At the moment, a fight is under
way between two factions of the
Communist Party—officially, the
United Polish Workers Party—on
the extent to which liberalization
shall be carried.
Two Factions
Premier Josef Cymnkiewicz and
Communist Party First Secretary
Josef Ochab lead one faction,
which favors radical liberalization.
Leading the other faction is Lt.
Gen. Kazimierz Witaszewski, chief
of the army's propaganda section.
This faction wants to stop the lib-
eralisation program, partly be-
cause the program necessarily in-
volves a loosening of Poland's de-
pendence on Russia.
There seems little chance that
the anti-liberalization faction will
win out. The government's admis-

DALLAS, <FJfv—A new lmnsry
bus, planned by Continental Tfail-
wnys.to lure travelers away from
airlines, railrouds and private cars,
was on a test run from Dallas to
Houston today.
The new German-made "Golden
Eagle" bus features free snacks,
hostesses, reserved seats, back-
ground music, free pillows, con-
tour seats with three way adjust-
able headrests, magazines, year-

hardly be repudiated. Further, to
stop the measures the govrnment
is taking to improve living condi-

least a semblance of authority

The commission Wednesday or

The action was taken at the urg-

whom have resorted to pipeline

only a percentage of the allowed
production.

Three trials which are to start
in Poland Thursday are likely to
take a step further in the trend
toward liberalized rule in Russia's
most important satellite.
Twenty-three men are to be
charged, in three simultaneous
trials, with murder, assault, at-
tacks on official buildings and
theft of arms.
The trials stem from the big
riots which broke out June 28 in
the industrial city of Poznan.
But none of the strikers in the
factory where the riots started will
be among the defendants.
The Communist government has
abandoned its original allegation

| that the strike and the resultant
I riots were fomented by foreign
agents.
Had Legitimate Grievances
It has been admitted officially
I that the strikers had legitimate
| greviences—intolerable living con-
ditions and bureaucratic misrule.
Dispatches indicate that every
attempt will be made to show that
the defendants are members of an
anti-Communist underground or-
ganization or common criminals.
It may be taken for granted that
most if not all <of the defendants
will be convicted.
The sentences imposed on them
may give a further indication of
the extent to which the Polish gov-
ernment intends to loosen its tight
grip on the lives of the Polish peo-
l'1' Fifty-Three Killed
Fifty-three persons were killed,
including soldiers and policemen,
and more than 300 wounded in the
riots.
As things have turned out, the
Poznan riots were much more im-
i portant than those which broke out
in Communist-ruled East Germany
and Czechoslovakia in June. 1953.
They have led to a government
shake-up. a curb on the interfer-
ence of the Communist party with
