Newspaper Page Text.'.I, PAGE TWO Gary Housewives Launch Own Drive Against Rackets Gary, Ind., July 29 tlPi About 100 Gary housewives, determined to rid the steel town of sin and vice, paraded as pickets before 17 bawdy house and bookie joints today. Despite the 95-degree heat, the women vowed to continue their picketing until lawless elements were driven from the city. And though they sometimes partook of refreshments offered by the proprietors they picketed, they steadfastly refused to en ter the establishments to cool off In their air-conditioned at mospheres. The pickets were members of the women's citizens committee organized last spring when a school teacher. Mary Cheever, was slain brutally in an alley. They contend that thieves, cur purses and murderers have been attracted to the city by wide open gambling and prostitution. They staged an all-out fight to clamp a lid on the city last spring but the campaign subsided after offi cials promised to clean the city up. The women charge that the of ficials failed to do so. Back In Action . "We decided Gary Is not a closed town after all. despite our campaign, so the WCC is back in action again," said temporary chairman Mrs. Russell Griffith. The militant women wore sim ple sashes over their shoulders with the Initials "W.C.C." em blazoned on them. Grey-haired social leaders trudged in a circle before one suspected brothel while the girls inside peeped at them from be hind dingy lace curtains. The campaign seemed to be having initial success. Few men braved the pickets' staring eyes to enter the play spots or gambl s Jng houses. -V The operators of the establish ., ments were good humored about the campaign. One poolhall owner, accused by the WCC of operating a bookie and baseball pool, offered the pickets chairs and refreshments. They accepted. But they turned down his offer to come inside and enioy his air conditioning. The city's supply of babysitters was drained by the picketing. Most of the women are mothers and had to hire someone to care for their kids while they tried "to make this town safe for children to live In." Mayor Eugene Swartz and Sjpt Peter Eillick. criticized by e committee often for alleged failure to stamp out vice, said they endorsed the women's efforts.

Krazier, on trial for killing the mother of his estrang ed girl friend, told the story of his blighted love affair so tear fully that women spectators sob bed and swooned in the packed courtroom. Frazier is accused of shooting Mrs. Mary Thompson to death in her Atheiton, Calif., home on March 9 after the wealthy widow had forbidden him to see her daughter, Doris. Doris and her twin sister. Sharle, were wounded In the shooting. Frazier, who contends that the shooting was the accidental after math of his attempt to kill him self, broke into tears six times as in dramatic, Victorian phrases he told of his first meeting with Doris in 1943. The former air force captain said he met her through her younger sister, Joanne. "1 remember as If it were last night the picture of her beauty dressed in silver and white and wearing my orchids," he said. Scene Dramatic Telling of his leave-taking of Doris, who was then secretly and unhappily married, Frazier sob bed: "I kissed her. I remember her smile. There was no smile so beautiful as one that struggles through tears." Sniffles and sobs were audible throughout the tense courtroom. Frazier said he was working at his home in Winston-Salem, ft. C after the war when he received a Christmas card from Doris. "At the bottom was a note, written in her own handwriting, that she wanted me to come and visit her. I forgot the other cards. My heart was rocking like a mo torboat." He accepted the invitation, he said, and was met bv Doris at the railway station. Describing her three-quarter length blue gabar dine coat, he sighed: "She looks good in blue. These blooms that she has dropped have taken root in mymemory." . Here Frazier broke down. As his attorney ran for a glass of water, a fainting spectator was carried from the courtroom. Salem Population Over 50 Thousand Salem, July 29 tP Postmaster Albert C. Gragg estimated today that Salem's population now is 52,848. Gragg said he arrived at that figure by multiplying the number of mail stops his carriers make by 4Man accepted postoffice estimating gqide. The greater Salem area total of persons served by the Salem postoffice on its city, mounted and rural routes is 85.280 by the same method of estimating. His estimate for Salem itself does not include the 986 estimated to live in the Kingwood heights district across the Willamette river, re cently annexed to Salem. The 1940 federal census listed Salem's population at 30.908. I TO ACT AS ADVISER ! Salem, July 29 'IPLieut.

July 29 i The national committer on resources charged today that private power interests "guided the hands" of the governors of Idaho and Mon tana as they wrote opinions of the reclamation bureau -army engi neer program for the Columbia river basin. A statement from Ben Stong, executive secretary of the com mittee, said the similarities be tween the opinions of Gov. John W. Bonner of Montana and C, A. Robins of Idaho were a "dead give-away." Stong also charged that the same power influences were re-! vealed in the statements of L. C.

The heartbroken girl. Ly Elyse Broeckmann. said she has lessjshown that there ls or wUl ln than eight weeks to make the trip under the GI fiance act. She must get to the United States by September 21, when her permis sion to leave Germany expires. Her fiance, Charles Eller, 27, a former master sergeant, was reported in dispatches from Fres no to be totally disabled from the effects of pneumonia and tuberculosis. Eller, longing for his German sweetheart, offered either one of his own blue eyes to anyone who would help him bring Ly from Germany. "No. no." the girl cried when she was told of Eller's offer. "Take my brown eyes instead." As a secondary proposal, she offered to work as a dentist for a year without salary in return for passage to the U.S. Sinking Fast Ly, a dentist, said she first met Eller three years ago when he walked into her office and sat down in her chair to have a tooth fixed. Their romance went on for two years. Last year Eller fell ill and was flown to the U.S. for hos pitalization. "His mother wrote me' he is sinking very fast," Ly said. "May be I could have him for two years maybe for just two months." She wrote a brief note to cheer up her disabled fiance: "Dear Charlie: Please do not offer your blue eyes. Take mine. I am willing to give my brown eyes away. Keep hoping. Some one sure "will help us." Last Christmas, she said, she saved 150 marks ($45) and tele phoned Eller at his hospital in the U.S. She herself was in a German hospital at the time. She said Eller wrote her that he did not have enough money to pay her plane passage to the U.S. but that he had enough for a third-class passage by ship. She tried for a booking, she said, but found there was no pas sage to be had within the time limit. You Asked tor It! NOW WE'VE GOT IT Got What?

Stong twiil the comprehensive Columbia basin program was de signed to "stop a Columbia valley administration." "It is apparent," his statement snld, "that most of the officials who endorsed the army-buivau plan (with some very important reservations, however) served us Charley McCarthy's for highly placed foes of CVA." Quotations Given Stong's statement included quo tations from Robins, Uonner and Rishop on the question of trims- mission lines. lie quoted. Robins as saying: "Neither should long transmis sion lines be extended Into an area or state unless it can be "Tu . ,' , .. . 1 ".f. 2 iSi'i or willingness of the local sys tems, public and private, to sup ply and or transmit." He quoted Bonner on the sumo point: "Long transmission lines should not be extended Into areas ul ready being served unless it can be clearly shown that there is or will be in the future a need for extra power in the area which is beyond the ability or willing ness of the local systems, public or private, to supply." He quoted Bishop: -"Long transm i s s 1 o n lines should not be extended into an area unless it can be clearly the near future, a need for the power in that area, beyond the ability or willingness of the local systems, public or private, to supply." Present law requires that be fore any reclamation or flood con trol program is put into effect comments from local and stale of ficials must be sought by the af fected federal agency.
