Sun Scores 82 Degrees Yesterday Evades Opposing Clouds and Dodges Shower; Cooler Today The sun tried a dash around right end but was smothered by two opposing clouds. Sol then dropped back into the end zone and at tempted to kick out.

No, we aren't crazy. It's just that football was in the air yesterday when we sat down to write a story about the heat wave. Anyway, the sun, after being checked by an expert cloud defense through most of the morning and then thrown for a loss by a hard-charging September shower, broke through and scored heavily. The Newark weather bureau said the summer heat would be of short duration. The mercury climbed 20 degrees in 12 hours, soaring from a low of 62 at 3 a.

m. to a high of 82 at 3 p. and then dropped slowly. The high temperature was accompanied by great humidity which added to the discomfort. Rutgers University ushered In Its football season meeting Wesleyan on a soggy field under a torrid sun.

LOCHNER BERLIN, Sept. 30.

(P) Adolf Hitler, moving swiftly upon his conquest of Poland and expanded partnership with Soviet Russia, tonight arranged for consultation with an envoy of his Italian ally and a declaration before his Reichstag. Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano of Italy was due early tomorrow night in Berlin in response to a German government invitation which Germans said was evidence of the loyalty with which the Fuehrer kept his axis partnlr, Premier Mussolini, informed. The Reichstag, called only to hear Hitler give an exposition of his policies, will meet "in the coming week" and informed sources said the Fuehrer would outline the future relations of Germany and Russia. The treaty concluded Thursday in Moscow by Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop will form the centerpiece of the Reichstag speech, these sources said they believed. It was regarded as a matter of course that Hitler also would give an account of his stewardship ss supreme commander of Germany's armed forces since September 1 when he addressed the body before racing to the eastern front behind his troops driving Into Poland.

Authoritative circles were unanimous today in pointing out that in the past the western powers, except for Napoleon in 1807, never bothered about Poland's fate. It was indicated that from this it might be ass'imed that Hitler, too, will tell the western powers once more to keep their hands off eastern Ettropean affairs. Ml Clano Klrat Before the Reichstag meets the actual date has yet to be announced Hitler will have met Count Ciano, Mussolini's son-in-law and emissary. The Italian orelgn minister was Invited to Berlin by the German government Immediately after Von Klbhentrop returned yesterday from Moscow to Hitler on his negotiations with Soviet Ru ssian leaders. Responsible persons sssumed that Count Ciano would not only receive Information when he arrives here but will be in ft position to give Hitler an exposition of the chances for mediation by Italy ln the European conflict.

Whether Hitler will make ft new peace offer before the Reichstag will depend partly upon Count Ciano's report on Italian sentiment In that direction, these sources said. Hitler conferred today In the chancellery with a number of generals and admiral. The supreme army Command's morning communique, describing war developments in the last 24 hours, noted on the western front only "a little livelier artillery activity." In the east it said 269 Polish officers and about S.OOO men surrendered after the capitulation of Modlln snd a quantity of war material had been captured. It also announced that In the Continued on Page Nineteen Plainfield Theatre Tickets mysterious committee will function and theater tickets will go to the drivers who don't honk their horns too loudly or try to beat their neighbor to ft green light.

The whole plan Is prt of Plaln-fleld's safety month, which a fortnight ago with a week devoted to preventing Industrial accidents, followed up with a week of home safety and Are prevention.

President Ignace Moscicki, interned in JRumanla where he fled from Warsaw before the German invaders, had announced his resig nation through the embassy a few minutes before the new President took the oath. The Poles thus sought to out-maneuver what diplomats called German efforts to prevent the existence of a Polish government by keeping "Moscicki in Rumania unable to exercise his functions. The new President" succeeded Moscicki, the embassy announced, "in conformity with constitutional law" embodied a decree drafted Sept. 17, 1939, the Polish border town of Kuty after the govern ment fled from Warsaw. The 71-year-old Moscicki Is now interned at a royal shooting lodge in the interior of Rumania, where he was taken after he crossed the border at Cernautl with other members of the government.

He had been President since 1926 of the republic which is now par titioned between Germany and Russia. Riddle In Tarts The United States Ambassador to Poland, Anthony J.

