CalledToTalk In Washington Governor Says He Expects To See F.D. While He's in Capital AMARILLO, Sept. 27 Gov. Coke Stevenson announced Saturday night he will leave Amarillo early Sunday morning for Washing ton on urgent business. He did not reveal the nature of his business but said he was leaving at the behest of Speaker Sam Rayburn and members of the Texas delegation in congress.

He said, however, that while he is in Washington he "expects to see the president." The governor cancelled a date to open the tri-state fair here Monday morning in order to reach the capital in time for conferences which have been scheduled for Tuesday. Cong. Gene Worley of Shamrock, who returned this weejf for his first visit in his district since last December, will open the fair in Stevenson's place. It was understood the governor will confer with Pres. Roosevelt Tuesday.

He will return to Austin Friday. Neutrality Act Decision Nears HYDE PARK. N. Sept. 27.

(UP) Pres. Roosevelt Saturday night neared a final decision on proposals to modify the neutrality act. His decision may bring a re quest to congress to put guns on American merchant ships and open all combat zones to American ves sels serving the British life-line. Mr. Roosevelt may make known his plans to congress Tuesday dur ing a conference with Vice Pres Henry A.

Wallace and leaders of both houses. His verdict may be informally transmitted in an oral proposal to his leaders, but he also may send his recommendations to Capitol Hill in a formal message specifying the premises on which he is convinced congress should re peal or modify the neutrality law. There was no indication from the White House that Mr. Roosevelt would favor the resolution by Sen. Kenneth McKellar (D-Tenn.) to repeal the neutrality law 6utright.

It seemed more probable that he would favor modification to permit guns to be mounted on American flag ships and reopen so-called combat areas which have closed vital ports to United States ships carrying war materials to oppon ents of the axis. Earlier Saturday, the president and Mrs. Roosevelt went to Tivoli N. 30 miles up the Hudson, to attend funeral services for the first lady's only brother, G. Hall Roose velt.

Roosevelt be asked to declare martial law in Key West, where a strike of more than 1,000 carpenters and laborers has curtailed on a $2,000,000 navy proj ect.

tUP)- Pres. Roosevelt declared Saturday that, the full might of the United States will be used to guard the new "Liberty Fleet" against tor pedo, bomb or shell on the seven seas. His declaration, reiterating the administration's determination to maintain freedom of the seas despite German threats and acts, was repeated at shipyards in all parts of the country as 14 units of the new wartime emergency fleet slid down the ways in the greatest mass launchings since the World War. Seen as Final Prelude Congress regarded his speech, which was transcribed in advance and played at each of the launchings. as the final prelude to his request for complete repeal or modification of the neutrality act to enlarge deliveries of lend-lease materials.

The president was expected to decide during the coming week whether he will seek outright repeal or revision of the neutrality act. He expects to see his congressional leaders Monday to go over the situation. A message on the subject to congress may be forthcoming during the week. The president's brief address highlighted "Liberty Fleet Day" sponsored by the maritime commission in observance of the first mass launching emergency cargo ships. "We Americans as a whole." Mr.

War urn German Drive Upon Crimea Moves to High 5 Soviet Armies Said Annihilated at Kiev; Waved Reaches Iran By the Associated Press The first anniversary of the German-Japanese-Italian tripartite pact was marked Saturday by Ger man announcement that five soviet armies had been annihilated east of Kiev in an "unparallelled" victory; Japanese claims to capture of Changsha, stubborn capital of the Chinese province of Hunan; and Italian decision to ration bread, raise taxes and weed out lukewarm lascists. The gigantic German claims over shadowed all others, official nazis heralding this as the turning point of the entire continent-wide con flict which has been in progress for 14 weeks. The Red army told of successes on a more modest scale on the central front and before Leningrad, which a Russian spokesman said never would be taken no matter how many tens of thousands of Germans fell there. Move Caucasus Hints London saw increasing indications that British forces were moving to help defend the Caucasus in the south.

Official Berlin sources, however, contended British and American help for Russia already was too late because the Soviet union had been all but knocked out, basing their assertions on this special communique from Adolf Hitler's field headquarters: "The big battle near Kiev is finished. In a two-sided encirclement of a tremendous region we succeeded in uprooting the Dnieper defense, destroying five Soviet armies without permitting even small units to escape the encirclement.

The reported Czech crisis topped a week of mounting unrest, sabotage and outright anti-German outbreaks in almost every corner of the nazi-occupied regions of Europe. Berlin reported that the reich protector of Bohemia and Moravia, Baron Constantin von Neurath, has been replaced, at least temporarily, by Reinhard Heydrich, chief of German secret police. Strike at Sabotage Heydrich is chief assistant to Heinrich Himmler, head of the German gestapo and all police within the reich. The Berlin dispatch asserted that Von Neurath had requested a leave of absence due to illness. London, however, claimed that the secret police director was called in to curb the mounting wave of sabotage and unrest among the Czechs.

Heydrich was last in th public eye a few weeks ago when he im posed the drastic new anti-Jewish laws in Germany, requiring all Jews to wear a six-pointed star of David whenever they appear in public. Semi-War in Serbia There has been a persistent stream of reports of incidents in Czechoslovakia in the past few weeks, capped by rumors in the last few days of a series of terrific ex plosions in the huge Skoda Arms works. The explosions were said to have killed several hundred per sons. The Czech developments were only one phase of the spreading pattern of anti-nazi outbreaks. Budapest dispatches reported a state of semi-civil war in Serbia in which nazi dive-bombers were called out to blast at Jugoslav guerillas.

