In its place a new body, to be known as the War Veterans Relief Committee, was formed. Some 1,000 bewildered Tolish Americans heard the announcement at a grim rally at Falcon Hall, Young and old.

World War veterans and some who mourned soldiers killed in that war, crowded the hall with hopes they might find some way to come to the aid of their homeland. Told that their "country" not only fights the battle for the pres ervation of Poland but the battle of democracy and that it is bet ter to resist the brutal attack of the Nazi government and be van- auished, rather than submit to the barbaric onslaught of Ger many, the audience rose and cheered the speaker, Capt. John Pospula. a Polish World War Vet eran. Pospula, who was twice decorated for bravery, told his country men: I know your hearts are cry ing just as mine la.

I know you look for some guidance from this committee, but in view of the neutrality of our adopted- land we are at a loss on what to do except to collect fund for the relief of the war victims." It was then that Maryan Wojnow-ski, general chairman of the recently-formed Polish National Defense Committee, announced the formation of the Polish War Veterans' Relief Committee which would endeavor to "establish contacts both with the State Department and the Polish embassy in Washington to see what could be done toward distributing funds to the destitute of our homeland." In the event that the funds, clething and food cannot be sent directly to Poland they will be turned over to the Red Cross for distribution, Wojnowski said. The hopeful gathering at the close of the rally contributed more than $1,000. Donations of medical supplies and clothing also were offered. City Asphalt Plant Ordered Reopened In WPA Speedup To keep abreast heretofore slow-moving WPA projects. Public Works Commissioner William Roberts yesterday ordered the city asphalt plant reopened.

Street jobs which became snagged both by the WPA strike and the widespread layoffs now are reaching the point where asphalt surfacing operations are necessary, Roberts said. Under present plans, all major jobs wl'l be in shape before fall closes tns construction season. Because WPA delays, he said, the asphalt plant was shut down six weeks ago. Attention Is being focused in West Avenue, where sewer opera tions have delayed paving work, Roberts said. The street will be put in excellent shape from Buils Head to Hobart Street before the snow flies, he promised.

Central Park, Hudson Avenue and Oxford Street jobs also are elated for completion before winter, Roberts announced.

New dormitories being constructed in the gridiron theater will take care of that. Scheduled for completion by Sept. 18 in time for returning collegians, the dorms will accomodate 44 students and help solve the ever-growing housing problem of the institution. Also, they will relieve student financial burdens, being scaled at $80 a year, a saving of about 100 per cent over the two existing residence buildings. For Clarence B.

Livingston, superintendent of buildings and maintenance, and his crew of workers, the project, cost of which approximate $30,000, represents a task of considerable proportions. Speedy Completion Work was started five weeks ago, yet only the finishing touches re main. Much masonry was neces sary to install two floors in the unused space Inside the stadium, but carpenters, painters and electricians now are rushing operations. Sleeping quarters will be in two large second-floor rooms in which 16 double and 12 single beds will be placed. In addition, study rooms have been constructed on the first floor to house two or three students each.

Students will have their own desks, wardrobes and lockers. The administration can thank Livingston for saving upwards of $1,500 because of his eye for economy In acquiring beds. Unused Beds Found When the men's dormitory at 47 Prince on the old campus, as torn down six years ago, beds were stored in Eastman Dormitory. They stayed there, unused, until Livingston routed them out a couple of weeks ago. And when he dis covered they were all single beds and his plans called for 16 doubles he put men to work welding two singles together to make the necessary double-deckers.

The rest of the beds, all of which were found complete with springs and mattresses, were taken from Munro House, recently remodeled. The new quartern, it was emphasized by Raymond I Thompson, University treasurer, are not intended for football players or other athletes, but will be assigned to students whose college careers are threatened by financial limitations. Those assigned to the stadium rooms will pay $80 a year as compared with $140 to $160 for single rooms and $280 to $300 for double looms in Burton and Crosby dormi tories. Heat will be furnished by the University's central heating plant. STRKBKL IMPROVKI) Gustave A.

The Division of Canals and Waterways, a state outfit, will complete the last chapter to the city's sidewalk engineers very shortly. The only catch is that even the Division of Canals and Waterways isn't sure of the exact time. They will admit but guardedly that the 78-ton scow "should be back over the dam by Saturday." That means that the big push probably will be made either Friday or Saturday morning.

Right now the boat, which floated downstream from a spot in the river near the canal last Apr. 13, is resting about a foot above the level of the dam on a crib of 1,300 planks. Elevated by huge jacks, the scow will be raised approximately three feet higher and then a derrick boat will enter the scene and assift in the final operations.
