Basson, who Is a Czechoslovakian internal revenue employe, admits, the police say, that he invented the story to mystify the newspapers and cer- tain politicians. In doing &0 he in~ cidentally ‘hoodwinked the French Consul at Brunn, who reported at length on the “discovery” of the relics to his government, although he had not seen a aingle one of the alleged documents, Bassano declining to give the name of the bank where he said they were stored. | | | DEMOCRATIC MEETING Plans for the fall campaign have already began to formulate according to ward from the democratic town committee.
