LONDON, Sunday, May 9.-The
Russian government has approved
formation of a Polish division on
Soviet soil to join the Red Army
in the struggle against the Ger
mans, Moscow said today in a
broadcast recorded by the Soviet
monitor.
The question of Poles now in
Russia is a particularly sore point
between Moscow and the Polish
government-in-eX in London in
the wake of their diplomatic rup-
ture.
Moscow has contended that many
of them are citizens of the Soviet.
The London government, headed by
Gen. Wladyslaw Sikorski. has asked
for "the release" of all fighting
Poles.
Last January the British an
nounced that more than 100000 Pol
ish troops led by Gen. Wladyslaw
Anders had left Russia and gone
to the Middle East under an agree
ment between Moscow and the ST.
korski government. Russian sources
have complained recently that these
units refused to fight on Soviet soil.

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Adoption OF an employment

The postponement was decided on

Area VINO Director RAINY B..

to get the plan into operation as

to "steam-roller" it through. He
cited yesterdays action as IAN ex-

He emphasized that it was the
responsibility of the committee to
take proposed manpower programs
to the employers and employees for
whom they speak, decide when pro-
grams should 60 into effect and how
they should be carried out.
Deschner Voices Worries.
He indicated that where a national
VINO order appeared to go beyond
the executive orders under which
the VINO operates. he would hold up
enforcing the order until the public,
through the labor management
group, expressed itself to VINO Chief
McNutt and his labor nagement

Mr.. Deschner admitted that he
was "gravely concerned" about the
effectiveness Of the United States

stabilization plan, which is one of
the reasons the plan has been de-

After this ruling the police start

army, devoid of supply bases and

the bomb-ridden roads skirting

been cleared, but the enemy was
not expected to be able to put up
any real delaying action except
possibly in the mountains and at

There, only Is miles from the
port Of Hammamet on the southern
side of the peninsulas base, British
armor threatened to bottle up the
main body of enemy forces in their
last refuge on the African continent.
The United States End Army Corps,
