Reds in Poland Place
Women on Rock Pile
For Slight 0ffenses
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. ~.
"A 21-year-old. blond who fled
Poland in a rattletrap plane said
yesterday that women-as we'll as
men-are liable to end up on the
rock pile if they are found guilty
of even slight offenses against the
Red Warsaw regime.
"A woman in Poland today is
no longer treated as a woman"
Krystyna Korczynska said in an
interview.
She told a story Of women be-
ing forced to do heavy labor and
being sent to special labor camps
from which no one ever returns
and which are entirely isolated
from the outer world"
Miss Korczynska was woman
in a quartet which landed at
Bulltofta Airport in South Sweden
August 8 after a flight across the
Baltic. The refugees said they en-
gagged in a gunfight before taking
off from Poznan Airport. Their
plane contained several parts TAX
en- from other craft.
Members Of Flying Club.
The men were her fiance. a 23-
year-old photographer, and two
students, all members OF the Poz-
nan amateur flying club. Sweden
has granted them asylum, along
with IL Polish navy mutineers
who docked here a day before
the plane landed.
Love had something to do with
it," Miss Korczynska said in an
interview.
"We made a pledge to flee to-
gether from Poland on our en-
gagement day in 1949. We will
marry as soon as we have jobs
in Sweden"
The woman said she is using
the name Korczynska here in the
hope the Communists will not
touch my parents
Working discipline is fright
fully strict in Poland" she said.
"The slightest offense is being
punished-if you are lucky, you
get off only with a cut in salary.
If you are late three times in
a month, they take away half
your pay.
with an average monthly SAL
ary for a girl of only 300-350
zloty. (about $80-$90) and the
price of simple Mock about 600
zloty, it is extremely hard to stand
any salary cuts"
Miss Korczynska said she had
been working as a clerk for two
years in a big state-owned food
importing agency.
II refused to join the Commu-
mist Party, although that meant
lower pay and inferior working
conditions" she said. "They cut
my salary again and again and
forced me to do strenuous over
time work-six additional hours a
day without overtime pay. But
I did not yield an inch"
Overtime Compulsory.
A refusal to work overtime puts
you on record as a saboteur
and political enemy, she said.
"You are fired and you are
lucky If you get away with being
put to inferior heavy work for
which women are physically unfit"
she said.
IF the offenSe is repeated, you
are transferred at once to forced
labor camps for women. These
camps are among the most
dreaded institutions in Poland to-
day.
Their existence is a strictly
kept secret but women who dis
appeared after controversies with
the police have managed to snug
gle out letters telling them.
"These women say they are
being guarded by Russians and
100 per cent reliable Polish Com
Inunists, and have to work in
mines. stone quarries or on road
construction. until they persih.

Thanksgiving Day became more
than lust another memorable dav
Yesterday for Nancy and Chuck
Thornburgh because it marked the
re-opening of their lovely res
taurant out on the Boulevard fac
ing the blue Atlantic.
Among the distinguished guests
who flocked to sample the cuisine
of the new Chef. Pietro Jenovese,
were Mrs. Thornhurgh's sister.
Miss Sondra Golan and seven of
her sorority sisters of Iota Aalpha
Pi of Miami.
Many favorable comments were
heard about the new decorations
which are tropical in feeling.
The lovely bamboo screen with
climbing tropical plants at the
base, separating the dining area
from the beautiful bar; the BAN
boo drapes at all the windows.
and especially the four wonder
full Gerald Leake Water colors
of Key West fishing boats and
waterfront scenes, add beauty.
All in all, the consensus is that
this re-opening was more than
successful, and the popularity of
Raul's is assured.
