By 1950, the proportion had climbed to 39 per cent In 1954, it jumped to 46 per cent and in 1955, the previous record year, it reached 49 per cent.

One Briton in every four, or 26 per cent, admits that he used to go to church more frequently than he does now.

Nearly four out of every 10 Britons today say that they never, or practically never, go to church or that they only listen to radio and television broadcasts of religious services. The typical Briton who never goe3 to church today reports that he was between 16 and 20 years old when he stopped going.

That is one of the highlights of a special survey conducted jointly by the American Institute of Public Opinion and its British affiliate the British Institute of Public Opinion.

The survey is believed to be the first international study of religious attitudes and church-going habits ever undertaken. THE U. S. STUDY found 51 per cent of adults attended church during the week of the survey; the British study found 11 per cent. The fact of the matter is that church attendance in the I nited States during the year 1957 is off to a record start.

Today's figure of 51 per cent is the highest ever reported by the Institute, except on an Easter Sunday. THE INCREASE in United States church attendance during the last 17 years is best evidenced by the following comparisons.

A eudden shift of policy by The store for BIG MEN and TALL MEN BUY AND SILL THROUGH FREE PRESS WANT ADS The causes that sparked Jordan's government crisis are mainly American dollars and a ftimmick. The United States stands ready I to give American dollar aid to Jordan an overpopulated desert kingdom without oil, agriculture or the other resources of her i richer Arab neighbors. Jordan cannot survive without outside subsidies. The gimmick is American insistence that dollar aid go only to those fighting the spread of international Communism in their countries.

NABULSI GOT the thing started when he said: Jilt the United States handed me 100 million dollars and said 'It is yours if you fight I would reject it. I will not fight Communism for the United States." Hussein then fired him. With Nabulsi went his cabinet. In eluding one Communist and two pro-Communist members. There are other important rea Egypt could change the plan but appears unlikely.

State Department officials concentrated on negotiations to as-I sure a solid front among the Western allies in whatever U.N. debate develops. They also kept a tense watch Ion the political crisis in Jordan which, they said, could touch off a new international emergency throughout the Middle East. THE SYRIAN troop movement into Jordan rame at about the same time the Amman crowd demonstrated in favor of Nabulsi. Reports that a regiment of armored troops had "invaded" Jordan were called ridiculous.

The reinforcements reportedly consisted merely of a single battalion with Soviet-built T-34 tanks and their entry was in accordance with the. mutual Jordan Egypt Syria Defense Treaty. sons for the crisis. One is an internal struggle for real power that bears close watching. But it really was a clash between anti-Americans and pro-Americans that ignited the bitter struggle which has torn Jordan apart for four days.

BY KEN MrCORMICK Free Press Staff Writer Lefty Clark, dapper and smooth, is operating the biggest gambling joint in Havana, city of sin, loose morals and revolutions. The personable Lefty (born William Bischoff) heads up the Tropacano in the Cuban city of sin and revolutions. The place is reported to be owned by Frank Costello's New York syndicate. Clark was known to hundreds of Detroiters two decades ago. when he operated gambling places in Detroit, Ecorse and Macomb County.

The layout Lefty heads up now is the most fabulous of them all. It is a sort, of a city within a city, with scantily-clad gals hanging from trees to warble popular songs. DINERS and drinkers sit beneath the trees in the tropical atmosphere to rest up after a turn at the Casino's dice and roulette tables. The casino is a large room lined with slot-machines in which players may drop nickles or dollars. Two large dice tables dominate the room.

Customers stand three deep for the opportunity to lose their money. As in the old days in the Detroit area. Lefty moves around greeting guests, watching games and being a genial host. You would recognize him immediately the same little (five-feet, six inch') guy dressed in a well-tailored business suit. Only his silvery hair indicates that he will be 70 his next birthday.

LEFTY, despite his apparently-calm existence today, has been a storm center most of his life. Detroit police ran him out of the city. He retreated to his most famous joint, off W. Jefferson in Ecorse. While operating this establishment, he hired drivers to pick up customers at downtown corners and speed them to Ecorse.

He catered mostly to working people. State police finally harassed him so much he again fell back. This time, he opened th Palm Gardens on Van Dyke, a far more elaborate place. But he never really got going there. A reform movement was on, with the late Attorney General Harry S.

Toy spearheading the drive. FINALLY Lefty moved to New York, later to Las Vegas, thence to Florida. All those places, it is reported, wpre owned by the Costello syndicate.
