Detroit Mayor Moves To Beat Office Ouster
Detroit faced a recall campaign against Mayor Charles Bowles as petitions circulated. Bowles considered firing Public Works Commissioner John Gillespie, a longtime ally, after Gillespie opposed police chief Emmons. The recall movement gained momentum with business and civic leaders forming a push. Bowles previously dismissed Emmons over raids on gambling, while Gillespie has a history of political clashes. Police vice squad intensified raids as new police chief Wilcox oversaw numerous arrests in 36 hours.
