German Commander Re- fuses 10 Surrender
 Will Die in Defense
WHITE FLAGS HUNG UP
 IN SURROUNDING AREA
Ring Around City Is Tight ed-BaiiIes Raging
 Underground

LONDON, Oct. ll.--Massed Am erican big guns and dive bombers opened an assault to destroy Aachen today after it's commander rejected the surrender or die ultimatum.
 Heavy eight-inch guns, 155 milli- meter Long Toms and l05 millimeter howitzers thundered in an oblitera- tion barrage, while bombers hurtled down on the surrounded city.
 City's Doom Sealed
 By refusing to accept the 24-hour ultimatum of unconditional sur render or complete destruction, the German commander sealed the doom of the city and it's 1900 Elite Guard troops.
 Gunners loosed the first salvos at noon, one hour and ten minutes after the expiration of the ulti- matum.
 As test case, Aachen indicated that Nazi leadership will see it's cities destroyed rather than yield.
 WHitc rags appear
 White flags appeared over many of the ancient buildings of Aachen before the ultimatum expired. but they were apparently hung by ciy- ilians. Hundrds of civilians and a handful of troops moved under the truce flags to the American lines. but these came from outlying DOT tions of the city away from the immediate control of the enemy gar rison
 Hide in Cellars
 It is estimated that 15,000 civilians are hiding in cellars in the already badly damaged city, the remainder of Aachen's 165.0o0 population.
 As blows to level Aachen began, First Army men closed the ring tighter about the city and to the north seized Scharfenbergfardenburg and advanced to Wurselen, and mop ped up Germans in the southern part of Haaren, northeast of Aachen.
 Battle Underground
 South of the. siege city, Third Army men and Germans battled underground in the winding tunnels of Fort Driant. before Metz, rico- ehetting bullets off the walls. Dough- boys and Germans are so close they can hear each others orders in the fierce struggle. Surface positions in the fortress continued unchanged.
 Enemy Chased Out
 Farther south, Americans have virtually cleared the enemy out of Parroy Forest and scored gains east of Luneville and Epinal. A house. to-house fight is on for Maiziere, six miles above Metz.
 Canadians sliced the main high way connecting the Schelde estuary island of South Beveland with the Dutch mainland. looping oil the escape route for thousands of Ger mans there who have prevented the Allied use of Antwerp port.
 Beachhead Widened
 To the southwest, other Canadian infantry widened their Scheide River beachhead to four miles and drove three miles inland in backdoor as- sault on the Germans below the Schelde's mouth
 The Allies heavily bombarded the holdout port of Dunkerque.

Hull Reveals Policy j
on Bolivian Tin 4

WASHINGTON, Sept. % GNS)
A definite policy looking To-
ward removal of the government
from private business was ex-
pounded by state department of
ficials today, in the procurement
of strategic materials from for
eign countries.
The question has arisen In dis
cussions with the Bolivian govern
ment over purchases of tin from
that country. The state depart
ment has definitely rejected a
Bolivian proposal for a govern
ment-to-government contract, de-
claring that private business must
take over the operations.
Officials explained that the Bo-
livian case was typical Of policy
newly adopted now that the end
of the war is in sight. IT is a
policy. they said. which will ef-
feet the whole range Of govern
ment procurement from foreign
countries.
Negotiations are now in prog
ress with Bolivia, under which
that government desires an in
crease in the price of tin from GO
TO Sc cents pound and a new
three-year contract.
The proposal has the significant
feature that the United States
instead of buying tin from the
private Bolivian producers, would
buy from the Bolivian govern
ment. and part of the revenues
would be used for program OF
social reform in Bolivia.
American officials said today
that. though the social reform is
highly desirable, the United States
government cannot commit itself
to buy tin for a longer period
than the probable length of the
war.
