Patrol Streets Hunting ‘Dates’
‘Too-Young Girls Attract, Repel;
Organized Vice Finds ‘Business’
By FRANK ADAMS and CARL HENN IT'S THE OLD show you've seen before. It’s a bus station . . . Indianapolis . . . U. S. A. Some of the girls are a little older than they were in ’42 or '43. And there's a new crop of young ones—thinshanked and with dirty ankles under their (and they don’t] know it) old, not new look dresses.
They show only a few inches of ankle and calf between |
bobby sox and hem. The eyes under what passes for hair-do| are pseudo-wise. : : Oh, the show isn’t in full swing yet. Last night was
just the curtain raiser. There's more to come. = u » = » .
THERE'LL be other Saturday nights, many of them. And not everyone knows yet that the GIs are back at Camp Atterbury. The riff-raff was scattered from the benches in the waiting room to the fringe of the lines waiting to enter busses, from the hot dog counter and lunch room to the rest rooms and pin-ball heaven downstairs. The sign in the veritable caravansary of nickel machines says that no children under 16 are allowed in after 10 p.m, You'd like to have a pocketful of $20 bills for everyone you see—after 10 p. m. » .
= - - » IF YOU'D ever seen it before you knew the painted “ladies” of 14 and 15 (and some maybe younger) were not 18 or more despite the clothes and shadowed eyes and sharp hiplines. And the men and boys with the curled hair and mincing steps were there. A taint of perfume hung in the ever sour smell of the men’s rest room. Men traveling through took one look and hurried on upstairs with their wives and children. Downtown Indianapolis, dotted everywhere you looked with the summer sun-tan uniforms of Camp Atterbury soldiers, was suddenly the Indianapolis of World War IL Nothing was different . . . except the prices. Clumps of GIs, hands in pockets and shoulders hunched against the chilly breeze, moved along Illinois St. north and south and stopped momentarily on corners to debate the
next move. Every bar was decorated with the bright breast ribbons,
of veterans. * » » »
GIGGLING girls in pairs and trios and quartets chatted with the soldier boys and moved with them into movie houses. Cafeterias and lunchrooms did a good business. A lot of hot coffee was sold, especially to the younger boys who were hitting the big city on pass for the first time. In and out of bars moved the MPs, quieting an argument here, checking a pass there. A lot of GIs had questions. “Hey, where's a geod place to dance? Where's a good
place to pick up a girl? D'ya know a guy named Harry McQuarry lives here . . . my old man in Pennsylvania said to look him up. What does a guy do for amusement in this town™ "The invasion of Indianapolis, a weekly occurrance from pow on, was accomplished quietly last night. .You didn't see any fights, fist or otherwise. Very few drunks. No joints busted up. No windows broken. No gam: bling, at least openly. There was a little organized vice, though. At a cheap hotel, a husky young soldier sat quietly
or five watches. In his hand he held a wal of Honey.
. HE WAS WAITING for his buddies to one down from upstairs, meanwhile holding their valuables. “Naw,” he said. “Wasn't any trouble to find it. Just asked the guy on the elevator and he said ‘Sure.’ They startod at ten bucks but came down to five. I wish those guys would hurry.” Although the city was ill prepared to provide special .qntertainment for the soldiers, nobody seemed to mind.

Yields to Pressure
On Enforcement By IRVING LEIBOWITZ
France yesterday branded the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission “a rotten political mess.” Chief France, who gained the reputation “tough cop” during, {service as a State Police Trooper, 'accused the commission of “polit-| (ical leniency” on lquor-law vio'lators and asserted the State | Police could do a better job of! |enforcing the law than his own. | Excise Police “at half the price.” Bernard C. Doyle, Democratic] chairman of the commission] could not be reached for comment on the charges.

“We (excise agents) go out and make arrests,” he said, “and the! commission decides what to do. Sometimes they don’t do much of

Specifically, Chief France found fault with the commission's system of granting liquor permits to bartenders, waitresses, tavern owners and liquor store operators. He charged that under the present system, many ex-convicts are issued licenses as bartenders. ‘No Way to Check’ “Why anyone can get a Iicense,” he “there is no way we have of checking up on applications. Any kid can get a license. All you have to do is fill out a blank, enclose two bucks! and the license is yours.” . | Chief France advocated photo-| graphing and fingerprinting all applicants for any kindof liquor | {permits as a double-check against allowing ex-convicts and Thre to hold licenses.

First, and foremost, among this observer's thoughts is how can an unofficial time officially end, even though everyone has been observing unofficial time except when they caught trains, or some such, which ran on official time which was unofficial during the period when unofficial time was official ? Next is how can unofficial time officially end at 2 a. m. on an unofficial time? For instance, if 2 a. m. is an unofficial time which, of course, has been used as
