Vice
veXeS
ca piito

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. tUP)-
Two senate committees are prepar-
ing today for full dress investiga-
tions of vice problems near army
camps and in the nations capital
where local authorities claim an
estimated 1000 prostitutes are men
acing the war effort.
Chairman A. B. Chandler, D., KY,
of senate military affairs subcom-
mittee said his group would open
hearings soon that would include a
study of vice conditions in every
army camp in the United States
and possibly those in the Caribbean
and Panama areas.
Sen. Rufus Holman, r., Ore,
ranking member of the Subcommit-
tee, said it was the duty of congress
to insist on clean, wholesome moral
conditions in every army camp"
Maybe l don't know as much
about vice as a grown-up man
should, but perhaps I will learn a
lot on this investigation, he said.
CAPITAL PROBLEM
The second group, the senate dis
trict of Columbia committee headed
by Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New, al
ready has held preliminary hearings
on demands for more stringent con-
troll of prostitution in Washington.
Local authorities claim that yenereal
disease in Washington has reached
a high and dangerous peak.
TsaC hi nfAtA u
ready nave asked the committee to
put real teeth" into the city's
anti-vice laws, and are preparing
evidence on prostitution and dis
ease to present at Il later hearing.
HIGH DISEASE RATE
They said Washington now has
about 1000 active prostitutes, with
the figure soaring every day. The
health department reported that
about SIS per cent had some form
of venereal disease.
The police department, complain
ing that present laws make it al
most impossible to obtain convic-
t1onS, said that in six months 22l
prostitutes were arrested 2l68 times
with only f32 conviction. one girl,
they said, was arrested 83 times in
five years. but convicted only once.
Authorities said the law made it
virtually impossible to convict wom-
en- working out of call houses and
they also complained about the lack
of severity in fines and sentences
handed out by the courts.
FOUR CLASSES
Social workers told the committee
that prostitutes generally fall into
four classes: l. UnWed mothers
who feel that they have been ostra-
cized from society; 2.-mentally
Subnormal women; 3.-small-town
girls who find prostitution excit-
ing; 4. 4.-incorrigible professionals.
But in Washington police are
plagued with two other types-what
they call the charity" girl and the
casual" prostitute. Capt. Rhoda
Millikin of the women's bureau said
charity girls generally are weak
minded ones who become over
Whelmed with affection for men who
buy them beers; the "caSuals" are
small-toWn girls who are facing
their first big-city temptations.

THE BIG BREAK

THE BIG BREAK
The lawyer was amused. Also
impressed He not only took her
small case, but said he thought
a client of his ought to know some
thing about a girl named Betty
Hutton. The client happened to
be Buddy De Sylvia, then in Holly
wood making movies and preparing
by long distance to stage Panama
Hattie on Broadway The law
yer telephoned De sylvia Betty
tried out for Panama Hattie" got

When De sylvia became produc-
ton chief at Paramount, he found
plans underway fer THE Fleets
In" He sent for Betty TO be the
comedy explosion. She practically
blasted audiences out of their seats
with her song, Arthur Murray

She let them accent her CLAM
or for Happy Go Lucky" After
that she moved into the heroine
ranks in "Star-Spangled Rhythm, -"
and then Preston Sturges came
along with his story, The Mir

cided to make a dramatic actress

next day, her name was in lights.
By this time, being a one Wom-
an blitz was a part of her real
as we'll as her professional life.
So when she got into some slight
contractural troubles she stormed
into the office of one Of the best
Manhattan lawyers and proceeded,
with flinging of arms and piercing
vocal infections, to tell him her
troubles

A "ScreWball' has quieted down
in Hollywood. She's Betty Hutton,
the "Berserk blonde" who has sue
cessfully used a riotous, m-bang,
vehement act in exploding into Hol-
lyWood stardom Now she's settling
down to be a dramatic actress.
It's happening in a picture titled
THE Miracle of Morgans Greek. +"
It'll be miracle all right, because
Betty is playing a smalltoWn her
olne sobbing in troubles and facing
the stark realities of life-and not
knocking herself out in outlandish
fashion in comedy songs.
It's director Preston Sturges'
idea. Sturges has done various
ether type-changing tricks such as
making a comedian out of home
spun Henry Fonda.
When little more than Is, Betty
Hutton started out as a straight
singer with life and zip and bub-
bling youth in her songs She was
singing with Vincent Lopez and
not doing too well. Lopez was
about to fire her when a friend
in the orchestra told her the sad
news in advance.
SHE GOES BERSERK
And then Betty, burned up be-
cause she had flopped, walked into
the stage and went berserk. She
Knocked over the microphone,
stamped, screamed, contorted and
convulsed and climbed all over
the piano. The audience tore
down what was left of the place.
She saved her jcb.
When she finally got to New

Canada May Raise Legation
In Washington 10 Embassy

By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, April 9.-Reports were
current here today that the Cana
dian Legation in Washington might
be raised soon to the status of an
embassy under an ambassador who
would also be q member of the Ot-
tawa cabinet.
: Ofncials refused to comment, but
1t is known that high Government
circles have considered such a step,
and the name Of Defense Minister
j. l.. Ralston has been mentioned
for such . post.
II such q change were made, pre-
sumably 1t would involve the retire.
ment Of Leighton Mccarthy, Cana
dian Minister to the United States,
to make way for either Mr.. Ralston
or another present cabinet member.
The United States also probably
would raise its ministry here to that
OF an embassy, with ]. Pierrepont
Moffatt, becoming the first United
States ambassador to Ottawa.
The growing Importance Of Can
ada's position In the war, and also
that OF Washington as the seat Of
vital war councils, are the reasons
cited for such q change.
