Gomulka Wins Control From Pro-Russians WARSAW, Oct. 20 (AP) Wladyslaw Gomulka, new lead er of Polish Communism, pre sented the nation tonight with a virtual declaration of inde pendence from the Soviet Union. Gomulka went before the Cen tral Committee of the United Workers (Communist) Party with a 24-hour speech denouncing what he called misrule of the past 12 years and calling on Poland to set its own course toward socialism independent of Moscow. His statement broadcast by the government radio showed Soviet Communist Party chief Nikita S. Khrushchev on a flying visit to Warsaw yesterday had failed to stem the drive toward freedom from Kremlin control. Appointment Near Announcement that Gomulka has been named first secretary of the party top controlling post was expected momentarily. The tension that gripped the cap ital for two days relaxed as it became clear the Gomulka, al lied with premier Josef Cyran- kiewicz and party leader Edward Ochab, had won full support of the nation against the "anti- liberalization" faction identified with defense minister Konstantin Rokossovsky Rumors swept the city earlier today that the pro-Moscow Rokos- sovsicy taction mignt attempt coup d'etat it Gomulka's policies won the day. Troops Ready Polish troops moved to protec tive positions in and around the capital. Qualified observers had no doubt they were there as pre caution against any such Moscow- inspired move. Tonight the troops were report ed withdrawn and returned to their barracks. The city was com pletely normal, with - crowds in the streets as usual on a Satur day night. Barks Peasants Gomulka attacked the Soviet style economy. He declared pro duction on peasant farms is 30 per cent higher than on the state run collectives. Industrial policies, he said, were riddled with mistakes. Millions were spent on imported machin ery that Poland had no use for. Production was stifled in a tangle of bureaucracy. Independence, Equality Gomulka went on to assert that Poland's relations with the Soviet Union and with Red China and the other Communist countries must be those of equality and in dependence. He said Polish workers 'were justified in the protests that pro duced the June 28 Poznan riots. He blamed the riots squarely on the Communist Party'i mis handling of workers' complaints and stated attempts to blame the uprising on "foreign imperialist provocations" were ' false. Gomulka's speech made clear that he had rejected the report ed demands by Khrushchev that Poland move back to the ortho dox, Moscow-dictated Communist line for satellites. Barked by Troops Khrushchev was pictured in some Western dispatches as backed up by Soviet troop ma neuvers in his meeting with he Polish Communists, and firm ' in declaring he never would let them "sell this country lu the American imperialists." The Stockholm newspaper Ex pressen said in a Warsaw dis patch Khrushchev lost his temper, rose from his scat and shouted: "I will show you what the way to socialism looks like. If you don't obey we will crush you. We are going to use force to kill all sorts of uprisings in this country." Loyal to Poland Internal security forces and po lice were described by the Paris newspaper Le Monde as remain ing loyal to Poland's government. Le Monde said important concen trations of Soviet troops had been sighted in the outskirts of War saw and others were reported on the way: "A Soviet regiment ar rived at Szczecin from Germany.

Norblad Requests Woodburn Base Confusion Settled The "state of confusion" over the status of the proposed S45.000, 000 Air Base west of Woodburn 'should be settled as soon as pos sible ... so that residents may be able to determine their own future plans." Rep. Walter Norblad R Ore.) told the secretary of the Air Force in a letter Saturday.

ARMS AID REPORTED CAIRO. Oct. 20 (M-The Egypt ian'-owncd Middle East News Egypt has decided to give Jordan J jet planes and heavy arms. j ; ' V mi f Bulganin Asks TJ. S., Russ Ban H-Bomb Tests Letter to Eisenhower Urges ; Immediate Halt to Blasts LONDON, Oct 20 Wl Soviet Premier Bulganin has pro posed to President Eisenhower an Immediate U. S. Soviet agreement to ban H-bomb tests, Moscow radio said tonight. Bulganin used an argument advanced by Democrat Adlal Stevenson in the U. S. presidential campaign that violation ef such an agreement is Impossible because idenee now cad de tect atomic tests anywhere. I nope you will agree," Bulganin said la a letter to Eisenhower, "that should such agreement be reached on this matter there will be no particular difficulty in supervising its execu tion since with the present state ot science no atomic or hydrogen ex plosion can be carried out without it being recorded in other coun tries." - ' President Eisenhower has taken the position thera must be ade quate inspection safeguards before WASHINGTON. Oct, M W Presidential ores secretary Hag erty tonight said Pre niter Bul g aala'a letter to President Elsen hower asking tor aa agreement to halt H-bomb testing was "a prepagaada exereiaa rather than m serious attempt to achieve nderstanding between beads of governments." . .. the United States enters into any atomic test agreement with the Soviet Union. Seat Wednesday The proposal was in a letter Bulganin sent Eisenhower Wednes day. The letter said Bulganin had in mind "the question of atomic weapons and notably el the tests f these weapons. The letter, which was handed to Secretary of State Dulles In Wash ington, said such a discussion "is apt to take the form of polemics in the United States today as the election Is going on." Claims MIsrepreteBtatloa Bulganin added that 'in tome instances, official pronouncements are giving evidence of manifest misrepresentation of the Soviet Union's policy on these matters." This is, unfortunately, particu larly true of the atatements made by Mr. Dulles, who is not stopping short of direct atacks on the So viet Union and her peace-striving foreign policy," the letter said. Bulganut noted he and Eisen hower had exchanged views on the question of atomic tests at the Summit meeting in Geneva. - Step Forward "But since we have failed so far to reach any agreement on the question of atomie weapons, he added, "it appears advisable to try and weigh the available opportun ities once more so as to take a step forward toward reaching agreement on the prohibition of atomic weapons." The Bulganin letter appeared certain to have political repercus sions in the United States. The whole question of whether nuclear tests should be prohibited has become one of the top issues of the presidential campaign. 110 Schools Invited to Be In 1957 Spelling Contest Invitations to participate in the 1957 Statesman-KSLM Spelling Contest went to the principals of 110 mid-valley schools this week end.
