A souvenir booklet commemorating the affair has been prepared by Father Dillon. Donors of memorials to the new church and contributors to the building fund are listed.
 The new church is built of hand cut granite, hued from quarries in this state and designed in Norman architecture. The seating capacity, including the balcony and choirloft, will accommodate 500. Pews have been arranged with 18 on either side --of the aisle.

 Little was said in the newspapers, which co-operated by not printing names or pictures of witnesses. Judge Ferguson says many witness ses were afraid to appear unless thus protected.
 For four months the inquiry pro- ceeded in virtual secrecy. Hundreds of witnesses entered tn downtown building unobsrved. Judge, Fergu- son himself was horrified as the picture unfolded. With Q change of city adminis- tration in January, better police CO., operation was obtained. The inquiry speeded up.
 SHERIFF, PROSECUTOR
 AMONG INDICTED
 Today those indicted include Sheriff Thomas c. Wilcox, Prosecu- tor Duncan McCrea, and former Superintendent of the Police Fred w. Frahm.
 ''There will be plenty more to come, too," says oHara. 'The whole gang that ran wild under prohibi. tion has now turned to the numbers and policy rackets.

Detroit, March 15.-One honest cop, who was almost run down by car filtered with $l0 bills, touched of the spark to fireworks that is now going of and giving up-and- coming Detroit these spectacles tt consider:
 Exposure of gambling syndicates with an annual play of $1O0,OOO,- O0O-abOut one dollar for every seven in DetrOit's industrial pay roll the biggest in the world.
 Fifty Detroiters-haf a dozen of them public offlcers-indicted on graft and corruption charges.
 Fifty more indictments on the pan--many of them aimed at men who have held highest positions of trust.
 Operation of a One-man grand jury that has dragged in 800 witt nesses-many in fear of their lives-tO tell of graft reaching $2,5O0, 900 to $3,OOO,O0O a year.
 One suicide, sudden departures rom the clty or scores OI men or varying prominence, and all the fuss and feather of a municipal housekeeping.
 It all started last August wher inspector Perry w. Myers, the "hon. est cop," jumped to save himself from a car that swung out of ar alley. Myer halted the car. TUE 5000 WAS DELIVERED TO THE RIGHT STATION
 The back seat was filtered witt guns and cigar boxes full of $1I bills. At gun-point Myers marched the four men in the car to the near est precinct station. There they werI relieved of 5000.
 It turned out that some of tha $500 was destined for that statioi anyway. It was one small eddy il a whirlpool of graft that Specia Prosecutor Chester P. O'Hari charges has engulfed much of De troit's officialdom.
 Soon after the "$10OO alley incl. dent" a young Detroit woman, Mrs Janet Macdonald, committed sui eide with her young daughter. Sh(

left behind a note accusing a man of having tilted her, and saying that he was a "payof man" for gamblers. These two incidents reused enough indignation for sev- eral citizens committees to petition the circuit court for a grand jury investigation. Judge Homer Fergu- son was named as a "one-Inan grand jury" He set to work.

 Judge Ferguson got little co-op- eration from Q police department so deeply involved in the rackets that already its superintendent had been suspended, its chief of detec- tiveS had resigned, Q precinct com- mander had been removed, and two detectives were in flight.
 So, aided by his specially appointed prosecutor, O'Hara, Judge Ferguson rented a suite in an oftlce building

TENDER 10 for the newsreels:
For more than three years war
on vast scale has been waged in
China. China is fighting for her
freedom and preservation as
nation. Japan is fighting TO make
China a vassal state. In recent
announcements she has stated her
intention of dominating the entire
Far East, of driving out all Western
trade and influence. In this war
she has destroyed our trade with
China. bombed our citizens and
property, violated our treaty rights
and ignored our protests. Few
Americans realize the importance OF
the Far East to the United States.
One-fourth of our foreign trade is
with the Far East. We are almost
entirely dependent on that part OF
the world for rubber, tin, hemp.
quinine, tea and, TO lesser extent,
for many other products necessary
in peace and war. We are respon-
sible for the safety and welfare of

with any South American country.

hatreds. Withdrawal from the Far
East and other parts Of the globe
means isolation for us. Isolation is
impossible in this much shrunken
world. We are a great Nation, a
world power, and must assume our
responsibilities and defend our
rights. Unless we are willing to
defend our rights now, We soon will
have none to defend. There is a
feeling on the part of some that we
can take no action until our great
re-armament program is completed.
They forget that We have now a
powerful Navy, vast resources and a
