Polish Peasant | eader
Charges Secret Police
with Gestapo Tactics
~ The As,oeiated Rrsss

WARSAW, Dec. 25.-Vice Pre-
mier Stanislaw Mikolaj jczyk, leader
of the Polish Peasant Party (PSL)
declared today that Poland's secret
police had embarked on CAM
paign of intimidation Of PSI can
didates in Gestapo style to force
them to withdraw their names from
parliamentary election lists.
The vice premier charged in q
news conference that many NOM
inees were beaten and immersed
In bitterly cold water, then I'M
prisoned in damp cellars for days.
He said they were released only on
agreeing to withdraw as candidates.
Most Of this, he said, occurred IN
the Silesian and Pomeranian prov
inces.
Mr.. Mikolajczyk told correspond
ents that at Turek, near Lodz, 200
PSI members had been seized by
the secret police, stripped OF their
clothing and confined three days
in a windowless building and threat
ened with detention throughout the
holidays. They were released on
giving up their PSI membership,
he added.
Incident Is Cited.
The vice premier said q candi-
date named Troka was arrested at
Starograd and was forced to keep
his legs in cold water for three
days. He became seriously Ill and
Withdrew his candidacy, he said.
The Polish leader said that, Of q
total OF 854 PSI Parliamentary
candidates, rs were now imprisoned
and 40 names had been stricken of
the lists by election commissioners.
He said that in Western Poland
peasants were being threatened by
security police with dispossession
from their farms and homes II they
did not quit the PSI and vote for
the government bloc.
Mikola jczyk said that in one dis
trict near Radon all but eight names
out OF 1000 PSI voters have been
stricken of, apparently on charges
that they were connected with un-
derground bands. He said there
was no basis for such action.
Accusations Denied.
The government has generally
been denying Mr.. Mikolajczyk q
accusations, contending that under
ground bands are beating and kill
ing election officials.
The Vice Premier estimated that
80, 600 PSI members have been ar
rested. He said he could not say
how many were still in prison, or
had been released or rearrested.
Government spokesmen say PSI
members are only being arrested
when the are suspected Of crimes
or of being connected with under
ground bands.

Letters To The
Editor

Lear DIT.
Greetings From the Building
and Construction Trades.
You will have observed that
he Unions do not air their gripes
or defense very much in the
press. We prefer to let our deeds
speak for themselves. Our at
tituae, along this line has not
changed. There are times, how
ever, when the general public
.eed5 to be taken into our con-
fidence. Our success is mutual.
Our goal is the same. We need
70 work in harmony and not at
cross purposes. Hence this no.
lice.
Organized labor has accom-
plished wonders within the last
few years. 1t has come to be re-
cognizcd as a world force for the
uplift of the masses. II has spon-
sored many of the things that
today we recognize as indispen-
sable. The public schools, the
child labor laws, the protection
of women workers. from Sweat
Shops" long hours and hazards,
and thousands of things that are
today recognized as uplifting.
Within your own territory, Or
gained Labor has lifted the STAN
dards to the highest that Pasca-
goula and vicinity has ever
knows. There is not a business,
trade, vocation OF. profession that
has not benefited from this high
standard.
These things did not just hap
pen. 1t has cost us thousands of
hours OF thinking, planning and
thousands of dollars to bring this
miracle to pass. We do not re-
greet the time, money and effort.
We gladly share the benefits with
all.
We cannot sit supinely by and
see our people Of this territory
robbed Of their heritage, purchas-
cd at such a cost. We have the
record of what happened after
world war No. /. The first step
toward the depression that bank
rupted millions was to break
down the wage scale and work
ing conditions that had been built
up. The rest followed in rapid
routine ordhr. What happened
then must not happen again.
Therefore: To prevent a repeti-
ton of that catastrophe the
building and construction trades
of Pascagoula and vicinity. serve
this friendly notice to those who
are planning to build or repair.
OUR MEN WILL NOT WORK
ON ANY BUILDING, either in
construction or repairs, that Is
not strictly union all the way
from foundation to finish. Every
man doing any work of any craft
must be a union man.
This is for the protection of
you and every n else. 1t is to
the hurt of no one.
If the wage scale and working
conditions are ever broken down
it will be scab labor. This will
in turn hurt every business. trade,
vocation and profession and every
man, woman and child in our
trade territory. Won't you coop
crate by employing only union
men on your job?
We deal openly and fairly. Call
the office of any craft for the
work you hove to do. DON'T
pick up any Tom. Dick and Harry
you find on the street because
you can get him cheap. To do
that is to be a party to lowering
your own living standards.
Yours for a high standard,
Building and C~onstruc-
ton Trades.

 Strachey said that both bread and flour would 60 on the ration list, but that simultaneously there would be a slight increase in the meat ration.
 T scarcely need to emphasize to the House that the government has only reached thir decision" Stra- chey said, because they are con- vinced that to fail to ration bread and flour at the present time would be to take an unjustiflable risk with the basic food supply of the Brit ish people"
 The basic ration for adults will be nine ounces of bread Q day. Male manual workers will receive IS ounces and expectant mothers
