BACK IN 1932, Louis Gross
Was convicted of a murder that
had been committed in Detroit's
Syrian colony . . . He has spent
17 years of a life sentence in
Jackson Prison . . . and now, be-
cause of the efforts of - Rabbi
Joshua S. Sperka, Jewish prison
chaplain, national attention has
been brought to bear on the fact
that Gross may have been in-
nocent.

IN THIS MONTH'S Argosy .
magazine, Erle Stanley Gard-
ner, creator of the fictional
detective, Perry Mason, tells of
receiving a letter from Rabbi
Sperka that interested hint in
the case for Argosy's ,Court of
Last Appeal . . . of his visit
with the rabbi and his family
. • • and of the information
he has been able to unearth
in the case.

ABOUT S P E R K A, Gardner
writes, "The man has extra-
ordinary ability, energy and
magnetism. He is as active and
full of bounce as a tennis ball
in a championship match. • Our
interview started at his office
in the synagogue and wound up
over coffee and cookies at his
house. Rabbi Sperka and his
wife have three of the nicest,
most well-behaved and most in-
telligent children one could ever
wish to meet. It would take
more space than is here avail-
able to describe the spirit of that
household, the respect in which
the children hold their parents.
Their prompt, eager ohedience
seems to be not the result of

ing a major chapter in the life
of a young man whose work as
a member of AZA, BBYO and
Bnai Brith in Detroit has been
unexcelled . . • Harry has done
just about everything that a
non-professional can do for his
order . . and it is quite easy
to conceive that he will reach
even greater heights as a pro-
fessional worker because his
wealth of experience has already
made Harry a wonderful model
to follow.
