Refugee Vessel Sunk by Germans WASHINGTON. Aug.

21-(P)- The war refugee board said today reports from five survivors indicated that the Turkish motorship Mefkura, carrying refugees from Romania to Turkey, was shelled and sunk by German surface craft on August 5 in the Black Sea. More than 250 passengers perished in the sinking. The survivors, John W. Pehle, executive director of the Board, said are now en route Polish Count, Visitor Here, Sees Small Nations in Postwar Union Count Stefan Karol Ostrowski, member of the Polish consulate. said here last night that smaller European countries after the war will be less "stupidly selfish and nationalistic" and will look toward a federation of states with mutual interests to maintain the ideals of freedom expressed in the Atlantic Charter.

"There is a hope now that Poland will unite in some form of federation with Czechoslovakia when the war is won for the mutual benefits of both countries." He added that the Polish populace is predominately agricultural (about 70 per cent) and the Czechs are mainly industrial. Praises U. S.

"We hope that Poland some day will accomplish that high standard living." said, attain it, she must see two generations without war." Poland, he said, has experienced a terrible depletion in industrial and economic progress and what he termed a "horrible setback in culture." "There is no doubt," he surmised, "that the balance of power has shifted from Europe to America. The United States now has the best artists, the most brilliant writers and the best teachers.

It will take Europe many years to recover from this war." Outlines Security Plan Count Ostrowski outlined a plan which he believes would he an ideal solution to the threat of domination by larger countries in Europe. The plan would include the formation of a loose federation, at first, of the countries in certain sectionsfor example, a federation smaller nations in the East, one of western nations, and larger powers as separate units. Then closer federation would follow As the countries became accustomed to the idea. "That is the present trend everywhere in Europe Count said, "but it would undoubtdly be a slow process." Sees Socialistic Poland He further predicted that after the war a socialistic type of government would exist in Poland and her sister nations. He said it will probably closely parallel what Queen Wilhelmina has planned for Holland whereby the would confiscate and run factories! until economic order has been reestablished.

Count Ostrowski, himself a landowner in Poland. discounted talk of feudalism in Poland. "This is. as you say in America, the Sunk," he asserted. "because only 15 per cent of estates in Poland are over 50 Since 1936 Count Ostrowski has Churchill Says None To Try Tyranny Again ROME.

De Gaulle Arrives The arrival of Gen. Charles de Gaulle at Cherbourg indicated that the fall of Paris itself could not be long delayed.

"There will be many' surprises in store for the fleeing remnants," Montgomery said, and the official silence cloaking operations in the bridgehead and around Mantes, kept the harried German command guessing what these surprises might bee.

American and French battleships stood off the coast and slammed hundreds of big shells into German shore batteries between the two big ports, catpure of which would give the Allies two badly needed landing points for essential material and supplies.

The strength of the German force holding Toulon was not known, but the fierce quality of the resistance being put up by the enemy indicated the naval base was heavily garrisoned. As Maj. Gen.
