Reckord Targets Vice in Annapolis Campaign
Maj. Gen Milton A. Reckord urged Governor O'Conor to back a statewide cleanup around military bases to combat prostitution and venereal disease. He cited a 1840 agreement placing police responsibility on reproduction of vice, while Baltimore officials disputed his charges. The drive enlists 2.5 million General Federation of Women’s Clubs members and coordinated FBI and county meetings set for July 22 to discuss laws and enforcement near camps.
