POLISH CRISIS ENDS
NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF LONDON, Sept. 30 The Polish President, M. Rackiewicz, has decided to relieve General Sosnowski, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, of his post following the demand put forward by the Polish Cabinet. It is understood that General Bor-Komorowski, Com-mander-in-Chief of the Polish Home Army, will take his place. This change brings to an end the crisis in Polish governing circles in London, which came to a head when General Sosnowski made his illadvised Order of the Day disparaging the assistance brought by the Allies to the defenders of Warsaw. The new Polish military chief in London, General Kupanski. is remembered as commander of the Polish troops who shared with ihe British the epic defence of Tobruk during eight month of the siege in 1941. The Times says that until General Bor is able to take over the post General Kupanski, Chief of Staff of the Polish Forces, will deputise for him.
