Indications of strong opposi-

nations to make purchases
here on any credit terms
whatsoever led to talk among
some administration senators
Saturday night of changing
the neutrality bill to a strict
“cash and carry’’ measure.
Senator Minton <D-Ind) the ma-

tion program, told reporters he
thought it might be advisable to
eliminate the 90-day credit provi-

fruits such as Duncan and Foster
pinks were most advanced in ma-

there will be little fruit moving

Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz. former
president of the Warsaw senate,
took the oath of office as Presi-
dent of the republic now divider’

He succeeded 71-year-old Dr. Ig-
nace Moscicki, who has been held
in internment in Rumania where
he fled before the German invad-
ers.
Dr Moscicki Saturday night
passed through Subotica. Yugo-
slavia. en route to France by way
of Italy. He travelled as a private
citizen.
Moscicki's resignation from the
presidency, which he had held since
1926. was announced thr ugh the |
embassy a few m .utes before the
new president took the oath.
Through the i r gu rat ion
A long line of bedraggled Polish soldiers, unarmed, marched
in good order westward out of the city. They had stacked their
guns. The first group of thousands of Polish soldiers, who held
the city until it was battered to pieces and forced to surrender
September 27, left Saturday night. The last are due to depart
Sunday night
Outside the city they are met by Germans and taken prisoner.
German troops are scheduled to occupy the city October 2. So far
no important body of Germans has entered the central part of

milled about Pilsudski Square and half a dozen automobiles were
seen in various parts of the city.

BUDAPEST — f/P)— Dis-
patches from Balkan capitals
Saturday night indicated
that Soviet Russia, under the
cloak of her newly gained
military advantages, con-
tinued to move swiftly in an
apparent plan to neutralize
the Black Sea area and ex-
tend her diplomatic influ-
ence throughout southeast-
ern Europe.
Russian - Turkish negotiations
have been followed closely by the
announcement that Rumania would
join in thg Moscow talks, leading
to the belief a Black Sea pact un-
der the direct guidance of Moscow
was being framed.
Such a pact, if signed by Rum-
ania and Bulgaria as well as Tur-
key and Russia, observers said,
would have immediate obvious
consequence of establishing Soviet-
German communications via
Black .Sea and *;’e Danube.
Soviets Are Dominant
Moreover, it would firmly estab-
lish the Soviet state as the domin-
ant influence in an area where
German influence has hitherto
pressed for advantage, it was add-
ed.
Rumania meanwhile reported
what was interpreted as a new in-
dication that Russia did not intend
any further military action for the
time being, relying instead on
“pressure” possible through her
newly gained frontiers.
Coincident with the announce-
ment that Gngore Gafencu. Rum-
aian foreign r.«inister. and a staff
experts would go to Moscow Mon-
day. it was reported without con-
firmation in Bucharest that Rum-
ania had received assurances
through a "third party" th.it her
Bessarabian frontier would not be
violated. Rumania gained Bessar-
abia from Russia at the end of the
World war.
Turkey Makes Move
Considered important in Russia's
new diplomatic achievements was
Turkey s report'd decision to re-
fuse to fight alongside Britain and
France in fulfillment of any mutual
guarantee pledges if the Soviets be-
came involved with the western
pmv ers.
Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru
Saracoglu was said further to have
agreed to close the Dardanelles to
warships of all belligerent nations,
thus neutralizing the Black Sea and
keeping Soviet-German communi-
cations intact
Forward-looking Interest center-
ed in Gafencu's turn to hear what
the Soviets had to say.
Observers said the fact remained
that the presence of Soviet troops
on Rumania's frontier afforded a
cold, hard fact which could not be
lightly ignored.

It was a sad sight, first in the late afternoon and then at dusk
as a red moon peered over the horizon casting a glow on the

At least one hundred fires were burning.
The largest was along the coal yard on the railway line to

Smaller fires could be seen burning in all quarters of the city.

Bitter fighting took place in Praga before the capital was
