TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuriday, April 5, 1956 Detroit Call Girl Racket Smashed in Raids by Police Detroit :U.R Detroit police mashed a vice ring Wednesday whose "extremely attractive" call girls included housewives and teenagers paid as much as $300 a date. Inspector Clayton Nowlin of the Vice Squad called the ring the "most vicious I ever encount ered in all my years on the department." The girls are extremely attrac tive and so well dressed that they were able to appear in the better hotels and restaurants without raising suspicion," Now lin said. Warrants Issued Ten men and five women were named in warrants issued by the prosecutor's office and an 18-year-old girl also was held as a witness. Police said at least 30 to 50 girls and women were involved and additional arrests were expected. Nowlin said about 20 teenage girls and housewives were "most active" in the ring whose pa trons included "some very big people." "The serious part of It is that some of the girls were no more than 15 when they got tied op with these people," Nowlin said. Another detective said at least one of the women had three children' and another was the former wife of a wealthy and socially prominent man. Babysitters Furnished He said the ring furnished babysitters for the housewives when they were called to hotels j on "dates." j Detectives said address books teized in 10 pre-dawn raids "Wednesday contained the names of more than 1,000 customers "enough to fill a good sized tele phone directory." Nowlin said he learned of one Instance where an exceptionally beautiful call girl sold her tele phone number and address book to another girl for $l,opO. Police named Charles Chilli Winters, 27, ai head man of the ring. Absentee Voters Being Urged to Cast Vote in Coming Election Klamath Loggers Blast Road Group Klamath 'Falls (U.R) Loggers in the Klamath Falls area leveled a sharp blast at the State High way Department yesterday, claiming that poor maintenance on a 12-mile stretch of the Green Springs road has resulted in closure to traffic by vehicles of more than 1100 pounds. The loggers, through the coun ty Chamber of Commerce road committee, said that the curtail ment of heavy vehicles over the road is working a hardship on about 1000 wage earners and a half-million dollar payroll is in jeopardy. They said that 10 to 15 saw mills in the area are threatened with a log shortage unless the road is reopened shortly. They contend that lack of maintenance brought about the closure. Neuberger To Seek Lower Retiring Age Oregon City (U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger said here last night that this Congress will go down in history as "a complete failure" if it does not lower the age for women to benefit from the social security program. Neuberger, in a speech deliv ered before Clackamas county Democrats, said that he would fight to bring to the Senate floor a bill lowering the retirement age for women from 65 to 62. The Oregon Democrat charged that a combination of Republi cans and Southern Democrats in Congress are holding up social security legislation. He added that the United States is lagging behind Canada and many of the Scandinavian nations in provid ing social security legislation.
