Envoy Here Declares
Volunteer Army Awaits
Necessary Supplies
From U. S. and Britain

Poland will be able to put an army
of more than 100000 men into action
against Germany on the Russian
front very shortly" if the United
States and Great Britain can supply
the necessary equipment, Polish AM
bassador Jan Ciechanowski in
formed Secretary of State Hull to-
day.
In a letter to Mr.. Hull, which was
made public at the State Depart
ment. the Ambassador emphasized
that the Soviet government sis 10y
ally fulfilling all its engagement"
under an agreement signed in Lon
don last July 80 for joint action
by Russia and Poland against the
NaZis.
Enthusiasm of the Poles in Rus
sia actively to resume the fight
against Hitlerite Germany is so
great" the Ambassador wrote, that
the Polish army in Russia will be
virtually an army of volunteers"
He said great numbers of Poles
are applying daily for enrolment
in the Polish forces being organ
lied in the Soviet, thus swelling the
ranks of units being formed from
Polish regular soldiers who had been
lnterned in Russia following the
Soviet occupation of part of Poland
two years ago.
One of the great difficulties is the
lack of warm garments and warm
underwear, footwear, as we'll as of
medical supplies among the Poles
in RuGCiq, the Ambassador said.
The Al. cc-Cdor suggested that
Secretary Hull convey the inform :
ton contained in his letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In regard to Polish-Soviet rela-
tions in general, the Ambassador
said he was sure Mr.. Hull would be
interested especially in the fact that
Russia had granted Poland's armed
forces full rights of an independent
national Polish army, giving it like
wise the right of opening its own
schools, full cultural freedom and
freedom of worship for both Chris
tians and Jews"
He added that Polish citizens de-
ported from their homeland into
Russia had now attained their free
dom and that most of the esti-
mated 100000 Poles now in Rus
sia who are not of military age are
anxious to do their share in all
kinds of war work in factories and
on farms for the common effort"
Polish communities in Russia have
been given full freedom of worship,
he said, with a Polish Catholic
Church and a synagogue for Polish
Jews about TO be opened in Moscow
The Polish armed forces already
have their own Catholic military
chaplains, he added.

Gen. McNair Calls
For Replacement
OF Weak Officers
Lack of Discipline
Is Cited by Officer
In Review of Mock War
Bv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LEESVILLE, La, Sept. 3o-Lt.
Gen. Lesley J. McNair, chief of staff
of Army general headquarters, told
high officers of the 2nd and 3rd
Armies today leadership and COM
mand can and must be improved"
but that there would be no drastic
purge"
Warning that Time is fleeting,'
he called on Army and division COM
manders TO replace weak leaders
with strong ones as soon as possible.
Discussing the last field problem
of the Louisiana maneuvers which
ended Sunday, Gen. McNair said in
his final critique, 1T would be unfair
to create an impression that all
leadership is bad, for there are a
host of line leaders actually exercis-
ing responsible command while
many other potentially fine leaders
/ have not yet had real opportun-
! ity to exercise the leadership OF
which they are capable"
Lack of Discipline Cited.
Referring to lack of discipline
among the almost 100000 soldiers OF
the End and 3rd Armies, Gen Nc
Nair said:
There is no question that many
of the weaknesses developed in these
maneuvers are repeated again and
again for lack of discipline. Our
troops are capable of the best Of dis
/ cipline If the. ak it. leadership
is faulty. A commander who can
not develop proper discipline must
be replaced.
Other faults-a mass of them
are due to the comparatively low
training ceiling of officers"
A serious fault, Gen. McNair de-
clared, was disregard of the prin-
ciple that commanders must make
sure road is safe from enemy fire
before masses Of troops are sent
over it.
Other Failings Listed.
Other shortcomings he said were
not corrected in the second week Of
maneuvers were:
Disregard of orders for complete
| blackout at night.
Spreading forces too thinly over
too great front and comparatively
little skillful defensive action.
Inadequate scouting of opposing
forces.
Failure of troops to be impressed
by danger from air attacks.
Gen. McNair complimented the
Provisional Armored Corps-com-
| posed of the I'd Armored Division
and the I'd Infantry Division-for a
fine feat in crossing the Sabine
River in the swift attack on Shreve-
port, La, that brought an end to the
war games.
He said the maneuvers were "the
| fairest test short of war itself" and
that the training value justified the
| cost. The Army's summer and fall
maneuvers programs cost approx
mately $25,000,000.

Decision in Aluminium
Suit Being Dictated
After Three Years
Judge Expected to
Need Three Days to
Outline His Rulings
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Three
years and four months after the
trial started, Federal Judge Francis
G. Caffey today began debating
from the bench the opinion which
will embody his final rulings and de-
cisions in the Governments anti
trust case against the Aluminium Co.
of America, Aluminium, Ltd, of Can
ada, and 81 other defendants.
The judge, who was expected by
trial observers to require three days
for his dictation, announced at the
outset that he approached the deci-
sion with great diffidence,' chiefly
because of the size of the record,
the many phases of law involved,
outcome of previous litigation in the
aluminium industry, and certain fea-
lures of the testimony.
Judge Caffey said the Govern
ment, which sought through the
trial to dissolve Alcoa and break up
the alleged conspiracy. had failed
through two of the witnesses to
establish that the company has had
monopolized bauxite fields in Ar
kansas or elsewhere in the United
States.
1t appeared he said, that "Alcoa
has enjoyed no more rights than
were guaranteed to it under the pro-
visions of the Patent Act"
The witnesses the judge referred
to were George D. Haskell, president
of the Bausch Machine Tool Co.,
and Joseph Uihlein, Milwaukee
banker and brewer.
The trial, which started June 1,
1888, and was heard by Judge Caffey
without a jury, revolved around
Special Assistant Attorney General
Walter L. RiCes declaration in his
opening argument that the defend
ants had a 100 per cent monopoly
in the virgin aluminium and bauxite
industry throughout the Western
Hemisphere.
He outlined the two big issues in
the case as:
First, whether or not there is a
combination or conspiracy in inter-
state commerce in violation of sec
tion one of the Sherman Antitrust
Act, and second, whether or not
there is a monopolization or attempt
to monopolize interstate or foreign
commerce in aluminium in violation
of section two of the act"
The Government required exactly
year to present its case. Sum-
nations began March 3.
Two men named in the action,
former Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon and Albert K. Laurie, long
associated with Mr. Mellon in the
aluminium business, are dead.

After Helping to Build

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-A state
ment attributed to Josef August
Klein, 81, commercial photographer,
one of Is defendants on trial for
espionage conspiracy, that he had
been suspicious of his associates, now
co-defendants and that he tried to
get out of their company" was read
into the court record today.
The statement, said to have been
made to authorities after Kleins
arrest, declared that it was only
after Klein had helped build radio
transmitting set for Axel Wheeler
Hill, another defendant, that he
learned the set was being used
to contact Germany.

"I came to realize that I had
become involved in something ]
never expected" said the statement
Until then thought 1t was not
against the law. Then I realized
that he wheeler intended to
violate the regulations of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
and the United States Government.
He said that Wheeler Hill and
another defendant, Felix Janke, who
with 16 other defendants has
pleaded guilty, persuaded him to
work on the set. He said that at
one time they told him they in
tended using it to transmit CONNER
cial MESSAGES to Germany
