Arthur Bliss Lane, American Ambas-
sador to Poland, who has waited pa
tiently in Washington for eight months,
is finally packing his bags preparatory
to going to Warsaw to take over his
duties.
Mr.. Lane Is one of the outstanding
American diplomats who played vital
role IN 194l when he represented this
country in Belgrade. Under instructions
from the Government he exercised i'm
portant moral influence to bring about
the coup d'etat which put an end to
the pro-NaZi regime OF Prince Regent
Paul The under-age King Peter was
put on the throne and Yugoslayia went
to war within few days on the side OF
the Allies.
Last fall Mr.. Lane was appointed Am
bassador TO Poland, but it was decided
that he should delay his departure for
London, seat of the official Polish gov
eminent, for political reasons. His ap-
pointment was necessary to prove that
the American Government did not ig-
more the Polish government in exile. At
the same time the presentation of his
credentials to the government in exile
might have created a delicate situation

decided to do away with the London
regime and replace it with another
which was waiting in Moscow for the
liberation of Poland by the Red Armies.
Now that the Yalta agreement re-
garding the provisional government in
Poland has been put into effect MIR.
Lane will proceed within the next few
days to his post to present his creden-
tialS to the new government which is
expected to be officially recognized
shortly by the American Government.
The Polish question has been settled,
as far as this Government is concerned,
by the addition to the Lublin Commit
tee of three cabinet officers from the
Poles in London and four others from
Poland itself.
But political observers wonder whether
this solution-which Is the result of an
agreement of the Big Three-will bring
about stable conditions in Poland.
How the new government has been
received by the Polish people is, for the
time being, a matter of conjecture since
no neutral foreign correspondents are
permitted in the country. The shouts
OF the Polish crowd that I'VE want our
army back" when Deputy Premier
MikolajcZyk arrived in Warsaw are, how
ever, indicative that the population does
not want to be ruled by foreign

 The curfew order instructed Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manpower Commission to en- force the request by imposing the penalties. McNutt had nothing to say about La Guardia, evidently waiting for instructions from the White House.
 Meantime many of those con- cerned were listening for reaction from men in the fighting lines. They and their newspapers have been giving Bronx cheer to mayors and other civilians who beefed about going to bed at mid- night.
 Byrnes may have sensed that trouble was coming. It is under stood that his week end order per- hitting restaurants to remain open far beyond midnight to feed war workers was expected to east cur few unrest. War workers and their mayors had complained that the swing shifters were unable to get their customary restaurant meals.

 Units of the 90th infantry divi- sion, meanwhile, raced into Bin- gen late yesterday and mopped ur isolated German rear guards in the streets of the historic river town af- ter short, sharp fight.
 Brey Rhens and Boppard, between the two cities, also were captured giving the Americans control of an- other 29-mile stretch of the Rhine's west bank from CoblenZ to Bingen.
 Eight miles south of Bingen, the Fourth Armored Divisions rough riding tank crews captured bad Kreusnach, crossed the Nahe Ri- yer and rolled eastward at Break neck speed in 8 bid to cut one of the enemy'S main escape routes on the Rhine elbow between Mainz and Mannheim-Lugwigshafen.
 Sprendlingen Captured
 One Fourth Armored task force captured Sprendlingen, five miles east of Bad KreuZnach and pushed on to a point less than IA miles south vest of MainZ.
 The Fourth's western wing also captured Soberheim, 10 miles south west of Bad Kreuznach, and ap- parently forced crossing of The Nahe River in that area.
 So complete was the German confusion in the path of the rol- ling Fourth that many Nazi units were ambuShed and cut to pieces by Patton's outriders before they realized the Americans were with in striking distance.
 Two other armored divisions of the Third Army-the 1lth and Tenth were slashing recklessly through the German lines west and southwest of the Fourth Division. They drove deep wedges in the enemy's rear guard defenses time after time and then circled back to annihilate pocketed Nazi units. The 11th armored hammered out gains running to B miles in the past "A hours, converging in two columns Oh the big German com- munications center of Kirn, on the north bank of the Nahe 1-2 miles west of Sobernheim.
 One column captured Wickerrod, five miles northwest of Kirn, while the second swung around to with in a mile west of the town in the Bergen area last night.

 Another contingent of Liberators at the same time spread 337 tons through the Japanese defenses at Baguio, former Philippines summer capital in northern Luzon where American troops were steadily com pressing the enemy forces.

