President Declares He Sees
No Public Interest
in Conflict

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Presi-

conference that since the United
States is not in the war it is not
going to go into 1t.
President Roosevelt said he saw
no public interest in this war;
Industrial and mobilization plans
meanwhile are being considered by
the various Government private
boards.
Frequent attempts Of reporters to
get the President to talk about the
war policy and industrial prepared
ness plans evoked only a presiden-
tial reiteration that such reports
have been brought up to date and
since this country is not a party
to the conflict, there is no reason
to make the reports public at this
time.

Great Britain and France reacted

The British government announc-
ed that Prime Minister Chamber
lain will discuss Hitler's Soviet
backed proposal before the House
of Commons on Monday.
Premier Daladier called the head
Defense Ministers of France and
Cabinet into an emergency session
with Commander in Chief Game
lin.
Informed quarters in Paris said
that Chamberlain probably would
fly to a point somewhere in France"
today for a third conference with
Daladier and the Allied Supreme
Council.
The attitude in both Allied Capt.
tails is one of defiance and determ-
nation.
Predictions are current tn
Chamberlain's statement on Mon
day will refuse the peace offer flat
ly and reiterate the Anglo-French
war aim of wiping Hitlerism from

PRESIDENT LOSES NO CHANCE
FOR KEEPING HIS REPEAL OF,
NEUTRALITY BEFORE PUBLIC
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has lost no opportun-
ity to play his side of the street. He
is constantly telling the public about
the reasons for repeal Of the neutral
ity act.
1t is a fair game. Opponents of
repeal expect the debate on the
issue to give them their chance to
tell the public why this country
should not revoke the embargo on
shipment of arms to belligerents.
Scarcely a press conference passes
these days but what the President
plants some new kiss Of death upon
the neutrality act. The State De-
partment and the President openly
oppose the measure, since they in
sist it gives an advantage to Ger
many by shutting off from England
and France the source of airplanes,
munitions and other war supplies
which their control of the seas
should entitle them to.
One observer commented that the
act was equal to giving Germany
an Atlantic fleet big enough to keep
British and French merchantmen
from reaching America for supplies.
That comment did not come from
the White House but it fairly sum-
marizes the Administration attitude
toward the act.

man Dies of the House Committee

ship lists of the German American
Bund, the Communist Party of the

furnished the persons responsible OF
withholding the information would
be prosecuted for contempt. He said

bership list to the Department of

the Communist Party and similar
organizations had many workers in
essential industries and ornaments
factories.
The only witness before the COM

ton in the United States. Emil Rev.

.tional organization has headquar-
tiers in Berlin and Vienna and has
worked for years to organize the

"SO-CALLED"

When the current European war
started, Mr.. Roosevelt gave the neu-
trality act a rough boot in the
breeches. His first proclamation OF
neutrality did not mention the law
at all.
The President took pains to call
that the regular neutrality" procla-
nation. He wanted to demonstrate
that the U. S. could have neutrality
without the statute.
Then followed the proclamation
under which Mr.. Roosevelt de-
scribed with an open show OF
distaste) as the "so-called neu-
trality act" That is the one which,
among other things, shut off arms
shipments to warning nations.
Developments of the war helped
also in his campaign. The "Athe-
mia" was sunk, reviving horrid
memories of submarine atrocities"
of the last war. And just to make
certain that the White House had
not missed the point, Steve Early,
the Presidents secretary, reminded
reporters that it should be noted
that there was no question that the

BLASTED RUINS
GREET GERMANS
Scattered Units Still Give
Resistance in Shat
tered Poland

BERLIN, Sept. 20. Battered,
wounded and miserable, some l2o,-
900 men of the Polish garrison
began raarching out of Warsaw to-
night, according to reports reaching
Berlin.
1t is understood the troops are
marching into captivity and the
Germans estimated it will take two
or three days before the capital is
emptied of it's surrendered defend
ers.
Although Warsaw has capitulated
in flames, small groups of Poles are
still offering resistance to the Ger
man forces, including about 2,0oo
troops on the Hela Peninsula.
Foreign correspondents in War
saw reported today that Warsaw
has fallen not to the German army
but to German air superiority.
Blasted to Cinders
Describing the surrender, one cor
respondent said: Blasted to cinders,
more than half burned to the bomb
wrecked pavements by incendiary
shells and bombs-thirsty after res
ervoirs were blasted and emptied
by high explosives and unable to
cope with spreading fires the heroic,
greatly outnumbered defenders of
the Polish capital finally-when the
last particle of hope was gone, asked
for an armistice.
The Warsaw radio station ad-
mitted today the surrender of the
Nty to Germany, with fighting
ceased and terms of surrender be-
ing arranged after three weeks suf-
fering under a terrific "a hours
daily rain of bombs and shells.
Occupation Tomorrow
German troops are not expected
to occupy what is left OF the former
Polish capital until tomorrow.
Official German news releases
said fighting in Warsaw had ended
Yesterday at noon when the Poles
submitted their offer to surrender,
and according to the Germans, the
order to cease firing came as Ger
man troops were locked in hand to
hand fighting with the defending
Poles inside the city.
Flames Shoot Upward
Although fighting ended yester-
day, the signs of battle remained
last night in Warsaw as flames con-
tinued to shoot skyward from many
buildings in the southern section
of the city, turned into a holocaust
by bursting German shells.
A shortage of water eliminated
any hope of extinguishing the
flames which are being allowed to
burn themselves out.
German reporters who accom-
panied officers negotiating surrend-
err terms, said that while German
bombardment had destroyed the
old fortified area of Warsaw, the
main residential district has not
suffered greatly.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sometimes we hear a person say
that some one else shut up like a
clam" in other words, did not talk
any more.
A clam never talks in the first
place but it does shut up. 1t has
muscles which can pull the two
parts of its shell together and hold
them tightly.
CE~ms'are found both in the sea
and in fresh water. Those which
live IN rivers and lakes often are
called fresh water mussels' or
river mussels."
Fresh water clans. like their
relatives of the sea, have feet and
can use them for walking. Each
clam has one foot With the shell
partly opened, the clam stretches
out its foot. The end is pressed on
the sand or mud at the bottom. and
then muscles work to pull the CLAIMS
body toward the end of the foot.
That Is how clam walks,
A clam, however. does little walk
ing. With the help of its foot, it
makes shallow hole in the sand
and partly buries itself. Then it
lies still, waiting for food. It draws
IN water and strains tiny bits of
food from it.
For time, the bits of food rest
on the clans gills. Then thew pass
INTO the little animals mouth.
