Kraker Reach Fiancee

The French Embassy promised
yesterday that it would do every
thing possible to obtain a French
visa for Frank j. Kraker. who won
the Silver Star fighting in France,
and hurry him back to his Polish
sweetheart.
The former sergeant with Gen.
Patton's Sd Army, who came here
from Cleveland. attempted to get
a visa only to be told he would have
to apply in Chicago through the
consul for his home territory.
y But when a reporter told Embassy
officials that the bashful, blond g.
footer was wounded twice fighting
in France, they agreed that he
could make application here and
said his request could be cabled to
the authorities in Paris at his ex-
pense.
Mr.. Kraker has spent two days in
Washington seeing officials of the
State Department and foreign en-
bassies in his effort to get back to
Cecylia Lanska, who spent four
years as German slave. She now is
in Germany, go miles from the
French border.
He cannot get a military permit
to enter Germany here, but he is
sure he can reach her II he can only
get to France. An Embassy coun-
selor told him he could fill out his
visa application tomorrow.
