THE circumstances of the arrest, ac-
L cording to Polish sources were as
follows:
A Col. Pimenov Of the NkND (Soviet
political police) got in touch with the
Poles, who were still successfully conceal
ing themselves. through Intermediates,
and pledged his word Of honor" for their
personal security. He invited them to
discuss the formation of a new Polish
government with the Soviet authorities
He also promisedf that an airplane
would be provided to take all or some of
them to London in order to report the
results of their discussions TO the Polish
government there
Apparently after consultation with the
Polish government in London, which asked
for and received the advice of the British
government, the Poles accepted the offer.
1T PROVED TO BE A TRAP THEY
BEING HELD IN MOSCOW FOR TRIAL.
Stain, in letter to a newspaper cor
respondent, denied that the arrested
Poles were invited for negotiations with
the Soviet authorities" However. this is
a somewhat vague form of expression.
and the specific Polish allegation about
Col. Pimenov has never been denied in
Soviet circles.
\ ANNOUNCEMENT Of the arrest of the
"A Poles, which took place toward the
end of March, in response to persistent
questioning of Molotov by Stettinius and
Eden, fell like bombshell in the San
Francisco Conference.
Foreign Secretary Eden described
them as "a group of prominent democra-
tic leaders" and said Most of them were
just the type of men who should be con-
suited about the new government in
Poland"
The consultations for the formation Of
this new government, which had been
proceeding between representatives of the
Soviet, American and British govern
ments, as prescribed by the Yalta agree
ment, were broken off pending the re-
ceipt of the names of the arrested Poles
and the reasons for their arrest
So far as is known. the only Soviet
response to this request was Stalin's COM
munication to newspaper correspondent,
which incidentally, gave neither the names
nor full account of the reasons for the
arrests.

Furthermore, he is we'll fitted for
his new complete headship because
he is builder. His vision and drive
hastened the amazing growth of the
university through the last decade.
He will be sound man on top for the

inevitably will follow the end of the

IF THE board members are as
happy in their choice of school
superintendent as they were in NAM

ing good job.
Certain newspaper critics have
suggested with an air of profound
infallibility, that the board should
seek elsewhere on this quest. They

The Detroit Times has little pa
tience with such suggestions.

Certainlyln our vast public school
system there must be a few men
capable of running the department

In fairness to these persons and
to department morale generally, the
board, we feel, should pick from

Unless they really try to do so,
they will be admitting by implication
a sorry lack Of capacity in board of

OUR Board of Education, following
~ the untimely death of School
Supt. Warren E. Bow, began good
job by separating the school superin
tendency from the presidency of
Wayne University
It long had been patent to those
interested in our educational setup
that being superintendent of Detroit
schools and running Wayne Univer-
sity was too big a task for any one
man. The burden of attempting it
doubtless contributed to Dr. Bows
death.
Board of Education members
acted wisely in divorcing the two
functions and especially in choosing
as president of Wayne, David D.
Henry, who as executive vice presi-
dent had been the actual head Of the
university.
DR.. Henry's qualifications are
valid and varied. Despite his relative
youth-hes around 40-he boasts
good background as practical edu
Gator.

