(Continued from Page One) artillery was reported brought up to stand off a strong Nazi attack on Lwow, in the southeast. In Paris, the Polish Transcontinental Agency reported a Lwow broadcast charging that German air raids over Poland had killed 20,000 civilians and that refugees had ‘been machine-gunned by low-flying Nazi planes. The speed of the German drive eastward through Poland put the Nazis in a dominant position in far more than half of the country and advanced so rapidly toward the Soviet frontiers that an early showdown appeared likely on the Russian Government's role in the European war. ! Nazi circles in Berlin were pleased by yesterday's editorial in the Communist Party mouthpiece, Prav da, at Mogcow, which was regarded as preparing the way for possible approval of another partitioning of Poland. Buffer State Hinted : Hints that Germany and the Soviets had reached an agreement on Poland came from Nazis in the German capi« Ital, but whether the suggestions were wishful thinking or ‘the result of recent conferences between Soviet representa« tives and Nazi military leaders was not indicated.

| “Despite unfavorably weather, the Air Force successfully railways and stations, and by bhombing and attacking at low altitudes, supported the Army in battle against the enemy surrounded at BKutno. ... Jtalian war correspondents writing from the German-Polish front near Lwow indicated that the next strategic move of the Germany Army would be an attempt to block a Polish retreat to Rumania. Enrico Altavilla, of the Rome La Tribuna, said “the situation is desperate, and soon Lublin will be encircled by German troops. War material is continually being sent [to German troops as the High [Command has decided to continue (the battle with all means at its disposal.”
Says People Are Starving
Describing a trip from Lodz to Lwow, Sig. Altavilla said that inhabitants in villages along the road |were starving. “Along the road.” he wrote, “we met columns of refugees from villages in groups of three or four leading a thin cow, driving a small herd of sheep, carrying household goods such as cushions, bedsheet, holy pictures and things dear to them. “They found their homes destroved by fire, so they remained in the streets, a number of them in pain. Women and children were thin and pale, but it must not be believed that this was the result of a few days of hunger. For many months in the frontier zone the population has suffered from the pangs of hunger. For many they have forgotten the heal and for days, the taste of bread. “I gave bread and bacon to one poor woman, but she was unable to eat it because she hadn't eaten { for four days and could not swallow food.” The Giornale d'Italia correspondent, Carlo dall 'Ongaro, said in a dispatch yesterday, “at the present moment troops have not entered Lwow, but the city is surrounded {and her fate decided. On the roofs of many houses I can see white flags.”
