St. Michaels Chapter has es-

excellent ecedent, in setting

Other chapters throughout the

making these tribal lands available
for homesites.
The population of the reserva-
tiSn is continually growing, and
community centers will more and
more replace the scattered hogans
of former years. The time for
planning is the present, when it can
be done most effectively.
With the advent of adequate
power and water, industry will
undoubtedly not be far behind for
the reservation areas. Many chap
ter houses may soon find them
selves the centers of busy little
towns. Orderly planning now may
save many headaches later.
AS the population shift goes
more and more toward community
development. it is very probable
that shopping centers will appear.

He said he also was pleased

The AFL-CIO said today it

McClellan's remarks. A spokes-
man pointed out that no charges
against the union have been

Federation officials said that
when the hearings are finished

opportunity to present its rebuff

the hearing record to determine
what action it may take.
Mr.. Sullivan told the sub

rise since World War II in the
number of strip-tease and
exotic dance clubs in the Miami
area using "B-girlS" to hustle
drinks to male customers and
engage in prostitution.

Senate investigators have
been given contrasting pictures
Of the life and times of Balti-
more's unionized show girls.
Jerry Green, Baltimore
branch manager of the Ameri-
can Guild of Variety Artists,
told the Senate investigations
Subcommittee yesterday that
the entertainers could be drink
ing with friends and relatives
when they socializs in the night
clubs of Baltimore's notorious
block"
But E. Thomas Maxwell, IT.,
former assistant States attor-
ney for Baltimore, testified
that Baltimore's racketeers are
drawing a stable income from
AGVA show girls soliciting
drinks. soliciting themselves
and, in general. peddling sex
in the night clubs"
From one of the show girls,
who goes under the stage name
Of Kim Standlee, the investi-
gators learned that the girls
were given commissions for the
drinks they hustle from Gus
toners. But Miss Standlee
said that when one of the girls
wanted to talk about drink
commissions at a union meet
ing, Mr.. Green said he didn't
want to know about it.
Fifty Indictments
From the operators of two of
the blocks" clubS-the Oasis
and the Trocadero--the investi-
eating Senators got nothing at
all but pleas of self-incrimina-
ton.
Former Prosecutor Maxwell
set the stage for the subcom-
mittee'S excursion into the
operations of AGVA in Balti-
more.
He explained that as part
of a grand jury investigation
Of the block" a number of
show girls and bar maids were
called to testify. -
The investigation, he said,
produced so indictments in
September, 1861, with charges
ranging from kidnapping and
robbery to pandering and dis
orderly house.
The evidence produced at the
trials Of these cases and the
grand jury investigation, he
said. produced these findings:
That the local nightclub
owners do not deduct income
tax or social security from the
wages of the AGVA performers.
That the nightclubs do not
pay union scale wages of $92 so
to AGVA members but gener-
ally pay $40 a night.
That between the acts, the
performers are required to sit
around the nightclubs drink
ing with male customers and
get commissions on the drinks.
THAT on the pay envelopes of
the girls, although tax deduc-
lions are not reflected, a pay
ntent for commissions on
drinks is shown in the form Of
&C" or comm"
That the AGVA showgirls
who leave the clubs during the
evening for purposes of prosti-
tuition pay a kick back" to the
nightclubs ranging from So
$50 and some of the showgirls
admitted making between $500
and $500 a week as the result
Of prostitution.
Processes Ignorance
Mr.. Maxwell testified that
although it is virtually COM
mon knowledge that the Bloch
is the city's center of vice, Mr.
Green under questioning said
he knew nothing of prostitution
on the block.
He said that Mr.. Green had
told him that he had taker
no disciplinary action against
AGVA members convicted Of
prostitution because he hac
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-20

received no complaints from
club owners.
A contract with one of the
clubs showed that only 500
bond was required although
the clubs were supposed to put
up as much bond as the total
weekly salaries of the AGVA
members employed there. Mr..
Green said he just carried on
the bond of his predecessor.
When pay envelopes showed
no deductions for social secu-
rity and other taxes as re-
quired by the union contracts,
Mr.. Green acknowledged he
had not enforced that pro-
vision.
When Mr.. Green insisted he
knew nothing about girls being
paid commissions for drinks,
he was shown his signature
on a receipt for a pay envelope
which showed a payment under
the heading of "C".
Senator Mcclellan recalled
that Mr.. Maxwell had identi-
fled &c" as short for commits
sion but Mr.. Green said he
didn't know what &c" meant.
Testimony Recalled
When Mr.. Green emphat-
ically denied that he ever
agreed with a club owner to
pay an AGVA member less
than union scale, Senator Nc
Clellan read testimony given
by Julius Salisbury, operator
of the Oasis, during his trial
for pandering and maintaining
a diSorderly house. The SAILS.
bury testimony was to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Green had au-
thorized him to pay less thar
scale wages under certain con-
ditions.
Mr.. Green said In answer Il
questions he had never pro
tested to an owner about re,
quiring the performers to mi,
with the customers because h,
never had a complaint. HI
acknowledged that he had seel
girls drinking in the clubs, bu
he did not see them soliciting
drinks and he did not knoV
who they drank with. 'Whel
