He walked out of the hotel that fateful September night and disappeared so far as the Ger mans were concerned. Emerges in 1342 He emerged in 1942 as the commander in cnief of the Polish home army after his two prede cessors had been captured and killed by Germans. But he emerged cloaked in the pseudo nym of "Genera! Bor," a Polish word meaning forest and synony mous with the type of fighting he preached. His real identity has been so well preserved that only a hand ful of high-ranking Polish mili tary authorities know it and they guard it zealously knowing the Germans, if they knew the true identity of General Bor, might easily capture him. But without giving the Ger mans any clue, it can be stated that General Bor is an army ca reer man 48 years old, tall and with a dominating personality and a wonderful wit. Polish officers here who know him, consider him one of the most brilliant soldiers in Po land's history. Superb Leader As tactician, one high-ranking Polish military authority here said, Bor is one of the best. "His leadership," this officer said, "Is superb. Bor has done wonders with the underground army. He organized the first units in Sep tember, 1039, along regular ar my lines, and directed his own organization until he took over all home armies two years ago. "Bor organized officers' train ing schools and sent his men on maneuvers. Rifle ranges were set up in forest areas controlled by Polish guerrillas. Hospitals were set up with women as nurses. Bor found a use for ev ery man, woman and child who wanted to help free Poland. But until now, he only used his most highly trained .'oldicrs for spe cial guerrilla warfare and sab otage. But with the fight now in the open, Bur has brought his tens of thousands of soldiers Into the open."

BACK THE ATTACK1 BUY WAR BONDSI trolled by his guerrillas. But with the start of the Warsaw campaign, he moved into the capital and into a cavern which had been one of his secret hide aways. Here he directs the battle of Warsaw. A Polish underground courier formerly a staff officer in Bor's headquarters, said the hideaway is so well hidden the Germans will never find it. It is only a small place with rough walls covered with maps showing where various Polish divisions and regiments are op erating. Tiny red flags mark spots and areas. There is a sim ilar map in Pol.sh secret head quarters here in London which Is altered from day to day on information from Bor detailing the distribution of his forces. Couriers Used Bor uses couriers extensively to maintain contact with his forces In the field and contact with his commanders in the War saw fighting. A Polish military authority here said Bor also maintains close contact with Russian com manders whose armies are ap proaching Warsaw. On occasions, Bor personally slips through German lines to visit his units. His messages to his command ers are given orally to couriers as a safeguard against informa tion falling into the hands of the Germans. Two or three times daily, Bor sees that the population of War saw knows of the progress his troops are making by the use of Jr., and Elizabeth Ann Bunnel. Barclay Leon Thomas and Katherine Gianaclis.
