' Washington -tUPfi- Motorists
- American and foreign -proved
again In 1S62 as in
1961 that they can do the
craziest things or that crazy
things can happen to them.
Some spent unusual or un
lawful years behind the
wheel. Others spent much
time before a judge. And one
just plainly disappeared.
A record of their foibles
was kept in a UPI file
throughout 1982 so this sum
up dispatch could be written.
The vanishing driver was
one of 12 entered in a stock
car race at Redditch, Eng
land. One driver hit a tree.
, Another spun into a field.
Three ended up in the wrong
town and, as we said, one dis
appeared altogether.
Motorists in court paid
through the nose, feet, and
seat of their pants.
Awarded 14.500
A London lady was award
ed $4,500 In damages for an
automobile accident which
left her, according to doctors,
permanently sniffling and
sneezing.
In Turkey, when the police
caught a drinking driver, they
hauled him 20 miles from his
car and made him walk back
accompanied by a slow-mov1
ing police car. When he got
back he was sober.
"This Is the first time I've
heard of this (traffic) ticket
the mother of a 16-year-old
boy told a Houston, Tex.,
judge. "But he is too big, and
I can't catch him to give him
one (a spanking)," she said
The judge ordered the boy to
lean over a table.' A police
man loaned the mother a belt,
Courts were entertaining a
number of other offenders.
Two litterbugs in Monticello,
Ind., chose to sweep off a
mile -long stretch of road
rather than go to jail.

Woman Holdup
An Indianapolis woman was
placed on two years probation
for holding up a finance com
pany with an antique pistol to
get money for payments on
her old car.
In Salford, England, a 16-year-old
m o t o rc yclist was
fined for speeding. His plea
was that his speedometer be
came covered with heather on
a trip from Scotland.
A Menlo Park, Calif., judge
jailed on a drunk charge one
of two men in a car which
overturned on a freeway. A
patrolman testified both men
denied driving the car and, he
said, "from the looks of it
that could very well be."
George T. Fitzgerald, 35,
told a Camden, N.J., judgt he
had been driving 17 years
without a license, and didn't
know how many tickets he
had received for that offense.
Woodrow W. Carter asked
for pardons of two convictions
in two months for driving
without a license. He said he
needed the pardons to qualify
for a Maine driver's license.
And this was the kind of
fine we'd all like to pay; A
city street sweeper crew in
London, England, took a tea
break and returned to find
police had towed off their
dustcart for illegal parking.
The 15.60 fine was paid to the
Borough of Kensington, where
the cart was parked, by the
Borough of Kensington, which
employs the sweepers.
Chief Fired
It really happened: St.
Mary's, Ontario, fired Police
Chief John Western for hand
ing out too many parking tick
ets, which, said the town coun
cil, was driving shoppers to
other communities.
Small cars attracted strange
birds. A pheasant, which the
driver described as of "low
character," attacked his "poor
defenseless" little, car on a
New Hampshire seaside drive.
Out of the skies over Mel
rose, New Mexico, an eagle
with a six - foot wingspan
swooped down on a small car,
crashed through the wind
shield, and clawed the two
occupants.
There was an unusual re
union at a Honolulu intersec
tion. Traffic Investigator Wll
liam Kaimikaua wrote a cita
tion for Mcrvyn C. Thomp
son, whose car had struck one
driven by Robert Smelter -just
as tie had done a year
before when Thompson's car
collided with Smelter's.
Horses, Faster
Illinois police closed their
investigation into a report
that a man was shoved into a
car trunk by another man
who then drove off when they
learned they were two me
chanics looking for a trouble
some noise.
The Chicago Transit Au
thority proudly reported the
average speed of its bus runs
increased to 11.7 miles an
hour, whereupon a local news
paper pointed out that in 1906
horse cars on State street
averaged 12 miles an hour.
Finally, the truck drivers
passing through Graveley,
England, thought they had
found the frosting on their
1962 cake.
