Guards were working overtime to strengthen each shift, Officials sought to pin down the ringleaders of the demonstrations and cells were searched for meat cleavers and kitchen Instruments which disappeared during the first revolt Wednesday. Demand "Collective Bargaining" The demonstrations started when Warden Luke Murphy turned a deaf ear to the four point demands of a "collective bargaining" committee which asked that the state prison and parole board revise its attitude toward paroles and that punishment for disciplinary infractions be relaxed within the prison. A group of prisoners took control of the dining room for several hours Wednesday, holding 15 at bay, raiding the kitchen, preparing themselves a picnic lunch and laughing and singing until guards regained control of the situation and returned them to their cells. The unrest reached a climax Saturday night when the prisoners set fire to their mattresses, broke the windows in their cells and threw lighted newspaper torches Into the yard. Threaten Starvation Murphy refused to let the men leave their cells or to serve them food until the demonstrations quieted.

They were given their first meals In their cells Sunday after the outbreak subsided. Murphy promised a "thdrough housecleaning" and threatened to again invoke more stringent disciplinary measures which he relaxed several years ago. The prisoner's "grievance committee" had demanded that the parole board change its policy of not granting paroles until two- thirds of a maximum sentence is served and turn the prisoners loose when they have served their minimum sentence. They also demanded that officials cease withholding as a disciplinary measure the 25 cenUs a day they are paid in prison factories, remove guard escorts from prisoners under discipline, and extend to inmates inside the prison the five days a month good behavior time given prisoners who work Outside the prison walls. Russia (Continued from Page 1) "completely avoided and ignored" the question of the Curzon line and therefore "it cannot be considered otherwise than as a rejection of the Curzon line." Establishment of the Curzon line as a post-war frontier would result in Russia giving up more than 7,000 of the 77,700 square miles occupied by the Red army in September "As to the proposal of the Polish government on the opening of official negotiations between it and the the soviet government, the soviet government believes this proposal was Intended to mislead public opin- Simple?

"It is not difficult to understand that the soviet government cannot enter into official with a government with which diplomatic relations are Interrupted owing to the fsult of the Polish government because of Its active participation In the hostile anti-soviet slanderous campaign of the 'Katyn murders' launched by the German invaders. "In the opinion of soviet circles, the above circumstances demonstrate once more that the present Polish government does not wish to establish good, neighborly relations with the Soviet Union." Russia severed relations with the Polish exile government last April after the Poles asked the International Red Cross to investigate a German propaganda claim that a mass grave of Polish officers slain by the Russians had been discovered at Katyn, near Smolensk. Russia denied the charge and asserted that the Polish officers had been slain by the Germans.
