Union With Czechs
By BLAIR BOLLES.

Jan Ciechanowski. the new Polish
Ambassador, appealing for unceas-
ing American material support of
Great Britain, disclosed today that
the exiled governments OF Poland
and Czecho- o-Slovakia in London had
begun to formulate plans for post
war federation of those two repub-
lies.
They now are under the domina-
ton of Germany and Russia.
This proposed federation, Ambas-
Sador Ciechanowski said, is seen
as the nucleus for a general post
war settlement of the economic and
political problems of all Central Eu-
rope, including the Baltic and the
Balkan countries.
Poland is overrun. but not de-
feated in spirit" he said at a press
conference at the Embassy.
Three Point Policy.
The Ambassador offered a three
point basic policy for keeping the
peace in Europe. He said:
q. There can be no stable peace
alongside of a. Germany allowed to
rearm.
%. Effective security is the only
sound foundation of permanent
peace in Europe.
"3. Democracies can only survive
if they are united in purpose and
ready to fight in defense of the
principles for which they stand
M CiechanoWski arrived here re-
Gently from London, where he was
assistant secretary in the Polish
Foreign Office. and on Thursday pre-
sented his credentials to Mr.. Roose-
welt.
The Ambassador termed Poland
even now Great Britain's principal
Ally in this war"
He said that Polish brigade is
in Egypt and that Poles are fight
ing in the air and on the sea against
the axis.
He gave it as his opinion that the
war could be shortened by a regular
flow Of materials of battle from this
country to Great Britain. He SAID
the Polish forces would share in the
materials sent from this country tc
England.
The Ambassador said that both
the German and the Russian mas
ters of Poland are attempting tc
"annihilate" the Polish population

Affected by Changes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
More than a quarter million chill
dren will have TO change schools
because of population movements
resulting from the defense program,
Army and Navy authorities said
today in asking Congress for s1l5,-
100000 to help local school boards
meet the problem.
A survey made by the Federal
commissioner of education and &C
cepted by the War and Navy De-
partments found that schooling
must be provided for 12O7OO chill
dren who now live or will reside
soon at Army posts. naval bases and
other non-taxable Federal reserva-
tionS.
The survey further estimated that
educational facilities must be pro-
vided for 143,707 other children not
on Federal reservations.
Secretary of War Stimson and
James Forrestal, Acting Secretary
of the Navy, advised the Senate in
communications made public today
that the Federal Government must
assume responsibility since most
school districts would be unable to
care for the numerous extra STU
dents or pay for required new build
ings, transportation and additional
teachers.
They suggested these emergency
school costs could be handled In
connection with President Roose-
velts recent request for a $50, 900,
900 appropriation to provide COM
munity facilities in areas affected
by the defense program.
The Congress was asked to help
meet the cost of sites, buildings anc
equipment as well as transporta-
ton to and from existing schools
which are not within walking dis
tance of new communities. 1t was
also asked to pay part of the costs
of operating school plants, including
salaries for an estimated $4,000 ad'
| ditional teachers.

1t asserted that if the object Of
the Germans was to save the Ital-

The army of free Greeks will

"Roosevelt's proposal of war aid to
