GARY WOXFN wave here should not be sUrtbuted to vice alone. Slum conditions result in inadequate economic conditions Cor large numbers oR our people. "In spite of all we can do against vice and gambling, we can't clean out the slums. Most of the slums are owned by eome of our better people who millc the property for whatever they can get out of it, and don’t put anything back into it for improvements.” Swartz said he ’’couldn’t say definitely” whether he would meet with slum property owners to try to clean up the undesirable housing areas. The mayor said that Gary did not have "an overly large number of prostitutes." "We've always done a lot to hold prostitution down," he said. "Gary does not have more than three bookies, &nd none of them is connected with the Chicago syndicate,” Swartz said. ‘T.hat’H a whale of a lot lens than then were before I book over. "It would be a herculean task to clean up all the gambling and vice here, but it might be dons.” the mayor said. “It's like trying to clean up drinking during prohibition.' ’ Swartz said he was acting against his own convictions ir banning prostitution. He denied that police or city officials were being "paid off" by operators of public gambling establishments "It's my opinion that it would be better to suffer lipiited opera tion of prostitution than i/j take a chance of exposing the community to an outbreak of criminal assault and sex offenses, which have been the bitter ex perience fo ther cities that triec* the same thing." he said. "Now, however. I an confront ed with a rising demand for n total crackdown on all vice, and I feel I can do no less than comply” bonus bill PASSED
