today with a statement that
"our hearts go out" to the Polish
people in their struggle.
The President spoke in Denver
while in Washington the State De

bassador Ttomuald Spasowski for
a 20-minute conference with Dep

Murphy asked Spasowski spe

chev to the Warsaw government
to the effect that "if vou don
obey we will crush you "
Spasowski is said to have told
Murphy that he knew nothing
about the ultimatum report and
was unable to comment upon it.
Reports of tank and troop move
ments bv Soviet forces have been
pouring into the State Depart-1

channels as well as in news ac-

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ed withdrawn and returned to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.

the region of Poznan moving to

Letter to Eisenhower Urges ;

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

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.
