drive on Moscow from tho .south,
Another counter-attack was
launched north of Orel and east
of Bryansk. 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."
Trade Blows With RAF
For the German air force, the
high command reported an as
sault last night on "targets of vi
tal military Importance at Mos
cow," overnight raids on air
dromes and harbors in eastern
and southeastern England, and
Ihe sinking of an 8,000-ton mer
chant ship cast of Great Yar
mouth. 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. Its communique said
places in northwestern, western
and southern Germany were raid
ed and "at various places build
ings were destroyed or dam
aged." mi unusual admission for
Berlin.
The British said today that the

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. These said that 200,000 Chi
nese were converging on Cheng
chow for "a desperate effort" to
recapture that important railway
junction of northern Honan prov
ince lost a week ago to the Japanese.

Law Ties Hands of U. 8.
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."
Before starting the hearings,
the committee voted to consider
