Galveston Mayor Elect Signals Possible U Turn on Red Light Plan
Galveston May 14 Mayor-elect George Roy Clough appeared to back away from a plan to restore the city red light district and said no further statements until taking office next Tuesday. He had earlier floated confining prostitutes to the district, which had been abolished. Officials including District Attorney Marsene Johnson and Police Commissioner Walter L. Johnston opposed the action. Texas Rangers visiting Galveston issued no statements, and State Police Chief Homer Garrison declined to comment on enforcement. Clough also spoke of allowing wide open gambling with dice and roulette but banning slot machines. Unconfirmed reports suggested outside gambling and prostitution interests might push raids, but observers doubted the likelihood. Police insisted no gamblers or prostitutes would be allowed to enter the city to prevent outside influence after his statements.
