Blatt issues injunction;
no more DEtD tickets
By ROD NORDLAND
Collegian Senior Reporter—
State Commonwealth Court Judge
Genevieve Blatt Friday afternoon issued
an injunction which prevents the D and
D Parking Lot Security Company of
State College from ticketing cars.
The injunction is temporary but will
become permanent unless D and D's
lawyer asks for a hearing. Operator
Dean Wagner, after notification of the
injunction was received, has been telling
people he now plans to go into business
towing cars which are parked without
authorization on private property. He
has been saying he plans to charge $5O
per tow and $lO a day storage.
The injunction, gained for violations of
the state's Fair Trade Practibes Act, is
the outcome of a law suit initiated by the
state attorney general and the Justice
Department's Bureau of Consumer
Protection as the result of numerous
complaints from Penn State students.
The action was handled by Special
Deputy Attorney General Jeffery Er

Candidates stump for Ohio race
CLEVELAND (AP) Top
presidential contenders in tomorrow's
Ohio Democratic primary played to
their political strengths yesterday, with
Sen. George S. McGovern warning the
Vietnam war has "infected every aspect
of American life" and Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey visiting four black churches
and marching in a Jewish parade.
The Ohio contest holds tomorrow's
spotlight with secondary attention on the
Indiana balloting in which Humphrey
and Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace
are the top contenders for 76 convention
delegates.
Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, who retired
last week from active primary cam
paigning, is on the ballot in both states.
Primaries are also being held
tomorrow in Alabama and the District of
Columbia. Anti-Wallace forces hope to
take control of the Alabama delegation
from the governor. Local groups are
contesting the D.C. race.
Additional presidential primaries are
scheduled later in the week in Tennessee
and North Carolina.
Humphrey, the only major contender
competing actively in both Ohio and
Indiana primaries, also spoke to a rally
in Indianapolis after urging President
Nixon to press for cultural exchange
programs between Soviet and American
Jews when he visits Russia next month.
McGovern, seeking an Ohio upset over
Humphrey that would give his
presidential drive a major boost,
returned to his effort to woo blue collar
support, visiting Youngstown, Akron
and Canton after his antiwar speech at a
Methodist church on the outskirts of
Columbus.
The South Dakota senator also
received another boost from the Ken
nedy family when it was learned that
Ethel Kennedy, widow of the late Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy, plans a fund-raising
picnic for him at her McLean, Va.,
home.
Sources in Washington said a report in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer that Ms.
Kennedy would publicly endorse
McGovern, possibly before tomorrow's
balloting, was incorrect, but added she

the
daily
nico, lawyer-in-charge of the Bureau of
Consumer Protection. Ernico said
Friday that the Commonwealth will wait
about three weeks and then ask the court
to make the injunction permanant.
He said action would then be taken
against other parking lot security
companies in State College, and possibly
elsewhere in the state.
The injunction orders Dean Wagner
and employes of D and D not to
misrepresent their authority, to engage
in disceptive or misleading practices, or
in practices likely to confuse consumers.
It specifically orders that D and D cease
issuing parking tickets, or anything
similar to a parking ticket, and,cease
collecting fines.
The court order provides that all
outstanding tickets are void and cannot
be collected upon.
Ernico said the Consumer Protection
Bureau had hoped to have the court
order restitution for all persons who
have paid parking fines during the
company's two years of operation.

