FBI Cracks-Dow
on Capital Vice

WASHINGTON, March 8 -
(P - A man and two women
are being arraigned on charges
of violating the White Slave Act
today as the result of what the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
described as drive on vice in
the nations capital"
The women were identified by
j. Edgar Hoover, FBI director,
as operators of the Hopkins In
stitute, "a pseudo massage par
lor" in the Du Pont Circle Sec
ton of Connecticut avenue. They
were listed as Mildred Powell
Carter, and Rose Anderson, 80.
The man, George Francis White
head, 43, who was arrested in
New York, was described as
owner of the place.
"The Institute" said Hoover,
"had been handling a highly lu-
crative prostitution business in
apartments at the fashionable
Connecticut Avenue address and
for several years had maintained
an active cali agency there,
supplying girls who posed as
masseuses to leading Washing
ton hotels.
About a dozen girls served
the select clientele of the estab-
lishment. A efw weref
liJhment. A few were living at
the Connecticut Avenue address
and others were sent out on
calls from their own residences
to well-paying customers in no.
tells and apartments.
The FBI, which limited that
the arrests would create a furore
in some Washington quarters,
said the girls had been brought
here from as far away Californ-
ia.

Reports of American successes
on the battlefield that is the enc
my's mind are reaching here.
A psychological often s " e
against the Japanese morale has
begun to produce results. The
idea that the Japanese soldier
will always fight until death has
been exploded. The Jap will lie
down if first he can be worn
down by hunger, sleeplessness
and shelling-and then be made
to realize that he is not as in
vincible as his officers have told
him he is.

There's not much they can do

SO Mrs. Glenn Anderson Of the
