Special To The Democrat)

Hartford, Aug. 29-The Connecti- cut Development Commission has decided to discontinue its branch office in Washington, D. C., effec- tive September Is, Chairman Will lard B. Rogers said today. The &C., tion, he stated, was prompted by re- cent requests of the states fiscal authorities that all departments take steps toward retrenchment.
 The Washington office was open ed April, 1914, MT. Rogers explained, as a means of establishing war time liaison between federal agen- cies and their counterparts in the Connecticut state government, and it proved extremely useful during the war and early reconversion periods.
 In recent months, the chairman said, the work of the office has largely been devoted to contracting members of foreign purchasing mis- sionS and commercial attaches in Washington in the interest of over seas markets for Connecticut-made products, The great majority of the purchasing commissions remaining in the country have now transferred their personnel to New York" he stated, and it is noteworthy that the headquarters of the Department of Commerce's Office of Interna- tional Trade is likewise being moved to New York. Thus, this function of the Washington office has dinin- ished in value"
 The chairman added that the move has been approved by Cover

Poland Holds 40 Americans As Prisoners
 U. 5. Declares
 Embassy Cannot
 Reach Nationals

Washington, Aug. 29-UP)-Pol- and has arrested between 50 and 60 American citizens within the last year and the United States has had only meager success trying to reach them, 1t was learned today.
 MoSt of the arrests were reported based on charges Of membership in Nazi organizations, some of which the Poles say are still operating. The problem was complicated by Poland,s claim that many were Pol lsh. rather than American citizens.
 Informed officials said the Am erican Embassy in Warsaw had been able to communicate with only a handful of the prisoners. They were encouraged, however, by the fact that arrests have been on the down. grade and a few persons already have been released.
 10000 Want to Return
 These quarters revealed that there were some 10000 American citizens in Poland who want to return to this country. They said the State Department was having great diff flculty on the question of their re- patriation, largely because of Pol and's war-caused disorganization and the lack of American facilities.
 Of the 10000, officials said that perhaps 75 percent were native-born Americans who returned or were taken back to Poland during two large movements: CD When Poland became free after World War I and (2) during the depression which be- gan in 1929
 Only about 100 of them have been repatriated since the end of the war.
 Meanwhile, it was learned that the

Reorganization Of Government Due by Nov. 12

Nanking, Aug. 29. (UP)-Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-shek today promised reorganization of the Chinese government by Nov. 12 and called on the Communists to halt their mobilization and evacuate areas which he termed as menace to security"
 Chiang said no "cease fire order could be given until the Commu- nsts demonstrate their sincerity by revoking the call to arms sounded last week by the Kalgan radio.
 The Generalissimos statement issued through Information Min ister Peng Hsueh-pei, said the Kuo- mintang was determined to end China's period of political tutel- age,' and indicated that the con- stltution would be devised He said however, that the political consul tative council would not be re convened as the Communists have requested.
 Heavy fighting continued in ddIlCHufld, ana III central and north China. Reports from Peiping said the U. s. Marines were nc longer guarding coal trains be- tween Tientsin and Chinwangtao
 The Marines reportedly were withdrawn from guard duty along the strategic railway Aug. 20 fol- lowing the derailment of five cars by Communist attackers. One ot the derailed cars was an armored Nationalist troop coach. The heavi- est Communist attack was at Hanku, 15 miles north of Tanku and Tientsin.
 Rail tracks were blown up near the Marine base at ChinWangtao at approximately the same time Some reports said a 20-minute bat tie occurred at Hanku, but that nc

U. s. vii continue to insist that Poland hold free national elections this winter. It will disregard the statement by the Polish Embassy in Washington that U. s. insistence on this point violated Polish sov- ereignty.
 The United States position is that is assumed responsibility for work ing for free Polish elections in the Potsdam and Yalta conferences.
 POtsdam Pact Involved
 The Polish Embassy, however, held that at Potsdam the Big Three merely noted" the pledge of the Polish government to hold free election, but assumed no responsi- bility for it.
 It was learned that American of- hcials would reply to the Polish interpretation only if it were set forth in a note from the Polish Foreign Office rather than in a pub lie statement by an Embassy official here
 This is the section of the Potsdam agreement in question:
 The three powers note that the Polish provisional government in accordance with the decisions of the Crimea Conference has agreed to the holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal sufferage and sec- ret ballot in which all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the right to take part and to put forward candidates, and that repre- sentatives of the Allied press shall enjoy full freedom to report to the world upon developments in Poland before and during the elections"

Marines were involved. Seven freight cars xwere derailed later about four miles from Lutai, far ther down the rail line.
 Nanking observers were surprised at the reported Marine withdrawal. Without Marine guards it was ex- pected that most of the coal trains from Chinwangtao would be halted by Communists and that a serious fuel shortage would be felt in Tientsin and other cities.

it. If illness or bad weather de-

At the start of the strike we
had on hand at all our factories
and branches just 1877 tractors of
all kinds-less than two days
production land 405 ofthese were
not completed. Many of those
on hand had one or more impor-
tant parts missing-principally
radiator cores. Most of the rest
represented the normal daily
''fioat" between the end of the
assembly line and the shipping
platform. Naturally no tractors
were made during the strike.