There, along the side of the
road through town, was a
beautiful (35-25-35) woman in
tight slacks and a brief blouse
trying to hitch a ride.
"I saw truck drivers whis
tling at a pretty girl in the
village," said Mrs. Anne Mc
Donald, "so I put on my beach
clothes, walked down the vil
lage wiggling my hips and
stuck out my thumb as though
I were hitch-hiking."
Mother Acts
As you might have guessed,
and, as Mrs. ' McDonald con
firmed, "it wasn't long before
the first truck stopped."
But what she had in mind
was not what many red-blood
ed trucK arivers seemed to
suspect. Mrs. McDonald, moth,
er of four, was worrying
about drivers ignoring the 30
mile -per-hour speed limit
through the small village.
When the first, and succeed
ing truck drivers stopped, she
told them "I do hope you will
observe the speed limit
through our village. Thank
you for stopping."
After two weeks of this,
Mrs. McDonald quit.
Some of the responses from
the disappointed truckers, she
said, were "not very nice."
of a financial payoff to set
tle the Philippine claim to
North Borneo is almost sure
to come up when the British
and Philipinos hold talks in
London starting today, ac
cording to informed sources
here.
Most likely, the Philippine
delegation, headed by Vice
President and Foreign Secre
tary Emmanuel Pelaez, will
be first to broach the subject.
The Philippines made a
formal claim to sovereignty
over the territory last June.
British North Borneo, with a
population of about 500,000 in
an area of 29,000 square
miles, is located less than 30
miles from the southernmost
Philippine islands.
The Philippine claim is
based on the contention that
the territory was leased to a
British company by the Phil
ipino sultan of Sulu in 1878.
The heirs of the sultan have
for years been clamoring for
a return of the territory which
the British say was sold out
right for an annual fee.
Would Accept Payoff
Nicasio Osmena, a Filipino
attorney representing the sul
tan's heirs, said that the heirs
would be more than willing to
accept a financial payoff in
lieu of sovereignty over the
territory.
In what perhaps was a trial
balloon, Osmena claims he
had heard that the Malayan
embassy had offered the Phil
ippines $60 million to drop
the clam.
"We have done absolutely
nothing of the sort," said Bert
Talalla, press officer of the
Malayan embassy.
"Absolutely absurd," said a
British embassy spokesman.
"We haven't heard any
thing about it," said a Philip
pine foreign office spokes
man. While the "price" of $60
million appears too high, it
does serve to indicate what is
going on in the minds of Os
mena and his clients.
Just how much influence
they will wield with the Pe
laez delegation remains to be
seen. Osmena indirectly indi
cated the influence of the
heirs over the Pelaez group
was only slight.
Might Be Answer
But a financial settlement
might be an answer to the dis-
pute which Malayan Premier
Tengku Abdul Rahman feels
could disrupt not only the
fledgling association of south
east Asia, but also his pro
posed Malaysia Federation to
bring together the three Bor
neo territories with Singapore
and Malaya.
Rahman has termed the
Philippine claim to British
North Borneo as strictly a
matter between the British
and the Philippines. But he
has shown keen interest.
Some feel the Philippines,
under the leadership of Pres
ident Diosdado Macapagai.
has gone out on a limb in
making its claim. An outright
rejection from Britain would
cost Macapagal considerable
prestige at home and in the
eyes of the average Filipino
-who is acutely aware of the
claim-it would seem a kick
in the face.
On the other hand, the Brit
ish seem quite unlikely to
hand over the territory to the
Philippines under any condi
tions. Neither the Philippines nor
Britain appear particularly
interested in staging elections
in Borneo to settle the mat
ter. The Philippines, in par
ticular, knows it would un
doubtedly lose by an over
whelming margin.
Effort Too Much
For its part, B r 1 tai n
wouldn't be too keen on elec
tions because of the effort in
volved. General elections
have never been held in
North Borneo.
