Survey of Vice Conditions
In Nation's Communities
Is Part of Group's Duties
Confidential "undercover
surveys of vice conditions in
communities across the nation
including Medford are one
service "of the American So
cial Hygiene association,
spokesman said here Monday
The spokesman, Donald A
Clarke, appeared at the Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce weekly roundtable
luncheon to discuss the associ
ation's efforts to combat vice,
crime, juvenile 'delinquency,
social disease and the break
down of family life.
The association was aided
last year by a $108 outlay
from the United Medford Cru
sade.- A $165 quota for the
ASHA has been set for the
Crusade's fund drive this fall,
according to Howard B. Cook,
Crusade executive secretary
who appeared with Clarke at
the luncheon.
Confidential Surveys
The confidential- surveys,
Clarke said, are directed from
a New York office to which
the investigators reply directly.
The survey results, he con
tinued, are forwarded for in
formation and corrective ac1
tion to mayors, city managers,
chiefs of police, state ' attor
neys general and boards of
health.
Clarke said after the lunch
eon that a survey of Medford
had been made in the last two
or three years, he was not
sure exactly when.
Medford is now a "clean"
city, he said. But he warned
that it could become vice-rid
den again if officials and citi
zens relaxed their vigilance.
He said there used to be a
huge vice 'ring operating
throughout Oregon and the
west coast.
Survey Results
Asked if the results of the
recent survey he referred to
might be available locally;
Clarke said he thought the re
port would probably (be found
at tne state level, several city
and county officials Tuesday
said they were not familiar
with any such report.
"I can state categorically-,"
Clarke told the small group
at the roundtable, "that you
do not have commercial vice
without graft. Somebody is
getting something out of it.
Somebody is being paid off."
"One of the best methods
of prevention" is to keep a
community "informed and
alerted," Clarke said.
He later stated, however,
that while vice survey reports
favorable to a community are
often released to the press and
public, those disclosing unfa
vorable conditions are usually
submitted to local officials, in
confidence. He said such un
favorable reports would be
made public only "as a last
resort" in cases where the of
ficials failed to take action on
their own.
Vice and Graft
Asked if he considered this
the best practice-since, if as
he said, vice and graft went
together it was possible the
officials who received the re
ports in confidence Were in
volved in. graft themselves-
Clarke replied that public of
ficials were assumed to be
honest and sincere in all cases
until proven otherwise.
Some -police chiefs, he as
serted, are honestly not aware
of vice conditions in their own
communities. He explained
this by citing the devious
methods of underworld opera- J
tors. -
On the nation's venereal
disease problem and its in
roads into' the ranks of teen
agers, Clarke reported that a
new infection takes place" at
least once every 11 minutes
and possibly as often as once
ever three minutes. One in ev
ery 200 American teen-agers
will acquire venereal disease
this year, he asserted.
Clarke ' said the Oregon
state board of health has re
ported an increase of 3V
times in the number of teen
agers incurring venereal dis
ease in the past decade. Ille
gitimate, children, , he added,
are also on the rise. , i
Voluntary Service Agency
The ASHA, he said, is a 47-
year-old yoluntary community
service agency dedicated to
social health primarly through
preservation of the family.
Besides its investigatory
work, the ASHA conducts a
widespread . education pro
gram through pamphlets and
training teachers in under
