Colonel Hatch had earlier announced
, he would ask Washington's aid In the
vice situation here.
Mr. Kane said he considered Colonel
Hatch's work absolutely essential at
present, and that It should be supported
to the limit by all good citizens.
Others also disagree with Judge
Thompson's opinion of Colonel Hatch's
methods The Bev. Carl li Grammer,
