Detroit Feels
Coal Pindi
Dealers Begin
so Ration Fuel
Unless the present soft coal
Vtnke is settled within the next
three or four weeks. Detroit will
fare the worst coal shortage in
its history, Fdward C. Crowley,
area manager for the Solid Fuels
Administration, said today.
“There Is no Immediate dan
ger,” Crowley said, "hut a con
tinuation of the Strike would
ultimately lea\e us with the
problem of either closing fac
tories or letting homes go cold.”
Although official rationing
ended after V-J Day,, voluntary
rationing has been started by De
troit coal dealers at the request
of the Solid Fuels Administration,
Crowley revealed.
FOR!) IMPORTS Ci \S
The Ford Motor Co announced
that its gas supply had been cut
25.000.000 rtibir feet daily and
that it had been forced to bring in
liquefied protane gas at three
times the cost of the gas cus
tomarily used.
Other large manufacturers said
they had not been affected but
would be if the strike continued.
All soft coal mines ea«t of the
Mississippi River are on strike,
Crowley explained adding:
“Any coal loaded before the
• trike (darted plus production
of occasional Isolated mines is
being held for emergency pur
poses.
NOT F.NOf'CiH FOR AM.
“This means that railroads,
public utilities, food processing
plants, hospitals and \essels
will have first call on the coal.
After that we will have to de
cide If factories will operate or
homes go cold.
“There won't he enough coal
for both if the strike continues.
"It Is my own |n*rsonnl opln- i
lon. however, that th** strike J
will not continue that long. De
troit Is in a very fortunate post
tton. as we have enough coal
on our docks to last three 7>r
four weeks.”

Yalta Turns !
Poles to GOP
By JOHN CREECY
Polish-America ns, who voted
solidly Democratic in the last
presidential election, have
changed their political complexion
as a result of their motherlands
shabby treatment at the Yalta
conference.
“If an election were to he
held tomorrow, the Polish-
American vole would go to the
Republicans,” was the consen
sus among top officios of the
Polish - American Congress,
which concluded its annual
meeting last night at the Fort
Shelby Hotel.
Although the congress’ official
comment on the question was lim
ited to a politely worded resolu
tion, it was made clear unoffi
cially that the feeling of the
6,000.000 Polish-Americans for
whom the council claims to speak
is exceedingly hitter.
FDR’S FOOTSTEPS
“If the Yalta conference had
, been held a year ago, Presi
dent Roosevelt would have re
ceived almost none of the Polish-
American vote and might have
been defeated,” said a congress
official.
“For some weeks after Tru
man became president, the
Pollsh-Americans hoped that
he would take a Arm stand on
the question of justice for Po
land, hut It seems apparent now
that he is merely following in
Roosevelt's footsteps.”
I The attitude of 170 delegate?,
who came from 28 states lo the
meeting, led to a gag motion
which would have prevented
members of the executive hoard
from publicly taking a stand on
I American affairs without permis
sion of the hoard.
| Charles Rnzmarek. president of
the congress and prominent in af*
i fairs of the Democratic party in
Chicago, was criticized for having
lent his name to Roosevelt * cam
paign last fall.
HE’S RE-ELECTED
The gag motion was defeated,
[however, and Rozmarek was re
flected without notable opposi
i tion.
i Also re-elected to the execu
tive hoard were Vice Presidents
Frank Januszewski dT Detroit,
publisher of the Polish Daily
News, and Dr. Theophil Starzyn
<ki of Pittsburgh and Treasurer
Jjohn J, Olejmc/jik of Chicago.
New officers were Vice Presi
dents Ignatius Nurkiewicz of
Brooklyn. Dr Jan Dziura of
Salem, Mass . Wladyslaw Tolpa of
Gary, Ind., and Secretary Honor
ata Wolowska.
