Catholicism
Says Priest
! MOSCOW, May 8-(r)-The Rev.
Stanislaus Orlemanski, Polish
American priest concluding a 12
day visit to. Russia, declared ten
day after a second audience with
Premier Joseph Stalin that the
soviet leader is "very friendly dis
posed towards the Roman Catho
lic church" and that "the religion
of our forefather shall be the re
lief on of the Polish people." .-' .
In a formal statement issued as
he departed for the United States,
Father Orlemanski significantly
said that "future " events will
prove Stalin's friendliness to
ward the Catholic church. The
priest described bis own predic
tion as "historic,", but gave no
hint as to what he thought the
actual events might be.
The American, whose trip here
has aroused criticism in the Unit
ed States, declared also f that
-Stalin "really wants a strong, in
dependent democratic Poland,"
and that "he has no Intentio of
meddling in the internal affair of
Poland." ;-t
Apparently highly satisfied
with his trip. Father Orlemanski
praised the Russians as "a won
derful people" and Stalin and
Foreign Commissar Molotov as
"great men." He conferred with
the two leaders at the Kremlin
for two hours Thursday and said
"the results were beyond my ex
pectation.' "

WASHINGTON, May tHPh
Uncle Sam m&j be conking, up
some1 diplomatic surprises for the
neutrals and Finland, to be sprung
after; the invasion gets rolling and
designed to leave nasi Europe more
isolated than ever. , ' . ' 5
Relations with Spain are smooth
er but there are problems out
standing with Switzerland, Port
ugal, Eire and Turkey which are
likely to receive much closer; at
tention when invasion paves the
way for stronger talk. ' - - 1
Finland is neutral to the US, but
not to Britain and Russia. Impor
tant fact here is that Russia has
not resumed bombing of Finnish
cities even though peace talks have
broken 'down again. Allied ideas
about the Finns apparently await
the time when they can be geared
in with military operations which
will change the whole diplomatic
picture. .
Is reconversion slow? Some
production officials privately fear
war production might decline as
much as 55 ner cent by the end of
this year if Germany should fold
up soon.' This is in contrast to the
forecast of Charles E. Wilson that
German collapse would free 35
per cent of this country's arms
making capacity for civilian goods.
These officials are worried that
WPB may be slow in getting re
conversion machinery set up. .
The draft State draft directors,
Who will be here tomorrow for
important discussions taking place
in a critical period for selective
service, will probably be told that
the general drafting of men 26
and older will be resumed nation
ally at a given signal from head
quarters instead of state by state,
as previous supposed.'. -
' . Some states will run out of men
under 26 sooner than other states

tion each state director would or

These instructions will be changed.
