Col. Adam Koc, leader of the Camp of National Unity, resigned yesterday from his post, the official Polish Telegraphic Agency announced today, and his successor is General Stanislas Skwarczynski.

Brigadier-General Skwarczynski, says the Havas News Agency, is a personal friend of Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz, virtual dictator of Poland. He took part in the struggle for independence and the 1920 campaign against the Soviet Union under Marshal Smigly-Rydz, as commander of the Wilno garrison. Although he has previously taken no part in politics, he is believed to represent more radical views than those of Col. Koc.
