'JuryHears OF
Vice Racket
By REX THoMAs

hElNlA I'll Ala. M--A vice
trial jury heard a first-hand ac-
count last night of a prostitution
racket which reportedly paid some
girls as much as $500 a night dur
ing the heydey Of sin in Phenix
City.
The testimony from two pros
titutes highlighted the long opening
day of the trial for bribery of for
mer Deputy Sheriff Albert Fuller.
II was nearly midnight when court
recessed until 10 am. today.
Fuller, still crippled from q a.
week-old back injury and wheeled
into court on an ambulance cot,
is under indictment on II charges
OF taking payoff money during his
swashbuckling days as a two-gun
peace officer.
He was called to trial first on
one count alleging that he was paid
$625 to refrain from closing q drab
bordello just outside Phenix City
on busy US. Highway 90.
The house, known to its patrons
as Cliffs Fish Camp, was operated
by Cliff Entrekin, who also was
indicted by the vice cleanup Grand
Jury for offering bribe money to
Fuller.
Psyoffs Told
One prostitute, who said she
helped keep books" at the Fish
Camp, testified that she saw En-
trekin make payoffs to the officer
ten times at least"
On some occasions the money
was delivered to Fuller's home,
said the 31-year-old buxom bru-
nette mother Of eight children. At
other times, she continued, it was
paid to him outside Cliffs place.
The witness told the jury the
girls split their earnings with En-
trekin $3.50, and then had to add
half their share for protection"
Another witness, who said she
became a prostitute to raise money
for a $1,000 operation on q blinded,
11-year-old adopted son, also de-
scribed the "payoff'' deductions,
but was unable to say who got the
money.
She quoted Entrekin, however,
as saying 'the man" had to have
a 30 per cent rakeoff of the total
earnings of the bordello and that
the girls would have to help pay
it.
Paid THE Man"
Although she couldn't identify
"the man." she said Entrekin used
the same expression on a visit to
Fnller's home when he remarked
that an envelope he carried was
being taken to "pacify the man"
The 22-year-old witness also told
the jury her boss had promised the
prostitutes they would never be
raided" and If they were Fuller
would get us off,"
The second witness disclosed
that her earnings ran as high as |
$500 a week but that some other |
girls drew $500 to $500 in one |
night.
She said the girls were virtual |
prisoners from the pm. to am.
work shift and were forced to un-
dergo sexual relations on wooden
dining tables.
And, the girl said, they operated
under such rigid house rules that
they were fined SIS if they so much
as closed their eyes while on duty.
Identity of witnesses was with.
held at the states request.

breakdown of the Washington
audience tuned to telecasts of the
Army Met Carthy hearings. The
May survey shows WMAL-TV
reaching an average of 43.469
homes during each quarter-hour
the sessions are on the air. The
same telecaSt, over WTTG
reaches an average Of 38,714
homes per quarter-hour. accord
ing to the ARB report. This lat
ter figure, incidentally. is more
than 1000 more homes than both
other stations here are reaching
while contending with their
more conventional daily serials.
These hearing telecasts, by the
way, are responsible for q weeks
delay in the Just for Fun" debut
Of Aletha Agee. from May 81 to
June Z. The show is cut to a
half -hour to allow time for Jerry
and Jimma Strong while the
hearings are on.
WITH FRESHNESS-Leland
Hayward, who will produce 13
of NBC-TV's color spectaculars"
in the fall, has high hopes for
same.
"We1l use drama. dance, mu-
steals, opera, readings and any
thing else that we think will
make for quality entertainment"
he told the New York Times the
other day. Eight scripts will be
completed by September. We do
not plan on having original plays
or musical shows written for US.
Our hope Of success is based on
the fact that, although we'll
use proven materials. we'll try to
present it in new ways that will
give 1t complete freshness.
We'll get two weeks Of re-
hearsal on each one," he added.
"You can put on anything in two

Sermon Topic
lis Announced

MANS relation to God" will be
the sermon topic Sunday morning
at the Church of the Rock, 535
Frances Street, at the eleven
O'Clock service. This is the seven
tn sermon in a series dealing
with mans mission on earth.
David was a man of long and
wide experience and he was NOV
ed to declare. 1.-THE fool hath said
in his heart there is no God" In
his lifetime of dealing with people
from bandits to kings, his intimate
and close touch with nature, not
only as a shepherd but also as 4
fugitive hiding in caves and living
off the land, he came to the
definite conclusion that his God
was wise and good and just. Mod
ern man has progressed so rapid
ly in the last half century that
too often he feels ne is seH-suf-
ficient unto himself. The. time
comes when we face the inevitable
and and then it is that we discover
to late that our relation to God
has been vitality neglected.
Billy Roberts At Piano
During the absence of Mrs. Will
liam Robinson, Billy Roberts has
been at the piano. His selections
have been deeply religious and ex-
ceptionally well rendered. His
dnselfish service is appreciated by
the congregation.
Ralph Noble is having his pro.
blems in the Sunday School. He
just has too many classes for the
room at the Chapel. The school
begins at ten O'Clock and the inter-

HOW DOES KEY WEST COMPARE WITH MIAMI
IN NUMBER OF CHARITY DRIVES

SIT is more blessed to give than receive" But when

In almost all of those "charity campaigns solicitors

How large the commissions? The Citizen learned

Rev. Richard E. Coulter has

for this sermon will be taken from

Everything went well as long az
the south wind blew and the seas

on mere acquisition of material
gadgets with a corresponding de.
cline in morality, ethics and re-
spect for law and order.
On the other hand, many law
enforcement officials, including
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
F.B.1., believe that youthful
criminals are the product of pa
rental neglect and improper home
training, and call for higher
moral and religious standards in
daily living.
Examine The Reasons
Let us briefly examine these
reasons, weighing them in the
Light of the latest findings of law,
medicine, psychiatry and educa-
tion.
No one can deny that scenes of
violence, bloodshed and terror, as
exemplified by the film products
of Hollywood and the radio and
teleVision "thrillers," unduly slim
ulate the imagination of the
young, often turning their
thoughts into destructive channels.
Experts in the field, however,
have been able to find little di-
rect correlation between criDe
stories and juvenile delinquency
rates. Nor does arbitrary censor
ship of these important media OF
communication appear to be the
answer. Rather, the answer lies
in self-imposed censorship by
parents as the best means of in
fluencing children in their choice
of entertainment.
Sensational newspaper report
ing of crime and delinquency pos
es a most serious problem, al
though a minority of daily papers
do exercise restraint in their
handling of crime stories, and
one, the Christian Science Mont
tor, prints no crime news at all.
Our own Key West Citizen has
shown restraint in handling jul
venile cases.
Since a free press is one of
this country's most vital contin-
uing needs, public censorship is
definitely not the answer. How
ever, community action by in
terested service organizations
might lead to disciplinary action
by the publishers themselves.
