Georgia City Establishes
Record in Control of Vice
Fortnight Action cIeors
Community Of Prostitutes

ly two decades b fore Pearl
Harbor tolerated open houses
of prostitution" was once COM
pared with the wide open
towns of the West during their
widest days" Loveless recalled.
The town at one time was sin
gled out for criticism by the
Secretary of War.
But now, the captain added,
il has changed from Fort Ben
ning's number one problem Ito
its present position in which no
prostitution or vcnereal disease
problem EXISTS"
This was brought about, Love-
less said, by a hard-hitting civil
ian-action campaign which was
backed by Army cooperation
and was aimed at complete sup
preston of prostitution.
While the syphilis rate among
present u. S. soldiers has been
reported the lowest in history,
Army officers see venereal dis
ease as still a serious problem,
especially in the southeast, with
its heavy concentrations of men
in training.
The problem of venereal dis
ease in the soldiers is essential
ly a problem of prostitution"
Captain Loveless declared, al
though many people continue
to believe that the so-called reg
imented or controlled red light
district is the answer"
He contended that call pros
titutes are or will be infected
w h venereal disease" and
that medical examinations -
even if they provided a sure
check - would have to be con-
Quoted constantly, which would
not be practical.
Phenix City's campaign was
launched with warning to OPP
orators of houses of prostitu-
ton, honky-tonks, tourist cab
ms and OF her questionable
places to Immediately cease
prostitu ion activities or be
prosecuted. Arrest of those who
failed to heed the warning fol-
lowed and convictions were Sc
cured in IS per cent of the
cases.
At the same time, beer, dance
hall, whiskey, tourist cabin and
similar &c enses were taken
away from a number of estab-
lishments, and the Army de-
clared many loft limits" for
Army personnel.

that administration forces might

HEADS FOR SHORE
The enemy flying boat soon
landed near one of the islands
and turned toward shore. AS he
was taxing for shelter, Captain
Lucas flew low across his wing.
AS the fortress pulled up, the
tail-gunner, Technical Sergeant
Edward Spetch, of Seymour,
Conn, sprayed the Jap craft
with his so caliber bullets. The
plane exploded and burned.
Although the Japs fired until
they were forced down, they hit
the fortress only nine times, one
of the hits being a cannon shell
which tore a hole in the
bomber's right wing. None
aboard the fortress was injured.
Captain Lucas crew included
Lieut.. Paul Wilson, Negaunec,

Lieutenant Lancaster, the 9TH

teasing his victim.
He ran on to Jap flying boat
one morning off Rendova Island
in the Solomon Archipelago. At

the Japanese plane exploded.

City Revanps
Home Ceiling
Housing Shortage
Couses New Move

Pointing out that the presence
of nearby war plants and the ex-
pansion of Selfridge Field has
resulted in an acute housing
shortage, the City Commission
took preliminary steps last night
to lift the $500 ceiling now ex-
listing on residential house con-
struction.
Mayor Donald r. Westendorf
introduced the subject, pointing
TO a Daily Monitor-Leader story
carried yesterday which report
ed that Port Huron is now a
critical housing area.
"If Port Huron is critical
area. why not Mount Clemens?"
Westendorf asked.
The commissioner finally told
City Attorney Bert v. Nunneley
to draft a resolution urging that
the ceiling be lifted. Nunneley
is to determine what FILA Off
cial should receive the resolu-
ton.

East Deiroit's
Books Seized
Stote Acts to
Protect BondhoIdevs

LANSING, Sept. 24-R -
Accusing the East Detroit City
Council of having blocked eff
forts to determine whether it
was making adequate provision
to pay its bonded debt, the State
Public Debt Commission under
took Wednesday to obtain the
information for itself.
The commission subpoenaed
Esley Rausch, the city treasurer,
and his documents relating to
the debt. Auditor General Yer
non j. Brown, member of the
commission, said the group had
questioned Rausch closely and
would compile from the records
the information needed to deter
mine whether state intervention
was required to protect bond
holders.
Brown said the subpoena was
issued because it was our un-
derstanding the city council did
not care to give us the informa-
tion."
Spokesman for the city said
today that the council had never,
at any time, refused to provide
necessary records and informa-
ton to the state body. AS a
matter of fact, they insisted, the
question had never come before
the city council.
Sole issue over which con-
troversy exists, they said, is the
disposition of funds derived
from the scavenger sale.
The city treasurer was in
structed to provide all informa-
ton to the state yesterday and
to seek a ruling on ALLEGATION of
scavenger funds.

Fran started to make a wise

for existence that such things still

warm affection deeply rooted. She
remembered now that same look

lied for the first time how much
her friendship really meant to
Mary and how much Mary's friend

vast difference in the two girls had
forged a bond of Understanding

in a quagmire Of depression.
