FRIDAY, JUNE 86 1812 HINT MASSACRE OF POLISH JEWS
Nazis Use Portable Gas Death Chambers, Say Refugees.
By DAVID M. NICHOL Copyright. 1942. dy The Indianapolis Time: and The Chicago Dally News. Ine. LONDON, June 26.—Out of the gray horror the Nazis have made of Poland came new evidence today of the systematic extermination of the Jewish population with the death toll from various causes now estimated at more than 700.000. According to a report sent through secret channels to repregentatives of the Polish national council here, disease and starvation are allowed to operate to the fullest extent. Where these means are considered insufficient or slow, massacre tactics often are substituted, these sources say Use Portable Gas Chambers When the Nazis attacked Poland,

The original German plan was altered only after Gen. Neil M. Ritchie's attack on Rommel’s cen- | ter which led to annihilation of British shock troops on their own minefields. Even after this, Rommel anticipated at least three weeks of resistance at Tobruk and got the surprise of his life when the port fell. German hopes in the success of their Near East plan, informed circles believe, now is somewhat dampened by the dread of a see‘ond front somewhere in Burope, {compelling the Nazis to draw upon their already diminished reserves,
DEADLINE IS NEAR ON OL’ ACCOUNTS
WASHINGTON, June 26 (U. | —Persons with unpaid charge aecounts dating from before last May 1 have just two weeks left to clear, their bills or face default, the federal reserve system said today. The federal reserve's consumer | credit regulations, issued May 6, re« | quire all charge accounts to be paid in full no later than “the 10th day of the second calendar month following the calendar month during which” the charged purchases were made. The regulations classed all charge accounts unpaid before May 1 along with purchases made dur= ing May. Hence all the “old” aecounts must be paid in full by July 10. Old charge accounts not paid in full by that date will be declared in “default.” This means the c¢us= tomers credit will be stopped by the merchant holding the unpaid bill. A default, once imposed, can be lifted by one of three methods: 1. Payment in full of the amount of the bill; 2. entering into a written agreement with the merchant to pay the bill in regular instalments within six months, the payments to be not less than $5 a month or $1.25 a week; 3, filing with the ereditor a statement that payment within the six-month period would work a hardship and then entering into a written agreement to pay off the bill within 12 months. Instalment sales are not affected by the approaching July 10 deadline on charge accounts,

CHICAGO, June 26. — Comfort and safety of passengers will be provided for in Chicago's new $6&= 000,000 subway by the most modern electrical equipment, engineers were
told by Charles BE. DeLeuw of the Chicago department of subways and superhighways at the meeting here of the American Institute of Elec» trical Engineers. At almost every station escalators will relieve the strain on weary feet. Bight and 10-foot fans will bring in fresh air. Soft fluorescent light will illuminate the stations and platforms, while incandescent lamps will light the tunnels. Modern lightweight cars, seating 106 persons and carrying 200, will speed Up to 45 miles per hour, smoothly and quietly over welded rails. Only regret is that these new cars will not be ready at the time of the expected opening early in 1943, Temporarily, older cars will have to be used. The new subway is expected greatly to relieve congestion in downtown Chicago's Loop.
