CANADA LEFT OUT?

Presumably, such combat zones would be the waters around Eng land, Germany and France. Those are the active submarine and naval areas. But would shipping areas around Canadian ports, either on the Pacific or Atlantic, be included?
 It can be readily drawn from the Presidents message that he intends to leave the way open to avoid imposing such restrictions on our trade with Canada, at least for the time being. He said that, upon repeal of the arms embargo, "his government clearly and definitely will insist that American citizens and American ships keep away from the immediate perils of the actual zones of conflict"
 Canada is not an actual zone of conflict" No pitched battles on Canadian soil or in the air above the dominion are in prospect. The possibility is that Germany will send enough submarine raiders to Canadian waters to compel the President to designate at least the Atlantic route to Canada as a combat zone.'
 Even that, however, would leave rail lines open as well as lanes from U. s. west coast ports to Cana dian ports on the Pacific.

An unusually varied program OF
dramatic entertainment will be pro-
vided by the three one-act plays to
be presented by the Little Theatre

unlike one another in setting and
theme, and each one is different
from any play previously produced

will be the tragedy "A Night at an
lnn,' a successful play on both the
professional and amateur stage
since its opening in New York CITY
quarter Of century ago
"A play that is different" saw
those who have enjoyed rehearsais
OF Strange Road" the second one
act play of the group. You will be
recalling and discussing this unus-
ual and well-written play long after
the curtain has fallen.
An air of merry secrecy sur
rounds all preparations for the
third play. For public information
the title is given as Jealousy Takes
a Part" Rumor has it that the act
is to be peek behind the screens
disclosing the Theatre Club in
action.

LIQUOR SELLERS
 GIVEN NEW RULE
Must File Duplicate Copies of Their Licenses With
 Town Clerk

Through a change in the liquor control act which became effective Saturday, liquor permittees In Wa terbury and elsewhere about the state must LOW file duplicate copies of their licenses with the town clerk of their community. In the past, the duplicates have been filed with the clerks of the superior court.
 Clerk George Freeman of the New Haven county superior court at Wa terbury said today he has been in- structed not to accept any more per- mits for filing. Those going to the courthouse are being sent to the of- flee of the town clerk in the city hall.
 In the past, permittees in New Haven county have been allowed to file the duplicates at either New Ha- ven or Waterbury. Now they must file them with the town clerk in their own town.
 In filing with the town clerk, the permittee must pay fee of 25 cents. The amendment to the liquor statute applies both to new permits and re- neWals
 The change in the law will make possible a more accurate check on the number of liquor establishments in Waterbury, since copies of the permits will all be on file in the town clerks office, rather than some at New Haven superior court and some at Waterbury superior court.

 A union spokesman emphasized that the walkout would be con- fined to approximately 5000 skilled workers engaged in preparations for production of 1940 model automo. piles. IVA

AMERICAN WILL
 WIN AT TENNIS
Bobby Riggs and Elwood Cooke Will Battle It
 Out for Title

Wimbledon, Eng, July 5.-tUP) An American is going to be Vim bledon champion this year.
 Bobby Riggs of Chicago and El- wood Cooke, of Portland, Ore, made that Q certainty today when they blazed into the finals of the 59th all-England tennis championships. Cooke defeated Henner Henkel, of Germany, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Riggs won from Farnjo puncec, Yugosla- via, 6-2, 6-3, GA.
 It was the first time there had been an All-American mems final at Wimbledon since 1881 when Frank Shields and Sidney B. Wood went to the last round. Shields was forced to default because of an in- jured ankle.
 Either Riggs or Cooke will take the title that Don Budge won last year before he turned professional.
 Cooke Was Surprise
 Riggs was expected to go far in the tournament, but Cooke's march through the worlds finest amateurs was a surprise. He eliminated Bunny Austin, England's strongest player, in the quarter finals.
 I'm thrilled to reach the finals on my first attempt at Wimbledon" Cooke said. T started today's play with a set plan of campaign. I planned to keep up backhand at- tack and moved toward the net only at the right moment. This worked well, but Henkel is great fighter"
 There also Is @ chance that there will be an all-American final in the women's singles. In the semi. finals Miss Alice Marble, San Fran cisco, meets Mrs. Hide Sperling, of Denmark, and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, Brooxline, Mass, plays Miss Kay stammeras, Great Britain.
 The Duchess of Kent occupied the royal box for part of today's play.
 Given only an outside chance of going so far in the historic tour- nament, Cooke brushed aside some of the worlds finest amateurs to gain the finals. Among the victims was II. W. (Bunny) Austin of Great
