Moscow Poles Attack
On Bor Poses Grave
Problem for Allies
Move Viewed as Rebuff
To U. S, and Britoin for
Support Of London Group
By the Associated Press.

os lAc AoeoCihtGu EIceS.
LONDON, Oct. Hopes Of an
early settlement of the Polish
controversy faded today in the
wake of a bitter new attack on
Premier Stanislaw -Mikolaj jczyk' S
exile government in London by
the rival Soviet-sponsored Ma
tional Committee of Liberation
in Moscow.
The attack, delivered by President
Osubka Morawski of the National
Committee at Moscow press cons
ference, posed grave new diplomatic
problems for both Britain and the
United States, which are under
stood here to have assured Mikel-
ajczyk of their support.
Naming Of Bor Assailed.
Morawski bitterly denounced the
exile government for its action in
naming Gen. Tadeusz Komorowski
as commander in chief of Polish
forces to succeed Gen. Kazimierz
Sosnkowski, whom Mikolaj ajczyk's gov
ernment had dismissed in bid for
the friendship of the Moscow COM
mittee. Komorowski, better known
as Gen. Bor, has acted as leader of
the Polish Patriots battling the
Germans in Warsaw
Characterizing the action of the
London government as "crazy," +"
MorawsN expressed the determina-
ton of his committee to bring to
criminal trial those in the exile re-
gime whom it regards as RESPONSE
BILE for the untimely Warsaw up
rising. A bulletin from Komorow-
skis headquarters last night de-
scribed the position of the Ps...riot
forces in Warsaw as critical.
The blast left London Poles frank
ly stunned and raised diplomatic
issues that may be far-reaching.
The Moscow Liberation Commit
tee has been regarded here as Gre
alton of Russia ana whose words
and actions reflect the views of the
Kremlin. Thus Morawski's state
ment was generally deemed rebuff
not only to the London Poles but
also to Prime Minister Churchill and
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden,
who are believed to have been
prime movers in urging Mikola jczyk
to sacrifice Sosnkowski in the inter-
eSts of unity.
MoraWski indicated that Mikol-
ajczyk and three or four associates
were still acceptable to the Liberia
ton Committee, bit gave no hint
that the committee would make any
compromises to win them over.
He said the committee favors Its
own defense chief, Col. Gen. Mihail
Rola- a-Zymierski, for the post of Pol
tSh commander In chief

The attack, ending a stalemate
of nearly two weeks, in which Ger

hundreds OF tons of explosives on

About 1000 planes took part in the
