G-men broke up the- '^Chicago branch of,the operation by arrest-! ing two alleged women ringleaders here. They had in their possession two little black books listing 1,000 customers. Later in the day an alleged kingpin, John S. Gawron, 39, surrendered to federal authorities in Minneapolis.

Gawron is a partner in John's Bar and Funhouse at Minneapolis where authorities said the girls were obtained by the Chicago operators. Assistant U. S. Attorney Alex Dim said at Minneapolis that the ring operated in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin and that leaders reaped profits of $100,000 a year. Headquarters were at Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn., he said. High sources in the U.S. Attorney's office at Minneapolis that the ring eame from the University of Minnesota and several] smaller colleges. But they said| coeds did not take a large parti in the ring's operation. The women arrested here were Dee N. Wheeler, 40, a petite brownette, and Frances Elliott, 3l, a tall strawberry blonde. They were found living, in separate north-side apartments. The FBI said the apartments were each equipped with two telephones and that the women subscribed to a secretarial service to handle their calls when they were away. The black books showed the Dun & Bra/lstreet financial rat-, ings of customers or other ev^ dence of their ability, or willin/ ness, to pay.
