Maintaining that facts tell the
story, without official comment.
Colonel Furlong released these
figures:

recruited in Michigan, only $40
are in the metropolitan area.
"Of s.l37 auxiliary policemen
signed up for defense duties.
none is in Detroit.
"Of 915l nurses and medical
aides being instructed for
emergency duty, only IS are in
Detroit.
'Of 1901 Michigan doctors
and InterneS preparing for the
possible attack, only 5l3 are in
Detroit.
Out Of minimum quota OF
