Call Girl Service Charges
Angrily Denied by Jelke

cialite heir to a multi-million
dollar oleomargarine fortune,
said Saturday he and his stun
ning blonde "steady girl" were

them off to jail on charges he

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

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.

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.

730 Job Openings Set
In State Hospitals
Salem (U.R) Shorter hours in
state - operated hospitals will
create about 130 openings for
hospital personnel by Septem
ber 1, the State Civil Service
Commission said Saturday.
Special examinations will be
held in the Portland State Of
fice Building Monday for hos
pital aides to fill the vacancies
that will be created.
The commission said there
would be several immediate
openings and that appointments
probably would be made as soon
as applicants had completed
their examinations. Most 'open
ings will be in Salem and Pen
dleton. Applications from man
and wife teams were encouraged.

John Day, chairman of the com
mittee. 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.
