CLASH IMMINENT OVER AUDITORIUM
Difference Arises On Question Of Control
 For New Structure

A row impends over the question oi control of Birmingham's municipal auditorium, which is fast nearing com, pletion. The point has been raised that the park board, instead of city com. mission, is entitled to jurisdiction.
 This developed late Monday after a meeting in Commission President D. E. McLendonfs office at which repre- sentatives of the city's seven organized musical organizations discussed with commission members a plan whereby these Organiza tons could work in CO., operation with the city and give a series of concerts in the new audi torium. Nothing definite was done, officials sale. after the session.
 Members of the park board attended the session. All commissioners except w. B. Cloe were present, and Mir. ClOe said he had not been invited. The de- Alterations were behind closed doors.
 Recently, City Attorney W. J. Wynn ruled that the city commission has jurisdiction over the auditorium, and that it should come directly under Com missioner W. L. Harrison, whose 'spe- cialties' 'are public utilities, public property and playgrounds. Other at torneys, however, are said to have ex. pressed the belief that the act of the legislature creating the park board gives it control of the big building, which is to be dedicated October 19.
 "As far as I am concerned, the city attorneys ruling will be followed.' President McLendon said.
