TOXIC, Nov. 27.-The official
death toll in Japan's worst earth
quake since the disastrous temblor
of 1928 rose to 257 today.
The list of injured contained 346
names, and government relief
workers, penetrating small villages
on the Izu peninsula, found thou
sands of homes destroyed and dam
aged.
Airplanes which had surveyed the
stricken zone soon after the quake
pointed the way for troop detach-
ments sent to render aid to the
sufferers. These, aided by local OF
ficials, distributed rations among
the survivors and provided tempo
rarv shelter for those whose dwell
ings lay in ruins.
Many picturesque spots in the re-
sort region which lies along the
peninsula were marred by the earth
quake. Highways in the Hakone
lake district in the mountains were
so badly torn up that it may take
more than a week to reopen some
Of them.
A representative of Emperor Hiro-
hito was touring the district today
to make a report to the capital. The
emperor, it was announced, is max
ing a cash donation to the sufferers.

Der Cook county grand jury reported
today that it had found evidence
that the Chicago police department

the investigation and bring about
remedies.
The grand jury said:
Morale of the police department
is low because promotion is based,
not on merit, but on proper hook
ups"
Able officers. refrain from show
ing enterprise in meeting crime be-
cause they go unreWarded.
Such conditions could not exist
