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.
Near Record Liquor
Fund Due Counties
Salem (U.R) Oregon counties
are in for their second largest
take from quarterly liquor com
mission revenues since the com
mission was formed, officials said
here yesterday.
Bruce Williams, chairman of
the commission, said that $5,275,
766 over and above working cap
ital will be allotted to counties,
cities and the state's general
fund.
' Williams said the large amount
to be allocated this quarter is
due to the release of monies pre
viously held for working capital.
The state's general fund will
receive S4.805.000 and cities and
counties will divide up $470,766
on a population basis.
