Geisha Girl's Tip Leads to Gold In Tokyo Bay
Tokyo dispatch says a Geisha girl’s tip led Lt. E V Nielsen to two truckloads of metal ingots in Tokyo Bay. Officers say the ingots, weighing 75 pounds each first identified as platinum, lay buried in mud near a former maritime school dock. An informant claimed the money was intended to build up a greater Japan after unrest, with the tip traced to a social club of elderly shopkeepers and businessmen. The discovery comes after the group’s suspicion of militarists’ control and trust in American forces.
