 Detroit, June 18-Authorities re- doubled their efforts to extermin- ate the black legion today in the face of evidence that 1t had re- sumed 1t terroristic activities even while its official assassin was de- tailing his work in court room.

Poole, a WPA worker, and authorities indi- cated that 1t might result in charges of obstyucting justice against number of black legionnaires who have not figured prominently in the investigation to date. Fearing that other members who had the teFnerity to reveal the legion's ter- rible oath might be marked out for punishment, authorities ordered the closest possible protection for all.

MAXIM CORKI IS
 DEAD IN MOSCOW
Famous Short Story Writer, Soviet Champion
 Passed Out Today

Moscow, June 1s--(UP) Maxim Gorli, Russian master of the short story and drama and literary cham pion of the Soviet proletariat, died today after lengthy illness. He was 6e. The passing of GoTIIi plung- ed millions in Russia into deep mourning for me was the idol of the people, reYered not only for his literary talent, but also for his championship of the common man and his fearless criticism of in- justice.
 A state funeral, with million or more people fnaSsed in Red Square, and burial in the Kremlin was be- lieved likely.
 Became Very Famous 0orki was famous not only in Russia but all over the world. The delineation of Russian characters in his fiction and dramas had univer- sal appeal. Few people have failed to know, at feast by hearsay, of his dramas, "the lower depths. and tne nlgnb l0uBlnBS.
 Gorki was one of the people, of humble birth and upbringing. His father was an upholSterer at Nijni- Novgorod. The father died when Gorki was child and he was tak- en care of by his grandfather, who was . dyer in poor circumstances,
 Young Maxim had to go to work at the age of nine. He worked as . scullery boy, bakers apprentice, watchmaH1, gardener and painter of IkonS. He nevertheless managed to educate himself and began to write for newspapers. His talent was al- most immediately obvious.
 Gorki has travelled widely and spent much of his later life out- side of Russia. He visited the Unit. ed States in 1906.
