 No Permission
 Registrar of Voters Albert Faiier said that he knew of no permission given to distribute literature on be- half of the city manager plan in the city hall. The mayor likewise he said he had given no such author ization.

Riga, Latvia, Sept. 7-(UP)-Word came out of Berlin today that Poland had fought and lost it's Bat tie of the Alamo"
 For four days I watched that bat tle--the attempt of Q handful of Poles in the Westerplatte fortress on Q spit of land near Danzig to repel air, sea and land attacks by German forces. The saga of heroism ended, according to advices from Berlin, when the garrison surrendered to the Germans at l0:20 a. m. today.
 Almost every war produces some isolated act of heroism such as this one-the Greeks at Thermopylae, the Americans in the little Texas mission called the Alamo, the forces of Franco who held the Alcazar at Toledo during the Spanish civil war.
 At the Westerplatte, 1t was said, some of the chivalry of medieval warfare returned in the midst of modern, mechanical warfare where the rules are of.

 Thanks to conscriptlon Britain will be able to give us millions of men little by little," announced pro- paganda Minister Jean Giraudoux.
 Many British air squadrons are today in our provinces cn duty with our own"
 French official communiques were most reserved. But reports from Luxembourg and Switzerland, north and south of the active front, inc dicated that the French had made considerable advances in an opera tion which seemed only in its open- ing phase.
 As many as 600 tanks were used ill one operation alone among sey- eral on the front, at tie northeast corner of France. according to re- ports.
 Crack Troops Not Moved

 French troops were understood to have attacked in several sectors,
 The northeast corner area vas se- lected, 1t was believed, because the frontier at that point Is not marked by a river, and the French troops and tanks were able to advance through wooded hills directly cnf1 the German advance lines.

Warsaw Residents Are Fleeing From Capital
Rumble of German Artillery Heard in Distance-GOv- ernment Moved to Lublin, 100 Miles Away;
 Germany Claims Big Advance

The government had moved to Lublin, 100 miles southeast, and the foreign embassies were closed. A large force of Germans was report ed spreading out on line 30 miles north of Warsaw and the city seem- ed destined to come under artillery fire, perhaps in a few hours.
 The absence of government spokesmen meant that there were no reports on the progress of fight ing elsewhere in the country, ex- cept as broadcast infrequently and semi-otficially by the Polish radio.
 Discouraging News
 Discouraging news was brought by refugees now arriving from cities as distant as LoGz, SO miles west. The arrival of German troops near Lodz mean that the whole southwestern industrial district had been cap- tured. The refugees. too, created a new problem here. Most of them had come in automobiles with only enough gasoline 10 get this lar and no means Of proceeding There was no gasoline for sale here.

 For All Time
BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)

London, Sept. 7-(UP)-Britain's nine-man war cabinet has deter mined to smash Hitlerism for good now that the new war has started, it was reported today.
 Count Edward Raczinski, Polish Ambassador, after conferences with Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, and Winston Churchill, first Lord of the admiralty. was understood 10 have reported to his government that the war cabinet had untlinch- ingly determined to smash Hitler ism.
 The influential times. regarded as frequently reflecting views Of high officials quarters, said today tnat Hitlerism must be ended.
 Particular interest attached to Raczinski's report and to the Times editorial because of reports that had circulated in Europe that some sort of peace move might be made by Germany or in Germany's behalf as soon as Adolph Hitler felt that hls armies had penetrated sufficiently into Poland

 It was there that the first shot of the war was fired.
 The German naval training ship SchlesWig Holstein steamed into position early last Friday, trained her heaviest guns on the Wester- platte and blasted away. All day Fri day Danzig harbor rang with the roar Of cannon and the scream Of big shells battering away at the Poles.
 At night the Westerplatte still was resisting.
