the face of overwhelming enemy
superiority. On October 2 at pm,
orders were given to cease fire"
The battle inside Warsaw began
when the Patriots-Whose number
originally was placed at 10000
could hear Russian guns laundering
on the approaches of the city in late
July. The Red Army summer often
sive then was at its height.
The communique was the last
word from Gen Komorowski. Polish
officials here admitted they did not
know the fate of the general, on
whose: head both the Germans and
the Soviet-supported Polish National
Liberation Committee have placed
a price. ~e
Scattered Fighting.
While organized resistance by the
little underground army was ended,
Polish headquarters here said scat
tered fighting against the Nazis con-
tinued and this was substantiated by
the German radio 1t first an
nounced the battle had ceased, then
reported firing had broken out again
Details of the capitulation came
from Associated Press War Core
Spondent Daniel De Luce in Moscow
He said the surrender was arranged
by Col. Monter, representing the
KomoroWski headquarters, and that
forces who refused to give up were
trying to fight their way from War
saw across the Vistula.
Earlier a bulletin broadcast from
Warsaw told of skirmishes yester-
day at the heart of the capital.
Dispute More Intense.
Meanwhile, the dispute between
the London government and the
Polish Committee in Moscow over
internal affairs increased in in
tensity.
The Moscow group, which has
been denouncing Gen, Komorowski
and some members of the London
government as criminals" declared
those responsible for the Warsaw
uprising began it without any CO.
ordination with the command of the
Polish Army or the Red Army, con-
sidering only their own selfish in
terests."
The semiofficial Polish newspaper
Dziennik Polski today accused the
committee in Moscow not only OF
failing to help the underground
fight in Warsaw but of standing in
the way of assistance.
An editorial replying to commit
tee attacks on Gen. Komorowski
recalled that on August committee
officials declared there was no fight
ing in Warsaw
Later, when the Soviet press ad-
mitted fighting was going on the
editorial added, they (committee
officials began to make charges
that the rising had begun prema-
turely, and they did desipte the fact
that they bore the responsibility for
the communique issued by the Un-
ion of Patriots from Moscow on july
%, which called he population of
Warsaw to arms
Alastair Forbes, London Daily
Mail parliamentary expert, bluntly
criticized Russia's policy toward
Poland and Britain's "acquiescent'
attitude.
THE soldiers of Warsaw's heroic
underground army are today being
deported to Russia by the Red
Army" he wrote. What would the
Russians have said If Gen. Eisen-
hover had deported the men OF the
Paris Maquis to San Quentin and
Sing Sing?'
Had Opposite Effect.
He declared that even though the
British government had been actu-
ated BY honest desire to show
itself friendly toward Russia land
thus draw her into a closer and
franker partnership, the policy has
had the very opposite effect"
Russia" Mr.. Forbes added, 'has
turned every proffered inch into a
captured mile. Concessions already
made without demur have made 1t
ever harder to make a final stand
on principle.
ut seems certain that If Russia
Is to continue in her present policy
toward Poland, which is so much
harsher than that she pursues to-
ward her late enemies. Romania and
Finland, she will be losing much OF
the vast good will she has built up
In this country. And it is EQUALLY
certain that If Britain continues to
remain silent and acquiescent In the
matter, she will lose much OF the
good will she herself has built up
IN Europe"
