BLACK LEGION HAD
ACTIVE WOMEN'S
AUXILIARY GROUP

DETROIT, May 20. (uP)-
Wives of members Of the Black
Legion formed a secret women's
auxiliary and. plotted vengeance
against religious and political mi
norities over their tea cups and
knitting needles, police said last

Forty-fipe names of women al,

been obtained by police, the Usif
ed Press learned. So important e
authorities consider this phase

that Police Inspector John T.,
Hoffman and special detail havS
been assigned to collect evidences
against the housewives.
Their meetings, according 70
police, were a comic blend of ir
tense enthusiasm for the cause
and neighborhood gossip filled
with recipes for lemon pie and
impending twists of the stork."
Authorities investigating the
men members of the legion made
their second attempt last night to
obtain federal cooperation. Wayne
County Prosecutor Duncan c..
McCrea wrote to Guy T. Helver-
ing, commissioner of internal rev.
enue in Washington, asking if it
would be possible to strike at the
officers Of the organization thru
the federal income tax law. It
was that law that finally put AL
Capone in a federal prison after
charges up to and including muir
der had failed to dislodge him
from his throne of crime in Chi
cago. o., A..
McCrea asked Helvering to pay
particular attention to the men
who collected dues Of dime a
month from members Of the le-
gion and who sold the black robes
and hoods which the terrorists
wore when they went about their
nighttime business. The prosecu-
tor asked Helvering to concen-
trate his investigation on Vergil

is alleged to have been in charge
of collecting dues and selling
black robes.

Evidence Now insufficient I;
Resolution for Inquiry
offered Senate

WASHINGTON, May 90. (UP)
The department of justice yester-
day declined temporarily to join
the investigation of Black Legion
terroristic activities because there
was insufficient evidence that fed
eral laws had been violated.
Duncan C. McCrea, Detroit
prosecuting attorney, had ap-
pealed for aid from the G-Men
after his investigation of the STAY
ing of a WPA worker by the night
riding band because he "knew too
much" uncovered evidence indi-
eating the terrorists were operat-
ing in more than Is states.
Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings replied that more in
formation concerning possible
federal law violations would be
necessary before the justice de-
partments agents could enter the
case, but left the way open for
throwing G-Men into the investi-
cation by inviting McCrea to sub
nit such information. -.
GAS of course you are aware"
Cummings telegraphed McCrea,
"the authority of the department
Of justice in criminal matters is
limited to violations of federal
statutes. If you have any infor..
nation indicating that a federal
offense has been committed, l
would suggest that you submit the
same to the department of JUS
tice."
Meanwhile, moves for congress
sional investigation of the Black
Legion and other "un-American'
secret orders gained impetus on
Capitol Hill. .,
A thorough inquiry into all
such "subversive" organizations
by a Joint congressional commit
tee was proposed in resolution
introduced in the senate yester-
day by Senator Elmer Benson, F.
L., MINI. A similar resolution was
offered in the house Wednesday
by Rep. Samuel Dickstein, r., N.
Y.
Benson urged congress to act
promptly before Eve awake to the
day when our cherished American
liberty will be a thing of the
past" His proposal called for ap.
pointment of four senator's and
four representatives with full
power to make thorough inves-
tigation of secret orders seeking
to establish dictatorship or rule
by force and terror in the United
States" .-
Several clauses citing an "emer-
gency" demanding action in his
resolution declared:
peace officers in many sec
tions of the United States have
disclosed the existence and OPP
Grafton of subversive secret or
ders which have adopted methods
of terrorism. night riding, bru-
tally, and even murder to attain
un-American ends and purposes"
1t also said that:

of a dictatorship in
