 London, April 29.-(UP)-A Polish refugee government in opposition to
 the present regime in London may be set up by Poles in exile in Rus Sta unless there is an early recon- ciliation between the Polish cabinet and the Sovsets, foreign reports im- piled today.
 Faint hope was held here that any such reconciliation is in pros-
 pect. Though Q polish government spokesman said that the Polish note yesterday offered basis for settle ment of the dispute. Soviet sources saw in the document no new means of approach toward mending the breach.
 Evidence of the gravity with which the United Nations regard this first break in their diplomatic front was seen in Q report that Prime Minister winston Churchill had been in direct contact with President Roosevelt by trans-Atlan- tic telephone.
 There seemed little possibility that anything short of a complete shake-up of the present Polish cab. inet or dropping of the Polish claim to territory occupied by the Russians in September 1889 would satisfy the Soviets.
 The Conservative Daily Telegraph gave prominent display today to Q dispatch from its New York core. spondent reporting that the Rus. sians believed Premier Wladislaw Sikorski already has lost control of his government to followers of Col. Josef Beck, last resident foreign minister of Poland, now living in Rumania.
 The telegraph dispatch referred to Beck as Q 'stauTch pro. German Pole", who, 1t said, had offered to form a Polish government under Axis auspices six months ago. but had been turned down by Adolf Hitler.
 If Beck's followers remain in the present exile government, the tel. egraph dispatch said, Q new Polish government will be established in Russia.
 Wanda Vassiievska, Polish wife of Q Russian deputy commissioner of foreign affairs. was said by the dis. patch to be the leader of group of Polish Socialists ready to particl- pate in any government set up on Russian soil.
 Miss Vassilevska, a Polish author ess who has become a member of the Supreme Soviet and a Colonel In the Red Army, published an ar- ticle in the government organ 14- vestia yesterday charging the exile government in London with "Fas. cist, anti-Democratic tendencies" and challenging It's right to repre- sent the Polish people.
 A spokesman for the exile govern. ment here contended that the Polish statement yesterday indicated Polish readiness to get off to fresh start In relations with Russia provided the Soviets would release from Rus. sia thousands of families of Polish ;oldiers, and all Poles of fighting age. and continue relief for the mass ,f Poles who will remain on Soviet oil.