has indicated to friends she favors him.
Sources close to McGovern said the
senator expects the eventual support of
both Ms. Kennedy and Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy. Kennedy's press secretary,
Richard Drayne Kennedy is going to be
neutral until the party has chosen its
nominee.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington,
who is also competing for the 153 Ohio
delegates, spent most of yesterday in
Washington before addressing a rally in
Youngstown, Ohio.
Of the 153 delegates, 38 will be chosen
at-large and the remainder in the state's
23 congressional districts. There is no
presidential preference vote as such.
In another development in Ohio,
Muskie was accused of being "a quit
ter" by State Democratic Chairman
William Lavelle, who is on the ballot
tomorrow as a delegate for the Maine
senator. If he wins, Lavelle said, he
won't vote for Muskie.
Elsewhere, a variety of states held
county, district and state conventions
over the weekend to pick Democratic
and Republican delegates.
More than 75 per cent of the delegates
picked at Kentucky Democratic county
conventions were uncommitted, with
most of them set to follow the lead of
Gov. Wendell Ford, who still backs
Muskie. McGovern got the rest, and his
backers predicted he would win at least
eight of the state's 47 convention
delegates, 35 of whom will be chosen at
congressional district caucuses June 2
and 12 at the state convention June 3.
McGovern apparently was making
significant inroads in Jackson's home
state of Washington as Democrats held
conventions in the state's 39 counties
during the weekend.
Jackson appeared yesterday assured
of carrying the bulk of Washington's 52
national convention delegates, all but
eight of whom will be elected at
congressional district caucuses May 20.
However, McGovern appeared on the
verge of taking at least one
congressional district, with six national
delegates, and had a chance at two more
districts. Taking all three could mean up
HUH?
However, the court did not order
restitution. Ernico said there will still be
a possibility of having an order for
restitution if D and D appeals the
preliminary injunction in a regular
hearing. In that case, Ernico said, the
state would call numerous witnesses and
present a full case against the company.
Blatt, in a Thursday hearing in
Harrisburg, listened to arguments from
both sides, and some testimony from
defense witnesses, including Charles
Mong, executive director of the State
College Chamber of Commerce. But the
state did not present witnesses because,
Ernico said, the hearing was mairLly
confined to points of law.
Blatt, in issuing the injunction order
against D and D, did not give a written
opinion. Ernico had maintained that
only bona fide police officers could issue
tickets and collect fines under Section
1021.1 of the state's Motor Vehicle Code,
which Wagner was citing as authority to
conduct his business. The court left these
questions unanswered.-
to 16 delegates for McGovern
President Nixon maintained his hold
over GOP convention delegates in
conventions in four states, Kansas,
Maine, Oklahoma and Kentucky, and is
expected to do the same thing in the GOP
primaries this week.
In Ohio, McGovern has made a major
effort to cut into Humphrey's long-time
support in black communities. Hum
phrey sought to counter that with his
tour 'of four black Cleveland churches
before he marched in the Jewish
Solidarity Day parade to protest alleged
persecution of Soviet Jews.
Returning to Ohio after his brief In
diana trip, Humphrey addressed the
annual Youngstown Police Banquet and
proposed that the killing of state and
local police, firemen and prison guards
Nixon flies to Texas
for talk with Connally
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP)
President Nixon ended a five-day visit in
Florida and the Bahamas yesterday and
flew to vote-heavy Texas for a social get
together with one of that state's most
prominent Democrats, Secretary of the
Treasury John B. Connally.
Shortly before the President left
Homestead Air Force Base at 1:55 p.m.
EDT, Ms. Nixon arrived from
Washington aboard another flight to join
him on the trip to Texas.
Connally, the only Democrat in
Nixon's Cabinet, invited some 100
couples many of them associated with
partisan politics to his Picosa Ranch
at Floresville to share a buffet dinner
with the Nixons.
Definitely not invited to the gathering
were candidates seeking nominations
for state office in the Texas primary
next Saturday. That included Connally's
brother Wayne, who would like to be
lieutenant governor.
The Nixons were flying from Florida
to Randolph Air Force Base outside San
Antonio, then by helicopter to the Picosa
some 35 miles outside the city. They plan
to return to the White House today.
Although the presidential visit to
Texas ostensibly was non-political, his
decision to be an overnight guest of the
Connallys inevitably was seen as not
entirely divorced from the election year
picture.
Never before, for example, has Nixon
. . The oldest profession
Prostitution: alive in State College
Editor's note: the following is the first of
a three-part special report on
prostitution in State College. Some of the
names - have been changed.
By KAREN CARNABIJCCI
Collegian City Editor
The oldest profession is alive and well
in State College.
And the places where the action is
especially for local businessmen are
the local motels and hotels.
According to Alan, a University
student and former manager of a
restaurant at one of the motels, the
prostitutes usually from Pittsburgh
usually check in at the middle of the
week, have dinner in their rooms at 7 or 8
p.m. and come down to the bar, "all
dolled up in hot pants, low cut dresses,
perfumed like a whorehouse."
He gave the description of how the
hookers ply their trade: "They sit at the
bar, order a drink and sip it, letting the
guys on the make look at them." She'll
put her key out and go up first, with the
man going up five or 10 minutes later

