POLICE CRAFT IS CHARGED IN
 SAN FRANCISCO
Special Investigator Makes Report Huge Sum
 Reported Collected

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March IT. Charges that the San Francisco police are collecting one million dollars annually in graft and that at least $374,00 comes from houses of prostitution, appeared yesterday in the final report on the investi- gation of Edwin Atherton, who has spent $60,o00 and more than one year in his inquiry.
 The investigator, former Depart ment of Justice Agent, said the present laws against prostitution, gambling and other alleged vices, accounted for the graft system and he recommended a repeal of these laws and to provide licensing of such activities on the theory that the licensing would not increase gambling or prostitution but would reduce the graft tribute.
 Principals named by Atherton as involved in the alleged graft, issued sweeping denials of his charges, bitterly assailed the investigator and several damage suits are threat ened.
 The report was made public by Superior Judge George Steigler who recommended action by a grand jury if that body deemed it exped- tent.

 Even in Christianity itself we have acrimonious discussions. Con- pregation A says it will not go to Congregation B but if great con- gregation says it has great under lying purpose there is success
 New Deal Legislation
 The impromptu speech contained the first indirect reference to the Presidents reorganization program by any of the nine Justices In con- clusion Justice McReynolds said the court ruled against IA New Deal laws and supported two. We start ed under the Constitution with the notion that each community must attend to it's own affairs and there be left to the Federal government only certain large things. Now, with extraordinary means of com munication, we have very enlarged difficulties which somehow must be overcome All these make for fric- tion. We must awaken the citi- zens to their obligations rather than to their So-called rights"

 It is anticipated that at least a million dollars worth of building work will be done through FILA this year. MT Pegues said, and in order to eliminate the delay of hav- ing to get approval for underwrit- ing and SO on from Seattle, the Housing Administration has named the Juneau office as a complete clearing office for the Territory. Under the set-up, Administrator Pegues is authorized to pass on ar- chitectural, underwriting, inspec- ton and all features of the work. Tn other words, Alaskans taking ad- vantage of FILA can get final action in the Juneau office through the Administrator here instead of hay- ing to wait until the papers are sent to Seattle
