Summary
The German high command as
serted last night tliat Warsaw had
1 "capitulated unconditionally" af
ter 20 days' land and air bom
bardment. Berlin added that the
"handing over" of the capital
"probably will occur" Friday.
About six hours previously the
Warsaw radio hud announced the
city still was holding out, al
though it was a "dost roved infer- 1
no."
The Western Front had an ar
tillery duel between French and
(Herman big guns, (ierman shells
went four miles into French de
| serted towns.
French fire was concentrated on
the Hornbach salient , where
French infantry approached (Her
man fortifications, and on the 1
Saar region.
(?ermany announced a "success- :
ful" mass air attack on British
capital ships In the north Sea,
with the (?eriiians "destroying"
an aircraft carrier and scoring I
I important hits on a battleship.
The First Lord of Britain's 1
Admiralty, Winston Churchill,
-aid "no British ship was hit,"
and asserted one (ierman flying
boat was shot down and another
"reported badly damaged."
The Soviet government an
nounced that the Russian steamer
Metallist had been torpedoed and
sunk by an unidentified submarine
off the northern coast of Kstonia.
German Foreign Minister Joa
chim von Kibbentrop arrived in
Moscow amid unconfirmed reports
that a Soviet-German military
pact was under consideration. He
began conferring with Premier
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslaff
Molotoff.
Germany was reported by
French dispatches to be speeding j
concentration of troopfc on the
Western Froht as a club to induce
France and Britain to discus?
peace terms.
The Paris dispatches said Fue
hrer Hitler was preparing to make
a formal pcace offer based on the
status quo in Poland, perhaps be
fore the end of this week.
The British government impos
ed upon the country the heaviest
taxes ever levied in an effort to
meet an estimated $8,000,000,000
of expenditures for the current
fiscal year.
To help finance the war against
Germany, the government called I
on rich and poor alike, raising the j
standard income tax from 27.0
per cent to 87 .A and hoisting
levies on beer, sugar, wine, to- I
bacco, whiskey, estates, surtaxes
and excess profits.

^ In Making
Wake Forest, Sept. 27. ? While
Coach Douglas Clyde Walker, the
inimitable dictator of gridiron
warfare at Wake Forest College,
realises that his Demon Deacons
rate at least a toss-up with almost
any team in the Southern Con
ference, according to press dis
patches, he also remembers the
little slips that meant so much
last season ap<$-tp the two games
alrealfy pi*/?d by the Deacs this
year. C
That'* the >cason Walker Is
drilling his boysVall this week on
those little thlngk, as a part of an
extensive preparation for the dog
fight conflict pkxt Saturday at
The Rhoades Family by^Squier
THE EMPTY PAY-ENVELOPE? Automotive Una in the United State* average
?tore thaa $50 per ear annually. Mora thaa half ef the natloa'* motorists earn
lea* than $30 a week. If motor taxea were collected in one lump tun, many
motorist* would have empty pay-envelopes two weeks ef the year.
.
Chapel Hill with Raymond B.
Wolf's University of North Caro
lina Tar Heels. One thing that is
being stressed primarily is pass
defense, for the Wake Forest men
tor knows well that a deceptive j
pass play over Carolina way is as |
common as fried chicken on Sun- ,
day in Dixie.
The Tar Heels, as always, have 1
a football sky studded with stars. !
Severin and Mallory, veteran ends
snagged passes last season and
against the Citadel last week with
the surprising regularity of a new
dollar watch. Slaglt* and Kimball j
are revered tackles to Heel back
ers, to say nothing of Woodson
and Abei nathy who capably serve
at the guard post.
And the backfield picture is
even brighter for the Heels. Be
cause of the syrupy sweet Lalanne
the swivel hipped lad up from the 1
Bayou country, and General
George Stirnweiss, Carolina fanB
look forward to a pleasant 'after- j
noon this Saturday. Then too. a
good pair in anybody's backfield i
are Bobbitt and Sadoff, and well 1
does Wolf know that.
But to say the Heels possess
more downright good talent than
does Coach Peahead might be
climbing out on the limb too far.
His backfierd, composed of May
berry, Polans Ringgold and Gal
lovich or Edwards, will certainly
stack up with any in the Southern
Conference when it comes to lug
ging the ball.
But that second edition of the
four horsemen does not far ex
ceed their team mates in the for
ward wall, who are: John Jett
and Ed Woolbert, ends; Tom
Tingle and Louis Trunzo, guards;
Butch Clark, center; and Clem
Crabtree and Rupert Pate, tackles.
Pate, who bails from Goldsboro,
is captain of the Deacon squad.
Which saga, simply told, means
that Coaches Wolf and Walker
could well hold a joint worry fest
this week. But you needn't count
on that. At both the Chapel Hill
and Wake Forest games Saturday
there* were enough scouts to or
ganize a large troop. In this case,
he who hesitates is lost.
