RACE BATTLE POLES FEEL SLIGHTED BY SCHOOL OFFICTALS Citizens' Committee Suu-‘i gests That Ludorf Be En- gaged as Architect | In an open lotter addressed “to {the school board of education of the |clty of New Hritain, attention of Mr, E. C. Goodwin, chairman,” the Polfsh | Citizens' committee, Rev, Alexander Kowalezyk, president, and J, Perza- nowski, secretary, recommends that Henry ¥, Ludorf be selected to draft plans for some of the new schools which the board of education is plan- ning to erect, The committee ex- pressed the opinion that Mr, Ludorf has been slghted In the past, The letter follows: “At least one-fifth of the taxpayers of this city are citizens of Polish nu- tionality or extraction. For man¥ years we were satisfled to pay our taxes and leave it to others to expend them for public utilities, in such way as they saw fit, “One of the large items of expense was and is the construction and main- tenance of our public schools. Al- though nearly 2,000 of our children are recelving education in our paro- chial school, we cheerfully paid our taxes for the maintenance of publie schools, We did not ask, nor do we ask, at this time, that any of the pub- lte funds be apportioned to our paro- chial school. However, we are aware of the fact, that the school board is making efforts for a new bond issue of $625,- 000, which money is to be used n erecting new schools, and making ad- ditions and changes in the present buildings. “We feel that as American citizens, as taxpayers, and as parents, a certain consideration shouid be given to us in this matter, ‘“The chalrman and member of the school hoard know that one of the prominent architects, not only of the city but of this state is Mr. Henry F Ludorf, raised inm New Britaln, edu- cated in our schools and who has (gained a reputation for himself in | the. world of architecture, “Mr. Lu- dor? is also a Fateran of the World war. So far, not a single soiltary school building, towards whose erec- tion we are paying our proportional taxes, was built according to Mr. Lu- dorf’'s plans or specifications. School {bulldings, erected even in our midst where the faxpayers are mostly citi- zens of Polish nationality or extrac- tion were awarded to other architects. ““We keenly feel the injustice of the situation. Especially that in the past three years, several schools such as the Nathan Hale and Trade school were awarded to architects withc%t competition. Although this is the first public statement that we are making in this matter, we hope, t¥t} it will receive due consideration and attention of the school hoard and city in general. We will expect, as we feel that we have right to expect, that plans and specifications for sev- eral of the new schools, for whose erection we are to he taxed by a |bond issue, will be made by one of our own representative, Henry W Ludorf."” {“Lefty” Flynn, Movie Star, [ Is Sued for Divorce Los Angeles, Jan. 6.—Maurice B. | (Lefty) I%lynn, star member of the | Yale football team nearly a decade ago, has been accused of desertion in |an action for divorce filed in the su- !perfor court here by Blanche Palme Flynn, They were married in New {Jersey in 1916 and have two children.

Bonar Law asked M. Poincare to keep him informed each day of every move and the French premier prom- ised he would do so. Bonar Law told his French colleague he hoped with all his heart that the entente would not only continue, but also be forti- fled, When the British premier some allusions to .what had taken place at the allied conference, M. Polncare remarked that French opin- fon was entirelv wrapped up in the idea: of guarantees.

It was stated authoritatively that Great. Britaln expects France to hold anything she may seize in Germany as trustee for all the allles. This is made recent speech by M.
