DISCUSS WHO'S
TO GET SALVAGE
BRIDGE LUMBER

Discussion as to whether the county
or the Converse Bridge Co shall have
the use of the lumber in the Bayou
Chico bridge, a frame structure which
will be torn down to make way for
the steel and concrete draw to be con-
structed, was one Of the features of
the meeting of the board of county
commissioners, called in regular ses-
sion yesterday.
1t is estimated that there is $1,000
worth of material in the bridge, which
the county might prof1tably use. The
Converse Bridge Co. has made claim
for the lumber, but precedent permits
that the contracting form, which de-
molished such structure, be allowed
the use of the old material.
If the lumber is turned over to the
contracting company, it is said that
they will probably construct a tenn
porary bridge for use while the new
one is being built. This will do away
witk the necessity of forcing mOter
traffic from Fort Barrancas and the
Naval Air Station, to be routed via
jackson street~instead of the more di-
rect way across Bayou Chico.

 While the MOrgenthau report is in complete it is known that the investi- gatons of the commission did not convince it that Polish outbreaks S against Jews were inspired by the government as the mem bers of the comission feel that had official sane tlOn been given to the movement the number of victims would have been greater.
 The Morgenthau report, it is fore cast will deplore the raising of the racial issue, empha size the view that the separation of the Jews and the Poles within Poland is impossible and lay stress upon the necessity of the reconciliation of the discordant ele- ments by mutual concessions in the interest of the new Poland
