TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, October 23, 13S8 grounds for charging Russia with violating human rights and freedoms in the U.N. But none seemed to be thinking seriously of moving along that course at present. Russia Recognizes Gomuika's Rise To Power in Poland U.S. Not To Offer Assistance To Poland Until Requested Retention of Rokossovsky Said To Be Price Paid Warsaw 'U.R) Russia today recognized Wladyslaw Gomul ka i rise to power in Poland. Un official reports said the price was retention of pro-Russian Marshal Konstantin Rokossov sky as minister of national de fense. News of the Soviet acceptance of Gomulka, the once-disgraced "Titoist," was expected to end the panic that hit northern Po land with the appearance of So viet warships in Polish waters, and to end the wild rumors of Russian troop movements that swept the country. The Soviet government organ Uvestia and the Soviet Com munist Party organ Pravda gave the stamp of official recognition to Gomulka by publishing news of his election as first secretary of the Polish United Workers (Communist) Party. Rokossorskr Not Mentioned This, in Communist practice, makes Gomuika's leadership a fact of Soviet history. News of the publication in Moscow's of ficial organs was received here at dawn. Neither mentioned that Rokossovsky had been dropped from the ail-powerful Commun politburo. News of the Polish upheaval was having a tremendous" effect in other East European coun tries. Budapest dispatches reported Hungary in a ferment. Observ ers in Budapest believed events would move fast with the intel lectuals and students demanding that Hungary follow Poland. There were demands for the re turn of Imry Nagy, the "Gomul ka" of Hungary. Belgrade dispatches said Mar shal Tito, the man of the hour in the revolt of the satellites, was meeting today with a delegation from Romania. He finished up talks wiih Hungarian leader Erno Geroe Monday. AH eyes ist politburo. land. Reprints Criticism In Moscow the Soviet Com ' munist organ Pravda reprinted a Polish newspaper criticism of President Eisenhower but failed to mention the attack on Pravda by the same Warsaw publication. By quoting the fditorial in Trybuna Ludu, and Izvestia gave to the Rus sians the first substantial report of developments in Poland. Observers said Moscow's prompt publication of the new Polish leadership would go far toward calming the fears set off Monday when a group of Soviet warships entered Polish waters near Gdansk (Danzig). The Polish Sejm (Parliament) meets today to start work on rompletely new election laws. First reading of the new law was expected after the Sejm gives a formal welcome to a parliamentary delegation from Yugoslavia. Unwilling To Create Tension Possibility that Rokossovsky would be replaced as minister of national defense during the parliamentary session appeared remote now. Gomulka was re ported unwilling to create ten sion by relieving the man who now coordinates two separate armies within one nation, the Polish and the Russian. Observers did believe Rokos sovsky would be replaced be fore Gomulka takes his regime to the people in the free elec tions he promised to hold on Dec. 16. Today's session of the 425 Parliament members was sum moned this summer long before Gomulka emerged as Poland's new leader. Gomulka was unable to participate in the assembly he is not a member of the Sejm. UTHUAN1AN . POLAND y SOVIET Jl Of UNION ''Or. . GERM. .

Dewey said Monday night presidential hopeful Adlai Ste venson and Russian Premier Bulganin appeared to be in agreement on the hydrogen bomb issue. "It is shocking that Bulganin proposes we give up the tests with no provision that Russia also give them up." the former governor of New York said. "This proposal is identical with ' the one that Stevenson made." ! The former governor arrived i here in a campaign swing on be- i half of the GOP ticket. He was ! scheduled to speak this after- noon and tonight at Republicyi rallies in the Los Angeles area. By RUSSELL JONES United Press Correspondent Frankfurt. Germany U.R) "Stalinists" men who still sup port Soviet Russian domination are still hanging on grimly to leadership in most of the East European satellite countries. Hungary seems likely to be the first to follow the path to ward "Titoism" independent communism which Poland has taken. Romania remains Stalinist so far. But a delegation of Romani ans is in Belgrade now talking over the situation with President Tito of Yugoslavia. This seems to be the line-up at the moment: East Germany: Stalfnists seem firmly in control. Walter Ulbricht, vice premier and real East Germany leader, has been under attack by party members for blindly following the Stalin line. But he himself has joined in the debunking of Stalin. He seems to have beaten down his enemies, with the help of Pre mier Otto Grotewohl. An indi cation of continued Stalinist domination is that "Red Hilde" Benjamin, minister of justice, still has her job. She is called the most hated woman in Ger many, and she is merciless against "enemies of the regime." Czechoslovakia: President An lonin Zapotocky and Premier Viliam Siroky, both Stalinists, remain in power. As in all satel lite countries, there has been some softening from Stalinist dictatorship. Defense Minister Alexej Cepicka has been ousted, and is reported to be managing a state farm. Some "Titoists" have been released from prison. Others, more prominent, have been "rehabilitated" and re stored to good standing. But it didn't do them much good they had been hanged long ago. Romania: Leading Stalinists, who also are outspoken "anti- Earth Cave-in Kills Worker at Portland Portland ,'U.R) William S. Davies, 53-year old ironwork er, was killed yesterday after noon when a sudden cave-in bur ied him under tons of soggy clay while he was working on the Morrison street bridge pro ject. Fellow workmen and fire de partment emergency crews worked for 15 minutes before they could uncover the buried man. He was pronounced dead a short time later. Officials said Davies was placing reinforcing steel at the bottom of a 30-foot excavation for the footing of the new bridge across the Willamette river. A side of the footing suddenly gave way pinning him under the clay.