The French high command communique Indicated fighting was confined to artillery exchanges "in the region Immediately to the east of the Moselle." The communique said the pollus "replied with artillery fire" to German shells and reported "large aerial activity on both sides." The Germans usually have said little about developments on the western front but their communique also reported "a little livelier artillery activity." The precise sector wss not disclosed st Berlin. The chief development ln the air was the British air ministry's announcement that P.iitlsh planes had engaged In an air battle over enemy territory on the western front. "We suffered some casualties," the British reported and added that enemy casualties were not known.

First Lord of the Erltish Admiralty, on "firs', month of the war." James A. O'Connell Sees Increasing Demand by Manufacturers By JAMES L.

FRANK "If the present embargo is lifted by Congress so that the United States will be able to manufacture and sell war materials to belligerent nations, within a short time not one square foot of industrial space will be available to manufacturers along the entire Eastern seaboard," James A. O'Connell, local realtor, said yesterday. Inquiries regarding available floor space for manufacturing and storage purposes have already been received here, he said, as well as in other parts of the state and country. "What will happen," he said, "depends upon what action is taken by the government. At his offices, 392 George street, O'Connell told a Sunday Times representative that "real estate is on the way up." O'Connell is not alone in his opinion, the real estate man revealed, because discussions by members of the Industrial Real Estate Brokers Association of the New Tork Metropolitan area, a group of which he is secretary, had resulted in similar conclusions.

Tells of Activity There is considerably increased activity in industrial properties-factory and warehouse space," he said. "Many manufacturing and wholesale corporations which have been operating in minimum space without opportunity for expansion are now looking around for larger quarters where they will be able to take care of increased business. "This applies not only to those companies which are directly Interested in war orders," he continued, "but also to manufacturers and wholesalers who sell peace-time merchandise and expect to sell more of it in the general business advance." "Already," the real estate broker said, "a number of unoccupied plants have been leased In northern New Jersey, and a few industrial sales have transpired. Floor space of industrial properties, available a few months ago at 20 cents per square foot, are now selling from 35 to 50 cents per square foot. "The absorption of Industrial space in the metropolitan area may or may not be entirely due to the war," O'Connell said, "as a general Improvement in conditions, following a lull since 1937, set in as early as last June.

Prices Changing "At present, prices previously set on a number of buildings have been withdrawn," O'Connell said. He stressed the uncertainty prevalent in the real estate market but stated that large steel corpora-Ions and others had already withdrawn unused properties from the market.

after a Queens resident reported he received a mysterious telephone message that a bombing was scheduled for that hour. Nothing happened, however. Raymond P. Clair, of Jamaica, told police the caller, a man, first asked to speak to "Mr. Kuhn." When Clair told the speaker "Mr.

Kuhn" did not live there and that he did not know him, the caller gave Clair the message, prefacing it with "Tell Mr. Kuhn." When Clair's report was re-laved to Mnnhattan police headquarters, more than 100 detectives were sent to the station, one of New York's major transportation centers, and railroad officials were warned to be on the lookout for any suspected persons or packages. COUNT CIANO Russia's Moves In Balkans Arc Being Watched Dominant Role Is Taken With Soviet Having Nazi Approval MOSCOW, Sept 30 CD Soviet Russia's shadow over the Balkans was thrown into sharper relief to night by the impending arrival of Rumania foreign minister. (A Bucharest announcement said Foreign Minister Grlgore Gafencu of Rumania and ft staff of experts would leave for Moscow Monday to confer with Soviet officials). Some sources said the Rumanian's visit tended to confirm reports that Russia hnd assumed a dominant role in the Balkans and had been given a free hand there by Germany in exchange for assurances of raw materials and neutrality In the western European war.

Negotiations with Rumania are projected at ft time when Moscow has become the center of feverish diplomatic activity because of the visit this week of German Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop; completed negotiations with Estonia for ft mutual assistance pact and Russian bases on Estonian soil; and consultations with Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru Sara-coglu. Unofficial quarters said they had expected for some time that the Soviet government would demand the return of Bessarabia, which Rumania gained from Russia as ft result of the World War. (A report in official circles In Bucharest said Rumania had received assurances "through a third party" that Soviet Russia had no intention of seizing Bessarabia. There was no Immediate confirmation). Se Other Concessions Meanwhile there was a belief In some circles that Russia may have gained concessions In the Black Sea area from Turkey which controls the Dardanelles, vital entrance to the sea.

