Last September the red-haired soprano refused to sign another contract with the Metropolitan opera, demand rather that than she knuckle refrain down from night club appearances during her own season at the Met. With Chorus Line Instead, she went out on a sixmonth of both concert halls and cafes.

"Basically, people's tastes are the same, whether they're in an opera house or night club. But in a club, they're less formal, more spontaneous, perhaps friendlier.
You feel so close to them." In all her cafe appearances, Miss Traubel spiced her classical repertoire with songs even developed patter to go popular, with them. In intraducing one song she grows very serious and demure and says: "I hope the lovers of popular music will be a little patient with me if I do something in more serious vein.

4-8121 Low Prices Embarrass JapaneseWhen Farmer's Daughter Sells For $30 BY MARVIN STONE TOR -A husky, healthy 17-year-old farmer's daughter can be bought lock, stock and barrel from her father for less than $30 in Japan today and government officials are starting to fidgit with embarrassment. The Red faces are caused mainly by the ridiculously low price, rather than the human slave practive itself, because child sales, which never were sanctioned is a 300- year old practice that the U. S. occupation failed to stamp out. All-Time Low going price of 10,000 yen ($27.78) for a mature girl is an all-time low, representing a drop of about $14 from last fall's price.
Poor crops last year forced the drop in prices as hard-presed farmers reverted more and more to the custom of selling their children to scraps up cash to meet foreclosures and keep the rice bowl filled. The Japanese welfare ministry and police officials have been cracking down hard but for every child "broker" arrested, perhaps ten others escape detection. lice reported that The government's morosecution ofcases of child sales were "discovered" in 1953, an increase of more than 8,000 over 1952. Official action taken, however, 1,883 cases according to a survey by the women minors department of the Japanese Welfare Ministry. Mostly Girls Sold The great majority of the sales, about 90 per cent, involve girls, and those of 16 and 17 fetch the highest prices.
They come largely from mountainous areas where farmers live from hand to mouth and depend on the occasional sale of a child to provide them with enough rice to get through the winter. Authorities said per cent of females sold wind up as prostitutes, in the hundreds of red light districts in Japan's big cities. Prostitution in Japan is legal and built-in "dollar industry" that preys on thousands of American soldiers stationed in Japan and thousands more wHo come to the country for brief "rest and relaxation" leaves from Korea. There are an estimated 30,000 such women in Tokyo alone and an example of the scale of the white slavery methods involving farmers' daughters was disclosed by Japancse police last Saturday. Trafficker Arrested They arrested one human-slave trafficker and charged him with selling 100 girls into houses of illfame during the past two years.
The police board said at the same time they "discovered" 134 other girls under 20 sold into prostitution in a six-month period. The number of undisclosed cases is believed to be in the thousands, for police, nabbed 1,149 "brokers" last each was charged with acting as a midleman between farmers and a house of prostitution. In many of these cases prosecution was dropped. The white-slave merchant arrested Saturday for selling 100 girls will get off with a light sentence, according to officials who are fighting the practice, because of the laxity of Japanese laws. They said he will.
be charged only with violating the general labor law concerning the employment of minors. Rural Japanese farmers and their children do not attach any particular odious significance to the misled into believing they are dipractice, although most farmers are recting their children into legitimate trades as apprentices. Parents Hoodwinked Most girls are sold with the understanding, for example, that they will be trained as clerks, nursemaids or waitresses, and eventually released from their jobs to marry. In actual fact, according to rural social workers, the woods are full of ex-prostitutes coming to the rural areas looking for farmers in distress. They spot likely looking recruits for houses of ill-fame, then set the male "broker" on the job negotiating the purchase of the daughter.
The influential Tokyo Times warned: "As as such filial sacrifices are considered noble and virtuous, there is little hope of putting an end to this detestable human trafficking. The true missions of educators should lie in boldly challanging this outmoded code of feudalistic morality." Police agree they are almost helpless to stem the sales so long as attitudes in the rural areas remain the same as they, were 300 years ago. They soberly predict an upsurge in sales, and lower prices in the spring. Wm. B.
