WARSAW, Jan. 29.-A govern
ment spokesman said yesterday that
Poland still hopes to borrow $780,
000, 900 from the International Bank,

Russia.
The Polish Russian trade treaty

she would recover from the war.

Bank last fall for a $500, ,0O0, 900 loan
for reconstruction and moderniza-
tion of industry. The request still
is pending.
Russian aid has assured Poland
of reaching the goals of its three
year economic recovery program,
the spokesman told a news confer
ence. The program extends through
.1949.
Outlining the details of the COM
mercial pact. the spokesman said
Russia's promised deliveries of 290,-
900 tons of grain assured Poland
of adequate bread supplies until
the next harvest.
There were no political conditions
attached to the trade treaty and
Russian loan, he said. He added
there was no military representa-
tion in the Polish trade mission.

Start Of Critical Phase
I'm China Conflict Seen
BY The Assoeioted Press

SHANGHAI, Jan. 29.-Military
observers expressed belief today
that China has begun the most
critical phase of Its civil war In a
struggle for medium sized cities and
towns flanking major centers Of
population.
On the result, they said, rests the
outcome of the bitter conflict with
the Chinese Communists.
Military observers predicted there
would be no frontal battles for big
cities, such as Mukden, Peiping,
Tientsin, lTsingtao and Chefoo,s all
in government hands; that their
fate would be decided in the cur
rent campaigns in the countryside.
On that basis, the Manchurian
situation has taken a decided turn
for the worse from the government
standpoint with the loss of the key
railtown of Sinlitun, which domi-
mates. the western approaches to
Mukden. ,..

Democrats Will Fight
For Rent Control and
Homes, Pepper Says
by the Assoeinted Press

Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida said today the Democrats
will make rent control and hous-
ing issues in the 1948 elections
unless Congress takes satisfac-
tory action at this session.
Senator Pepper and Mayor viii
liam ODwyer of New York City ap-
pealed to Senate Banking subcom-
mittee to extend rent controls to the
middle of 1850. The committee Is
studying controls now due to expire
February 90.
Senator Pepper said the Demo-
cratic minority in Congress will
fight this year for decent rent
control law" and national housing
program.
"If we lose" Senator Pepper said,
1--WE are going to carry" the fight to
the people in the 1948 campaign.
A statement by Mayor ODwyer
was read to the committee by Maur-
ice Finkelstein, member of the New
York City Rent Commission.
Emergency to Continue.
The mayor said that "at the rate
at which new housing Is now being
provided, it is clear that the emerg-
ency will continue for at least an
other two years"
He said a general across-the-
board rental increase would cause
more hardship than it would relieve.
The result in many instances would
be bonanza for those operators
who are now making a fair return.
A fiat increase would apply indis-
criminately whether or not the
owner needs relief. ="
Mr.. O'Dwyer said New York City
has adopted some control measures
of its own, but "the Federal Gov
ernment should assume responsible
ity (for such a programD in its
entirety"
Both he and Senator Pepper rec
commended that Congress reimpose
controls over residential hotels,
houses covered by so-called volun-
tary leases and other units freed
from controls in the law which be-
came effective last July /.

declared collective bargaining prin-
ciples are threatened with destruc-
ton" by the law. He accused Robert

cutor, as required by the law, has
charged the ITU with unfair
labor practices against members
of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association. He has asked

hearing has been set for Febru-
ary 9 in Indianapolis

proved CIO opposition to a third
political party at this time. He

dental candidacy a "disservice to
the cause of labor and liberalism"
The guild president said his
union would seek election of can
didates favoring union programs

cal Action Committee in this.

Director Irving F. Wixon of the
immigration service in San Fran
cisco said the % Mexicans, including
two women, we're being flown from
Oakland to the deportation center

Woman, 80, Gets
1896 on Policy
| FORGOTTEN in 1907

An 80-year-old Arlington woman
has received 1896 as beneficiary of

existed.
Mrs. Jessie Lapham of 1918 Twen-

ceived the sum from the Mutual
Life Insurance Co. of New York.
Company officials here explained
that the policy was purchased Al
years ago by her late husband. They
said he quit paying premiums in
1907, electing to continue paid-up
value, and that no word had been
received from Mr.. or Mrs. Lapham
since that time. ,.l-"

mittee the Government should set
aside minimum quantities of es-
scntial materials and commodities"
for home use before permitting any
shipments abroad.
Such a program" he said would
assure the people that reasonable
supplies for domestic use viii be
maintained in this country and
would put an end to the incentive
to bid up prices and build up inven-
tories"
One of the principal arguments
for price control. Mr.. Holman as
serted, is that it would head of
another round of wage demands
this spring.
"We believe the die Is cast and
no possible price action can COM
pei or forestall such increases" he
said.
Another banking subcommittee
called afternoon hearings on a
bill by Senator Flanders, Republic
can, of Vermont to let the Agricul-
ture Department prepare for meat
rationing.
The Flanders bill would authorize
the department to print ration
books, but the program would have
to wait for a go-ahead from Con-
gress.

Fearful Of Crisis in
Relations With Arabs
by the Assoeiafed Press

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Britain's
government worriedly eyed the
Middle East today, fearful of a
crisis in their relations with the
Arab states.
officials conceded that recent
riots In Baghdad reflected serious
British miscalculation of popular
Arab opinion. The riots were in
protest against a revised British
Iraqi treaty of alliance.
Some informants said the British
may try to retrieve lost ground by
proposing slight modification of the
treaty, which was signed January
Is. 1t has not been ratified. The
government of Premier Salih Bey
ell Jabur. which negotiated the re-
vision, quit Tuesday
The treaty would permit British
troops to enter Iraq in event of war
and would allow the British to use
Iraq airfields.
Misjudgment Admitted.
British officials said that even
some Britons who had helped write
the treaty acknowledged they had
misjudged popular Arab opinion.
Normally, they said, there is little
variance between the official Arab
view and that of its people, but in
Iraq serious difference quickly be-
came apparent.
There was some hope, however,
that a new Iraq government might
be formed which would be able to
convince the people the treaty is in
their best interests.
Foreign Secretary Bevin had ex-
pressed hope the British-Ir -Iraqi
treaty would be one of a system of
alliances to form British Arab bull
wark against the spread of commun-
ism in the Middle East.
But the trigger-quick temper of
the Arabian man-on-the-street pro-
vides a touchy problem.
An illustration of Arab nation
alism was given in London yesterday
by an unidentified Trans-Jordan
official. He said:
"If the people of the Mid East had
to choose between being Arabs un-
der communism and being subjects
of a foreign imperialism, whether
British or American imperialism,
unquestioningly they would select
communism.
Soviet Reaction Given.
"The British ought to have rea-
lized that after the Egyptian dead
lock arose last year, but they did
not. They proved they did not in
the pact with Iraq. Until they get
rid of the notion that they're deal
ing with crowd of penniless coolies,
they'll get nowhere in the Middle
East"
A Moscow radio commentator
heard in London gave the Soviet
reaction to the Iraq question. The
broadcast said the Arabs regard
the treaty as a direct menace to
national interests and an attempt
"of the imperialists to continue
their old colonial policy Of enslave-
ment of the peoples of Asia and
Africa"
In Baghdad, former Premier
Salih Bey ell Jabur was reliably re-
ported to have fled the city. A secret
police informant said he had gone to
Hilla, 60 miles south of Baghdad,
to the tribes of his father -in-law.
Crowds marched through Baghdad,
crying for his head.
