Frank Leach, former special Off
Ger of the Hamtramck Welfare
Department was unfair to the race
and not deserving to be elected to

seeks.
Leach retaliated and denied the
charges and challeged any one to
prove them. Pickney, says that he
has the proof, and quotes Mrs.

of the Welfare as having said that
Leach was fired from his post be-
cause he was inefficient and un-
able to hold that post.
However citizens are divided in
