'SLAP THEM DOWN' "Any time any citizen finds any of those fellows in his borough, I'd like him to give them the bum's rush. Shoot them, if possible, or crack their heads with anything to Those fellows don't do anyone good -slap them down." foundry Terming the 104 recipients of the awards "an inspiration to other citizens," the Mayor cheered the taxi drivers among them by announcing that he hopes to reduce the number of cabs in the city, making possible shorter working hours and higher earnings. Also taking part in the exercises were Police Commissioner Valentine, who outlined the manner in which each of the civilians had aided the police; Fourth Deputy Commissioner Cornelius O'Leary and General Sessions Judge James G.

Plan Auction Sale To Run Poles' Fair Exhibit Next Year Funds with which to maintain PO. land's pavilion at the World's Fair next year will be raised this Fall through an auction sale of manufactured goods stored in the United States by that ill-fated country before the outbreak of the war, it was learned today. Spokesmen for the exhibit revealed that this plan was adopted in preference to a prior proposal for a cash subscription campaign among -Americans and other sympathizers of the Polish cause. The sale, which may be held at the exposition, is expected to provide more than the $150,000 needed to insure the continuation of the pavilion in 1940.

The goods to go under the hammer will consist chiefly of art works and bric-a-brac, whose value would be greatly enhanced by sentimental considerations if Poland should cease to exist. An official announcement of the date and place of the auction will be made soon, probably by the Polish Consul General, it was reported.