integrated with the social security
law.
While many of the proposals in
the new Wagner bill need to be
critically examined, THERE is
ONE FEATURE THAT is CON.
STRUCTIVE AND DEFINITELY
IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST.
THIS is Part F, Section 8 in the
bill, which would extend old age
benefit -coVerage to 15,000,00 addi-
tional persons. This would properly
extend coverage to presently exempt
groups, such as domestic and farm
workers, seamen and employees of
nonprofit making organizations.
This type of adjustment of the
law is in line with recommendations
made back in 1887 by the nonpar-
tisan social security commission
sponsored by the Hearst newspapers.
In the interim, Congress has already
followed the recommendation of the
commission to include some of the
exempt groups and this current
proposal would conclude the imple
mentation of the advice given eight
years ago.
Since the cost of social security
is borne by every self supporting
person in the tax element in the
goods and services he buys, it seems
equitable to let each producer partic-
ipate in THE BENEFITS as well
as in THE COST.
The inclusion of dditiona l
groups on basis which will enable
them and their employers to meet
the cost with taxes need cause no
general revision of the social security
tax rate.
As FOR the cost-inereasing fea.
~ lures Of the Wagner proposal,
they are put forward at most mop
perfume time.
For they run counter to the pre-
dominant need after VI of radically
reducing the cost of government, and
thus relieving the citizen of back
breaking tax burden.
Some of the Wagner proposals
should be rejected outright, and any
of the others, which may be deemed
to have possible long term merit,
should be reserved for consideration
in later years after our major and
critical fiscal problems have been
adjusted.
In the meantime, the extension of
social security benefits to the ex-
cluded and exempt groups should
forthwith be adopted on a self
sustaining basis NOT CALCU-
LATED TO RAISE THE PER
CAPITA COST OF SOCIAL
SECURITY.

THE whole Yalta formula of re-
l. organizing the Polish government on
a broader democratic basis and proceed
ing to free unfettered elections" is at
stake. Such trial would be almost
literally packed with political dynamite.
The men involved are for the most
part, leading figures in the Polish under
ground movement which fought the Nazis
with amazing courage and resourcefulness
during the period when Poland was under
enemy occupation.
Most prominent among them are the
vice premier, Jan Jankowski; the last
commander of the disbanded Polish home
army, Gen. Leopold Okulicki. and
we'll known Polish Socialist, Kazimierez
Puzak, chairman of the Council of
National Unity.
Among the others are leading figures
in various Polish political parties. trade
unions and youth organizations
The charges against the Poles, as
stated by the Moscow radio and press,
are that they caused the death of about
100 Red army officers and soldiers through
guerilla activity and hat they main
tanned radio communication with London,
in contravention Of Soviet military regu-
latons calling for the surrender of radios.
These charges have been vigorously

Behind such trial would lie the

on the other, can be maintained on a

Security

THE omnibus bill for revision and
Il extension of the Social Security
Act, introduced by Senator Wagner
and others, is colored by the illusion
that material wellbeing stems from
congressional ukases, rather than
from the productivity of the people
themselves.
The proposal to extend the de
sign and pattern of social security to
an extent that will Immediately re
quire at least quadrupling the tax
rate for this category on both EN-
ployers and employees Is most TIN
timely when fiscal students, as the
end of the war is envisaged, contem-
plate ways and means of reducing,
instead of increasing, the already
ONEROUS overall burden on tax
payers,
But even the proposal for quad
ruping the tax rate would be made
quate for legislating into existence
all the boondoggling which Mr.. Wag
ner and his confreres have vlsuallzed.
THE SENATOR FROM NEW
Il YORK WAS CANDID
ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT IN
ADDITION THERE $ULD BE
FURTHER CHARGES@ON THE
GENERAL TAXPAYER.
In all of these contemplated
changes, it is the task of statesman
ship to weigh the glowing prospectus
against the cost.
Unless expenditures for one set
of activities are kept in balance with
total income and needs, deranged
economy and economic distress be-
come inevitable.
Even if you go broke for noble
objectives, the process is neverthe-
less unpleasant.
Apart from cost, the proposal to
nationalize unemployment benefits,
which is now in the hands of state
government, is Objectionable.
In addition, the suggestion to IN.
crease the paym ents for MOI
WORKING should be rejected.
OUCH social legislation, unless it
- keeps unemployment benefits
low and of short duration, tends to
create what may be called statutory,
or government-induced, unemploy-
ment.
AS part of the prevailing mania
to the effect that government can
do everything better than citizens,
the Wagner proposal would tend to
blanket out the constructive and
socially beneficent trend in many
parts of the country toward volun-
tary disqualification, or blue cross,
plans.
AS for the proposals for loans and
grants for health facilities, this pre-
gram should be tied up with the
