Ministers to Attack Vice and Rackets in PA
In four southwestern Pennsylvania counties ministers plan a vigorous sermon drive against vice and racketeering. The United Commission for Social Action led by Rev. Allen J. Howes will urge congregations to condemn long standing vice conditions in Fayette, Westmoreland, Greene and Washington counties and press citizens to write to state officials for stronger law enforcement. The ministers accuse public officials of tolerating violations tied to numbers racket, gambling and prostitution, saying even children risk losing allowances to gambling.
