Pretty Polish Diplomat Here
Gets Moscow Assignment
NotoIio Aszkenuzy
Is Named Second
Secretary
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The Polish government -in-exile in
London has reached over to the
United States to find the first
woman diplomat in Poland's history.
She Is Natalia Aszkenazy, pretty,
dark-haired Polish girl who has re-
ceived orders to proceed to Moscow
as second secretary for the Polish
Embassy there.
Russia, the United States, Bel
gium and perhaps few other ma
tions have had female diplomats,
but not Poland, which has given its
pioneer the toughest diplomatic post
in the world today. Cold Moscow
is the capital of a nation fighting
for its life, but Miss Aszkenazy said
today she is confident that Moscow
will be still standing in Russian
hands when she gets there.
IF it's not, there will be another
capital of Russia, and that's where
I will CO." she said.
Skipped Usual Steps.
The exigencies of war and her
own extraordinary aptitudes have
pushed this young woman, still in
her twenties, into the upper realm
of Polish diplomacy without the
usual schooling and training the
Polish Foreign ONCE requires
Other Polish diplomats have spent
two years at the Foreign Office and
had experience in major European
capitals before reaching the rank of
second secretary.
OF course, there are few major
capitals in Europe today where a
diplomat can get training.
She does not know yet whether
she will make a lifetime career OF
her new calling, but she brings some
new ideas to it.
Il think a great change in diplo-
matte methods is going to come out
of this war;" she says. THE days 81
frock coat and high hat diplomacy
are about over. 1t needs a young
fresh outlook, based on frankness. u
Came to Embassy Here.
Miss Aszkenazy, little, dark-eyed
woman, was born in Poland and
Travelled widely before she reached
New York City in 1899. There she
worked for the Red Cross a while
until some one, hearing her lament
that she was not more in the midst
of things, suggested that she could
be of great service to the Polish En-
bassy in Washington. So here she
arrived about year and half ago
AS a volunteer, she had the title
of honorary attache, but she was
not a member of the diplomatic
corps. She worked hard for Count

AT. Requests Ford
To Cease Checkoff
Under T.. !. 0. PACT
Action Follows NJ. R. B.
Order for Election at
14Feeder PIunts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associsted Press.
The American Federation Of Labor
has asked the Ford Motor Co. to
cease checking OF G. I. o. union
dues among employees in IA Ford
feeder plants until a Labor Rela-
tions Board election determines
whether the feeder plant workers
want to be represented by the c. /.
o. or the A. F. l..
Herbert Thatcher. a member Of
the A. F. LIS legal staff, said he
made the request nearly two weeks
ago after the board decided that
Ford's closed shop contract with
G. I. O.s United Auto Workers in
its main plant at River Rouge, Mich,
was not q bar to elections among
the feeder plant employees,
On october q the board ordered
an election .held within 80 days, the
arrangements to be handled by the
boards Detroit regional office.
The feeder plants are .located in
several small communities just out
side the Detroit area and, according
to Labor Board records, employ
2,527 workers.
Mr.. Thatcher said the A. F. l..
was not challenging the Ford-C. I.
o. closed shop agreement at the
main plant where c. I. O. won ex-
elusive bargaining for about $4,000
workers.
The Ford company, in announcing
the conclusion of a closed shop pact
with C. I. o. in June, said other
units of the vast Ford industrial en-
pire would be brought within the
terms of the agreement as quickly as
the c. I. o. union demonstrated it
had majority in those units.
Mr.. Thatcher declared that the
check-of1 system Of dues collection
under the c. I. o. agreement was
applied to the feeder plants Illegally
because no bargaining representa-
tive had ever been certified for those
plants.

| criminal attacks for which Catoe
was indicted following his arrest in
August.
Quizzed on Penalty.
Following Mr.. Fihelly's explana-
ton Of the general nature of the
case, Catoe was asked to rise, as
were all principals in the case, so
that the prospective jurors could
determine whether they were
acquainted with the defendant or
any one connected with the case.
When this formality had been COM
| pleted Mr.. Fihelly turned to the
prospective jurors seated in the box
and asked:
rs there any one in the Jury as
now constituted who has any con-
scientious scruples as to the imposi-
tion of capital punishment in first
| degree murder cases?"
One juror raised his hand and was
Immediately excused. Then the
prospective jurors who had been
seated were asked one by one if
they had read or heard about the
case. e4
Two out Of the IL said they had
not. -Four Of the jurors said that
they had formed an opinion on
Catoes guilt so strong that they
could not give him a fair trial. The
four were excused and the empty
places in the jury box were refilled
with talesman seated In the court
room.
Defense Counsel Walter M. Shea
then took over the questioning of
the prospects. One by one he in
terrogated those seated in the box
closely as to whether they had read
newspapers or magazines about the
/ case or had formed opinions which
could not be changed.
Sought Venue Change.
The defense had, earlier this
month, asked for a change of venue
and, when that was refused, for a
continuance in the case on the
grounds that the public mind was
so inf1amed against Catoe that he
could not get a fair trial in Wash
ington.
The force OF United States
marshals assigned to keep order in
the court was strengthened by a de-
tail Of metropolitan police, who were
called when the crowd grew noisy.
A few Of those clamoring for ad-
mission to the courtroom were al
lowed to enter as the selection Of
the jury progressed.
Catoe was dressed in a blue suit,
wore a white shirt and a blue tie.
On his lap he perched his gray hat
and during the proceedings kept his
large hands folded. He betrayed no
sign Of emotion during the morning.
Catoe was seated behind the three
lawyers who represent him, Mr..
Shea, j. Robert Esher and George J..
Boden.
Catoe was arrested after New York
police had found clue which linked
him to the attack Staying of a
waitress IN that city. According to
police, he confessed murders and
assaults on six women In Washing
ton, including Mrs. Abramowitz,
Jessie Elizabeth Strief and four
others.
