Polish Premier DELAYS
Visit 10 Washington;
Still Lacks u. ). Visa
BY BLAIR BOLLES,

Information reached here today
that Premier Stanislaw Mikola jczyk
of Poland is delaying his trip to the
United States where he was said to
be hopeful of enlisting active Amer
lean support for a resumption of
Polish-Sov relations on a basis
satisfactory to his government.
Premier Mikola jczyk has yet to
obtain an American visa. There is
no explanation for the delay. He
was expected to leave England be-
tween January S and TO-
The attack on Wendell Willkie in
the Moscow newspaper Pravda was
regarded here today as a new dis
couragement to hopes for a resump-
ton in Polish-Soviet relations.
Issue Is Critical.
The continued break between the
two governments has become crit
ical issue in United Nations affairs,
now that Russian troops have en-
tered territory which the Poles con-
slider their own and which the Rus
slams claim.
The attack on Mr.. Willkie gave
Pravda an opportunity to warn the
rest of the world that the Soviet
Union holds to the view that Soviet
territorial questions are the business
only of Russia. Mr.. Willkie urged in
the New York Times Magazine that
Americans should not let them
selves distrust Russia because of the
territorial questions. Pravda replied
that the questions of Finland, the
Baltic republics and Poland "is an
internal affair of the Union of So
Wet Socialist Republics"
The Polish government in London
has given no sign it will resume re-
lations with Russia at the price of
recognizing the Russian claim to
Eastern Poland, which is regularly
advanced in Russian journals. The
United States and Britain are eX-
changing views in search for
formula on which to repair the
breach between the Polish and Soviet
regimes. Secretary of State Hull
conferred on the matter yesterday
with British Ambassador Halifax.
Embassy States Claim.
Pravda' S restatement of the Soviet
view that territorial questions are
no ones business outside Russia
came just as the Polish government
was displaying conciliatory atti-
tude by instructing Poles not to re-
sist the incoming Russians. How
over tho ooyorpnopt O leo instructed
the underground forces to Cooperate
with the Russians only if diplomatic
relations were resumed.
The Soviet Embassy here yester-
day distributed an article in its
bulletin justifying the Russian claim
to Eastern Poland 1t said that
after the diplomatic partition of
Poland with Germany in 1899. the
Red Army liberated Western Bye
lorussia and the Western Ukraine
from the yoke of the Polish usurp-
ers." The 'usurpation" allegedly oc-
CURED in the Polish-Russian War
of l920-l, terminated by the treaty
of Riga, which acknowledged that
the regions were Polish.
The Embassy recited also that
plebiscites held after the occupa-
ton in 1889 resulted in annexation
of the two Polish regions to the
U. S. S. r.
Byelorussia is generally known
here as White Russia. The bulle-
tin added:
Inch by inch the Red Army is

The day is near when free Soviet

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Maj.
Gregory "Pappy" Boyington has
his 26th Japanese plane and that
puts him all even with Maj. Joe
Foss, another marine and the
wars ace of aces to date.
"Pappy' has been after that 26th
plane for some time. He got it in a
raid over Rabaul, New Britain, three
days ago. He is at the advanced
age--for a fighter pilot---of 80, and
is about ready for staff job on the
ground. His rank and seniority also
make him aware his fighting days
may be numbered.
This Methuselah among marine
flyers has logged about $500 hours
in the air. Stocky and square
jawed, he looks not unlike a bull
dog; in the air he fights like one
His record, released here with un-
derstandable pride by marine head
quarters, includes 6 japanese planes
knocked down when he was with
Gen. Chennault's Flying Tigers and
19 with the marines.
Bagged Five in One Fight.
The first time he led his marine
squadron into action he shot down
five Zeros in a single fight.
Another time, while leading a
flight of six fighter planes over
Bougainville, he ran into so Jap
anese planes. Maj. Boyington's half
dozen took on the so and, in the
ensuing dogfight Pappy knocked
down three by himself-in so sec

AS result of this foray, Maj. Boy
ington returned several days later
with dozen planes, circled mock
ingly over the Kahili airdrome until
20 Japanese planes came up to fight.
Twelve were shot down; Maj. Boy
ington's share again was three.
Once, forced down when his motor
cut out after a strafing mission, Maj.
Boyington landed at an emergency
base and the squadron proceeded
without him. When his plane was
fixed, he enthusiastically made a
beeline for Kahili and, only 40 feet
above the amazed Japanese on the
landing strip, strafed a pair of
bombers in their revetments. Be-
fore finishing the run home, he at
tackled an enemy destroyer and
emptied his guns in a barge filled
with Jap troops.

M'WILLIAMS' SIX POINTS

A fortnight ago Carey McWilams former Commits
soner of immigration and Housing in California and
author of BROTHERS UNDER THE SKIN addressed
large audience at the Roosevelt High School. Mr.. Nc
Williams presented sixpoint program of practical &C.

The editor of The Northwest Enterprise heartily
dorses the six points, follows: 1. public policy
against discrimination based race color, creed
g Protection of the right to vote in Federal elections
without fear intimidation coercion 3. Removal of all
vestiges of racsm from immigration and naturaza
ton laws; A. Enactment of Fair Employment Practice
Act for the protection of civil rights; g. Legislative
sanction for the Fair Employment Practice Committee;
Creation of Federal agency to all citizens, re-
CARELESS of race color to public reath services

aids to responsible citizenship.
There is nothing Utopan about the McWilliams Plan
If adopted by the majority of decent Americans who are
as strongly opposed Hitherto racist practices at home
as they are to the Axis propagation of them through mil
tary aggression abroad the Plan will help to achieve the
long overdue indignation of Negro Americans into nation
al life on a democratic basis well as to outlaw and
abolish anti-Semitism.

FURTHER GRIEVANCE AGAINST
REPUBLICAN STATE ADMINISTRATION
BY PRENTIs l. FRAZIER

AS l have stated in previous
articles and set forth by citation
of various delinqueneies on the
part of the present Republican
state administration, it is i'm
perative that there must be some
alteration on the part of certain
leaders throughout the State of
Washington concerning the op-
of minority groups in
quest of rightful recognition.
1t has been my experience that
the minority groups, of which l
am a member, have had no stand
ing for employment in the state
setup, especially in the clerical
brackets as far as the state al
goes. and especially
in the business and finance de-
partment, headed by Mr. David
Lockwood, chief executive there
of.
Minority groups have made ap-
plication for the employment af-
forded by the above mentioned
department, but to no avail.
From my experience with Mr..
Lockwood, prior to and until his
acceptance of his position under
the present administration, he
had made a favorable impression
upon me, as being above all else

No finer demonstration has
ever been given by the young
