" SWEEPING (LEAN

Gambling and Prostitution

"BROOM

Feel the Effects but Chief

Says Only the Surface Is Scratched; Seek Leading Conspirators.

By SHERLEY UHL Lie most new brooms, the one wielded by Chief Clif-|empire. ford ‘Beeker’s reshaped police department began the clean-

sweeping process last week.

| Vice squads combing gambling nests chiefly in the vicinity of Indiana ave., lower Illinois st., College ave. and other near-north side neighborhoods, raided almost a hundred

bars, restaurants, poolrooms

and suspected “clubs” within

a‘'six-day period beginning last Saturday night and ending

Thursday night. In all approximately 50 persons were arrested on charges of gaming, visiting, violating the beverage act, operating poolrooms without licenses and prostitution. Yesterday, however, ‘Chief Beeker was ready to admit that the city’s morals were still far from immaculate. Some raided one day, reopened the next and were raided again, only to complete the cycle a third time, > Seize Pool Tickets

More than $50,000 worth of pool tickets were confiscated, but others, along with policy slips, continued to pop up in neighborhoods that heretofore hadn’t been under suspicion. Despite the hullabaloo over the anti-vice drive, Beeker yesterday conceded . that he had “only scratched the surface.” Pool and policy sponsors, he predicted, will continue an effort to operate despite restrictions. Still a question in the minds of

some authorities, several of them|.

administration men themselves, was whether the drive had succeeded in getting at the crux of the vice problem. . They’re of the opinion that individual operators are mere hirelings of perhaps a half-dozen syndicates here, the chief conspirators of which remain untouched. They say police ought to aim at the “big game” instead of the “small-fry.”

It’s Systematic Raiding

Beeker, however, is working on the theory that if you clip off enough branches of the tree,’ the whole plant, including the roots, will die off automatically. He hopes to put his hands on the

~ central controls by following leads

obtained through systematic raid{ing of the petty racketeers.

Prostitutes Scatter

Prostitution, once a big-money well-organized racket here, now is strictly an individual enterprise, Inspector Donald Tooley of the police department, says. The new administration has added another patrol car to the one that Chief Beeker had assigned to antiprostitution duty, and the squads are rounding up an average of four or: five professionals a week. Army officials, however, are prompting the local police department to rid the town of drifting female bar frequenters who are the principal contributors to the army's high veneral disease rate.

Watch Those Lights

Note to pedestrians: The next step in Chief Beeker’s law enforcement campaign will be a police order to caution all persons found violating a city ordinance requiring pedestrians to observe traffic. signals. The chief says he wants those ed and green lights to mean what y say, to. walkers as well as ey » o ”

Stepping on Toes

More truth than poetry was Mayor Tyndall's remark to Kiwanians|. Wednesday that “Before, I had to ~fight Democrats; now I find I have to fight some Republicans. * The general has been having patronage troubles.

Rickenbacker in Detroit Hits Management-Labor

Rifts, Absenteeism.

DETROIT, Jan. 23 (U. P.).— Capt. ‘Edward V. (Eddie) Rickenbacker believes war production in Detroit plants could be increased as much as 50 per cent by elimination of absenteeism and labor-manage-ment quarrels, Rickenbacker’s statement came after a whirlwind tour of five war plants during which he christened a bomber bearing his name and a replica of the “hat-in-the-ring” emblem he made famous during the last war. Speaking before = members and guests of the Society of Automotive Engineers last night the famous flier said eight-hour days, overtime and premium. pay for week-end work should be forgotten for the duration because “you would not worry about” those things “in the hell-holes throughout the Pacific and on the burning sands of Africa.”

“You would not worry about

| whether you were producing too

much per man day,” he said. “No, you would be and should be grateful for the privilege of offering everything you know now. For none of us is doing so much that he cannot do more, . , .”

Tyndall had agreed to clear all patronage appointments through Ostrom. : Sure enough, on Thursday, Ostrom's candidate, Ray M. Howard, a Republican precinct committeeman, was given the building commissioner’s job to replace George Popp. Word has it that Charles Jewett was promoting Bert Westover for the job. o 2 ”»

About Those Badges

Shiny new gold-plate badges ac-

council caused a ruffle of .confusion at city hall last week. Purchase of the badges, subject to approval by the safely board, apparently was made before that group had opportunity to discuss the matter, Consequently when the subject was presented for consideration, some embarrassment ensued after one board member said he thought the badges were desired for the purpose of getting into ball games and shows rqther than as a sign of civic distinction.

A bite out ot one ‘of the juciest plums in city hall was taken last week by Arthur B. Henry when he became acting city engineer upon the resignation of M. G. Johnson, effective Feb. 1. The city engineer's post pays $4500 a year, with $2400 a year added as salary received for presiding over the flood control board. The total of $6900 is $900 more than the mayor, himself, makes.

