Ground was broken for the
church and rectory in 1893 and nine

FOOD ISSUE
PUTS GEISHAS
OUT OF WORK


TOKYO. Sept. 2-The geishas are
pluoking a plaintive tune on their
samisens these days reported Reyes
Beech In a article FOR the Chicago
Daily News.
They have been ever since all
geishas houses and first-class res
taurants were closed by the gov
ernrnent two months ago to meen
the critical food shortage.
For a time they were hopeful,
along with 10000 other Japanese
who are out of work, that the ban
would be temporary.
But It now appecrs that, prodded
by the occupation authorities. the
Japanese government will continue
the ban until the end of this year
and perhaps into next year, Reyes
noted.
The food situation Is bad.
Among Tokyo's 2,5o0 geishas, a
few of the more fortunate are be-
ing supported by their patrons
one time bigshot industrialists and
government officials.
However. many of these are on
trial as war criminals.
Some geishas have packed up
and gone home to their families
Some are living by selling their ex-
pensive wardrobes. Some have re-
sorted the worlds oldest profession.
The more gloomy geishas be-
lieve their profession is finished
They were hard hit by the war
The occupation period has been al
most as bad.
No new geishas are being trained
in the art of singing, dancing, play
ing the samisen and m k n g
sprightly conversation.
A geisha is a luxury item. In
war-stricken Japan, luxuries are
not popular.

Rules Alien japanese May Still
Lease Land in California

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Sept (Nichi
Bel Times Dispatch ALLEN Japanese may still
lease land in California for commercial and re-
sidential purposes despite termination in 1910
of treaty granting them this right.
This was the ruling made Tuesday by At
tomey General Fred n Howser in an opinion
requested by former assemblyman Albert G.
Wollenburg of San Francisco.
Howser said the California alien land law of
1920 incorporated the provisions of any treaty
existing at that time. Incorporation of the Ja-
panese treaty provisions, he ruled, conferred
such property rights upon all citizens of Japan.
He declared the rights to lease commercial
and residential property in California will exist
until the statute is either amended or appealed.
The opinion may have bearing on case
pending in the state supreme court, according
to attorney Emmett Gebauer
Affects Stockton Case
Gebauer's firm is representing Japanese
incorporated as The Stockton Theaters.
The San Joaquin county superior court
ruled the corporation leave was invalid because
its owner was an alien Japanese
This ruling was reversed by the third dis
trict court Of appeals and this decision now is
up for review by the supreme court.
According to Attorney Guy G. Calden,
this latest opinion or Issei rights by Attorney
General Howser establishes the Legality of
transactions by alien Japanese Americans, Civ
ing added protection to future contracts.
1t was revealed that in the opinion of most
attorneys familiar with the case that the Stock
ton Theater decision in favor of the Issei will
stand despite any appeal
