Even worse, a censor- s been clamped upon the news of all ship move- ts and cargoes of the belligerent Powers. That ;ag is on right in Philadelphia.

This mat- ter is one of much interest locally NO | as the project received due recogni~ tion by the last Territorial Legisla- ture which made an appropriation of $15,000 toward the cause, and an- other provision will have to be made to get that amount. Two alternatives present themselves to the Council: One, to start the originally proposed $23.000 structure with the Territorial appropriation and await further de- |velopment for donations to complete it or devise plans to make the build- ing to cost $15,000. Other letters presented to the Council by Clerk Charles Tuckett asked for service from city water mains to the Pfeiffer porperty on Front Street and clearance of prop- erty title to the Pusich property on | Fifth Street. A certified copy of lease on the cannery property was reported re- ceived and ordered filed. Project of having the old ware- house on the city wharf torn down for lumber salvaged from the struc- ture was favorably voted on with certain reservations. Delapidated condition of some sidewalks mas made the subject of considerable discussion, also the probable danger of leaving the old furnace pit at the former city hall site uncovered. Both of these mat- ters were ordered looked after. Semi-annual audit of city books was ordered for the close of the present month. e e MRS.

The German Chancellor flew from his field headquarters in the north to Bura, where one of the major battles of the German campaign occurred. After inspecting troops stationed in the area, Hitler left immediately. For the first time in many days the Warsaw radio station was not heard today. The silence is taken to indicate that it has been put out of commission by a German bomb. Since the German high command has made no claims to the capture of the city it was assumed that War-~ saw's defense forces are still in command of the situation. The Poles are also reported holding their posi< tions at Modlin, fifteen miles north of Warsaw and on the Hela Pen- insula. | | | | [ | Despite war conditions on the sontinent, Annabella, the actress- vife of Tyrone Power, goes home 1.0 France where her male kin has ')een called for military service.
