Orel was lost to tho Germans -a week ago. , Mjjof Test Impending Pospit" th" Russian resistance, a dispatch to tho Moscow newspa per Pravda acknowledged that the Germans still were moving on Moscow and the only question was whether the drive could be robbed of Its momentum short of the goal. Reinforcements were stream ing steadily into the Russian front, It was said fresh, well equipped regulars who already had been under German fire but who had been rested for their new tost. German reinforce, ments maintaining a numeral su periority for the invaders, how ever, also were reported. The dispatches to Moscow pic tured the morale of the Russians as high. All wore warm winter uniforms with long gray great coats and fur hats In prepared ness for the winter nt hand. There was little question that the greatest test of the war was impending. Nazis Claim No Halt The Germans spoke optimisti cally of a third spearhead thrust, toward Moscow from tho north west, which they said had taken the Russians by surprise and pushed them back to about 140 miles from the capital. The drive was reported still forging ahead. Authorized sources declared to day that German armored forces and motorized infantry were thrusting forward so fast that they no longer bother to build an eastern wall around the trapped Russians but leave this task to horse-drawn artillery and foot soldiers. In the sourli, according to Ber lin, the pursuit of Russians who escaped encirclement In the Bat tle of the Sea of Azov brought capture of 11,000 more prisoners and 33 guns while on the north westthe Leningrad sector "at tempts of the enemy to break out were repelled with very heavy losses to the enemy."

Britain sought lo relieve pres sure on embattled Russia last night by striking at industrial Germany with one of the heaviest raids of the war, setting many fires which "spread over a large area" at Nuernberg, scene of the nazi party's annual con gresses. Nuernberg, an Industrial cen ter in Bavaria, was the principal objective, a London communique announced. "A number of targets In west ern and northwestern Germany also were attacked," the air min istry said authoritative sources added that more than 300 planes took part in the attack. Bremen was bombed by strong forces, the air ministry said, and docks nt Boulogne, German-occupied French channel port, also were attacked. The loss of 11 planes In these widespread operations was ad mitted. The German high command acknowledged the broad sweep and severity of tho British air forays, setting the British plane loss at 13.

The British said today that the axis siege forces nt Tobruk were trying to tighten their lines nnd Italy said that the renewed Brit ish assaults on Italian positions there were driven back by heavy fire. Coincident with the renewed resistance of the Red army, the London press urged that the United Stales and Britain help Russia with military action as well as supplies.

Japan May Hit Russia Japan's policy toward the Russian-German conflict was em phasized anew In dispatches to day as the pivotal factor in tho entire Oriental situation. An editorial in London's Chronicle proposed a joint British-American guarantee of Rus sia's far eastern frontier against any Japanese attack so as to re lease nearly a half-million Red troops with thousands of tanks and planes for use in tho west against Adolf Hitler. A Chinese general at Changsha asserted that the Japanese were massing 32 divisions in Man chukuo for an attack on Siberia. The Chinese buried -11,250 Jap anese dead in tho Changsha ac tion between Sept. G and Oct. 10, he announced, and declared that number represented about one fourth of the total Japanese forces engaged in the campaign. Nation-wide air raid defense tests were inaugurated last night in Japan with blackouts every where but Tokyo, which concen trated on fire drills until next Monday when it, too, will try the blackout. Japanese dispatches reaching Pclping gave point to Chinese claims of counter-offensive pow er.

Discussing the proposal repeal of the ship arming ban, Hull said It was not called for under In ternational law and asserted that even when it was enacted there never had been "any thought" of this country abandoning its full rights of self-defense in the event of any threat to this continent. The ban, the secretary declared, "makes It Impossible for Ameri can ships to defend themselves on the high seas from lawless forc es seeking world domination." Committeemen Clash As the secretary completed the reading of his formal statement, the committee went Into execu tive session but not until chair man Bloom and Rep. Vorys had a brief row. Over the attempts of Bloom to eavel him Into silence, Vorys said he wanted It understood that the exclusion of the press from the questioning period was "not by unanimous consent. Neither Rep. Fish, the ranking minority member, nor Rep. Tink ham was present when the lear ines started and members of their office staffs said both members were absenting themselves from the proceedings in protest against the action of the, majority in re stricting the inquiry to two days of almost completely closed sessions. One pi Fish's secretaries said the congressman had wanted to call "about 30 witnesses, promln ent people from all over the country," but decided against it when it appeared they would have only about five minutes apiece for their testimony. War Secretary Stlmson, who followed Hull to the witness chair, recommended Immediate repeal of the ban on arming mer chant ships. "I believe that the repeal of this humiliating provision of law would not only conduce to regain' Ing our self-respect upon the ocean," Stlmson said, "but that it would materially promote the safety of the vessels which wo are now sending out and the safe landing of the munitions which congress has decided to make available to the nations whose de fense Is vital to our own defense." Stlmson added that the ban on arming merchant ships was not the only "dangerous restriction" in tho neutrality law, "Section two, which In effect closes to us the ports of those belligerent countries now recog nized by congress to be fighting our common enemy," he said, "has also been shown by current history to bo entirely futile for ac complishing the purpose for which it was enacted. "American vessels are being at tacked In many places in the oceans, far away from the dan ger zone Imposed under section 2. They are being attacked and sunk on tho high seas, not only distant from any belligerent port but even within the limits of our own hemisphere and within the pro tective lines which we have drawn about that hemisphere."