They in clude Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who gave up the prime ministry : to become first secretary of the j Communist party. Both Gheorghiu-Dej and Chivu Stoica, who i succeeded him as premier, are in Belgrade now talking to Tito. 1 Whether the Polish rebellion will lead them toward Titoism remains to be seen. Ana Pauker, once Romania's most powerful Communist, was purged and fired as foreign minister. But her downfall was a matter of internal party politics. Bulgaria: A Bulgarian delega tion visited Tito recently. But it was said after the talks that "some problems remained un solved" apparently indicating that the Bulgarians are not ready to follow the Titoist line. Premier Vulko Chervenkov was purged as a Stalinist-type dicta tor and was succeeded by Anton Yugov. Hungary: Hungary is ripe for rebellion. Former Premier Imre Nagy. purged as a Titoist, has been restored to good standing, as have other leaders. Some high Communist leaders have been arrested as oppressors. Budapest university students threaten to stage demonstrations unlcs their demands for liberal ized government are met within two weeks. There are strong in dications that Hungary will go Titoist soon. Pretty Girls on TV Named in Divorce Suit New York (U.R) A pretty brunette today sought a legal separation from her ex-paratrooper husband on the ground that he was too loving and un duly excited when he viewed pretty girls on television." Mrs. Eleanor Cunningham, 31, testifying in a suit, said her hus band, C. Neville Cunningham, 36, "immediately demanded that I submit to him" after the chorus lines appeared on the TV screen. She said she lost weight and had to give up her outside interests. Cunningham, an advertising executive, counterclaimed that he "was too tired during the week" and that he demanded affection only on week ends. Injured Seaman Sues Owners of Mariposa San Francisco (U.R) Jean Leonardi, 26-year-old seaman, has sued the owners of the Mat son Jiner Mariposa for $150,000 for injuries he suffered when the new liner ran into rough water on its maiden voyage. In a suit filed here Monday, Leonardi charged . Oceanic Steamship Co., and Matson Navi gation Co. with negligence and failure to keep the sleek new liner seaworthy. Leonardi, who was making his first voyage as a seaman, claimed he suffered a compound fracture and concussions when he was struck by an oil barrel which had broken loose on the after deck. Leonardi is now in the Marine hospital here. The Mariposa was tossed about Oct. 17 while crossing the Co lumbia River bar en route to San Francisco on her maiden voyage. A CLOSE ONE Lewiston, Me. (U.R) The closest contest in Maine's Sep tember election was for the of fice of sheriff of Androscoggin county.

But officials said that when and if a Polish request for help does come, the United States probably would look favorably on it unless it was a call for armed help. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles warned Sun day that sending U.S. troops to Poland likelv would set off World War HI. Leaders Seek Aid A group of Polish-American leaders called on Dulles Monday to give "the Polish government all- assistance possible short of troops." "Now is the auspicious time for the United States to seize the opportunity to press immedi ately before the United Nations for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from ' Poland," Charles Rozmarek, president of the Pol ish National Alliance and Polish American Congress, said. He also said the United States should offer Poland food and technical assistance. Cite Warsaw Pact But American officials were not inclined to take the initia tive in either offering aid or go ing to the United Nations, They said they saw little ground for going to the United Nations to demand withdrawal of Russian troops from Poland.
