Jefferson, Ecorse, arresting 42 men and confiscating $1,500 from seven charged with being the operators. It was one of the biggest raids in Ecorse in years. In the Detroit raids, a five-man Bethune Precinct cleanup crew raided three "blind pigs, broke up" three card games, confiscated liquor and beer and arrested 53 persons.

Ecorse officials and their political supporters had. denied a recent story in the Detroit Free Press tell- ing of gambling and other questionable activity in that suburb. The story said there were, among others, three gambling places on W. Jefferson and added that Ecorse police usually were bypassed when raids were pulled in the past. They were bypassed in Sunday's raid.

A wagon was brought from the police department in the Township of Ecorse to take the 42 to the County jail. Assistance was not asked of the City of Ecorse Police Department. CITES STORIES, IRKED WIVES Sgt Carl Robinson, head of the State Police racket squad, said the place came under observation after "newspaper publicity and complaints from housewives that their husbands were coming home broke from Ecorse." Robinson said the angry wives were not only from Ecorse but also from other Downriver cities, Detroit and Hamtramck. In the 3 a.m. raiding party were seven racket squad members, three uniformed troopers and a photographer.

Leading them were Lt. Fred Davis, of the Redf ord Post, and Robinson. Robinson said some of the troopers banged on the front doors of the former bar, just west of Southfield, with sledge hammers and demanded entrance. The men inside fled through the back entrance into the arms of police. They had been playing barbut, a dice game, Robinson said.

Warrants charging the seven with operating a gambling house will be asked, Monday.

called the chief operator. The other 35 will be charged with frequenting a gambling house. Robinson said he'll try to make arrangements for them to be tried in the Wayne County Jail "to avoid the trouble and difficulty of transporting them all the way back to Ecorse."
