Although some publicists claim that the Security Program has cared for 22,000 out of 88,000 Mormons in distress, most investigators have concluded that the church has as yet no reliable figures. Significantly, nonpartisan Mormons have for the church's own good lately attempted to correct widespread misunderstandings of the Security Program.

O.'s national political arm, the United Automobile Workers proposed to bid for control of the fourth city of the land. Detroit's charter provides for a nonpartisan primary with a run-off election. Since most of the municipal jobs are appointive the campaign hinges on the mayoralty and the nine seats on the common council, which is elected at large.
