SILENT AFTER
SHELL BLASTS
Germans Claim Only Four
Sites Still Held by
Polish Armies
By ROBERT ST. JOHN
BUDAPEST, Sept. 21 UPt The
Warsaw radio lapaed Into sudden
silence early today shortly after
what sounded like the explosion
ot artillery shells could be beard I
through Its microphone.
The announcer had carried
on far into the night despite
the deep, . periodic rumblings '
until the station suddenly
went off the air ' half-way
through the playing of a Pol
ish military air.
Temporarily, at least, the only
communication between the German-besieged
Polish capital and
tbe rest of tbe world waa ended.
Silence came after tbe station
had broadcast a grim story of
Warsaw being shelled and
bynbed ae ewsssfi before aaMtpre-
dlcted "there probably Boon will
be a big ottensive againai ua.
The rest of Europe, which nao
been fallowing the 14-day tight
ot Warsaw's defenders througn
almoat ceaseless broadcasts from
tbe station, was left to speculate
on what might bave nappenea.
The studio is in the center oi
Warsaw. Despite German aerial
and artillery bombardment of that
area for almost two weeks, the
station had remained on tne
air day and night. It had gone
on oven while shells were iaiung
all around it.
Four times yesterday the warn
Inr wall ot air raid sirens could
be heard above the calm voice
of the announcer and four times
the drone of diving airplanes
came over the air.
The broadcaster said the raids
were conducted by squadrons of
30 German planes.
' His account of the siege In-
eluded another appeal to Great
Britain to help save the battered
city.
Betore silence aealed Warsaw's
fate, the radio reported a auc
cosatul attack against a German
force. But It also admitted de
vastating blows from German
cannon and war planes.
Still defiant. Mayor Stefan
Starainaki had appealed to the
capital's clttxens to persevere

BASEL, Switzerland, Sept. 21
(IP) German batteries pounded
enemy lines of communication
along the western front today as
reports ot swift night movements
by French troops hinted at plans
for a major offensive.
- Swiss military observers ex
pressed belief tho Joint French
British command now has de
cided on the point to launch the
first assault on the main forts
ot the Siegfried line.
Increased activity waa reported
on the part of both French and
German patrols, with the primary
object of taking prisoners and
gaining information concerning
troop concentrations.
These reports, and the tact the
French appeared to be consolidat
ing their positions Instead of at
tempting further local advances,
increased Swiss belief a great bat
tle is in the making.
Behind the Siegfried line the
the Germans were said to have
stationed motorized units In
strategic reserve positions from
which they can bo rushed to any
part of tho front when addition
al strength Is needed. '
Throughout tho night German
flares lighted up the no-man'a-land