Berlin has admitted that 2,000 regulars have been sent in to aid pro-nazi Jugoslav troops in fight ing the guerilla bands. Budapest said Stuka planes attacked the Serb center of Uzice, a city of persons and that a three-day battle was fought at Doboj. In the Rozanci sector 26 -'rebels" were killed and 14 executed. German reports revealed that 20 alleged "communists" had been ex ecuted in Belgium in reprisal for sabotage in that country and North i ranee. New repressive measures were reported in France where a group of alleged communists were sen tenced at Marseilles, six army of' ficers were sentenced to death at Clermont-Ferrand and another group of alleged communists were given prison terms at Pans.

Willingham said that Steers Start Slowly, But Then Run Wild Crain Opens Stampede With Score in First Quarter of Contest By WILBUR EVANS The American-Statesman Staff BOULDER, Sept. 27. It was in the early seconds of the third quarter. As ominous as thunder and as sudden as a bolt oi lightning, the University of Texas Longhorns stormed into action. And then shadows fell across this stadium here in the foothills of the Rockies.

Dana X. Bible's heralded herd of Longhorns were victorious. 34-6. over a University of Colorado eleven that came in the second half with hopes of a major upset. Texas rode to victory on a whirl wind attack in the second half aft er starting slowly against a dis appointing crowd of only 15,000.

Lack Fire at First The Steers, lacking snap and spirit in first hair etforls, went to rest at the intermission with a slim 13-6 margin. But the first string, that saw service through only one third of the game, needed only-three and a half minutes to turn the game into a rout in the second half. Vicious tackles that twice gave Texas possession of the ball deep in Colorado territory set the stage for the quick scores. The Buffs chose to receive the second half kickoff but they lost the ball on their 17, when Pete Layden recovered Vern Lockard's fumble Layden rammed for three and Noble Doss went wide for 9 and a first orr the 5.apt. Layden needed out one try to cover ine remain ing distance.

Crain added the ex tra point from placemen, and Tex as led, 20-6. Layden Hits Hard Aaain the Buffs took the kick off. This time Reilly went behind the goal line for Flanagan's kick and ran It out well to the 23 yard lineVhee he ran smack into Mr. Layden. The Steer captain tackled the lugger so hard that he fumbled and Chal Daniel covered the ball at that point.

The Longhorns. looking like the team that experts had been rav- ing about, needed but three plays to add their fourth toucnaown. Crain sped for eight yards on an in and out sweep. Doss got only one on a play that was mixed up, but everything went off strictly Hoyle on the third effort as Layden roared through center on a quick opening play for a touchdown. Crain maintained a perfect percentage on conversions to run the score to 27-6.

Subs Take Over That was all for the first string. They left the remainder of the work for second and the third combinations, the latter taking over and holding their own in the final quarter despite their weird exhibition of juggling the ball. There was still enough time left in the third quarter for the No. 2 group to push across a score. The second string missed fire on its first chance, however, as R.

For instance, the poorest grade of cottonseed in many years is selling for the highest price in 18 or 20 years. For another thing, it takes nearly 200 more pounds of seed cotton this year than last year to make up a 500-pound bale, cottonseed oil and meal yields are down, and the price for picking has gone up 50 cents per hundred Russia, the diplomats reported, nas no interest in any separate armistice or negotiations for that purpose. Possibly as a result of the sharp Soviet reaction, the reports said, Germany has again renewed pressure upon Bulgaria in an attempt to obtain her declaration of war against Russia and use of 100,000 Bulgarian troops.

The German trial balloon, it was said, was sent up by way of neutral diplomats both in Moscow and other world capitals. Nationality of the diplomats -io put out the German feelers was not specified. They were said to have suggested to Russian sources that Germany is interested in the idea of a separate armistice with the Soviet to be signed now, and with a complete peace at some later date. As soon as word of the feelers reached the Kremlin, it was said the Russians made it emphatically clear that the Soviet had not the slightest interest in such proposals, would not consider nor even discuss them. The German mce, the diplomats said, was made so that no actual proposal or terms were offerd.

MOVEMENT OF NAZIS FROM WEST REVEALED NEW YORK. Sept. 27. (UP) The British might have found much of western Europe virtually undefended if they had attacked the German-occupied territories in mid-August, passengers aboard the Portuguese liner Nyassa indicated Saturday. German losses in men and tanks have been so heavy in Russia, these arriving passengers said, that the pick of wehrmacht garrisons in western Europe has been transferred to the eastern front.

Young troops thus withdrawn have now been replaced by Italian soldiers and older German troops. Dr. Carlo Anze Soria, 58. who was Bolivian minister to Germany and Belgium, said that the Germans had withdrawn most of the 15.000 soldiers who were policing' the country of defeated King Leopold. The ministry left Brussels Aug.

28 after receiving German orders to depart within five days. He said conditions in Belgium were "terrible" and indicated that sabotage was widespread. Senator Shot in Hip TRENTON, N. Sept. 27.

Larkins following an argument over Williamson's salary in the chamber of commerce, of which Larkins is president. the low grade of seed is a result of too much moisture and immature kernels. The same explanation goe3 for the increase in the number of pounds of seed cotton it takes to make up a bale. One farmer told Co. Agt.

Willingham that this year it was taking 1,600 pounds of seed cotton to make up a bale, whereas last year 1.450 and less would do it. He said there was nearly 10 per cent moisture. Also, there is more seed than lint Cottonseed in Years Bringing Highest Price pounds. George C. Quinn of the South Texas Cotton Oil company explained the high price for low grade cottonseed.

The price is between $52 and $54 per carload with the former being the price generally paid in the Austin territory. The high price highest, Quinn said, in the last 18 or 20 years can be attributed to dealings in financial guesswork and hopes for the future. The price paid is based on the price of commodities that.
