only, recently has turned to Jewish

in major league baseball since Babe

New York, with it's expensive lay

to see that a hero of a certain

mended that the Padre jetty be ex-

Government Committed
Relative to the connection Of the
federal government with the Valley
project and the improvements pro.
posed, General Jadwin states:
The federal government is com
mitted to the improvement Of this
harbor. It should complete the ex-
listing project depths to provide q
trial Of the project for a period Of
years. leaving the question of con.
Snuing or modifying the improve

opment of m Deeper chan

visable at the present time. Should

given deeper channels.
