TITLE Boxes/bundles stacked outside WCCA Control Station DESCRIPTION Boxes/bundles stacked outside WCCA Control Station Original caption: "2301 Bush Street, San Francisco. Baggage piled on sidewalk across from WCCA Control Station." CONTEXT "When I arrived at the church at 8:00, I found a long line of baggage down the block from Channing to Durant, with duffel bags, suit cases, folding chairs, ironing boards, cartons, bundles, blankets, card tables, cribs. Noted one good-looking suitcase with stickers saying "Rome," "Paris," and one that caught me up short: "Hotel Metropole, Beyreuth." The street was blocked off, with policemen at each end permitting only Japanese unloading more bundles to go through."
