WARSAW IS STILL FREE
PARIS, SEPT. 28 (UP).—WARSAW HAS NOT YET }SURRENDERED.
THIS CLAIM WAS MADE TO-DAY BY THE POLISH AMBAS- SADOR IN PARIS. HE HAS RECEIVED A RADIO REPORT FROM THE POLISH HIGH COMMAND, ́ EMPHATICALLY DENYING REPORTS OF THE SURRENDER OF THE CITY, AND CLAIMING THAT FIGHTING WAS STILL IN PROGRESS AT 10 A.M. (5 P.M. H.K.T.).
The defenders of Warsaw did not capitulate outright to the Germans, but requested a 24-hour truce.
The Germans refused to discuss any question except outright capitulation.
The report is substantiated by the Trans- continental Press Bureau (official Polish news agency) which announces that the soldiers defending Warsaw are insisting on resistance to the end.
The report admits that the civil authorities in Warsaw are urging the surrender of the wrecked city. HONOURABLE TERMS
