Exiled Polish Leader
Cites Control OF Armv

| LONDON, Feb. 15.-R-Tomasz
Arciszewski, premier of the exil
ed Polish Government in London,
declared today that Poland will
never surrender to slavery and
new partition done her by the
Allies" and expressed indignation
at the suggestion that his admin
istration was without power to act.
The 67-year-old Prime Minister
closed a 45-minute press CONVEX
ence blast against Russia when a
reporter asked: Does this gov
eminent in London propose to do
anything except talk?"
Arciszewski' eyes blazed and
his voice was raised as he shot
back:
''Of course you may think these
expressions of opinion by this gov
eminent are superfluous, but I'M
der the orders of this government
are important forces fighting on
land, sea and in the air-and that
is more than talking.''
Then he rose and walked out
uttering words in Polish. After the
confusion a spokesman translated:
THE Prime Minister says we
want the friendship of Russia and
good relations with Russia, that

Wallace Barely Survives
First House Floor Test

The Senate bill is intended to
rip the multi billion dollar Recon.
struction Finance Corporation out
of the Commerce Department, be-
fore the Senate votes on confirma-
ton of Wallace as Commerce Sec
rotary.
A change of six votes in the
first House test would have thrown
the Government future of the
former Vice President into confu.
sion.
The test came on adoption of
the House rule by which the
George bill was presented on the
floor. If the rule had been reject
ed the bill would have gone back
to committee, and probably into
a pigeon hole. This was calculated
by the opposition to bring about
the outright rejection of Wallace
for the Presidents cabinet, by
forcing the Senate to vote on him
not only as Commerce Secretary
but as head of the RFC.
It. is conceded that Wallace
would have little chance of con

WASHINGTON. Feb. Is R -
Legislation enabling Henry A.
Wallace to become Secretary of
a cut-down Commerce Depart
ment barely survived today its
first test on the House floor.
BY a vote of 202 to 1872, the
Democratic leadership tn r n e d
back solid Republican front,
joined by some Southern Demo-
Gratis, that sought to sweep the
Senate-passed George bill off the
House floor.
The Wallace legislation, still was
in grave dam Ger, however, for to-
morrow the powerful coalition will
seek in a final showdown vote to
shelve it. by sending it back to
the Banking Commute for further
consideration.
Republicans and anti-Adminis-
tration Democrats worked frantic
ally to pull more Southern Demo-
Gratis into their ranks. Both sides
concentrated on getting their alb
sent members in town in time for
the vote tomorrow. There were II
Republicans and % Democrats alb
sent when the roll was called to-
day.
