Call Girl Service Charges Angrily Denied by Jelke New York (U.R) Mintot F. (Mickey) Jelke, 22-year-old so cialite heir to a multi-million dollar oleomargarine fortune, said Saturday he and his stun ning blonde "steady girl" were iust watching television when the police burst into his apart ment Thursday night and hauled them off to jail on charges he was running a $500-a-night call girl service. Jelke, minus the blonde, but accompanied by a red-haired divorcee and an unemployed press agent, appeared in felony court Saturday for hearing on charges they ran a cafe-society vice ring that kept beauteous models and TV actresses in spending money provided by tired business men. Hearing Adjourned The hearing was adjourned to Monday, but Jelke again denied to reporters that he ever traf ficked in women. "Sure I know a lot of girls," Jelke told reporters angrily. "Who doesn't? That doesn't make me a procurer. This is a bum rap. I've never taken money from any girl in my whole life." Jelke said he and Sylvia Eder, 24, who was held with him as ta material witness, were "watch ing television as we'often do" in his swank east side apartment, when the raiders burst in on them. I steady girl. I've been going with her for six months. We are not engaged as yet. She's above re proach." He said they sat home and watched television lots of nights "because I can't afford to go to night clubs and places like that." The handsome, pint-sized so cialite appeared in court with two attorneys, Martin Benja min, who had arranged his $50,000 bail Friday, and Edward Broderick, noted criminal at torney, who said he was engaged by Jelke's father who telephoned him Saturday morning from Chicago.

To Receive Consideration Salem U.R) A new state de partment of motor vehicles will be top item on the list of pro posals to be considered by the Highway Legislative Interim committee when it meets in Sa lem September 1, according to State Senator Elmo Smith of Summerfield Sees Eisenhower Victory Grand Rapids, Mich. (U.R) GOP National Chairman Arthur E. Summerfield predicted Satur day the Republicans will win in November because the American people are "fed up with mis management,' bungling and cor ruption." "The American people are fed up with one disaster after an other in the field of international relations, fed up with the deadly hodge-podge of Socialist doc trine, profligate spending, higher and higher taxes, and more in flation and unbelievable corrup tion," Summerfield said. - "The American people are on the march . . . They are going to clean house from top to bottom. And in our two great nominees Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon we have given them the men to do the job." " Summerfield, former national committeeman from Michigan, spoke before the Michigan Re publican state convention.

Would Affect 800 The proposed consolidation of several state divisions now scat tered through the Secretary of State's office and the Public Utilities Commission would af fect more than 800 state employ ees and highway revenues of more than $59,000,000 a year. The plan is now being put into bill form by the code revision committee. It would strip the Secretary of State's office of about 600 employees and take another 200 away from the Pub lic Utilities Commission. Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry would be left with only the accounting, audits, buildings and grounds and election divi sions, if the bill becomes law. Estimated $1,000,000 Saving Sen. Smith said he is con vinced the plan would save the taxpayers no less than $1,000, 000 a year, entirely through re duction of administrative costs. Oregon takes in about $50, 000,000 a year for highway pur poses and it costs approximately seven per cent of that for ad ministration. By lumping the va rious motor vehicle divisions to gether under a single adminis trator, appointed by the gover nor and confirmed by the senate, a substantial savings could be realized, proponents of the meas ure believe.

Miners, Operators Receive News With Mixed Emotions Pittsburg (U.R) Leading coal mine operators here and the rank and file of the United Mine Workers union Saturday receiv ed John L. Lewis' one-week "me morial" shutdown of the nation's mines with mixed emotions. George H. Love, president of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co., the industry's largest, said Lewis was taking work away from his own men. "Almost Inhuman" "Most of the men around Pitts burgh mines have only been working two or three days a week," Love said, "and this shutdown won't hurt the indus try's economy." It's hard and almost inhuman." Lewis, who heads the United Mine Workers, charged in Wash ington that the industry repeat edly violated safety rules which he said "approximates criminal intent."
