Iturbances in Poland
It issued this statement:
1.-THE press in many capitals
of Western Europe has published
news sensations from various
foreign news agencies on strikes
and political demonstrations in
Poland.
1.-THE radios of these countries
have also broadcast these re-
ports.
"T'hey have published and

called strike of miners at Som

at Poznan, an attack on a So

officer was burned near Lignica
Reports Checked"
1.-THE Polish press agency has
had these reports checked by
its correspondents in the prov
Iinces. All this information about
Iso-called strikes. manifestations
and attacks had proved to be
complete invention"
Reports Of these incidents were
widespread in usually reliable
circles in Warsaw Thursday

The group would invite a COM

The advocates 40 not want tt

climate prepared in which the
program can be presented in de.
tail. This means they desire first
a general settling down in the
area, an easing of the tension
and some release from the over
riding worries.
Thus the plan in its prelimi-
nary stages depends on a visible
guarantee to the Arabs against
any new attack from Israel. The
Arabs seem really afraid Of Is
'rael. though it is a nation Of
only two million in an area Of
40 million Arabs.
The visible guarantee, they say,
can only be United Nations
troops forming a belt between
Israel and the Arab countries.
Words will not suffice. They
point out that aggression came
this fall despite the 1850 declara-
ton Of the United States, Britain
and France against it.
Leading Egyptians seem to feel
that the U. N could provide suf-
ficient guarantees while a long
study is made OF the Arab
Israeli problem. With typical
Arab unwillingness to face un-
pleasant facts, there seems to
be hope that the study will
continue forever without reach
ing definite conclusions. While
the Arabs now have a laundering
for peace, no leader dares
formalize it. And of all the lead
ers In the Arab world, only Col,
NasSer is in a position to make
any positive move.
But ! was assured that If the
population of the Arab world
could pin its faith on the U. N
and regard the frontiers as
secure. the Arabs then could turn
to their monumental internal
problems. This in itself, my in
formants said, would do away
with any justification for turn
ing to the Russians for at least
so per cent of those people now
inclined that Way.

patch noted that these reports
were not confirmed and that
difficult communications. coupled
with the absence of channels
of information normal to any
western country, made it impos-
sible to conform or discount
them.
A ranking Communist official
told this reporter today recent
disturbances in some Polish
towns are not viewed as politi-
cally significant. He said all

a disturbance-previously. unre-
ported-at Zabrze in the Silesian
coal basin. He said a great deal
of public excitement" exists in
Poland as a result of the Hun
garian tragedy. He said this ex-
Icitement bore no resemblances
to the feelings which last June
led to a strike and uprising at
Poznan.
Amid this public excitement
Poland's program of de-Stalin-
ization continues undisturbed.
In the past week more rehabili-

It's prestige is higher now in the
Arab world than at any time
since the end Of World War II.
The sinister portents in the
Middle East lie in the steady

countries in the wake Of the
