In the Richmond News Leader:

MATE SHOT

BY HUSBAND

IS CRITICAL

Compliments of the House

Since they had press cards for use in the city, newsmen in Portland, Ore. thought they should also have county cards. Sheriff Mike Elliott of Multnomah County agreed, and the cards were issued just before he was ousted last fall with the help of the Portland Oregonian and Oregon Journal (TIME, Sept. 26).

Last week, when Sheriff Terry Schrunk, Elliott's successor, led a raid on a local bawdyhouse called the Tourist Inn, he made a surprising discovery. In a desk were duplicates of reporters' photographs on the press cards issued by ex-Sheriff Elliott's office. Explained one of the girls: "We weren't supposed to allow these people in the place."
