Peace plans were heard in Eur

Conciliatory words came from
high sources in both London and
Berlin as. only day after Polish

Reliable sources in London dis
closed that a small group of in
fluential British leaders were adj

plan, even more important than
what Berlin describes as The
Hitler Plan" for solving the DAN

This positive" plan was des-
efibed in British sources as having

programs of the past and. in fact,

totalitarian war threat this summer

one and in London and Paris the military experts did not believe there were any real signs that 1t was cracking under the German onslaught. They pointed out that nobody had expected the Poles to hold the Corridor against the full force of German arms, yet the Nazis still have not succeeded in clearing the Polsih defenders from various points such as the Hela peninsula and the Westerplatt fort near Danzig.
 Furthermore, the Polish army had planned in advance to withdraw its main forces within their natural strategic defenses behind the Wis., toula and Bug rivers, avoiding heavy sacrifices by attempting to fight the German mechanized army on hat terrain.
 Allied experts did not view the German thrust from the south as having made as rapid progress as the Nezis had expected, but 1t was admitted that loss of CSestochova to the Germans was severe ploW to the Polish defense plans in the south.
 Polish Capital Evacuated
 The Polish capital was being eva cuated and the government moved southeastward as a great battle developed on the banks of the Vistula.
 France, fighting of two more air raids early this morning, reported her troops advancing against Ger man forces in the Rhineland, pre- sumably in the Moselle Sector where Luxembourg reported cannonading was heard.
 Great Britain opened a campaign against Nazi submarines in the North Sea, the English Channel and along the Atlantic coastal areas, re- i.. nkk

eral U-boats. Three German ships were sunk and the British lost a merchant vessel-the Bosnia, which was shelled by submarine.
 The British government, which mysteriouSly held up news dispatches for several hours during the night set up a ministry of economic war fare to clamp down blockade on German supplies similar to the blockade that eventually won the World War. Officials predicted that it's paralyzing effects on German economy would be felt within few weeks.
 Bombed Berlin
 Polish general staff announcements said that 30 Polish airplanes bomb- ed Berlin but the Nazi government insisted that no raiding planes had yet reached it's capital. French news paper dispatches reported that the Allied powers had heavily bombed the German Rhinelands industrial sectors, especially Eschweller and Stolberg.
 Italy indicated she would cling to her neutral status as long as pos sible and her business was booming as a result of the war,
 2he swift drive by German mechanized troops, especially tanks, into the heart of Poland emphasized the determination of Adolf Hitler now on the Vistula front--to att tempt lightning" war in the cast so that he might be free to fight or make peace with Great Britain and France in the west.
 The German forces apparently had carried out the first phase of their campaign almost on schedule as their northern army sliced of the Polish Corridor and Slasned south- ward from East Prussia to a line ex- tending roughly from Ciechanow to Plonsk, 3l miles from Warsaw.

war. It has not been proclaimed iii the war between China and Japan
 President Seeks Revision
 The president made 1t clear at a press conference that he still desires the revision of the neutrality law to eliminate the arms embargo. He re- ferred to the law as tfie "so-called' neutrality law.
 In third proclamation, he added new safeguards to the Panama Canal zone. He limited the time belligerent warships may remain there to 24 hours, exclusive of the time required to pass through the canal, and de- creed that no more than three war ships of one belligerent nation and its allies may be present simultane- ously in terminal ports of the canal, or six at any time anywhere in canal waters.
 Guards on All Vessels
 The governor of the canal was empowered to place armed guards on all vessels passing through, and to require commanding officers of all ships seeking transit to provide writ ten assurance that rules. regulations and treaties of the United States will be faithfully observed.
 These restrictions reflected the fear of military authorities that in event of hostilities some merchant ship might be blown up while mov- ing through a critical stretch of the canal.
 Among other bans embraced in the proclamation was a prohibition against flights of belligerent aircraft of any character over the canal zone, and against the embarking or disembarking of troops, munitions or "warlike materials" in the zone, except when required by canal au- thorities.
 No Fund Collections
 Another potential source of em- barrassment to this nations neutral ity-the solicitation and collection of funds in the United States to aid belligerents-was hit in rules and regulations issued last night by Se:- retary of State Cordell Hull.
 He banned such activity except for Humanitarian purposes. Collections for this purpose must be approved by the president and those so en- gagged must be licensed by the state department.
 The American Red Cross is exempt because 1t makes an annual report to the war department.
 The penalty for violation of this rule is a fine of $50,000, five years imprisonment or both.
 These proclamations were the fore- runners of nearly score prepared by government experts as part of a general plan to insulate the United States.
 Other proposed regulations would be directed at the stock markets, grain exchanges and the communi- cations industry.
 The federal communications conl- mission is expected to announce new radio regulations this week. They would prevent commentators from dealing harshly with any of the bel- ligerents. it was reported, and may require that the radio chains an- nounce to listeners when news or comment passes through foreign censorship or originates at stations operated by foreign government.

 PARIS, Sept. 6 -- (UP) - The newspaper Midi, in an unconfirmed dispatch, asserted today that allied airplanes had heavily bombed the German Rhineland industrial cen- ters, principally around Aix La Chapelle.

 SHANGHAI, Sept. 6 - (UP) - Wang Ching-Wei, former premier of China who broke with Generalissi- mo Chiang Kai-Shek because Wang desired to negotiate peace with Japan, today blamed Soviet Russia for war in Europe.
 Writing in the Chung Hwa Jih Pao-the central China daily news paper-Wang said that in negotiat- ing a non-aggression pact with Moscow Germany broke faith with the anti-Comintern powers. War would not have broken out in Eu- rope, he said, if Russia had not signed with Germany.
 LONDON, Sept. 6 - (UP)-Lady Astor is using a gas mask case which contains compartments for purse, hpstick and compact.
 A smartly dressed young woman appeared in Piccadilly followed by an Aisatian dog carrying her gas mask by leather strap.
 Smart restaurants and bars, which have been nearly empty since the war started. have begun to fill again. The Savoy hotel grill was crowded by staff of1icers in uni- form, and theatrical celebrities such as Noel Coward.
 In Birmingham, 800 bus conduc- tors needed for war duty are being replaced by women, who will be paid the same wages as the men. Two women applicants appeared at the transport departments office in cars driven by chauffeurs.
 Some theaters and cinemas were allowed to reopen, provided they arrange to warn patrons when air raid sirens sound.
