Polish Premier Hints
At Russion Agreement
81 the Associated Press.

Diplomatic reports received here
today indicated an agreement had
been reached or was imminent be-
tween Russia and the exiled Polish
government largely adjusting their
dispute over Soviet occupation of
part of Poland.
The reports gave no details of the
projected agreement, but it was be-
lieved that 1t might call for Russian
release of thousands of Polish
prisoners and possibly Russian rec
ognition of the Polish-Russian
boundaries created by 1921 treaty.
The Polish Premier, Gen. Wladys-
law Sikorski, hinted at such an
agreement In a statement in London
yesterday.
He declared that "the Polish
Russian question which might have
shattered the outlook of many
friend of ours in the west, I believe
may disappear from international
politics"
Advices reaching here today indi-
Gated Gen. Sikorski might soon
make an expanded declaration,
bringing the Polish government
fully into line with the policy of
its ally, Great Britain, in promising
help to Soviet Russia.
The treaty of Riga, signed be-
tween Poland and Russia in 1921
after Marshal Pilsudskis army
fought the Bolsheviks in Poland,
established practically the bound
aries of 1893, and 100000 people
were transferred from Russian to
Polish sovereignty.

Navy Budget Office Bill
Is Vetoed by President

President Roosevelt today vetoed
legislation which would have estab-
lished an office of budget and reports
in the Navy Department.
While indorsing the purpose for
which the legislation originally was
proposed, the President explained
that he was disapproving the bill
because it had specified that a line
officer of the Navy rather than a
civilian should be named associate
director.
AS originally proposed, civilian
expert in budgetary and statistical
matters was to be appointed who
would give the Office a continuity
of administration not attainable
under changing naval personnel.
The change, Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
in his message, "is so basic as to
vitiate the purpose of the legislation,
and consequently I do not believe
any real purpose would be served
by giving it my approval In It's
present form"

Germans Drive From Southern Poland
Reported Developing Great Speed

Although German military circles
are known to exhibit some concern
lest an unexpected hitch develop in
the midst of their blitZkrieg, the
plan as laid down by the supreme
command is said to envisage con-
quest of Russia in six weeks.
Reports reaching Istanbul indi-
Gated Bulgaria and Hungary were
reacting to the new situation with a
general roundup of Communists and
suspected Soviet sympathizers.
An Axis source there said diplo-
matte relations between Russia and
Bulgaria might be broken soon.
Although Hungary is not at war
with Russia, this source expressed
the belief that Germany would use
Hungarian troops to occupy terri
tory taken from Russia. Bulgarian
troops would not be used for this
purpose, the, same source said, be-
cause of Rumanian distrust OF
Bulgaria and consequent unwilling
ness to allow Bulgarian soldiers to
cross Rumanian territory.
