SOVIET BREAKS
WITH POLAND
Russia Claims Poles Sup.
ported Nazi Charge on
Troop Sayings

London, April 20. (UP)--The Sow
let Union today broke of diplomatic
relations with the Polish Govern
ment In Exile, the Moscow radio an
nounced, charging that the Poles
had taken up and stirred up In ev-
cry way" a false Nazi propaganda
charge that Russians had slain
about 10000 or 10000 Polish troops
In Russia.
The Polish soldiers actually were
killed by the Germans when they oc-
cupied the Smolensk area, the Sow
let note to the Poles said.
The Russian note charged that
the Poles and Nazis have contact
and an agreement to carry on "a
hostile campaign" against Russia.
The Soviet action--culminating n
controversy with Poland over post
war frontiers-waS the first formal
break in the United Nations diplo-
matte front.
1.-THE Polish government not only
did not oppose the mean SANDER
against the U. s. s. r. but even did
not find It necessary TO approach the
Soviet government with any ques-
tons on the matter or ask for any
explanation" the Russian note said.
Soviet Foreign Minister Viacheslav
Molotov, in q note, charged the
Poles were using German propa-
ganda in an effort to snatch Soviet
territory in the Ukraine, in White
Russia and in Lithuania.
Opinion in British sources de-
scribed the break as tragic and re-
grettable."
"A very clever piece Of German
propaganda has had its effect" one
source said. These countries have
had their differences before and We
are hopeful this latest unfortunate
happening can be patched up.
I'VE will constantly work to this
end"
British sources, however. seemed
to be surprised by the extremity OF
the Russian action.
The Russian action climaxed
steadily worsening relations between
the two countries, especially in
regard to the alleged Staying OF the
Polish troops In 1910.
The Poles contended that some
5000 Polish officers were never ac-
counted for and asserted that the
Nad allegations were SO detailed
that an investigation was necessary.

Bioff, 'Bribed 10 Cut
1heater Loops Costs,
Raised Rivals Instead
By the Associated Press

by tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Racketeer
Willie Bioff testified yesterday that
George Skouras, theater circuit
operator, with operating costs $780,
600 higher than a rival chain,
"bribed" him to place the costs on
a comparable basis and that he did
so-by boosting the cost of the rival
chain instead of lowering Skouras
outlay.
"The whole deal was a disappoint-
ment to Skouras," said Bioff. He
didn't expect I would do it that way
'1n other words, you crossed him,
didn't you?" asked A. Bradley Eden,
counsel for one of eight men being
tried on charges of conspiring to ex-
tort more than s1,000,00O from the
moving picture industry.
NO said Bioff, himself previ-
ously convicted on similar charges.
'He crossed himself. I'delivered the
comparable condition"
Biof said Skouras, operating the
Fox Theater circuit in New York
City, offered him $4,000 to place
the operating costs on comparable
basis with the Frisch- -Rintzler Thea
ter chain in Brooklyn.
"I met Skouras in the office of Sol
Rosenblatt here in New York" Bioff
said.
"Skouras said. IF you can put us
on paying basis I'll pay you
S50,000, I turned to Rosenblatt and
said, Well, Sol, you've heard the
deal III accept the deal if you'll
stand responsible for the delivery
of the $4,000 Sol said he would
and I called in the heads of the
ether circuit and raised it's operat-
ing cost 100000 I told them they
had circuit comparable to that of
Fox and that they must operate
under the same cost"
WAS this a bribe?" Mr.. Eden
asked.
