CARL RUTH DIES;

for a last ditch attempt to turn the tide in Marion county's lagging 7th war loan drive before the national deadline June 30. With only one week to go, Marion county and Indianapolis are at only 69 per cent of their $33,000,000 bond quota for individuals at that point of the drive. William H.

POLES TO SEEK TRUMAN'S HELP

Exile Premier Says He Wil Also Appeal to Britain.

LONDON, June 22 (U. P.).—

today that his Polish government ' lin exile will appeal to Presi-

dent Truman and Prime Minister Churchill in connection with ‘the

leaders in Moscow. Arciszewski did not reveal what form the appeal to Mr. Truman and Churchill would take. He said his government could not recognize the legality of the trial. | Twelve Poles were convicted of subversive activity against the Red army and given prison terms. He said the charges were “too fantastic to be refuted at the moment in detail, but this will be done in due time.” He particularly denied charges that the wunderground . connived with the Germans.

Unity Believed Near

Arciszewski denounced the Moscow trial as & dispatch from Russia hinted that an official announcement of an agreement among rival Polish factions on the formation of a new unity government was imminent. The dispatch said the “best possible news” was expected: regarding an agreement between Stanislaw Mikolajezyk, head of a delegation

London, and representatives of the Soviet-supported Polish provisiongl government in Warsaw. “An official announcement forthcoming,” the dispatch said. No details were given in the dispatch, but Mikolajczyk, former premier of the Polish exile government in London, and the other conferees have been attempting to set up a coalition government in line with the Yalta recommendations of the Big Three.

Presented Ultimatum

The Yorkshire Post, often believed to have a pipeline to the British foreign office, reported that the Warsaw Poles presented an ultimatum to Mikolajczyk calling upon him to take the pgst of deputy prime minister in the proposed unity government. The ultimatum also offered Jan Stinczyk, Mikolajezyk's fellow-dele-gate from London, a post in the new government. “Mr. Mikolajczyk managed to avold complying with this ultimatum withoat, it seems, causing a deadlock in. the talks, " the Post said. The United States and Britain have indicated they will withdraw their recognition of the London government in favor of the provisional cabinet at Warsaw if it were broadened to include Mikolajczyk and other Poles abroad. Members of the present London government were not invited to the Moscow conference.

U. S. May Request

WASHINGTON, June 322.—Reliable sources said today there was an “outside chance” the U. 8. would seek freedom for the 12 Polish leaders sentenced to prison terms by a Russian military tribunal.

that such a move, if cautiously handled, might help the Polish political discussions in Moscow. It was pointed out that such a move would require considerable delicacy on the part of U.S. diplomats. It doubtless would be dane by means of unofficial conversations between U. 8. and Soviet officials, possibly with Britain joining in the bid for pardons,

Record Upholds Truman Idea That Speaker Should Succeed

and vice president were eliminated from office. The law now provides that the secretary of state shall succeed to {the presidency under those ecircum- | stances. The objection was raised: “But ferent political party from the President's.” Likely People’s Choice President Truman said a man succeeding to the office of President, following the vice president, should (reflect as nearly as possible the im- | mediate, political preterences of the people. Records show that when partisan controi of the house changes in offyear elections, the party winning control elects the subsequent President. Thus if Republicans were to win house control in 1946, records indicate they would elect a President in 1948. Consequently a Républican speaker of 1946-48 would be closer to the will of the voters than would a Democratic secretary of state, The records: While Andrew Johnson (D.) was President, “succeeding Abraham Lincoln, the off-year election 1867 returned a house that was Republican by 143 to 49.
