Miko|ajcYk, Romer
May Find Places in
New Polish Setup
BY the Associated Press,

MOSCOW, Aug. 1.-Premier STAN
islaw Mikolajczyk and Foreign Min
lister Tadeusz Romer of the Polish
government-in-exile, who have ar
rived in Moscow from London for
talks with Soviet officials, may find
some place In a new Polish setup, it
was believed today.
Observers saw in their trip from
London encouraging signs concern
ing the entire Russian-Poli ques-
ton. On their arrival yesterday the
Poles conferred with United States
Ambassador w. Averen Hartman
and British Ambassador Sir Archi-
bald Clark Kerr.
Romer was the last Polish Am
bassador to the Soviet Union and
when relations were suspended it
was known that the Russians had
nothing against him personally
The Russians never have expressed
themselves on Mikolajczyk.
In LONDON there was speculation
that Mikolajczyk may form a coali-
ton with the Soviet-supported Pol
ish Committee of National Liberia
ton and move directly to Poland to
administer liberated territory.
Such a strategy might mean a de-
cisive break with Gen. Kazimierz
Sosnkowski, the commander in :
chief of exiled Polish govern
ment forces. Sosnkowski, recently
dropped as president-designate in
an effort to mollify the Russians, is
regarded as a spokesman for the
landed classes of Poland. Mikolaj-
czyk is understood to have fallen in
with a postwar plan for distribu-
ton of large estates.
The Mikolajczyk' government is
recognized by the United States and

Smoking Ban Sought
On Munition Ships
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-Fed-
eral Attorney Gerald A. Gleeson
announced In court yesterday he
would ask the War Shipping Ad-
ministration to ban smoking on
ammunition ships by Navy gun crew
members and merchant crewmen.
Federal Judge George A. Welsh
urged Mr.. Gleeson to point out to
Government shipping authorities
'the great danger that exists" in
allowing smoking at mess and in
crew quarters.
Mr. GleeSon was prosecuting the
case Of Philadelphia dock worker
charged with smoking aboard an
ammunition ship when a coast
guardsman who arrested the worker
testified he had been found smok-
ing in . part of the ship where only
crew members are permitted to
smoke.
Abraham L. Walker, 48, the de-
fendant, who had pleaded guilty to
the charge, was then sentenced by
Judge Welsh to serve one day in
Jail. This meant his release soon
after sentence had been imposed.
Judge welsh said, II had intended
to send this man to prison for three
months. I had in mind the terrible
catastrophe on the West Coast a
short time ago" He then said Fed
eral shipping authorities were in
consistent In this smoking rule and
this man was not smoking in a
prohibited area because members
may smoke there"
Mr.. Gleeson said, IT think it's
criminal to allow any one TO smoke
on an ammunition ship. You can't
make members Of . Navy gun crew
or merchant seamen be so careful
that they will not cause any harm
through smoking. I'm going to ask
the War Shipping Administration to
change that rule"

Anfi-HitIer Factions
Seem 10 Be Crushed, ,
Official Reports Say
Nv the Associated Press,

~ tAe hocSSidtCo ASoos
First reports reaching oficial
Washington from inside Germany
today disclosed that the Nazis ap-
pear to have crushed definitely the
factions involved in the bomb plot
against Hitler.
The reports, which are official as
distinguished from the German
radio and neutral capital gossip, in
dicate that for the moment, at least,
Hitler has firm control.
The best description Of the popu-
lar German reaction to the bomb
ing attempt was apathy, the infor-
nation says. So far as is known
here, there was no rioting in Ger
many following announcement of
the attack on Hitler, nor were there
any demonstrations Of rejoicing at
his escape.
1t is confirmed that the Nazis took
speedy and far-reaching control
measures Immediately after the bomb
attempt, especially in Berlin.
Further, there appears to be every
reason to believe that the attempt
on Hitler's life was in earnest, and
not q put-up job as some observers
originally thought.
At the same time, however, 1t
would appear that Heinrich Himmler
knew something was in the air.
Himmler evidently took advantage
Of the futile attempt on Hitler's life
to hquidate q number of persons of
whom he was suspicious, but who
may not actually have been involved
In the plot, the reports indicate.
The Soviet Embassy Bulletin, in
an article apparently based on
similar information, said today sit
is not mutinous generals that will
bring Hitler Germany to her knees,
but we and our Allies. We don't
rely on any Germans - whether
stupid or clever, whether purblind
or awakened. We rely on tanks and
shells and grenades."
The article, by Ilya Ehrenburg,
one of Russia's most prominent
journalists, pointed out that Ger
mans can't expect to evade the
consequences Of aggression by sim
ply kicking out Hitler.
