Note Warns Poland .
U. 5. viii Shelter All
Who Flee Red Rule

t.
The United States served mo-
tice on Communist Poland today
that it always will welcome refu-
gees fleeing the oppression Of
Red rule.
The American position was
stated in a sharp note which also
told Poland to stop complaining
to Washington about the Chi
nese Nationalist seizure Of two
Polish ships, the Praca and the
Gottwald.
In scofing at Poland's pro-
test against admission Of defect
ing seamen from the two ships
to the United States, the note
declared:
"The United States Govern
ment. true to its traditional poll
cies of granting asylum to those
suffering from oppression, has
welcomed, and will continue to
welcome. persons such as the Po-
lish officers and seamen from the
Praca and Gottwald who sought
refuge in this country"
Third Reply.
For the third time, the United
States said it had nothing to do
with seizure of the ships while
they were trying to reach Red
China.
IF the Polish government is
genuinely interested in pursuing
this matter in a practical way
rather than in dispatching a
series of notes purely for propa-
ganda purposes, it could seek a
solution of this issue with the
government of the Republic OF
China through diplomatic chan
nels," said an American note
delivered in Warsaw today.
Chinese Nationalists seized the
tanker Praca on Octover 4, 1858,
and seized the freighter Gott-
wald last May 13. Twenty-Five
Polish members of the crews OF
the two ships requested and re-
ceived political asylum in the
United States.
Poland has complained three
times that the United States had
its own aircraft spot the Polish
ships for Chinese Nationalist
warships, and in general was re-
sponsible for the interception
The American reply said that
"the United States Government
again rejects as without basis in
fact" the Polish version of the
ship seizures.
"The United States had nc
connection with this action OF
with the decision of so many
crew members from these shipl
to seek asylum" the note said.
Operates With Fleet.
The note said that the Ameri-
can aircraft off Formosa, "oper.
ate in conjunction with the Sew.
] enth Fleet of the United States
Navy, which has been ordered By
/ the President Of the United
States to patrol the waters
around Formosa In order to pre-
vent an attack on that island.

Fleet has been and will continue

U. 5. Reports Rise
In Consumer Prices
Here Last Quarter
Index Shows Decline
Nationally for August.
Mainly From Food Dip
WAsA,HdtoN STAR
BY Allen Drury

Consumer prices in Washing
ton rose four-tenths of / per
cent during the quarter ending
in August, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today, while
the price index nationally showed
a drop during the past month.
The bureau said the Washing
ton increase was due principally
to the new District sales tax on
groceries and new taxes on res
taurant meals, cigarettes and
gasoline. Medical costs also rose
during the quarter.
Nationally the index declined
two-tenths of a percentage point
between July and August, MAIN
ly from lower food prices, with
some decreases noted also in
apparel. house furnishings, read
ing and recreation, gasoline and
new cars. The index for the
month was lis per cent of the
