REF PARATIONS MAY
 BUILD NEW HARbOR
Bordeaux Looking Forward to
 Added GlOries

Bordeaux, June F Rp-This prin- cipal port on the west coast of France expects German reparations to restore its glory of the days of Louis NV, when ships from all the world dropped anchor here.
 Plans are afoot for enlarging. deepening and modernizing the harbor at an expense of about ESQ., 000.0o0 during the next ten years. As much of the money would be merely a bookkeeping credit to Germany for stone. cement, iron and every form of harbor equip ment. there seems a good chance for the dream to come true. The government is eager to get the separations, Bordeaux certainly wants the harbor and the ships, and Germany has often offered to furnish more goods.
 Heretofore French acceptance Of such Dawes plan payment in kind on a big scale has been hindered by French business firms that wanted to sell their own goods. This time there can be no competition. be- cause if Germany does not furnish the goods the plan is too big to ex- ecute.

Mrs. Iskra, according to the officer, had a bump on her head and her lips Were swollen, hr husband hay ing punched her.
 Isllra admitted having had a few drinks of beer during a card game Sunday but he Was not intoxicated and there would never be any trou- ble in his household if his wife did not nag him he said. Frequently she talks so much that he leaves the bed at 1 or ? o'clock in the morning and goes into the kitchen and smokes cigarettes waiting for her to tire her jaws and doze off. so he can have some rest, he said Before Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein and Court Officer Lan- pher had succeeded in shutting off her talk, Mrs. Iskra made the point that woman who was in the court room is entirely too interested in lshra, and has frequently seen to if that he did not go thirsty.

mplimentary favorite son vote to him on the first ballot would be in violation of the presidents personal wishes. Accordingly, the delegation decided to support Hoover from the first ballot and Warren R Austin, prominent Burlington lawyer was delegated to make a speech second- ing Hoover's nomination. Austin. withdrew yesterday from the con- test with Langley for chairman of the Vermont delegation and thus made the Barre publishers election unanimous.
 New Hampshire had the double distinction of being the first state to indicate its preference for Hoov- CT and to have a favorite son on the ticket as we'll. Senator Moses not only has been designated as a candidate for the vice presidency, but he also is the choice for per- manent chairman of the convention The New Hampshire senator is a strong Hoover supporter and has predicted the latter's nomination on an early ballot. The New Hamp- shire delegation. of which Governor Huntley N. Spaulding is chairman, is solidly behind the Hoover Moses ticket.
 Leaders of the Rhode Island delegation expect an Il to vote for Hoover on the first ballot. They said the only vote that Rhode ls- land would not give to the secre- lary of commerce was that of Mrs Leona Curtis Knight of Providence. She is a daughter of Senator Curtis Of Kansas, candidate for the presidential nomination. Her fellow delegates have agreed that her first vote at least should go to her father.
