Porn theater owner denies charges
Child prostitution ring alleged
United Press International
NEW YORK — The owner of
a Manhattan live sex theater
Tuesday denied allegations
made to a state crime commis
sion investigating child pornog
raphy that he employed chil
dren in live homosexual shows.
William Oates, who owns and
operates the Follies Theater in
Manhattan, told the state Senate
Select Committee on Crime that
charges made by committee in
vestigators about his theater
were “inaccurate, incorrect and
all made up.”
The committee was told
Monday that a call-boy prostitu
tion and pornography ring in
Washington had sold informa
tion on its clients to Soviet, Brit
ish and Israeli intelligence agen
cies, and that the ring was only
part of a nationwide network
operating in New York, Hous
ton, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and New Orleans.

;ood news, oil magazine says
United Press International
HOUSTON — An oil indus-
agazine has reported that a
mg decline in the number of
[rating United States drilling
was good news for the ener-
usiness, but has warned that
|ld events make for an unpre-
ble final outcome.
Vorld Oil Publisher William
lley said in a letter preview-
I a drilling activity report
1 nday that the decline in drill-
i Ihad flattened since the First
ik of June.
Ifhe number of drilling rigs
U
at work has plummeted from
4,530 at the end of 1981 to 2,694
last week.
“Although the slump in activ
ity has been steeper and gone
deeper than anyone expected,
there are signs that the worst
may be behind us,” Dudley
wrote.
Although Dudley was
guardedly optimistic, he warned
fulfillment of the magazine’s
hopeful outlook depended on
unpredictable events.
“For example, an Iranian vic
tory in Iraq would do no less
than jeopardize most of the in
dustrialized world’s fuel supply
in the Persian Gulf region, a
turn of events that would only
cause U.S. activity to zoom,”
Dudley wrote.
“Conversely, any collapse of
OPEC production limitations
could further bloat the crude
surplus problem and depress
prices, with a predictable effect
on the business.”
Hughes Tool Co. spokesman
I.C. Kerridge agreed the rate of
decline has slowed and reported
this week’s count is up 36 rigs
over last week.
“It’s flattened relative to what
it was doing in the March, April
and May period,” Kerridge said.
“If yoyi look at the big drilling
states, it’s pretty flat.”
Hughes’ count of rigs at work
in the United States has drop
ped every week but two since
June 1.
Ironically, Dudley said, 1982
would probably be a record year
for the number of wells com
pleted in the United States be
cause of the delayed effect of the
drilling boom in the last few
months of last year.

Jesse Nava, who is from Mex
ico but has been living in the
Bryan-College Station area, was
arrested about 7:30 p.m. Mon
day. He had his daughter, Ver-
nonica, with him at the time.
The child has a serious heart
condition and must be given
medication twice a day, See said.
However, she was not due to be
given any medicine until 10 p.m.
and was in fine condition
Tuesday.
A passing motorist heard a
description on the radio of the
child and her abductor, and
asked Nava, who was holding
the child, if he wanted a ride.
The unidentified motorist took
Nava to the sheriffs office,

33, and Steven Harold Oliver,
, both of Atlanta, at $500,000.

■ Asked why the bond set for
Bines was so much lower, Feld-
Ban said, “Based on informa-
lon from the affadavit the in-
Blvement by Jones was not as
Itivolved.”
Feldman appointed a public
defender attorney for Jones and
said he was still trying to appoint
two outside attorneys for Clark
and Oliver. A preliminary hear

set for Aug. 4 in U.S. District
Court.
“It was about 6:30 Saturday
morning when they broke down
the door,” said Fred Schou.
“They had a shotgun pistol — a
sawed-off shotgun — and a gun
with a silencer on it. They
wanted money and to kill us.
They told us, ‘We rob for a liv

us and all that.”
Schou said the intruders im
mediately attacked the woman,
who was visiting one of the men
living in the rented house.
“They raped her from the
time they got here — took
turns,” Schou said. “I want to see
those guys burn in hell for what
they did to her.”
FBI officials said the men ran
sacked the house and robbed the
occupants of money and jewel

Dick Berry said that one of the
victims was pistol-whipped on
the head and was later hospital
ized. Schou said he had about
$190 taken from him.
Later, he said “they gathered
us all up” and forced the men

any minors were on the premis
es,” Oates’ lawyer, George Val-
lario, told the committee, which
is investigating male child por
nography and prostitution.
Oates, who said he had no
connections with organized
crime, also denied charges that
homosexual dancers were en
gaged in prostitution in his thea
ter but said, “I have no idea what
they do outside.”
Regarding the use of minors,
Vallario told the committee:
“These men are deceptively
young-looking.”
Dale Smith, a committee in
vestigator who worked with
Washington police, told the
panel Monday that call-boy ser
vices were selling information
on clients to Soviet, British and
Israeli spy agencies.
Smith said he learned about
British and Israeli intelligence
purchases from Robert Kohler,
who is said to have worked as an
accountant for several of the
prostitution services in the
Washington area.
Smith said a member of the
intelligence community told him
the Soviets also had bought the
information.
The investigator did not say if
the clients were government
officials, but it is believed that is
the sort of information foreign
intelligence agencies would be
interested in as well as anything
involving diplomats based in the
nation’s capital.
Detective Anne Fisher of the
Washington Metropolitan
Police told the hearing that a
number of pimps have set up a
nationwide exchange for boy
prostitutes.
The boys, Fisher said, were
used for pornography, call ser
vices and street solicitation.
“A group of pimps set up con
nections in Houston, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, New
Orleans, New York and
Washington, D.C.,” Fisher said.
“An awful lot of young boys
are being permanently and
psychologically damaged,” said
State Sen. Ralph Marino, the
committee chairman.
Smith said that entertainment
at the Follies Theater consisted
of live sex shows involving
under-age boys who engaged in
homosexual prostitution “be
fore, between and after shows.”
Smith said the owner of the
Follies Theater, William Oates,
also ran Cinema Follies in
