offer to France.
He declared, eve want nothing
from France" but confidently added
that Britain could not defeat Ger
many economically or militarily.
only America remains for Brit
ain" he said, but we can get on
without the United States-as a
source of raw supplies"
Unofficial reports said beleaguered
Warsaw had not fallen before the
Nazi steamroller tonight No claim
was made that Nazi troops now oc-
cupy the city.
The supreme high command an
nounced today that troops had en-
tered Warsaw; reached the Vistula
River, an important Polish defense
line, at four points and had gained
foothold on the Vistula's east
bank at Sandomierz. Sandomierz,
center of the Polish munitions in
dustry, is about 125 miles south of
Warsaw.
Lodz Fall Expected.
Lodz, the communique said, would
fall today although the bulk of
troops was passing on either side
of the city following the retreating
Poles south of the Bzura River.
Zwolen and Radon, so and 40
miles, respectively, west of Lublin,
were reported taken by German
troops pushing toward Lublin, to
which the Polish government moved
from Warsaw several days ago.
An official announcement tonight
said that German troops which
penetrated Warsaw yesterday and
today still were fighting within the
city limits.
In Galicia along the entire front
between the Beskid Mountains and
the Vistula River fighting continued
into the night with the Germans
pursuing the Poles toward the River
San, the announcement said. Here,
after hard battle, the Germans
reported that they had won the
Dukla and Krosno areas and that
farther north speedy troops had
crossed the river Wisloca at Rzeszow
and reached Kolbuczowa. This COL
umn was marching toward Lwow.
In the area west of the rivers Wis.,
tula and Pilica, heavy battles were
in progress east of Radon. The
Germans reported their advance in
the drive on Lublin was endanger-
ing the retreat of the Poles across
the Vistula.
Losses Small, NaziS Claim.
The high command announced
that despite the fact there has been
very heavy fighting at times, the
German losses for the first six days
for all troops of the eastern army
averaged nine dead and 40 wounded
for each 10000 men.
Marshall Goering said in view Of
German victories in Poland 1T is
beyond discussion that we will ever
return the industrial region" OBJ
servers said this meant that what
ever may happen to Poland later as
a result of bargaining, Germany will
claim Silesia, Pomorze, Pomerellen
and Danzig.

the Polish capital as drowned in

At 1905 pm. the Polish station
at Lwow came on the air with an
appeal to Polish women to fight side

appeal was broadcast earlier, plead
ing with Warsaw citizens to resist
invasion. The broadcaster identified
himself as Warsaw's mayor and said
he was speaking from the Warsaw
radio station.
The Warsaw radio admonished
the population to refuse to listen to
false reports" circulated by Ger
many which declared Warsaw had
fallen. The broadcaster asked the
Polish station at Lwow and Wilno
to tell foreign stations, particularly
in England and France, that Poland
still held Warsaw.
The broadcast attributed to the
mayor came at 7:20 pm, an hour
after the Warsaw radio announced
that although the capital was 'un-
der constant bombing, we will not
yield. We will hold out to the very
last minute"
Details of the Polish stand were
vague, but radio reports indicated
the city was taking battering from
German bombers. The sound Of air
raid sirens came through receiving
sets here on an average of every 20
minutes, with only few minutes
between the "all clear% signal and
a wall announcing new attacks.
Determined to Resist.
Broadcasters announced that War

the first "a hours of a virtual siege
by Nazi armies and was determined
to resist the invaders.
So far as could be determined
from the Warsaw radio, Polish
troops. backed by the civilian popu-