Rome Admits Capture of Tripoli, ‘Jewel City’ of African Empire. ' By UNITED PRESS i The heaviest blow of the war fell with suddenness upon the

deadening hapless Italian people today as their high command informed them that

else and there had been no preparations for today’s announcement, but the geographic position of Tripoli made it perfectly clear to them that practically all of Libya had joined the rest of their “empire,” upon which so much money, so many lives, so much effort had been spent, in British hands and that Winston Churchill had redeemed his pledge to rip Mussolini's overseas possessions to “tatters.”

Last Italian Colony

Persons familiar with Italy expected Italian morale to fall to its lowest point. It was pointed out that it was a profound psychological blow to all Italians since “Tripoli is the last of the Italian colonies and the only one of which Italians were really proud.” It was the only one with a large, prosperous Italian poulation and authoritative sources in London said its loss “will strike dismay in the hearts of the Italisn people, who will see this British victory as the prelude to an attack on their homeland.” : The fall of Tripoli in effect reduced Italy to the status of a mere continental power, shattering the dreams with’ which Mussolini had beguiled the Italian people of a new Rome that would rule, as the ancient one did, all the lands surrounding the Mediterranean.

From Four to Nothing

The British had only to take the same 100 miles of desert coast line between Tripoli and Tunisia to wipe out all of the Italian empire as it existed in 1940 when Mussolini took his country into the war, hoping for quick profits at little cost. Italy then had four colonies— Libya, of which Tpiroli is the capital; Ethiopia, bloodily conquered in an unequal war in 1935-36; Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somaliland were grouped as Italian East Africa. The British reduced all of East Africa in 1941, taking Somaliland in January, Eritrea in March and completing the reconquest of Ethiopia by May, restoring Haile Selassie to his throne.

The councilmen talked over thei

quired by members of the city|

- Had it not been for German intervention, Libya would have fallen in the same ‘year. Marshal Erwin Rommel, commander of the Nazi Afrika Korps, chased the British back into Egypt when they were half way across Libya. The British chased him then, only to be driven back by:-another axis offensive. ' Last spring axis power reached its zenith and Rommel was stopped only at El Alamein, 70 miles from Alexandria, and Mussolini then made a secret visit to Africa to arrange for his triumphal entry into Cairo. But, in September, the eighth army launched its tremendous offensive.

after Republican committeemen had called for “immediate public hearings” on this and other tax problems, He left no doubt that Democratic members would. go along. But Doughton opposed “forgiving” or wiping out 1942 tax liabilities for current collections.

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Jan. 23 (U. PJ). — American and Australian troops after smashing the last organized Japanese resistance in Papua hunted down today the handful of tattered, hungry, fever-ridden fugitives who remained of an enemy army that, four months ago, 15,000 strong, was within 32 miles of Port Moresby. : - Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced in a communique that the last three enemy pockets of resistance, two flanking Sanananda Point on the north coast of New Guinea,

the third island, had been broken jh

and that 725 enemy dead had been counted. The day before 150 Japanese had been killed when the first of the enemy pockets was taken. MacArthur announced also that

One of the ships, a 4000-ton cargo vessel, split and sank within four minutes. An 8000-ton - transport burst into flames and blew up. A 4000-tonner sank in 12 minutes and a second 8000-ton ship was left burning, disintegrating from a series of explosions.

‘GIVE BLOOD, PLEA OF RADIO STAR HERE

“Give Your Blood to the Red Cross” was the plea made by Milo Boulton, producer and master of ceremonies on the “We the People” radio program during a visit Indianapolis yesterday. He was visiting his brother, Capt. 8. Ralph E. Boulton, officer in charge of marine recruiting here, who recently was interviewed on a “We the People” show. Milo Boulton is master of ceremonies on the “What's Your War Job” program sponsored each Wednesday by the manpower commission. Mr. Boulton said he recently interviewed Comm. Bartholomew Hogan, senior officer on the aircraft carrier Wasp, who described the life saving accomplished among the injured by blood plasma. Since that time he has besn urging everyone,

on his shows and off, to give blood be {0 the Red Cross.

“Well, if the Republican leaders keep on holding things in like they have done up-to-date, we won't be able lative campaign issue for next year.” What the Democratic leader inferred is true. The G. O. P. lead-

and Lieut, Gov. Charles Dawson, have done a good job up-to-date in keeping the legislature on an even eel. These leaders, including the members of the G. O. P. steering committee, have refused to give the party stamp of approval to any legislation of a purely political nature, even in the face of requests of certain party officials. Only one patronage measure has been approved by the steering committee. That is the one to give Attorney General James Emmert the right to name all attorneys in state departments and even the Democratic lawyers admit there is a great deal. of merit to this proposal. - The legislature hasnt done a great deal during the first fourth of its session, of course. But not a great deal is needed to do done. The main job is to see that no time is spent on unnecessary legislation. : Certain essential measures such as the state civilian defense act and the appropriations measures are nearly ready for introduction and probably will be dropped into the hopper next week. There are a number of controversial bills, such as the measure to abolish the merit system in ‘the penal institutions, the home rule constitutional amendment for cities, and the bill to abolish the Indiana High School Athletic association. - But there are no party lines on these measures. They are. supported and opposed by legislators
