WARSAW—Anoient crossroads
of conquerors—once again is in
the path of invading armies. It
has been a vortex of military
conflict for centuries but always
has risen from the rubble. Now
there is but little left of the city
to destroy The Nazis saw to that.
Yet Warsaw is the new focal
focal point of the war in eastern
Europe.
i The last battle of Warsaw
with a 27-day sieze when the Na
zi legions crossed the frontier on
Sept. 1, 1939. One of the first
things the Luftwaffe did was to
bomb the capital and by Sept. 6
the Polish government evacuated
the city
The garrison stood. The War
saw radio appealed to citizens to
dig in By Sept. 9 heavy artillery
was shelling and German planes

continued to bomb the city. On
Sept. 13, it was virtually encircl
ed. On Sept. 16 the Germans sent
an ultimatum, but tne city re
fused to surrender. On Sept. 27
it finally capitulated.
During the siege the German
air force and heavy artillery kill
ed an estimated 60,000 civilians
and wounded 100,000. Of 20,650
buildings in Warsaw half were
: wholly or partly destroyed.
r The first to invade the city,
after it became the Polish capital
in 1550, was King Charles Gus
tavus of Sweden who captured it
in 1655 and kept it for a year,
when the Poles recaptured it.
The city suffered damage when
King Charles XII. of Sweden took
it in 1702; the following year,
peace made it a free city again.
The Russians first seized it in
1764; lost it in the first partition

of Poland in 1773; retook it in
1794 after a bloody assault. In
another partition in 1795 Warsaw
was given to Prussia.
' Napoleon occupied it in 1806;
the following year it was made
an independent duchy. Then the
Austrians took possession of War
saw in 1809, from April to June,
and again it became Independent.
The Russians again possessed the
city in 1813 and held it through
insurrections and other disturb
ances until 1914 when the- Ger
mans captured it.
With the breakup of the Ger
ma narmy in 1918, the Poles set
up their own government and for
the third time Warsaw became
the capital of an independent
Poland.
| Then the destruction of 1939.
j With +he aid of large scale maps,
on which were marked Warsaw’s
fine buildings, its historic monu
ments, churches, public gardens,
J museums, castles—reflecting the
! old Polish nobility—the Nazis
! proceeded with their methodical,
' bombardment.
Whether the road leads to Mos-1
cow or to Berlin, war’s path cuts
through the city, his veteran of
total war is about to receive an
other shock treatment.

OPA ACCEPTS
CONTRIBUTION
A payment of $1,000.00 to the
U. S. Treasury has been accepted
by E. P. McCarron, rent director
at'orney for the Alaska Office of
Price Administration, from the
Lind-Dudley Hotel in Anchorage.
The records of the Lind-Dudley
Hotel were examined by the OPA
recently in the course of an en
forcement drive which involved
all the major hotels in the Terri
tory. Violations which occurred
prior to uly 1, 1944, were noted
The OPA had suggested to the
Lind-Dudley Hotel that if it
wanted to make a restitution, and
found it too difficult to trace its
patrons, its record could be
cleared by making a voluntary
contribution to the United States
Treasury in an amount equal to
the excess rents charged.
In a statement accompanying
the offer of contribution, the
Lind-Dudley Hotel admitted thatj
it had filed a registration estab
lishing rental rates higher than
those actually charged during ’
the base mon4h, which are limited
to the highest rent charged for a
room in the 30-day period ending 4
March 1, 1942.
""According to Mr. McCarron, an
audit of the records of other ho
tels in the Territory has been
made, and voluntary offers of
contributions have been accepted
by the OPA from hotels in Fair
banks, Anchorage and Ketchi
kan in cases where the violations
were believed to be the result of
mistake and error rather than
wilful intention to violate rent
ceilings. Cases of wilful viola
tions will be turned over to the
Enforcement Division for puni
tive action. ^
