GEN. Dor CAPTURED
IN SIGHT OF REDS

LONDON. Oct. 5.-RELt. Gen.
Tadeusz Komorowski, Gen. Bor)
leader of a guerrilla army crushed
in the streets of ruined Warsaw
In a 63-day struggle, was captured
bv the Germans less than week
after the Polish government-in-
exile had named him Polish COM
mander in chief.
A German report that the gener-
al and his entire staff had been
taken prisoner after the death or
capitulation Of their army Monday
within sight of Red army troops
across the Vistula was confirmed
by a Polish government spokes-
man. whose words reflected sor-
row at the loss but pride that
Komorowski had shared the fate
of his surrendered remnants.
At the same time the spokes-
man said the development gave
the lie" to the assertion last Sat-
urday by the rival Soviet spon-
sored Polish National Liberation
committee that Komorowski h a d
ordered the ill fated uprising Aug.
/ and then sought safe shelter 10
miles outside the capital.
Prime Minister Churchill paid
tribute in the House OF Commons
today to the patriots of Warsaw,
saying their uprising which failed
despite supplies dropped by Brit
ish, American, Polish and Soviet
fliers, would remain deathless
memory for Poland and for the
, friends Of freedom all over t h e
world"
Edward B. Osbuka Morawski,
president OF the rival Polish group
organized in Russia, had charged
that Komorowski was a criminal
against the Polish people" Osub-
ka-Morawski commended that Ko-
morowski was responsible for fu-
tile uprising which cost scores Of
thousands of lives.
Moscow dispatches have estimat-
ed that as many as 100000 Poles
died in the struggle but a Stock
holm dispatch today quoted tn e
German controlled Swedish tele-
graphic bureau as saying that So
600 Poles were killed in the second
battle Of Warsaw.
The Polish spokesman here said
that the government still was in
contact with the underground ar
my in Poland.
A Polish telegraph agency dis
patch said the Polish underground
had uncovered German plan to
'soon massacre all prisoners in
Oswiecim, largest Nazi concentra-
ton camp in Poland, to eliminate
war guilt Witnesses"

stocks and bonds continued to hold
the buying play in today's market
while industrial leaders generally
maintained the timidity exhibited
throughout the week.
Fairly steady tendencies persisted
among shares at the opening and,
while near closing gains ran to
fractions in most cases, there were
a few wider movers among liquors
and isolated blue chips. Dealings
picked up at intervals and transfers
for the two hours approximated
100000 shares.
Investment as well as speculative
demand for the transportation sec
tlon still was credited largely to the
shelving of the wage question in
this field, return of the roads to
private ownership and the belief net
income would remain at a pleasing
level for some time after the arrival
OF peace In Europe. The fact most
OF the systems have put themselves
in a stronger financial position dur
Ing the past year or so by sharply
reducing debts also appealed to
bullish contingents.
Earnings prospects and dividend
hopes served as props for individ-
ual issues. Some customers. though,
were hesitant about stepping too
far out on limb because of the
current Government bond drive and
little skepticism over the foreign
diplomatic situation. Others in
clined to await completion of the

Current developments bearing

Current developments bearing
out this conclusion are:
The Foreign Missions Conference
of North America at its 50th an
nual convention earlier this month
issued message to Christians, "
which stated:
I'VE are deeply conscious of our
failure as Christians to arrest /"
the forces of intense nationalism,
racial pride, trust in force and de-
sire for domination. We acknowl-
edge in penitence that some of these
evils are found in the church itself
The institution to which men might
turn in their WEAKNESS and pain is
itself in need of salvation. We of
the churches have failed in our
own life adequately to demonstrate
that unity and fraternity without
which there can be no justice or
peace among the nations"
Revision Needed.
A test sampling of ministerial
opinion, conducted by the Commits
sion on the Church and Minority
Peoples of the Federal Council of
Churches, reveals that clergymen
feel revision is needed in the
church's attitude toward racial and
cultural minorities in this country
Replying to the question, "Is there
need for the church to change
any of its policies or practices with
regard to racial and cultural minori-
ties?" 50 per cent of the respondents
answered yes; ~ per cent, NO;
IL per cent said the church should
practice what 1t breaches and 7h
per cent were noncommittal. Asked
to indicate what customs needed
revision, the clergymen specified
racial segregation in church life,
social snobbery and class distinc-
tion,' inadequate local fellowship
with minorities and un-Christian
attitudes"
The annual meeting of the Home
Missions Council of North America
last week received a report from
the councils co-secretaries urging
a rejuvenated home missions enter
prise, divorced from the "old rou-
tines" of prewar years and prepared
to face with new techniques the
complicated problems arising out
Of the present war emergency.
There can be no return to the
missionary task in the precise form
in which it existed before the war;
