Rokossovsky Takes Seat In Polish House
Received Wednesday, 10.35 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 8. Reuter's Warsaw correspondent reports that Marshal Rokossovsky, the Warsaw-born victor of Stalingrad, took his seat on the Government front bench in Parliament there today after the House had approved his appointment as Minister of Defence and commander of the armed forces. The Prime Minister, M. Josef Cyrankiewicz, announced that Marshal Rokossovsky had accepted Polish eitizenship. In Germany, the British-licensed Telegraf comments: "The speed with which Marshal Rokossovsky has taken up his new role in Poland shows that the Kremlin considers speed a necessity. The next few days will show whether the Kremlin also intends to place Foreign Ministers at the disposal of ts satellites."
