Soviet Army Gives
Back Polish Land
AP NewSfeatures

WARSAW, Poland-Soviet troops
who once farmed as much as s.
600, 600 acres-approximately one
fourth of POland's total arabic
lands-are continuing to turn back
to the Poles large properties and
now occupy only IA fraction of
former holdings.
The ministry of food has con-
tended that Soviet occupancy of
farmlands has been an economic
advantage" pointing out that the
Soviets have paid in crops for
the lands used and that Poles
previously lacked sufficient ma
chinery and horses to farm the
lands themselves. The Russians
returned vast farmlands in 1915
and 1916.
The recent disclosure by the
seml-official newspaper RZecZpOs-
polita. and the journal Economic
Daily that the SOviets still occupied
approximately 100000 acres of lands
in Western POmerania was prompt
ly followed by the announcement
that the SOviets had just turned
back to Poles about 415,000 acres.
The newspaper GaZeta LudOwa.
organ of former Vice-Premier
Stanislaw MilOlajczyk, head of the
Polish Peasant party, said an ad-
ditional 205,000 acres would be
returned by the Soviets to Polish
administration before the end OF
this year.
The SOviets also reported several
months ago by Polish newspapers
as occupying over 100000 acres
of farmlands in Lower Silesia. Nc
official information is available as
to how much of that acreage has
been given over to the Poles.
Lands returned in Western Pom
erania include $500 small -. farm.
and an unspecified number of large
farms. The GaZeta LudOwa sait
the total lands returned this yea
would provide space for 200,00'
Polish farmers.

BOARD TO STUDY
Continued From Page One)

Yesterdays commission meeting
| Superintendent Roland, in response
to a question from Commissioner
George w. Task, said there will
be about 400 less children in coun-
ty schools during the coming II
months than in the last fiscal
year.
Trask remarked that under that
condition it would be difficult
for the commissioners to allow
any budget increase.
The proposed budget read that
if the S26, 400 transfer is granted,
teachers and other employees will
receive the same supplement they
were paid from 1912 to 1916. IT the
transfer is not approved, the pay
would revert to that of 1S41-42..
Three Increases
Three separate increases were
recorded in the new budget. In the
maintenance of plant there was
an increase of from $40, 900 in the
last fiscal year to sS1, $50 in the
new one.
That was accounted for, accord
ing to Roland, by higher wages,
higher cost of materials and more
buildings"
The superintendent declared that
fixed charges have increased be
cause more insurance is due this
year ard the recent legislature
raised the retirement payments
Is per cent" That explained, de-
clared Roland, an increase sought
of from $40, 500 last year to $12, 500
this year under the item of fixed
charges listed in the budget.
The third increase was from $3,-
900 during the past year to 1000
for the ensuing months in capital
outlay. The superintendent said
that approximately that amount
will be used although an itemized
list calls for ASA 01 expenditure.
The S11 900 amount was what was
used in the last few years.
In capital outlay the largest
item listed is 1886 for new roofs.
Also listed was 81, 100 on school
buses, 5000 on sidewalks IS, $40
of dirt fills and So, 900 on school
trucks. The remainder was on
miscellaneous items.
In the principal items in the new
budget other amounts sought were
the same as last year. General
control totaled $1,000; Institutional
service came to $4,000: operation
of plants to SIG, 900, auxiliary agen-
cies to S22, 500.
The superintendent, reporting
from a general standpoint, said
there is 81, 500 listed in the build
ing fund of which the total already
has been obligated for.
In summary, the superintendent
noted that other than the request
Of the transfer of the s26, 400 from
the supplementary to the regular
budget, the cost of school in l947-
48 would be the same as in the last
II months and $50, 900 less than in
the 1886 fiscal year.

days session but said later that
he would make a statement at
the coming meeting.
Earlier the commissions politl-
cal committee considered an in
formal paper Of the function of an
international agency in relation
to location and mining of ores.
Gen. A. C. L. McNaughton, Can
ada, chairman of the small sub
committee which drafted the pa.
per. said that all nations should
contribute source materials in
proportion to their useable re-
serves and that no nation should
be able to hoard its reserves
under ground in order to gain ad-
vantage over those countries U.s.
ing their reserves.
He said the paper proposed that
the agency should be given com.
plete authority on the disposition
Of material from the time it is
removed from the ground. This
would mean that no nation or IN
dividual may possess or dispose
CT source material, without the
knowledge Of the agency, after
it has been mined.
