(UP)—Opposition parties, angry at the government's handling of war news, planned to make a vigorous attack on the ministry of information in the House of Commons today.

and to demand immediate changes , in the ministry of information to insure fuller and quicker publication of war news. Prime Minister Chamberlain was expected to reply for the government ! and to make a full war statement | after the first 10 days of hostilities against Germany. He was expected to make it clear beyond doubt if any doubt remained that Britain and France were determined to smash Hitlerism regardless of the cost or the time. It took the British 15 years to overthrow Napoleon a little over a century ago. Chamberlain had gone to France | yesterday to talk to Premier Ed- . ouard Daladier at the first meeting j of a new supreme allied war council. | It was Chamberlain’s first official airplane flight since he went to Munich to accept Hitler’s terms in the first Czechoslovak crisis. To Munich he took his umbrella, to France yesterday a walking stick. The anger over the official handling of war news was a sign that Britain was getting fully into the

war.

MANY KILLED BY JAPANESE PLANES CHUNGKING, China, Srpt. 13.— (UP)—A foreigner from Luhsien, 94 miles from Chungking at the terminus of the Yunan-Szechwan highway, said today that 27 Japanese bombing planes destroyed one-third of the city Monday, killing more than 400 and wounding 500 civilians. There were no medical facilities until Tuesday, when they were rushed by airplane frojn Chungking, he said, because the Canadian Mission J hospital .the only hospital in the city, was destroyed by a direct hit.

CRASH ENCIRCLEMENT (fonf Inlinl from PnC* Onrl army carried out a number of successful sorties. The southwest army of Poznania. which in good order after having fought a lumber of fierce engagements against enemy forces blocking its way to the east, not only succeeded in establishing liaison with Polish forces southwest of Warsaw but also in retaking the city of Ixidz (population 653,000 : 60 miles southeast of Warsaw). "On all other fronts the enemy is being held in check, unable to ma.ee any headway.’’ On the basis of that report, the German army besieging Warsaw from the southwest, which already had been driven hack several miles according to Polish dispatches yesterday, was now in a precarious position. The Poles at Lodz could, at least theoretically, attack it from the rear. This German southwest army had smashed through upper Silesia almost to the outskirts of Warsaw, and an official German announcement last week had asserted that it had penetrated to the center of Warsaw. The left Bank of this German force had taken Lodz. Now, the Poles were reported to have driven this flank back and to have retaken Lodz, putting them in position to start a rear attack on the main body of Germans concentrated a few miles southwest of Warsaw. The defenders of the Polish capital had been holding the German north army in check at Modlin for several days and according to today’s communique, they now had been reinforced by the army that escaped from Pomorze. Thus relieved, residents of Warsaw were reported to have resumed much of their normal life. Many shops were said to have been reopened in spite of the fact that air raids had devastated much of the city. The Warsaw radio also said that Russian anti-aircraft guns had shot down three bombers with Polish markings, flying over Russian territerritory. Some of the planes' occupants, taken alive, were found to be Germans and the planes also were German, disguised as Polish. A Moscow bioadcast, picked up here, said that the Poles had repulsed the Germans at Marymant,, near Wars^ w, and captured two German tanks. Heavy fighting was under way at Suwalki, in northeast Poland, but there was no change in the general situation, the broadcaster said.

PICTURE ARMY from One) that Field Marshal Hermann Goering. air force commander and Hitler's official heir, has gone to the eastern front To inspect Nazi air units. It is known that Hitler has twice visited the casern front. His second visit was made in his private airplane which was landed near Lodz to enable him to watch operations of German motorized columns closing in on Warsaw from the southwest just one day before Polish artillery forced those German columns to halt the drive. The German army is operating without the new divisions created in Austria and Bohemia. It consists of four main army groups; Berlin, Cassel, Dresden and Liepzig. The fifth group is the Vienna group. Each group is divided into an unequal number of corps. Each corps consists of a different number of divisions, plus motorized units depending on the terrain to which it is assigned. Most corps consists of two or three divisions of the active army (conscripts undergoing normal two year service terms) plus an equivalent number of territorial troops contained in the first Landwehr and econd Landwehr (first and second reserves) in addition to older reserves. In addition the active army contains a number of separate brigades if armored forces, motorized cavalry, tanks and mountain troops. There are now seven generals who ihare direction of operations of the main units.
