to present preliminary evidence.
The committee. OF which Clubb

an hour with Judges Remain,
Hodge, Card and Evans. The
judges took no action for the pres
ent.
Club said he has sked that a
grand jury be called 10 investigate
virtually every phase of city and
county government and suggested
that J. Edgar Hoover. head of the
federal bureau Of investigation. be
asked TO recommend a chief In
vestigator and a special prosecutor.
THE committee does not wish

said. This is a seaport town and
must be open-you cannot abolish
sin. and vice Will always be with
us-but the committee wishes 10
break up the ring Of politicians
and underworld characters who
brazenly defy all efforts Of law
