'TooMSnv- 5;.T' T Prostitutes, Says Mayor ; GALVESTON jTex. Wr-G!v-t jn's ffiayor, who says e ants 5 this island resort ty to be "open but clean," it tracking down on ' prostitufes. . . There are too iany of tm ! an they've ggt to quit "hustling in taverns," declares M ay o r Gcc-rge Hy Clough. It would be wrong to assume , from this that Mayor Clough is agaigst prostitutes. He won elec tion last May on a platform that Galveston should continue to serve up whisky, gambling and women to all comers. A seaport town, and especially tone so dependent on the tourist trade as this island city of about 70,000 people, has to have bawdy houses, Clough believes. SOME LIMITS But he would like to see them confined to one district, prefer ably their historic Postoffice Street area here. And would like to see the number of bawdy houses held within some limits. This week the American Social Hygiene Assn. reported to Clough that it found 18 bawdy houses operating here, 18 bars where prostitutes were soliciting, 1 hotel with a resident prostitute and 6 hotels where prostitutes rented rooms. That, declared Clough, is too many. Wednesday night, police acting under his orders closed up one bar and arrested eight women vagrants at the site. "I am warning all club opera tors in the city limits they have the rest of the week to stop let King these Women in," Clough said. No matter who runs it. BACK DOOR BUSINESS Despite orders by Dist. Atty. Marsene Johnston Jr. that all bawdy houses be closed, the hy giene group said, that lias been "no substantial change in prosti tution activities." Clough admitted that the girls had "been flitting from one room ing house to another" and that some hotels with front doors locked were doing business via back entrances. Beginning next week, the mayor declared, any tavern caught with prostitutes soliciting on the prem ises will be closed "and s'ay closed. We Will Give You .... For your on a brand new ...

(NEA) Holdup Men Flee Workshop After Gun Battle With Guard NEW YORK im Two gunmen invaded a Bronx workshop for the partially disabled Wednesday in a vain bid for a $5,000 payroll They fled empty-handed after a blazing gun battle with a guard. One of the gunmen, shot in the left shoulder, was nabbed min utes later by an off-duty police man. - Also wounded in the shooting were the guard, Gerald EU;ot, 40, and a woman clerical employe, Lottie Friedlander, 40. All were reported in good condition. Some 150 sewing workers, al most all suffering from tuber culosis or heart ailments, hit the floor as gunfire echoed in the halls of Altro Workshops, Inc., run by the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies. Thirteen shots were exchanged between the guard and the two stickup men. About 20 minutes after the pay roll was brought in, Asst.

Elliot noticed the two gunmen as they approached, and yelled out: "Drop your guns." The gunmen began to fire. Elliot returned the fire until the thugs whirled around and fled the building. Patrolman James Rozakis, sev en times cited for bravery on the police force at the age of 24, saw the two as they were fleeing. He drew his revolver and chased them, first in his car then on foot, until he cornered one. Police identified him as Domi nick De Gennaro, 40, Schenect ady, N. Y., recently released from Clinton State Prison at Danne mora, where he served time for robbery. In 1949, Mole Hill, W.Va. changed its name to Mountain.

I But there was something about this prisoner Dr. Samuel .H. Sheppard that attracted a horde of newsmen and a score of other persons when' he arrived at the penitentiary Wednesday after noon. ' Dr. Sam, aj newspapers Jiad headlined his name across the country, was convicted last Dec. 21 of tne murder of his pregnant wife Marilyn, 31. Her battered body was found early July 4, 1954, m the bedroom of their home in Bay Village, a Cleveland suburb. The 31-year-old osteopath de nied his guilt through the long trial. He said his wife was killed by a "bushy-haired" intruder who also had attacked him and knocked him unconscious. Tues day an appellate court in Cleve land had turned down his second appeal for a new trial. . Now comes the waiting at least 10 years before Sheppard will be eligible for parole on his second-degree murder conviction. He will spend the first 10 days at the penitentiary in a quaran tine ward where he will be given tests to determine what work he is best suited for.

Sheppard spent almost a year in Cuyahoga County Jail awaiting tne outcome of his case, a year that will not count toward his prison term. Sheppard was taken here by car, handcuffed to another prison er, Michael Jacko, 47, a Cleve land robber. With them were two Cuyahoga County deputy sheriffs, Mike Ucceilo and Dave Yettra. NO COMMENT Ucccllo stepped out of the police cruiser first, . followed by Shep pard and Jacko. Flashbulbs popped as Sheppard, clasping a book of poetry and a large picture of his son Chip, walked about 20 yards to the prison entrance. A newsman asked Sheppard If he had anything to say. Sheppard did not answer. "He seemed to enjoy the ride after being cooped up in the county jail so long," said Ucceilo. He was a good prisoner.
