.Keech 10 Ask New Law
Strictly Regulating
Massage ParIors

Plans to impose close control and
regulation of all massage parlors in
the District and also all persons
employed in them will be submitted
to the Commissioners in the near
future, according to Richmond B..
Keech, corporation counsel.
Three such places have been raid
ed in Washington in recent years
as alleged vice resorts, police records
show, including one week ago yes
terday in the 170o block of Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Another was the
Hopkins Institute, which attracted
wide attention and resulted in the
conviction of nine persons on vice
charges.
Mr.. Keech now is obtaining cop
les of laws in other cities and States
which require examination and reg
istration of all persons who prac-
tice massage. In sor1e cities and
States, registration boards are Gre
ated which set up standards of ed
ucation and training, and conduct
examinations of persons who seek to
practice massage. The boards issue
licenses or certificates of registra-
ton for the individuals and issuance
is governed by character of the ap-
plicants as well as training and ex-
perience.
No Check on Personnel.
Under the present law in Wash
ington," Mr.. Keech said, "only the
establishment is licensed and the
only thing we can govern is the
character of the applicant. We have
nothing to say about the persons
employed in the place and nothing
to say as to the competence of the
owners or employees.
LAS soon as I obtain the laws
from other places I shall make a
digest of them and submit the sub
ject to the Commissioners. If we
had a registration law I believe the
situation here would be very def
nitely improved"
Meantime, Attorney M. Edward
Buckley insisted that one of his
clients, Judy Hunt, who was ar
rested in the Pennsylvania avenue
vice raid, left yesterday for the
Bahamas. Her bondsman, William
P. Ryan, said, however, that she
wasn't leaving this jurisdiction
without his permission-which won't
be given. The woman is out on $500
bond, pending arraignment on
charge of vagrancy, scheduled in
Municipal Court on August 8.
No Priority Involved.
At a press conference" yesterday,
Judge Hunt said that priority for
her fight to the Bahamas was ar
ranged by the same mysterious
official who, according to Mr.. Buck
ley, earlier had arranged one for a
fight he said Mrs. Beach had made
to Hawaii several months ago.
However, a spokesman for Pan
American Airways, which operates
the only service from the American
mainland to the Bahamas, said to-
day that no priority was needed for
fight to the islands.

Are Received al Home
OF Missing Woman

Two mysterious phone calls were
received early this week at the
home of Mrs. Flonnie Turner, 36,
of 4520 Kennedy street, Hyatts-
vile, who has been missing since
last Saturday, it was learned today
as Mrs. Anna MCGEE. the missir g
woman's mother, expressed the fear
her daughter may be held against
her will.
According to Mrs. R. A. Lock-
ridge, who rented an apartment in
her home 10 Mr.. and Mrs. Turner
about two weeks ago, she received
the first call early Monday.

her telephone number. When she
repeated the number, Mrs. Lock
ridge said, the mumbllng continued
for few seconds and then stopped
The second phone call was re-
ceived early the next day, she said
This time, when she answered the
phone, she heard a woman's voice
repeating, Doesn't sound like her. .
She attempted to find out who the
caller was but was unable to do
so before the line went dead when
the unidentified woman failed to
deposit IS cents as requested by
the operator.
Mrs. MCGEE said the voice could
have been that of her daughter,
who left her home about 10 am.
Saturday to purchase groceries in
Washington.
She pointed out that her daugh-
ter had not taken any extra clothes
with her when she left and ex-
pressed the fear that some one was
holding Mrs. Turner against her
will.
Meanwhile, District police said a
Washington cab driver had reported
he picked up a woman resembling
Mrs. Turner, and a male companion,
Saturday and took them to night

SABBATH Attacks Rankin
After Error Is Revealed
In Army Red Inquiry
BY the Associated Press.


Representa- i've SABBATH, Demo
crat, of Illino accused Representa-
tive Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi in the House yesterday of
taking every chance and opportu-
nifty that he can grab to put into
the record statements that unfor-
tunately seem to follow the policy
and program of Hitler and Goeb-
bels."
The Rules Committee chairman
made his speech in protest against
publication of testimony that the
Army has commissioned men whose
background reflect Communism.
The testimony was given by H.
Ralph Burton, general counsel Of a
military affairs subcommittee of the
House, and was put into the Con-
gressional Record by Mr.. Rankin.
Mr.. SABBATH characterized Mr..
Burton as former representative
of the Nazis and said the attorney
should be investigated himself for
his un-American activities.
Follows Admission of Error.
Mr.. SABBATH spoke shortly after
Mr.. Burton had acknowledged that
the name of Capt. Henry Clovis
Collins, Napier Field, Ala, had been
included by mistake in list of 16
names of Army personnel made
public several days ago by the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Burton had testified that the
16 officers and enlisted men had
backgrounds rejecting communism
in some form" The name of Capt.
Collins, he eXlained, was confused
with the similar name of a man who
had been a panel member of the
National Action Conference for Civil
Rights.
At Dothan, Ala, Capt. Collins said
he never had heard of the organiza-
ton.
Disclaims Communist Link.
He declared in a statement to
the Dothan Eagle that he never
had any political interests of any
kind" and particularly that he
never had any Communist dealings.
Mr.. Burton agreed that it was a
case of mistaken identity and said
the committee has no evidence that
Capt. Collins has questionable
background.
Mr.. Burton was lambasted on the
House floor by both Mr.. SABBATH and

Representative Delacy, Democrat
of Washington.
Emphasizing that the Military
Subcommittee statement was MOI
an official report, Mr.. SABBATH said
"It was merely the testimony oi
this former representative of the
Nazis, man who has been con-
nected with a great many un-
American activities, and am
amazed, I am surprised, that the
Military Affairs Committee should
have man of that caliber to in
vestigate un-American activities
when, in fact, he should be investi-
gated himself for his un-American
activities"
Regrets Aankin Action.
OF Mr.. Rankin, the Rules Com
mittee chairman had this to say:
II regret exceedingly that the gen.
tleman from Mississippi takes every
chance and opportunity that he car
grab to put into the record state
ments that unfortunately seem tc
follow the policy of Hitler and Goeb-
bells. He is trying to create the same
thing that they have brought about
in Germany and other lands"
Mr.. De Lacy told the House that
Mr.. Burton in 1884 was chief counsel
for Kurt Georg Wilhelm Ludecke
whom MFR. De Lacy identified as "a
personal representative in this coun-
try for Adolf Hitler"
Subsequently, he said, Mr.. Burton
was special counsel for the Ameri-
can Coalition of Patriotic Societies
and was general counsel in Mary
land for Father Coughlin's Union
for Social Justice.
"It seems to me-" he commented,
"that these facts are sufficient for
us to doubt the wisdom Of inclusion
in the record" of Mr.. Burton's testi-

Need Of Four Year
Medical College In

Recognizing Mississippi's ur-
gent need for a four-vear medi-

member OF the Jackson Exchange
club, stated that this ~organiza-

a resolution for a four-year med

sity of Mississippi.
Pointing out that Mississippi
has only 1868 physicians, only
518 of whom are under go years
of age, MI. Campbell asserted
that the shortage of doctors will
never be alleviated as long as
young men are forced to go to
other states for their medical
education and interneship.

in connection with the school,

lice of all branches of medicine.
We need one with pediatric and
obstetrical departments, a neu-
rologist, a psychiatrist and spe-
cialists in surgery. We need a
place where all the ills that be-
fall us may be cared for. Why
pile UP millions in the state
treasury and let our people suf-
fer and die for lack of medical
care?"
