversely Japan's attitude this country.

Under the developing policy of U. collaboration, it was believed that every effort will be made to shin goods across the Pacific to Vladivostok. The immediate assistance Japan could give her jxis ally, under these circumstances, would block the nassage of these goods. This would bring Japan into direct conflict with the anti-axis powers, however. Observers believed that one the first steps that would be taken against Japan in case of conflict would be a complete blockade, shutting off imDortant goods needs, such as oil from the United States.

An attempt to obtain replacement supplies from the Dutch Indies was believed certain to involve Japan in major hostilities. CHOSEN DIRECTOR BELLEVUE (Special) B. B.
