Polish Question Slows Progress Of Peace Plans
The question of bringing Poland into the United Nations conference on international organization continues to hamper progress on this important subject. When the question of inviting Argentina was raised, the Russian Foreign Commissar, V. M. Molotov, again proposed invisiting representatives of the Polish government in Warsaw to the conference. The proposal was defeated in the steering committee and firmly opposed by American and British representatives.
The United States and Britain refuse to give up on the issue until the Polish government is "broadened" even if the Russians insists that Russia recognize the agreement on the Polish question which was reached at the Crimea conference There the Big Three decided that "the provisional government which is now functioning in Poland should . . . be reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from Poles abroad . . . This Polish Provisional Government of National Unity shall be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot. In these elections all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the right to take part and to put forward candidates . . ."
Only two explanations have been given for Russia's insistent refusal to enlarge the Polish government in accordance with the Yalta agreement: (1) Stalin was opposed by his colleagues in the Kremlin hierarchy on his stand on Poland at the Yalta conference and had to retreat from the position he took there; (2) the present Lublin government is so weak that it can't be "broaden" without being taken over by the "democratic elements" which the United States and Britain want included and which Marshal Stalin promised to include at Yalta.
When Mr. Molotov raised the question of inviting Poland to the conference, he stated that it was unfair that Poland should not be represented. Perhaps Mr. Molotov was right. At least he could have questioned the justice of admitting the Argentine colonels before the Poles, who did not wait until they could see the glow of Allied victory over the horizon before they entered the war against the Nazis.-J.V.

car."
"The box cars were bombed once, though none was hit. About eight men tried to escape during the raid and all but one of them were killed by shrapnel. The Germans shot him."
Non-commissioned officers, who were in charge of the Ziegenhiem camp did not beat the prisoners, but they shot them if they got in their way.
"Those Germans seemed to think the only way they could prove rank among themselves was by screaming at each other." Bob added smilingly, "If we hadn't been so worn out, we would have laughed in their faces." Meals Consist of Tea and Soup
Hot tea, made from grains, and unidentified soup, and hard tack were given the men daily. The food varied in quantity, but never in quality.
"Most of us just slept or dozed from one meal to the next," Bob said, recalling the long days in camp.
The Ziegenhiem war prisoners were liberated by units of the American Third army on March 30. Some, political prisoners and those from conquered countries, had been interned for four or five years.
"The Americans were flown out of Germany into France, and they treated us like kings—new uniforms, cigarettes, candy, steaks, just about anything we wanted."
Prisoners Cook Midnight Snacks
"We came home in a convoy, by way of England. It took fifteen days and we ate everything in sight, even going to the ship's galley late at night to cook up midnight snacks," Bob says.
"About 1,500 of us arrived in New Jersey April 28,and believe me,the U. S. looked plenty good!"
Having regained most of the 35 pounds he lost while a prisoner of war, Bob leaves today for Larned and 60 days of home cooking, before he reports to Hot Springs, Ark., July 3, for reassignment.

Did you hear about the V-12 who had taken his girl to the city for supper (and so on), came back to KU., and merely commented, "I'm gonna start calling my girl Prescription, 'cause she's so darn expensive to fill."
This old world has been through a lot of Ages—the Ice Age, Stone Age, Iron Age, Age of Innocence, and such. If, in the future, geologists should be seeking an appropriate name for the present period (April, 1945), it might well be called the Drain-age. Eh, weatherman?

"Dordie" better known as the "Cremated Wonder" was taking a bath one night, when the former pair came in, sprinkled a bit of lighter fluid on the water, lit it, and ran. The result was a flaming mad "Dordie."

Ah youth! What college gals (or boys) won't do or say for a laugh is positively potustick (not in Webster).
Shirley Oelschlaeger was walking toward East Topeka (DG house) one day last week, after a hard day in anatomy. For something new and different in lab work she carried home a stack of bones to study that night. On the way she overtook Mary Lou Mathews, who said when she saw her, "What a handsome man, Shirley. Who is he? Napoleon Bone-apart?"