be made a federal crime to help stop
"the alarming increase in killings of
these officers."
McGovern attended services at Ep
worth Methodist church, then gave his
first full-scale speech on the Vietnam
war in some time to about 400 persons.
The white, middle-class audience
marked a contrast to the blue collar and
black groups he has been concentrating
on lately.
McGovern observed that his long fight
against the war had led him to be
branded a "one-issue candidate" but
noted that most of the nation's domestic
problems economic injustice,
taxation, inflation, racism, the en
vironment, crime and "the corruption of
government and of politics itself" are
affected by the continuing war.
visited the home of a cabinet member.
The closest he came was a drop-in last
September at the Anchorage, Alaska,
residence of fired Secretary of the In
terior Walter J. Hickel.
The stop at the Connally ranch, which
is not exactly on a direct flight path from
the Florida White House to the one in
Washington, came as speculation
continued about Connally's role in the
1972 elections.
The treasury chief, often mentioned as
a potential replacement for Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew on the
Republican ticket, has said he came into
the Nixon administration as a Democrat
and intends to leave as one.
Connally also has said he has been
active in every presidential election
since 1936 and sees no reason to change
his habits now.
The most prominent of Texas
Democrats, former President Lyndon B.
Johnson, was not scheduled to see Nixon.
The White House said a tight
presidential schedule would prevent the
chief executive from going to the LBJ
Ranch, where Nixon's predecessor is
recuperating from a heart attack.
Although most speculation cited
Johnson's health as the likely reason for
the lack of a meeting, some observers
wondered if the former president did not
prefer, on his native soil, to keep
Republican Nixon at arm's length in this
election year.
and coming down half an hour later, he
said.
According to Alan, rates start around
$lO for half an hour, and the bartender
may get a cut of the prostitutes pay
usually for every $5O the hooker may
make, the bartender may get $lO.
Ohterwise, a customer may leave an
extra-large tip to the bartender before
going up to the prostitute's room.
According to Bill, who declined to be
called anything but an "informed
source," a
_hooker may work in another
way: informing the bartender with "My
name is ... If anyone comes in, send
them to my room."
"They are very careful about
solicitation. No one is ever arrested,"
Bill said.
Bill explained that there is usually no
pattern as to how often the prostitutes
visit State College. "Sometimes they're
here constantly, sometimes there's a
lapse •for three or four weeks."
The business mainly caters to visiting
and local businessmen "Men who

Apollo crew begins
technical de-briefings
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)
The Apollo 16 astronauts started
technical de-briefings yesterday on
their mission to the mountains of
the moon and scientists prepared
for their first look at rocks from the
lunar highlands.
Astronauts John W. Young,
Thomas K. Mattingly II and Charles
M. Duke Jr. underwent a detailed
medical examination yesterday
morning and then started reciting
the technical details of their 11-day
mission, which ended with splash
down in the Pacific last Thursday.
The spacemen were cloistered
with technical experts who
questioned them on every phase of
the space voyage, from launch to
splashdown. Their comments were
recoided and will be transcribed
later for a full mission report.
The men of Apollo 16 were
pronounced "in good physical
shape" after a medical examination
which lasted all morning. Dr.
Willard Hawkins said they went
through a series of X-ray,
laboratory and exercise tests.
"They look good," he said. "Their
responses were normal."

Demand end to war research
Protesters hold building
ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) Anti-war
protesters occupied the Cornell
University engineering administration
building for the fifth day yesterday to
dramatize their demands for an end to
ROTC and war-related research at the
campus.
Authorities attempted to serve court
orders on some of the activists Saturday
night but were unable to locate the in
dividuals cited. Their attempts were
then suspended because of a state
prohibition against the serving of legal
papers on Sundays.
The orders direct the protesters to
show cause why they should not be held
in contempt of court for ignoring an
earlier State Supreme Court temporary
restraining order to evacuate Carpenter
Hall.
A university spokesman said the
number of demonstrators inside the
building had dwindled to about 75 by

and few students have been seen to
patronize the hookers.
On the average, Bill said, the
prostitutes usually make just enough
money to get by and pay their traveling
bills. One exception, according to Bill,
was Ginger, who made almost $2OO
nightly some nights, charging $3O a
trick. Describing Ginger as a
businesswoman with "personality-plus"
who started in the business at 16, Bill
said she differed from most prostitutes
because she was "not ashamed of her
work and seems very happy in what
she's doing."
Alan, who has been offered $lOO to
obtain a prostitute, described them as
looking being "very rough, very gruff,
able to fit in very easily in a center
city bar." Many are black, he said.
Besides transient businessmen who
"need something to do for an evening,"
Alan said other clients are "a couple of
townies." He said he hasn't seen any
students acting as prostitutes: "It's

after spending most of the day
traveling from the South Pacific.
The astronauts splashed down near
Christmas Island on Thursday.
They were flown from the prime
recovery ship, the USS Ticon

Hawaii where they transferred to
an air force jet transport. They
arrived at Ellington Air Force Base
near the Space Center Saturday
night.
With them came half of the 245
pounds of moon rocks Young and
Duke collected while exploring the
Descartes mountain region of the
moon. The other half of the samples
arrived ahead 11 the spacemen.

The spokesman said two university
representatives had met with protest
leaders Saturday night but that the
discussions were "basically non
productive."
Cornell President Dale R. Corson has
maintained that the university would not
"negotiate" with the activists until they
abandoned We building takeover. And
the demonstrators, both students and
nonstudents, have said they would not
leave the building until negotiations are

Besides the abolition of ROTC and

also demanded that the university use its

Neither Alan or Bill have ever seen an
arrest for prostitution. Alan said:
"There's not much you can do to bust
them." He said in order for an arrest to
be made, there are three requirements:
two people, one person must be
propositioned and there must be an
exchange of money. Speaking of State
College Police Chief Herbert W. Straley,
Alan said, "Straley's too busy trying find
kids who smoke joints."
According to both Alan and Bill,
student clientele are rare. "Students
can't afford it," Alan said. "They just
don't have the money to put out."
