KISS THE BOYS GOOD-BY ceived, the police raided the joint. They got as far as the door when the lights went out. When the lights came back on again, the police bagged two barmaids—fully clothed —and 50 disgruntled club members, but no ecdysiasts. The cops arrested the manager anyway, for allowing liquor and “dancing” on the premises without a license. WOMAN'S SLIP CATCHES RING WITH PANTS DOWN ST. LOUIS—Members of a counter- feiting ring were taken into custody recently because the wife of one of the five men arrested took the wrong bill from her husband's pants pocket while he was sleeping. Secret Serv- ice agents had been stumped for a lead to the source of some $10,000 in bogus bills passed for several weeks from Chicago to New Or- leans. The break came after the woman tried to pass a $5 bill taken from “her husband's trousers. She went shopping at a drygoods store and gave the merchant the bill. When he flipped it over, he saw it was blank. The woman took the bill back and left. Then the merchant called the police, who traced the woman. Raids here and in New Or- leans netted the five ring members. | NON-TV WESTERN INVADES INDIA BOMBAY—An old-fashioned Ameri- can wild west range war broke out in the village of Gundi, 40 miles from here, when straying cattle trampled a crop ready for harvesting. Angry farmers took after the local cowboys with sticks and _ stones, sickles and guns. By the time police could be rushed in from nearby Ahmedabad to break it up, five men were dead, 40 wounded. HOT SHORE LEAVE PUTS NAVY IN COLD STORAGE JARROW, ENGLAND—Five hundred sailors are wondering what's hap- pened to the old Navy tradition of a girl in every port. When two Venezuelan warships docked here for repairs, their crews were all set for a big time ashore. They got a warm reception from the ladies all right, but a hotter one from the town males. So many fights broke out between the navy men and their dates’ jeal- ous boyfriends that Commander Pablo Cohen finally canceled all shore leave for his men. The girls wrote the commander, begging him to change his mind, but he remained firm. The wistful maidens weren't giving up hope though: “We'll wait here on the docks every night,’ a pretty brunette said, “until the boys get ashore.” As far as Commander Cohen was concerned, however, the Vene- zuelan Navy was through (tempo- rarily, anyway) with the mating game. TEACHER PATS MOM'S PET— BEATS QUICK RETREAT LAKE FOREST, FLA—An angry mother took a sock at her 12-year- old son's teacher and wound up in jail for assault and battery. It all started when the pedagogue disciplined the boy with a paddle— once across the behind. Junior went home and squealed on him and Mama charged into the school- house, swinging. Rolling with the punches, the teacher retreated into the principal's office. In his absence, the lady took over his fifth-grade class, lecturing on just what she thought of the man until she ran out of steam. The school said later that the teacher was within his rights, pad- dling the boy, but Mama was defi- nitely out of bounds. D.A. OKAYS STRIP, PLACES BAN ON SIP LAS VEGAS, NEV.—Teen-age cho- rus girls in this nightlife capital may get the gate as the result of a crackdown by the D.A.'s office. The objection is not to their appear- ing semi-nude in the resort hotels’ floor shows, as many of them do, but to their between-shows visits to the cocktail lounge. Mingling with the drinking, and paying, customers is part of achorus : girl's job in several of the fun spots; but the D.A. has ordered the hotels to keep all of their under 21 chorines out of the bars from now on. Twenty- one is the legal drinking age in Nevada and until then, says the law, a bar is ‘‘no place for a minor’ '—with or without clothes. nis © GRINDS: NO—BUMPS: YES ZOO GETS ITS LUMPS OVER CAMEL HUMPS DALLAS, TEXAS—The director of the Dallas zoo came in for some criticism because the humps on a baby camel he sold to an east coast animal farm were sagging. The buyers protested in a letter to the director that the zoo should have bound up the humps before shipping the animal. — . Consulting with experts on the subject, the director came up with a majority opinion that if a camel's humps are going to droop, they're ‘going to droop, and there's nothing any zoo can do about it, not even a Texan zoo. 23 MICLOO© (C(O) () SH aCO)
