On the Record
BY Dorothy THOMPSON

The developments in Poland. with the
entrance OF the Russian armies, have
followed exactly the lines predicted in
TWO OF my recent columns. Following
the opening Of the southern offensive,
the Russians have penetrated into in
disputable Polish territories. They have
not waited to set up government until
warsaw was liberated or instituted
Russian military government on the
model OF the Allied military govern
ments, nor have they set up the Union
of Polish Patriots organized In Moscow.
But they are turning over the admins
tratlon to a government of National
Liberation. purely Polish. and widely
representative Of all political parties.
In the new government, the chairman
and Minister of Foreign Affairs is
Edoard Osuska Morawski, a leader of
the Polish underground and in politics
moderate Socialist. The Minister of
National Defense, Gen. Michal Rola-
Zelinski, served under Gen Kazimerz
Sonkowski, who Is rejected by Russia as
commander in chief because of known
anti-Russian sentiments Rola -Zelinski
however, Is regular Polish nonpolitical
general.
The Minister of Economy. Jan Hajne-
mann. is moderate Socialist; the Min
lister of Information, Dr. Stephan Jen-
drizchowski, also Socialist. Is a deeply
loved citizen Cultural affairs are in the
hands of Wincenty Rzynowski, conser-
vative from the PilsudSki camp, and war
supplies are in the hands of another
conservative, DR.. Emil Sommerfeld
The only two Communists are Wanda
Wasilewska vice chairman and presi-
dent of the Union of Polish Patriots,
and the Minister of Education, Stani-
Slaw Przesecki
Marshal Stain has given instructions
to the Polish Communists to refrain
from all civil disturbances, to collaborate
