MAYOR CLAIMS CITY'S BUDGET ~ ‘UT TO BONE

Only Hope to Lower Rate Is in Bigger Share of State Revenue, He Says.

When It comes to taxes and the City budget, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan leads a Jekyll-Hyde existence, he revealed today. Speaking as a taxpayer, the Mayor told the Indianapolis Real

Estate Board yesterday he thinks|

the present City, County and township tax rates “are tremendous.” But speaking as the City's chief executive, he said: “We have cut our City budget to the bone.” Seeks More State Money

As Mr. Sullivan the taxpayer and Mr. Sullivan the Mayor view the situation, the only immediate hope of reducing local taxes is to get a larger share of State revenues for Indianapolis. “We do not receive a fair portion of the money we pay into the State,” he said. “Let us select legislative candidates who will get us our fair share of revenues.” The Mayor blamed the relief and welfare load in the county as the

WARSAW NEWS TWO DAYS LATE

‘Most of Army Has Not Yet Met Germans,’ Polish Generals Insist.

EDITOR'S NOTE-—The following dispatch from the United Press correspondent at Warsaw was delayed Later indications were that all Polish Government, foreign embassy and newspapermen were leaving Warsaw, presumably for Lublin in the direction of the Rumanian frontier,

WARSAW, Sept. 8 (U. P.) —Polish military leaders declared today (Wednesday) that Poland's armies were intact, in good spirit and ready to fight back against the German invasion “when the time comes strategically to join in battle.”

“A majority of the Army's erack divisions have not yet been sent into action,” it was asserted in | authoritative military sources after the capital had fought off the most severe Nagi aerial bombardment of the war. The Nazi planes, screeching toward the city in long power dives, rained heavy bombs—some of them apparently 1000 pounds—around the

Vistula River bridges but failed to | destroy them. (An announcement in| Berlin this morning—Friday—said | that the Vistula bridges later had

been destroyed.) No sooner had the raiding planes turned back than police began con- | scripting able-bodied men to dig) trenches. Some girls were in the units seen marching through the | streets with shovels over their shoul- | ders, either to dig air raid ditches

His

physician indicated that he might be injured internally. Mr. Painter was using the trae= tor and a mower to cut grass when the machine overturned on him as it struck a high bank. His brother, Ingle, who was working with him, dug a trench at his side and then rolled the pinned man’s
