been obscured for some time in
Poland. has summoned by telegraph
his leading supporters to confer

This may be merely to hear reports

Politically. the former premier is
known to disapprove strongly the
policies Of those now controlling
Poland. and fears these policies
may lead Poland away from the
close contact with America and the
Western powers. for which he
stands. Much opposition even in
warsaw to the present orientation
may perhaps give him and his
friends the desired opportunity to
regain their influence in Polish af-
fairs

Zone of the less we'll known, but
most spectacular incidents, was the
escape of two priests by ruse that
would have done credit to Monte
Cr:sto. One of them having been
strung up by the hands for days, and
then put in a rack while his wrists
still were swollen, without making
him betray his faith, wrote in orange
Juice to friends outside, for light
rope with a weight at one end. He
also asked that boat be brought to
the river below Cradle tower on a
certain night. On that night he
made his way to his fellow prisoners
room. The two flung the weighted
end of the rope to their friends in
the boat, pulled by heavier rope,
climbed from the steel walls to the
boat safely, and made their escape. .
