"in to" is the correct choice for your sentence. The fact that you can
separate "in" from "to" in "put in calls to the Senate office" shows
that the single-word form is inappropriate here. I get a very concrete
reading of "put calls into", a sort of "install calls" reading that
doesn't make much sense in the usual context for a sentence like this.
