Investigators FindVice

BY the Associated Press

TACOMA. Wash. Aug. 18.-
Charges that vice in every form
lis rampant" and conditions are
las wide open as possible for a
city of its size" were heard yester-
day by the Tacoma City Council.
The charges were contained in
a report on Tacoma prepared by
private investigators. The inves-
tigation was ordered by the coun-
Gil.
The report alleged "a total lack
of enforcement or even acceptable
police action and accused police
of failing to support military Of
ficials in their efforts to protect
.servicemen from temptations Of
vice.
Two big military bases, Fort
Lewis and McChord Air Force
Base, are adjacent to the city.
Safety Commissioner James
Kerr, who directs the police de-
partment, declined to comment on
the report except to say, It's
mostly all hearsay. You can't go
on anything like that"
Coinciding with the report,
County Prosecutor John j. O'Con-
nell asked the courts to paddock
more than score of alleged
brothels or bootleg houses. The
prosecutor termed the report
detailed discussion of the general
vice problem rather than offering
criminal evidence against any
particular individual.

BY the Associated Press

President Truman was reported
today to have decided to name
Chester BoWles, former Connecti-

Administrator, to succeed 10y
Henderson as American Ambassa-
dor to India.
Mr.. Henderson will replace
Henry Grady as Ambassador to
Iran. Mr.. Grady is scheduled to
retire early next month.
This shuff1ing of diplomats, ex-

have taken place several months

work in trying to bring about an
agreement between Iran and
Britain.
Originally Mr.. Grady had want
ed to withdraw from active diplo-
matte service in early summer
But when the oil crisis came up
he offered to stay on until Sep
tember.
Mr.. Henderson was chosen to
succeed Mr.. Grady, diplomats
said, primarily because of his

The statement spelled out the
