By the Assoeioted Pres.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April l6.-The Soviet bloc,
speaking through Communist
Poland. today withdrew it's
catch-all peace package which
had been strongly opposed by
the West.
Polish Foreign Minister STAN
islaw Skrzeszewski told the
United Nations 60-nation Polit-
ical Committee he was dropping
completely the section of his
plan calling for an immediate
cease-f1re in Korea and would
not press for a vote on other Sec
tions at this Assembly session.
The Polish plan, which Chief
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vish-
insky had backed strenuously.
would have left discussions on
settling the prisoner of war issue
until after the cease-fire. West
tern delegates said this would let
the Reds use U. N. prisoners as
hostages to get better terms than
they otherwise would.
Backing Brazil'S Plan.
Instead of pressing this de-
mand, Mr.. Skrzeszewski said.
Poland would back Brazilian
resolution which merely notes
with deep satisfaction" the
agreement already reached at
Panmunjom on sick and wound
ed prisoners and expresses the
hope that further negotiations
will bring peace to Korea.
Poland acted after India's V.
K. Krishna Menon appealed to
it to withdraw at least the
Korean section Of his peace plan
in order to speed an armistice.
Poland said the Brazilian
resolution provided a "satisfac-
tory solution" and it was acting
not to interfere with the Chi
nese initiative" in proposing the
resumption of truce talks.
The Polish move, which was
unprecedented in the U. NJ, came
as a complete surprise since Mr..
Vishinsky only yesterday had
supported the Polish draft.
The resolution, which has now
been discarded at least for a
year, contained all the usual
Communist terms for world
peace.
These points are a Big Five
peace pact among the Soviet
Union, Britain, France, the
United States and China; imme-
diate prohibition of the atomic
bomb; a fiat one-third cut in
the armed forces and ornaments
of the big powers; dissolution
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization.
The Polish Foreign Minister
said he was dropping the plan
because it needed further
study" by the U. N. before a
vote is taken on it.
Accuses, Then Approves.
RusSia's chief delegate, Andrei
Y. Vishinsky, yesterday voiced
his approval of the Western res
olution, introduced by Brazil,
after a long speech filled with
familiar charges that the United
States is stalling off peace in
Korea. and with oft-repeated
plugs for the Polish resolution
which he himself tried last year
to push through, to no avail.
The mildly worded Brazilian
resolution also calls on the Gen.
eral Assembly to recess this ses-
sion when it finishes all items
on its agenda, but to be ready
to come back should a Korean
armistice be signed or other ma
jor Korean problems arise.
Ernest A. Gross, United States
Ambassador, expressed SatiSfac-
ton at the Soviet agreement.
The political committee has
only one more item on its agenda
for this session of the assembly.
That is a charge by Burma that
Nationalist China has committed
aggression against her by help
ing Chinese guerrillas operating
in the Burmese jungles since they
were driven out of their home
land by the Reds in 1948.

Meanwhile, the United Nations

for meeting tomorrow to deliver
a letter on resumption of the

Letter From Gen. Harrison.
The official U. N. spokesman
said the letter was from 1t. Gen.

allied armistice delegate, and
was addressed to the head of

Gen. Clark has received in

Washington. But officials there

This will mark the eighth

Changes at Stadium.
Early arrivals who awaited the
appearance of the President and
the start of another season found
some changes in Griffith Sta
dium.
The most noticeable is a new
bluestone walk which encircles
the park. 1t is 10 feet wide
around the outfield and enables
outflelders chasing ball to know
they have two steps left before
crashing the wall when they hit
the bluestone.
The right field pavilion has
been made part of the grand
stand. A new scoreboard on the
railing of the upper tier to the
left of home plate now gives
everybody in the stadium a view
of either the main scoreboard in
center field or the new one.
After the pre-game frills, ex.
Yankee Bob Porterf1eld, a for
mer paratrooper who performed
chores under Gen. Eisenhower
far-removed direction in Europe,
faced his former teammates.
Porterf1eld compiled a 1914 rec
ord in a hard-luck season with
the Mats last year.
Johnny Sain, four times a 20
game winner with the Braves
before they were moved from
Boston to Milwaukee, pitched
for the Yankees, bidding for a
fifth straight pennant and world
championship. The 34-year-old
right-hander won II games and
lost 6 with the Yankees last
season.

 The panel consisted of Charles Wilson, member of the Palmer City Planning Commission; Rich ard Demming, engineer; Mayor Alfred V. Hagen, and Roland Snodgrass.
 Demming discussed the gener- al aspects of city planning and various systems used in the gen. eral layout of towns and cities.
 Discussing subdivisions, especi- ally as related to Palmer and it's immediate vicinity, Charles Will son illustrated some of the meth ods of subdividing a plot of land and gave advantages and disad- vantages of each, as related to city planning.
 Due to lack of time, neither Mayor Hagen nor Snodgrass were able to present their particu- lar phase of city planning; Plan ming as it effects the City" and Planning as it effects the land owner" nor did time permit any general discussions. The program chairman announced the panel discussion would be continued at a future date.

one and requires continuous ob- servation in order to see that the public interest is protected. Actu- ally, the production capacity north of the Alaska Range is be- lieved to be adequate for the an ticipated demand over the next few years, whereas, that south of the Range is less favorable in that essentially all of the production there comes from but one mine. However, intensive study is now being given by appropriate Inter- for agencies to the review of both the coal markets and productive capacities.
 The report concluded, "This Department will not contenance the deliberate holding without production of public coal land by leases but it does realize the diff faculties and believes that lessees who demonstrate good faith should be given a reasonable op- portunity to resolve their diff culties. Following out this policy, the Department is now reviewing one of the lease contracts in the Matanuska field with a view to instituting action to cancel unless the lease is further activated."
