ENJOYS in Exile
CiechonowsM Ably Speaks
For Cause of Valiant Poles
Diplomat Grateful for Aid of Americans
Whose Qualities and Sincerity He Admres
BY CATHERINE HAMBLEY.

Poland has been fought over for
centuries, Danzig being its main
thoroughfare to the Baltic and War
saw and Cracow the gateways to
the granary of the Ukraine and the
riches beyond Treaties have been
deSecrated, as in the latest instance
by Hitler, but the stubborn Poles
rapidly rise to claim their independ-
ence. This constant fight for eX-
istence has developed a distinct
racial characteristic exemplified in
keen-eyed, 54-year-old Ambassador
Jan Ciechanowski.
He resembles the Slavic type and
expresses broad point of view in
perfect English.
After studying at karlsruhe Uni
versity in Germany, he majored in
economics at the University of Bir-
mingham, England.
A wariness, which fails to hide
his great charm, ever keeps him a
diplomat-and a clever one at that!
You soften under his quick smile
and admire his businesslike ways.
You cannot help wanting to know
him better and always are hopeful
OF doing so, though he is skillful
at sldetracking you from himself
to his country.
Grateful for the support of
America, he has feeling of friend
ship for its people whose down
right qualities and sincerity delight
me!N He stresses the community
OF ideals between Poles and Ameri-
cans. Today we are facing the
aggression which Poland has faced
time and time again and is resist
ing now
Proud of His Sons.
He speaks with pride of his sons.
The Ambassador visited California
this June and, by the invitation of
the RAF. presented "Lado." short
for Wladislaw, with his wings on
completion of his pilot training un-
der American instructors The 18-
year-old youth sailed shortly for
fighter duty abroad.
The Ambassador digresses to men,
ton the toughness, the accuracy of
eyesight and the quick reactions of
the Polish Air Force. which supple
mented the intrepid spirit of the
Raj IN th1 Battle of Britain. The
eldest, Johnny" has been with the
Polish Motorized Cavalry in Scot
land for two years while Stanisias
is attending school at Providence,
r. I.
The Ambassador can always join
IN the fun which is inevitably helped
by ms sharp sense of humor. Though
his life is subordinsted to the war
effort, he appreciates Bach and Mo-

Counsellor in London.
In 1919, after being chief secretary
to the British section of the foreign
Office, he became chief of sec. etariat
for the Prime Minister at ire Paris
peace conference. He remembers
! how the musician, with no tine for
the piano, would drum unconsciouslr
on his desk and tne arms OF his
chair.
After the conference nc became
counsellor of the Legation at London.
In 1875 he was sent to take over the
Job OF chief of division to The foreign

pointed Minister to Washington.

here as Ambassador in February,

But when in Poland he enjoyed
taking part in the shoots; wild
boar, lynx, deer, wolf as we'll as
pheasant, blackjack, and woodcock
being good hunting there. He also
enjoyed listening to heavyweight
bouts over the radio in Munich
days.
Works Late at His Job.
The deluge has hit the envoy
full on. He attacks his work with
zest, often being up beyond mid
night. Yes, it is total war for
Ambassador Ciechanowski. He is
hard and realistic toward the task
at hand and he is doing his job;
representing his government, nego-
tlatlng with ours, and lending a
helping hand to refugees and to
Polish communities over here. He
must be ready to leave town at an
instants notice; has made as many
as four speeches day.
From behind his huge desk he
states that victory must establish
the total peace indispensable after
total war" and adds that a step
in the direction of permanent sta
bility was accomplished when a pact
was signed between Czechosloyakia
and Poland outlining a post-par
confederation between the two Slav
states on democratic lines. In re-
gard to Russia, he hopes bygones
will be bygones and that the pres
ent brotherhood in arms between
Russia and Poland will lay the foun-
dation for collaboration in the
future
On leaving him you still wonder
what he really does feel, sure of
only two things-his intense patriot
ism and the fact that you like him
immensely. Z

ers, at which the OPA policy was
explained.
The penalty for rationing viola
ton may be a $4,000 fine or one
year in jail. It is a misdemeanor
not felony, and prosecution can
proceed on information, without
grand jury action.
Harry K. Wainwright of Gasoline
Retailers, Inc, said today he
thought Washington was freer of
gasoline bootlegging than any other
place. I'm told some of it is going
on" he said, but I can't see any of
it rampant here"
Mr.. Wainwright asserted that
dealers here already are rationing
on their own because supplies OF
gasoline are less than the legitimate
demand. He is certain, he said, that
there are in the hands of the public
ration cards calling for more motor
fuel than is available.
An official of the Keystone Auto
Club said he thought dealers were
cooperating for the most part with
the rationing program. Reports of
bootlegging and reports of strict
compliance with the law have been
received, he said, but not enough
of either for the club to make any
definite moves.

House Rejects Restriction
On IVA Asked by Senate

The House today rejected a Sem
ate amendment to the independent
Offices appropriations bill designed
to confine Tennessee Valley Author
ity expenditures to appropriations
previously voted by Congress.
Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, outspoken advo-
cate of the Senate restriction, told
the House he would press his fight
later for its adoption in separate
legislation rather than as part of
an appropriation bill.
Under existing financial procedure,
the TWAS directors retain full con-
troll over receipts from power sales,
estimated to run $36,000000 next
year.
Mr.. Dirksen agreed with Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee,
sponsor of the Senate amendment,
that the IVA should turn its re-
ceipts into the Treasury and con-
fine its expenditures to annual ap-
preparations.
The bill, embraced in a conference
report, now goes back to the Sem
ate for consideration of the House
action.
The House conferees and the
House itself accepted Senate
amendment holding IVA travel ex-
penditures next fiscal year to

Leiserson Appointed
As Chairman Of New
Rail Labor Panel
Group Is Empowered
To Probe Disputes That
Might Impede War

President Roosevelt today ap-
pointed William NJ Leiserson
member Of the National Labor Re-
lations Board, as chairman of the
new National Railway Labor Panel
created by executive order last
month to investigate any railway
labor disputes which might inter-
fere with prosecution of the war.
Other members of the nine-man
panel, the White House announced,
are:
Associate Justice Wiley Rutledge
of the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the District: William H.
Spencer, dean of the University of
Chicago; Judge Walter P. Stacey,
Raleigh, N. c.; Dr. Edwin E. Witte
of the University of Wisconsin,
Walter T. Fisher, Chicago attorney;
John A. Lapp, Chicago; John A.
Fitch, New York School of Social
Work. and Norman Ware, member
of the Connecticut State Board of
Mediation and Arbitration.
Whenever any railway labor dis
pute threatens to interfere with
prosecution of the war, Chairman
Leiserson is empowered to designate
three members of the panel to sit
as an emergency fact-finding board
to investigate and report to the
President.
In the past it has been necessary
for formal strike vote to have
been taken before appointment of a
fact-f1nding board by the Presi-
dent. The new procedure obviates
the necessity for strike vote as a
preliminary to Federal efforts at
adjustment in view of the fact that
American labor generally has agreed
that there shall be no strikes during
the war.

Washington gasoline dealers found
guilty of willful violation OF ration

suit of a survey just completed by

closed today that very substan-

ably will only be warned, it was

Serious wilfull violators, however,
should be punished drastically and
publicly" Mr.. Joss asserted.