(An Ankara report sajd Sarncng-lu was discussing ft pact which would close the Black Sea to belligerent forces). Diplomats said they doubted, however, that Turkey had yielded any control of the Dardanelles to Russia. While interest centered on the Balkans, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet ratified the 10-year mutual assistance pact and Agreement for expanded trade with Estonia.

The same England Quiet, But Work" for War Continues Britains Cheered With Reports of Turkish-Anglo Agreement LONDON, Sept. 30. W)-Beneath deceptivo tranquility of an autumn week-end, Britain's soldiers, sailors and statesmen worked at war tonight from the North Sea to the Dardanelles.

'Millions, bored by sandbags and blackouts, knocked off work early just as always, and headed for the country. They were cheered by newspaper headlines which told them "Anglo-Turkish pact is ready," and by repeated authorized assurances that the Russian-German agreement on Poland and a dictated peace "changes nothing for England." War held nothing of the thrill of the fleeting "peace in our time" which Prime Minister Chamberlain brought home from Munich Just one year ago today. But a steady procession of grey-clad, troop-Jammed transports steamed to France. The might of the fleet held Germany In a tightening blockade. Royal Airforce bombers roared low over the Siegfried line with photographers and mapmakers.

Whitehall threw all the power of Its secret diplomacy into the tug-of-war for the upper i hnd ln the Jsear East an Ral kans. News that mutual assistance and economic agreements with Turkey are ready for signature and that a five-man Turkish military mission headed by ruddy, handsome Gen. Kiazim Oi bay Is en route to London was printed widely. Receiving less prominence were reports that the pacts contain a clause cancelling Turkish commitments If Britain and Soviet P.u?sia go to war. Tart Indlspcnsible Although official comment was withheld, persons usually well-informed said that London regarded such an attitude on the part of Turkey as natural because the friendship between Turkey and Russia was Indispensable economically and strategically to both countries.

The same sources predicted that the government would make a statement on the progress of British-Turkish alliance negotiations within three days but that this would not deal with recent Russian-Turkish talks In Moscow. The position taken was that these have nothing to do with each other: that Turkey will conr clude alliances with Britain and Frsnce; that Russia having easily obtained what It wanted In Poland will not attempt to alter Turkey's diplomacy toward western European powers for fear of rupturing Its friendship with the nation that holds the Bosphorus, Russia's southern economic gateway. On Monday or Tuesday Chamber lain will tell Commons what he thinks of the. Soviet-German arce-ment which partitioned Poland anew between her conquerors and proclaimed a basis for "durable" peace.

Industry Continues Rise To 1937 Levels Hold Domestic Orders Rather Than War Is Stimulant NEW TORK, Sept 30 The whir of United States Industry approached its pre-recesslon, 1937 pitch this week, with the heavy Industries leading the way in accelerated output. Seasonally the level was the best for autumn since 1929, although the war-time stimulation still seemed to lag and the bulk of orders was for domestic use. It was the 11th successive perlol in which the various business indices pushed ahead.

Steel mills, cotton textile plants, car loadings, residential building and automobile production all benefitted from the up surge, factories and coal mines continued to rehire workers and total industrial employment was estimated at only slightly under the 1937 peak. Few orders from the fighting nations of Europe, except In the machine tool division, were reported, but inquiries flooded sales staffs. Bookings from neutral companies, old customers of the belligerents, poured in at a better rate than ln the preceding week. The Commerce Depaitment put a special crew to work "sifting" Inquiries from abroad, and appraisal agencies advised exporters as to the possibility of payment for the goods wanted. In the meantime, however, the excitement and perhaps over en thusiasm which marked the first days of the European conflict seemed to die away under the cau tion of leaders who warned war business wouldn't pay in the end.

Arthur A. Ballantlne, former un der secretary of the treasury, told New Tork bond men the recent ex pansion was due not merely to war odrers but to domestic business "touched off" by profpects of Increased needs abroad.
