Byrnes Backs Envoy
To Poland in Conflict
Over Control by Reds
Acheson Also Indorses
Lone After Criticism by
Communist President
BY iae Associated Press

Secretary of State Byrnes and
Acting Secretary Acheson threw
their full support behind United
States Ambassador Arthur Bliss
Lane yesterday in what appears
to be bitter undercover struggle
with President Boleslaw Beirut
of the Communist dominated
government of Poland.
Diplomatic authorities here AXE
the view that the whole incident
is simply an event in the greater
conflict over Eastern Europe be-
tween the United States and Russia.
What Mr.. Byrnes and Mr.. Ache
son did was issue an extraordinary
statement declaring that despite a
recent unusual attack on Mr.. Lane
by President Beirut Ambassador
Lane continues to, enjoy the COM
plete confidence" of the American
Government.
The statement was put out here
with the specified approval OF Mr..
Byrnes, who is in Paris attending
the peace conference.
News Dispatch Starts Action.
The immediate cause of the
Byrnes-A -Acheson action is a dis
patch from Warsaw which appeared
in The New York Times of July
20 and quoted President Beirut as
saying in an interview that his gov
ernment had encountered difficulty
in convincing Ambassador Lane OF
its desire for cordial relations" be-
cause Mr. Lane docs not believe
us very much" President Beirut
added that this was "a psychological
problem" with Mr.. Lane.
Such comment is about the next
thing TO declaration by the Polish
President that Mr.. Lane is person
ally unacceptable and the United
States Government ought to recall
him.
Mr.. Lane, who is 50 and a career
diplomat, has been on duty in War
saw approximately year. The
B yrn es-Acheson statement de-
scribed the American officials az
quite surprised" by President
Bierut's comments and called Mr.
Lane IAN experienced diplomat who
has represented this Government in
many parts of the world"
Shows Polish Sympathies.
His reports from Warsaw" the
statement added. have always in
dlcated great sympathy for Poland
and the difficulties with which il
is faced"
Authorities agreed that this was
saying in the language of diplo-
macy that Mr.. Lane is simply car
rying out the policy of the State
Department. That department
when it refers to great sympath
for Poland" makes distinction
between the country and the pres
ent Moscow-supported government
Behind this is the conviction or
the part of officials here that Russia
intends to continue it's domination
Of Poland by whatever means are
necessary and that the United
States faces long uphill struggle
in support of its policy for maxi
mum political freedom for the
Polish people.

Fast, SIoping Road to Be Picked Court Test Indicated
For Soap Box Derby Classic Here For Restaurant Unit

A test case to determine whether
Government Services, Inc, is an in
strumentality of the Federal Gov
ernment or private corporation
was distinct possibility today.
The corporation, a nonprofit or
ganization managed by a board of
high Government officials who
serve without pay, operates Sc res
taurants in Government buildings in
Washington as we'll as certain park
recreational facilities.
The test may arise out of sit
uation in which the District is re-
quired to inspect all restaurants in
the District except the House and
Senate dining rooms and impose a
license fee to cover inspection costs,
but Government Services cafeterias
SO far have not paid up, placing the
District in the position of giving
free inspections it feels financially
unable to make.
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton, under whose supervision the
cafeterias are operated and which
handles the leasing of cafeteria
space to the corporation, takes the
position the eating places are Fed
orally operated and, therefore, not
subject to licensing.
Chester H. Gray, assistant District
corporation counsel, said today that
he plans to sit down with PBA Off
cials and representatives of the
corporation June 13 and attempt to
agree or agree to disagree" on a
solution to the problem
If friendly disagreement" is de-
cided upon, the matter will be taken
to the courts, he added.