 In another shore-to-shore amphi- bious operation, the 158th Regi.. mental combat team swept around the Calumpan Peninsula in south western Luzon, landed unopposed al. Tlaga and joined up with other U. s. troops at Mabini.
 The Japanese attempted several counter attacks on the new Amer ican positions at Mabini, near the west coast of Balayan Bay, but all were repulsed.
 The Sixth and 43rd Divisions maintained steady pressure in the drive east of Manila and pushed wedges into the secondary defenses of the Japanese Shibu line in the upper Bosoboso river valley.
 The advance carried five miles east of Antipolo and was rapidly enveloping the enemy's entire south ern flank in the Marakina Hills. Units of the 43rd Division, probing near Tanay on the northeast shore of Laguna Bay, encountered the first Japanese Cavalry seen on Lu- Zon. The mounted enemy troops fled into the mountains after some cas- ualties with American armored cars in pursuit.
 North of Manila, the 18th Divl- sion reached within three miles ot Balete Pass, while the 32nd Divi- sion moved within similar dis tance north of the Pass, one of the important routes leading into the Cagayan Valley.
 Enemy Counter Attacks
 Front reports said that bitter fighting had developed on the northern perimeter of the Zambo- anga beachhead on Mindanao. The Japanese were making a firm stano in the hills north of Pasananca against American infantrymen and medium tanks. The enemy also was

 Huge fires were kindled in Ma goya, 1855 miles west of Tokyo, by 2,500 tons or more of incendiaries dropped by the record fleet of Su- perfortresses yesterday. One Tokyo broadcast said the fires finally were brought under control after five and a half hours, but another indi- cated they still may not have been controlled.
 The B-29s were out to complete the destruction begun last Monday, when two square miles-285 city blocks-were burned out in sim liar raid. It was the fifth major fire raid on Japan in 10 days.
 Admiral Chester w. NimitZ'S Pa cific fleet headquarters were silent both on the report that the carrier planes were attacking southern Ja- pan for 8 second day and the claim that the task force had been dam aged.
 Headquarters confirmed, however, that a strong force" of carrier planes, presumably from Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's famed task force 58, had attacked enemy aircraft and installations on Kyushu yesterday for the first time.
 Specific targets on Kyushu were not Hcfod Tie Y1onct irIoOnrtov,f rif1y the steel center of Yawata, lies at the northern end of the island, 500 miles southwest of Tokyo.

Matsuyama, on Shikoku, and Wakayama prefecture in southwest Honshu, also were bomber, Tokyo said
 The enemy estimated the number of carrier planes participating at l,400 and said during Sunday morning alone, 29 of the raiders had been shot down and 82 dam aged.
 Early reports of the Superfort- ress attack on Nagoya, Japan's third largest city and source of nearly half her airplanes and air. planes and aircraft engines, indicat- ed that the big bombers caused far more destruction than in the raid last week.

 Other flyers also reported that the fires spread rapidly through the city of 1,250,O0O persons. The target area of five square miles included the central commercial district and municipal government buildings. Modern fire resistant buildings in the target area were crowded on all sides by congested blocks of highly y-inflammable dwellings.

consolidating the Third Army's grip on the northern Third of the Saar. Field dispatches said another un- identified armored division was rolling southward between the Tenth and 11th Armored spear heads. while at least ten more tank batalions were operating with the supporting infantry giving Patton the equivalent of at least six armored divisions for the of- fensive.
 Merzig Taken
 On the southwestern flank of the Third Army line, Patton's 18th h. fantry Division chopped steadily through the Siegfried Line defenses IA to 16 miles east of Merzig. The latter town, formerly an anchor of the west wall in that area, was taken by the 65th Infantry Division whose doughboys pushed across the Saar river and captured Dillingen, seven miles south. At Dillingen, the Third Army was 13 miles northwest of Saarbrucken and barely nine miles from 8 juncturs with Seventh Army troops on the south bank ot the Saar at Wehrden.
 An estimated $500 prisoners were captured by the Third Army yester- day and the supporting 18th Tacti- cal Air Force reported that its f1ghter-bombers destroyed 635 Ger man motor vehicles and GA tanks and armored cars in an all-day sweep of the Saar highways. Only slight progress was reported in the Saarbruecken area, but the Seventh Army captured more than a score of towns on their 50-mile front stretching eastward to the Rhine. The key enemy centers of zWeibruecken, Pirmasens and Wis sembough, IS, 27 and AZ miles east and southeast of Saarbruecken, all were menaced closely by the Seventh Army advance.
 Strong infantry columns deep in- side the Siegfried Line were within about three miles of ZWeibruecken and Pirmasens early today and units of the 14th armored Division broke into the eastern outskirts of WisSem- bourg.
 At the eastern end of the Seventh Army front, force of French colo nials dashed nine miles northWard along the west bank of the Rhine to enter Lauterbourg.
 The Germans were reported in full retreat all along the southern edge of the Saar in a belated attempt to escape the envelopment threat raised by Patton's fast-rolling tani,S in the north and the grinding advance Of U. s. Seventh ard French l4rst arm- ies in the south.
 Field reports said the Nazis were covering their withdrawal behind a screen of shellfire and road blocks, but it was becoming questionable whether they had started soon enough to extricate the bulk of their divisions from the pocket. There were no new developments overnight on the American Ninth Army along the west bank of the Rhine opposite the Ruhr valley, but British Second Army forces farther north were reported edging slowly northward from Nijmegen in a maneuver apparently designed to clear their left flank for drive across the river.
 A picked force of British fighter bombers struck a smashing blow at the German Armys central or ganization in the north yesterday, wrecking the headquarters of Field Marshal Johannes Blaskowitz ana Major General Friederich Christian sen in the zutphen area Of north ern Holland.