An entirely new and independent

made at the request of Commis-
sioner George E. Allen by large
Advisory Committee to be headed
by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent of George Washington Uni
versity, according to plans an
nounced yesterday.
Details of the scope or methods
to be employed in the new survey
have not been perfected, but it was
announced Mr.. Allen had urged DR..
Marvin to serve as technical ad-
wiser and to call on the university
faculty for aid in an analysis of
the best possible plans for the pro-
posed revamping Of the municipal
structure.
Competent Staff Ready.
In accepting the request. DR.. Mar
vim said he planned to obtain the
assistance of the best available pro-
fessors and other students OF gov
ernment economy and organization
as members of the Advisory Com
mittee, and that the group would
not be limited to members Of fac
ulty of George Washington Uni
versity. The size of the group has
not been determined, but DR.. Mar
vim said there were some 80 men,
bers of his faculty whose work or
training is related to the subject
of municipal operation or organ
ization.
Commissioner Allen has told re-
porters, in connection with the new
study, that he has no definite ideas
as yet as to just what should go
into the final program and that he
was leaving the formation OF the
survey to DR.. Marvin and his aides.
my thought was to obtain the
best possible advice and informa-
ton from all available sources on re-
organization of the District gov
ernment before the Commissioners

sibilities are all men of definite
opinion whose attitude toward all
the problems that involve the well
fare of the United States is an
nounced and definite. They may be
as far apart as the poles in their
views, but at least nobody has to
guess where they stand. The Re-
publican candidates, on the other
hand, are as vague in their policies
as the slumbering Glenn Frank
policy committee, which has been
in existence for two years and hasn't
been able to agree on the first
plank of a platform yet
The Cabinet as a Substitute
The Republicans may urge, and
in some cases have urged, that ex-
perience in government is not vital
for a President, that he can call
together great Cabinet to supply
whatever lack resides in himself.
One trouble about this is that the
people have nothing to do with
electing a Cabinet and, in such a
Cabinet as these opinionless candi-
dates might wish, they would pro-
bably bring in men of totally diver
gent minds, productive of chaos
of contrary advice. After all, a
President must be a President.
Naturally he will seek the counsel
Of his official family and such 9TH
er experts as occasion requires, but
he must be strong enough in him
self to differentiate between op-
poSite schools of advice and take
a course not because it is the view
point Of one of his Cabinet, unless
that viewpoint comedies with what
the President deems is best for the
national interest.
If the President should happen
to be minor figure, the real Chief
Executive will be some strong fellow
who dominates his mind. What the
country demands is President
, capable of exercising his own good
judgment and incapable Of being
overawed by any of those he brings
in to head the various departments,
on by the still more dangerous in
fluence of men or interests outside
the government. 1t may be that
among the Republicans is one who
might develop into such head of
the government, but there is moth
ing in the slender record of those
mentioned to promise such an out
come. The American people are not
likely to gamble on such a long
| chance as this.

there is nothing in the Constitu-

capable of being the kind of a

and render assistance, attempt ing to force his way through the. indictment weather, and on this errand of mercy, risked and gave his life that others might be saved.
 Since approximately one foot of snow had fallen between the hour of the crash and the time the plane was located, it is very difficult to say just what caused the crash, but since the Kaltag weather observer, only six miles away, recorded only a 300 foot ceiling at that hour, heavy snow, and with visibility less than one mile, it is generally believed by those viewing the wreck, that the. visibility of Pilot MiroW was SO limited that he struck the tops of tall trees at the west end of a small clearing while attempting to follow the phone line into Kal tag.
 Fred Chamber, Bert Lien, and Inspector Brunette, assisted by several Kaltag natives removed the bodies from the plane and they were taken to Kaltag arriv ing there at pm.
 The following day the bodies of Bystedte & Mirow were taken from Kaltag to Nulato by Pilot Frank Whaley where they were prepared for shipment to their respective locations, Mirow to Nome with Pilot Whaley & By stedte to Anchorage with Pilot Jefford. Heavy snoWstorms how ever, prevented plane move ments out of Nulato in any direc ton until today when Jefford ac companied by Chambers with a Stinson arrived with Bystedte's body at Anchorage &s1 accompanied by Mike Walsh arrived with Mirow's body at Nome.
 In the passing of Hans Mirow. the territory of Alaska has un- lost one of its most courageous pilots whose flying ability was recognized and ad- hired by all his fellow airmen.
