Phone Distracts Clerk;
Ration Coupons Stolen

CHARLOTTE, Dec. T. up "A
daring theft of 100000 gallons
worth of gasoline coupons and
certificates that could have been
lifted from a dime novel was eff
fected today at midday in the
Mecklenburg rationing board of
flee.
Charlotte district OPA enforce
ment Officer Ralph V. Kidd said
the robbery was effected under
the eyes of dozens of persons and
with hundreds nearby.
He gave this account:
Mrs. Eloise Ellington, clerk in
the Duke Power Co., offices, had
been given the firms first quarter
allotment for 1945 and was ending
the transfer of the currency on a
desk in the rear of the lobby used
for handling rationing work. She
almost had finished checking and
signing for the currency when the
phone across the lobby, so feet
away, rang. A man asked to speak
with the woman from the Duke
Power Co., who is there doing
some work.
A ration clerk called Mrs. FL
lington to the phone and she placed
the ration currency beside he1
desk.
A man on the phone gave her
name and asked her to search
for brief case he had left on hel
desk. She made search but coulc
not find 1t. After the telephone
conversation she went back to the
desk in the rear of the lobby ano
the currency was gone.
Kidd said the theft apparently
had been planned perfectly anc
executed on a split second sche.
dule by at least two and maybe
more persons.
The chief concern, Kidd said was
for $500 gallons worth of T cou
pons, which are negotiable readi
ly. The other currency was in the
form of checks.

Those Of us close to the War

Mr.. Wallace said Gov. Dewey "is
likely to become even more con-

This real power consists of big

Rival Polish Groups
Reported Reopening
Unity Negotiations

~ the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Oct. 14.--Leaders Of
the rival Polish regimes of London
and Lublin were reported today to
be reopening negotiations for COM
bined government.
They nave heard from Prime Min
fister Churchill and Premier Stain
of the importance attached by the
Allies to a united Poland.
F Premier Stainislaw Mikola jczyk
of the London government in exile
conferred today for two-and-one-
half hours with Mr.. Churchill, Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, Brit
ish Ambassador He had met last
night with Stain and Churchill.
Even before the Premier went to
the Kremlin last night, one source
expressed confidence that good
blueprint would be drawn there for
final settlement of the differences
that have kept the London govern
ment and the Lublin committee at
odds for months.
Others Attend Meeting.
The session with the senior
statesmen was attended also by
Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav
Molotov, American Ambassador w.
Averell Hartman, and Tadeusz
Romer, Foreign Minister of the
Polish group.
In separate talks earlier yester-
day, Premier Mikolajczyk had con-
ferred with representatives of the
Lublin group, Mr.. Hartman and
Molotov The Polish Premier ap-
peared hopeful when he was seen
between his visits.
Though the belief grew that at
least tentative compromise might
be reached no quick public an
nouncement was expected because
Premier Mikolajczyk probably would
have to return to London again to
confer with his cabinet.
In all probability Premier Miko-
lajczyk had fair idea of what
the United States thinks about the
situation as a result of the discus
sions with Mr.. Hartman.
Differences Outlined.
The chief difference between the
two Polish groups appears centered
on the 1885 national constitution
The Lublin group wants it aban-
doned. Premier Mikolajczyk, al
though not offering to renounce the
constitution, suggested to the Lub-
lin Committee two months ago that
his government be reorganized on
the basis of five major political
parties. including Communists.
The Lublin group wants the Polish
President, Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz
shorn of his powers and the appoint
ment of the Lublin commander in
chief, Col Gen. Rola Zymierski, as
head of all Polish armed forces.
The future boundary of the coun-
try was not believed to be any OBJ
stacle to the discussions.
