qualities in which no racial or,
national group possesses a mo-
nopoly.
McCrea personally tried and
convicted most of the notorious
gunmen and kidnapers who ter-
rorized Detroit in 1930 and was
responsible for the successful
war against the Purple Gang. He
has, during his incumbency as
Prosecuting Attorney, participat-
ed directly in more trials than
any of his predecessors.
Perhaps the most notable of
his undertakings has been the
campaign to reduce exhorbitant
natural gas rates, a struggle
which is now before the Mich-
igan Supreme Court. Through
his efforts the bread and milk
trusts were smashed, as a result
of which these food commodities
are now sold in the Detroit area
at lower prices than in any oth-
er metropolitan community. Loan
sharks and illegitimate finance
company operations have like-
wise been driven to cover.
Among McCrea's aides in of-
fice are Harry Colburn, chief in-
vestigator, and Samuel Brenner,
former probate judge, and Har-
ry B. Letzer, assistant prosecut-
ors.

JUDGE THOMAS C. MURPHY
into office as Judge of the Pro-
bate Court, his first appointment
was to make me his official court
reporter, the first member of
our faith to ever receive an ap-
pointment in the Probate Court
in the County Building to my
knowledge. My reason for bring-
ing this to your attention is not
necessarily for any selfish pur-
pose, but to acquaint you with
the character of the man who
now holds that office. In an age
when intolerance and bigotry
seems to be on the increase we
should be eternally vigilant in
preserving our democratic insti-
tutions by retaining those men
in public office who are not only
judicially qualified, but whose
views as seen through their acts
o n religious and racial matters
are not open to question."
Judge Thomas C. Murphy's
tenure upon the Probate Bench
and his record in office has
stamped him as possessifig out-
standing judicial qualities both
in experience, temperament and
training so essential in order to
understand the many problems
of family life administered in the
Probate Court.

Jewish American Soccer
Team to Play Sunday
The Jewish American soccer
team made its third debut in
Flint Sunday, Oct. 30, with the
resulting score of 3-2 in favor
of Flint's team.
Those desiring to try out for
the soccer team should get in
touch with Captain Will Granat,

The next game will take place
on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 1:30 p. m.,

With thousands of Detroit and
Wayne County workers return-
ing to daily employment, all
business barometers show an up-
ward trend. Retail sales reached
a new high for the year. Fac-
tory employment in automotive
and other lines has more than
tripled in the past six weeks'and
further additions to payrolls are
said to be contemplated by most
major manufacturers.
Students of economics have
long held that tax payments are
an accurate gauge of business
conditions. County Treasurer
Jacob P. Sumeracki announced
that collections in his office have
doubled in the past three weeks.
"It has always been our con-
tention," Sumeracki said, "that
if people are given a fair tax
rate and the opportunity to work,
they will pay taxes readily. The
recent spurt proves this theory."
Many recent payments are be-
ing made under the two ten-year
tax plans now in use by the
county, records show this week.
A second plan was later set
up to care for 1933, 1934 and
1935 taxes. Recirds show this
to be equally as" successful as
the first moratorium.

HARRY COLBURN
attentiveness to duty has stamp-
ed him as a relentless foe of
crime, contributing in no small
measure to his many outstand-
ing accomplishments. Among
Colburn's successes have been
the investigation and smashing
of the dreaded Black Legion,
the inquiry which exposed and
subsequently resulted in the dis-
solution of the milk and bread
trusts, the probing of the bid de-
pository by which agency plumb-
ers, builders and home owners
were forced to pay tribute
through added costs, and the nat-
uralgas inquiry. The latter ven-
ture has attracted national at-
tention, and has culminated in a
petition before the Michigan
Public Utilities Commission for
reduction of rates, the matter
now being under consideration
by the Supreme Court.
Colburn enjoys to the fullest
extent the confidence of his su-
perior. He has frequently dis-
posed of matters of vital concern
to the Jewish community in a
creditable and diplomatic man-
ner, avoiding publicity which
might have been misconstrued
and of damaging consequences.
Colburn is highly regarded by
McCrea's staff for his pleasant
and winning personality and par-
ticularly for his eagerness to
lend a friendly counsel to his
subordinates. He is a member
of Congregation Shaary Zedek
and numerous communal organ-
izations, to which he devotes
considerable time and effort.
Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
It was not without some mis-
givings that I wrote my earlier
letter in boosting the candidacy
of Captain Allen Guy Ludington
for State Senator in the Fourth
District. This trepidation was
due to my fear that I might be
accused of trying to capitalize
politically on our fear of intol-
erance.
One thing is certain, however:
We Jews are safest under a fair
system, where human rights and
liberties are considered of pri-
mary importance.
'Democracy is that system and
democracy will exist only so long
as it "works." Its success de-
pends upon the ability of the
citizenry to elect honest, capable
officials. The other type of poli-
tician shames the principles of
democratic selection of the Gov-
ernment. Occasionally a disgust-
ed but essentially honest ele-
ment among the majority joins
the Knights Errant (hoodlums
in disguise) who promise to
bring Truth and Light back into
government.
That is the surface story of
the rise of Fascism, the excuse.
We Jews are therefore particu-
;
arly interested in Good Govern-
ment and in electing officials of
the type that will be able to op-
erate governmental affairs hon-
estly and efficiently.
Thus, this interest must trans-
cend any qualms which I may
have in regard to "mixing in"
politics.

Because of his genuine concern and human
understanding of the needs of the working
man, and his impartial treatment of labor dis-
putes he is the idol of Organized Labor, He
has brought us definite business recovery by
securing Industrial Peace and Security with-
out Bloodshed and Through His Own Efforts.
He is responsible for the Unemployment Com-
pensation law which means that the welfare
of every working man and woman in Michi-
gan is protected should their employment
cease.
He has brought us Civil Service eliminating
the spoils system from state government.
Through his rural electrification program he
has already brought the conveniences of the
city to thousands of farm homes.
His health program is a model for every state
in the country and embraces hospitalization
for many types of cases sadly neglected in
Michigan in years gone by.
He has broadenedand improved the educa-
tional system of Michigan tremendously.
He has increased old age pension benefits from
a meager pittance to a sufficient amount on
which to live.
He brought funds to Michigan for Federal
Housing which has made Michigan predomi-
nate in the nation in this respect.
The law enforcing agencies in Michigan have
been unified and co-ordinated by Governor
Murphy to a point where strict law enforce-
ment is now the rule rather than the excep-
tion.
. . . AND his plans for the welfare of the
people of Michigan have only begun!
Read what former Republican Governor
Chase S. Osborne says about Governor Murphy:
"I have been a Republican for many years
and I have never left the Republican party,
even for Theodore Roosevelt. I am going
to vote for a Democrat for Governor for
the first time in my life and I am over 80.
If it were not for my advanced age I would
take the stump for Governor Murphy in this
campaign. Governor Murphy deserves re-
election for his health program alone, if no
other reason is considered. Governor Mur-
phy's health plan is the greatest issue ever
proposed by any Governor in Michigan's
history. It transcends all politics because
the people's health is not controversial. No
more important issue has ever been put
before any people in the world at any time.
Governor Frank Murphy gave distinguished
service in the world war, and came home
a captain with the love of the men under
him. I think highly of Governor Murphy
and I wish him well."
The newspaper men and women of Michigan
have unanimously rallied to the support of
Governor Murphy because they know the
truth at first hand about BOTH gubernatorial
candidates and CANNOT BE FOOLED. They
are expressing their opinions over the radio
