 SIDES WITH PASTOR
Declares kU>ciusko Post Is Divided on Merits Of Community House Like Family SutElbbIc.

Albin Bakicl. chairman of the community housc project for Kos ciusko post of Polish World War Veterans, speaking for the post. he said. has made q sweeping denial of statements made that legal action would be taken against Rev. LucyaE
 Bojnowski for alleged utteranccs against the post or that Lawyer Stan
 ley Traceski had been retained as counsel. Mr. Bakiel stated today that the matter Was entirely like d family squabble and was not for out siders. He was surprised to read in last nights Herald of the alleged at tack of Fatller BojnoWski, and stated chat the move on the part of the committee to give the pxoject the publicity that il has been given late ly, was not officially supported by the post. President Bakiel says that he is in entire accord with Father Boj nowski in the matter and that number of the organization are with him. He did admit. however, thac the organization is divided in tine matter but referred to the whole hing as d family affair which did not concern outsiders in the least. The advertisement which have appeared in the newspapers were not support ed by the post nor the president of the organization. Any advertisements if there We"c to be any were to be referred to Mr. I3akiel for his Q. k. and inspection but this has not been done. Mir. Eukiel deplores the pub fcity given to the affair and wants it known that the organization is not against Father Boinowslli but rather is in favor of what he has said.
