Emily Post Advises

handed to some one, it should be
opened at once in the presence of
the giver. Would this same advice
hold when only some Of the guests
bring presents to a party and
others do not?
Answer: It would be very dis
courteous to the guests who
brought presents to pay no atten-
tion to them, and so far as those
WHO brought none are concerned,
the fact that these were in the ma
jority should surely have assuaged
their distress.
Lody Offers Hand
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you be kind
enough to settle an argument be-
tween my brother-in-law and my
self? He says that it is not good
manners for a man to shake hands
with a woman when they are in
|troduced.
Answer: Certainly. she should
offer him her hand first, but it is
no great error should he offer his.

inequalities of opportunity can be
ironed out.
He cited the Philippines as the
most shining example" of the
workability of brotherhood among
men.

The subject of the following
letter is not new: I'D like to
know the right procedure toward
new neighbors. On our street
there has always been question
about it. Many believe that the
new neighbors should make the
advances when they're settled.
myself believe that it should be
the other way around, and that
old neighbors should go to see
the new and even offer to help in
whatever way they can"
You are right. 1t is not only
more courteous, but the established
obligation of the old residents to
go to see the new. Many new
neighborS are made very unhappy
by their helplessness in being un-
able to make any first move to-
ward the older residents who have
not shown them any welcome.

Gus order, has offered to give the
Poles to Hitler in exchange for
$4,000 Ukrainian nationalists-a
bargain in brains. The Germans
yielded the Ukrainians but refused
to accept the headache of feeding
and guarding the Poles.
Stain Learns of Error.
Stain himself apparently learned
the result of his tragic order only
about 18 months after the Polish
bodies were under ground. &C
cording to the ListoWel sources.
Ambassador Kot, Polish envoy
IN Moscow, confronted Stain per-
sonally and asked him why nearly
$4,000 officers had vanished from
their three camps.
Stain, with seeming straight
forWardness, replied, Every Pole
in Russia has been liberated" "
When Mr.. Kot insisted that thou
sands were missing, Stain, be-
having puzzled, made two phone
calls in his presence. After the
calls, Stain no longer insisted
that all the Poles were alive. He
fell into silence and dismissed the
Ambassador.
Apparently Mr.. Kot's questions,
18 months after the massacre.
were Stalin's first clue that his
ORDER had gone wrong. It appears
that the NKVD under Beria with
held the word of the misinter-
preted order. hoping that the
Poles could be made to seem to
disappear" like others into re-
mote camps.

foreign Correspondent Of The stor and
the Chicnuo Dolly News

ROME. Nov. 29.-Was a ghastly
error in interpreting a verbal Or
der by Stain responsible for the
mass murder at Katyn of 14,47G
Polish officers? The murder is
under probe by Congress.
According to new evidence just
published in Europe, Stain, wher
he gave the order that sent the
flower of Poland's army into colo
graves in Europe, did not know
what he was doing.
The Soviet police executed the
Poles in patches in April anu May
1910. The theory that this mass
murder was the most CHASTITY
blunder of history is contained in
CRUSADER in the Secret War;" a
biography of a distinguished Polish
ofhcer-spy by Hungarian born
British Countess Judith Listowel
an occasional lecturer in the
United States.
Kept Quiet Among Reds.
At first, the Soviet mass murder
was kept quiet even among Com
munists. 1t began leaking when
some pro-Communist Polish Off
GERS suggested to the Soviets that
they would like to form a Red
Polish army. They asked Merku-
lov, righthand aide to Beria. chief
of the Soviet Secret Police, to re-
lease as nucleus some of the Polish
officers, who had ceased writing
letters six months before.
After an embarrassed silence
Merkulov told the Polish Reds:
You will not be able to use those
men-we have made a great mis-
take with them"
The mistake was apparently due
to an oral order by Stain to
"liquidate" the officers. Stain
did not mean for the police to
shoot them but to disperse them
according to the book. A few were
dispersed to the White Sea camps
and some even reached the Middle
East.
Stalin's purpose was evidently
to prevent such studied mass re-
volts as the Chinese Communists
recently have tried on Koje Island
with the aim of consuming allied
manpower on guard duty.
The murders were committed by
patches while the Stain Hitler
alliance was still prospering. The
Russians, before Stains ambigu-

with Russia as much as Roosevelt
feared one, according to the Lis
towel evidence. After one bad
winter in Russia the Nazis were
trying to wheedle the Soviets into
a halfway arrangement like that
with Vichy France.
Hitler slammed the door by an
nouncing the Katyn massacre
only when it was apparent that
Stain felt his stakes in western
victory were higher.
The Nazis waited nearly two
years after the breakup of their
alliance to reveal their case.
The Americans have waited
seven,

BY a teasing, clever diplomacy
the Soviets successfully persuaded
first the Nazis. later the Amer
leans, into keeping silent for years
about the Soviet murders, it seems
from the Listowel account.
In Washington recently, Mai.
Gen. Clayton Bissell admitted
that an American Army report
condemning the Soviets was sup
pressed in order to keep the Rus
slams from refusing to fight in
