Interest increased in Japanese operations, which seemed increasingly to indicate the possibility of a real attempt to break through the Australian defenses, pour through the 8000-foot mountain pass, ‘and sweep down to the south toward Port Moresby, the great allied advanced base on the south New Guinea coast.

* Dispatches indicated that the Australians had succeeded so far in holding the enemy to the area of Kokoda village, down the northern side of the mountains, but it was evident that the Japanese were increasing their pressure steadily, Down at the southeastern tip of New Guinea, Australians under Maj.

DEATH FOR ALL POLES HELD AIM
Hitler Has Given Order for Extermination, Envoy Tells Press Club.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (U. P.).— Germany's plans for extermination of other nations are not mere theoriés but actually are being put into - effect, Jan Ciechanowski, Polish ambassador to the United States, said today at an Overseas Press club luncheon. He joined with Harold Butler, British minister in Washington, in commemorating the third anniversary of the outbreak of the war. German “slave drivers” in Poland, the ambassador said, have admitted that “they are instructed by their fuehrer, Hitler, to see to it that by the year 1950 there shall not be one Polish soul in the areas at present placed under their authority.” It is an application of the principles of Werner Best, head of the gestapo’s “legal” department, who has proclaimed, Mr. Ciechanowski said, that “historical. experience has shown that the destruction and elimindtion of a foreign nationality is not in the least contrary to the laws of life, provided that such destruction and elimination are complete.”
Not Mere Theories
- “We must realize,” he said, “that Germany's ' declared plans for the extermination of other nations are no mere theories. They are daily being put into practice, and every day, every hour, every minute, sounds the death knell of nations and races.” Mr. Butler asserted that there is nothing left but to “fight to the death” the renewal of the “old German .claim that right was might.” British and American ideals of peace and freedom, he said, have been “confronted once morg by the German ideal of violence and conquest, the contempt for the Chris= tian faith and its gespel of love and charity, the subjugation first of Europe and then of humanity by the master-race glorifying in its barbarity.”

congressmen, who have been home;
ing for re-election, will re next week and cast their votes on
absentee ballots. The 12 Indiana members voted
house. But it now comes back from the senate amended to lift any poll tax restrictions imposed by the states. This amendment was opposed by Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.). Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) was not on hand for the senate voting. He.also is in Indiana and is expected to return next Wednesday, his office reports.
Minority Opposes Tax
The anti-poll tax amendment had complete support of the' G. O. P. minority in the senate and that leadership has now been taken up by Rep. Joseph W. Martin (R. Mass.), minority leader in the house. ‘Opposition to lifting the poll tax comes from the southern states and is led in the house by Rep. John Rankin (D. Miss). A bill dealing directly with the poll tax is before the senate judiciary committee, of which Senator VanNuys is chairman. It was because this matter is thus being dealt with that he opposed tacking it on as an “unconsidered amendment” to the soldier vote bill, the senior Indiana senator explained.
Back Repeal Bills
The national committee to abolish the poll tax, which has headquarters here, is asking that these special poll tax repeal bills be passed by both houses. They urge
ing the 15 signatures now needed to bring such bill before the house on a discharge petition. Rep. Martin has not signed the petition. Nor have these congressmen from Indiana: Reps. John W. Boehne Jr., Democrat; Charles A. Halleck and Forest A. Harness, Republicans. All other Hoosiers have signed it.
