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.

Dramatic Story
Told by Murder
Trial Defendant
Redwood City, Cal July 9 ilPi
Kermit O. 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.

Over 50 Thousand
Salem, July 29 tP Postmaster
Albert C. Gragg estimated today
that Salem's population now is

The greater Salem area total
of persons served by the Salem
postoffice on its city, mounted
and rural routes is 85.280 by the

Hit for Private
Washington. July 29 i The
national committer on resources
charged today that private power
interests "guided the hands" of
the governors of Idaho and Mon

river basin.
A statement from Ben Stong,
executive secretary of the com

German Girl
Offers Eyes
For Passage
Oberramstadt, Germany, July
29 ilHi A pretty German fraulein
today offered both her eyes or
a year's free work as a dentist
in return for passage to Cali
fornia to visit her GI fiance be
fore he dies.
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.