If elections were held they
might tend to show that the
people of Borneo weren't par
ticularly interested in joining
either the Philippines or Mal
aysia. Britain, which will be com
pletely out of southeast Asia
with the coming of Malaysia,
now scheduled for Aug. 31,
wants to leave a neat pack
age behind. The Malaysia fed
eration under Rahman, a
strong anti-communist, would
fit the bill.
Malaysia is much pre
ferred by the British as com
pared with an independent
federation of the three Bor
neo territories proposed by
Brunei Revolutionary A. M.
Azarhari and other political
leaders in Sarawak and Brit
ish North Borneo.
If the Borneo territories do

Unique Club Has
unas Song
Supplants Drink
By SANDRA LEGATZ
United Press International
Detroit (UPD - Hollywood's
famed Romanoff's closed re- -
cently because of decreasing
patronage zrom the w nine
and dining crowd. Predictions
followed that many such sup
per clubs would meet with the
same fate.
But about the same time, a
unique supper club ouened
here to a standing room only
crowd which has kept the
place filled almost every
night since then.
It is a Christian suDDer club
where hymns and handclap
ping have been substituted tor
drinking and dancing and cig
arettes are not sold.
Sometimes I wish we
weren't doing so well," said
Ed Darling, manager of the
Crossroads Supper club. We
haven't been setting much
sleep lately."
Crossroads is the result of
10 years of plannins by area
Christian leaders. The club.
which formerly housed a con
ventional restaurant, is oDcr-
ated by Trinity Association, a
non-profit organization cre
ated by 18 local Protestant
businessmen.
Crossroads Filled
Since Dec. 15 when Ethel
Waters was on hand to enter
tain the club's "First Nlght-
ers, Crossroads has been
filled to its 600-person capac
ity through Sunday nights,
with heavy crowds on the oth
er nights.
Darling, a former member
of the Four Londons dance
team and a prominent lay fig
ure in Christian work in De
trolt, said that "our main pur
pose Is to provide a dining
place where liquor is not
served. We don't mean to crit
icize those who do indulge,
but rather, offer a place of
entertainment for those whose
beliefs prohibit drinking.."
Proceeds from the restau
rant will go to various mis
sions, youth organizations, or
phanages and schools as of
each Dec. 1.
Darling said to meet the de
mands of increasing patron
age, a banquet room with a
ISO-person capacity will be
opened soon. Crossroads pres
ently employs 50 persons. Fif
teen additional waitresses will
be added In the near future.
Idea Catches On
"The Idea of a Christian
supper club is beginning to
catch on from coast to coast,"
he said. "We have had many
inquiries from groups In var
ious cities where clubs may be
opened. Toronto may be open- .
Ing up such a place soon."
Such supper clubs ("night
club" has an objectionable
connotation to Darling) also
provide showcase for Chris
tian talent.
"We feature entertainment
five of the six nights a week
that we are open and all of it
must have a 'Christ-centered
theme," Darling said.
"We invite such performers
as Ethel Waters, George Bev
erly Shea and Stuart Hamb
len. We hope to get such art
ists as Jerome Hines to pre
sent operatic numbers," he
said.
"It Is also not unusual to
hear the diners singing out a
rousing chorus of 'Let Me
Call You Sweetheart'."
Invites Graham
Darling, 48, who was Evan
gelist Billy Graham's execu
tive secretary from 10S8 to
1961, said Graham will also
be Invited to speak to supper
club audiences.
"Crossroads has f d u n d
great acceptance with fam
ilies Including young people
who come here mainly on the
weekends," he said. "We offer
anything from a club dinner
to steak with all the trimmings."
Crossroads Is also home of
radio station WBFG-FM which
broadcasts sacred music 24
hours a day. Recently initi
ated at the club was the
breakfast clubtyme program
which Is broadcast every
week day morning at 9:30.
The program features Inter
views with various guests.
As in any business, you Hive
the people what thev want. '
And In this case It Is good,
clean fun in a warm family
atmosphere where the drlnka
are soda and twisters give
way to toe-tappers.
