The midday communique said the Soviets were fighting along i the whole front and that the action was particularly Intense It said the Germans were throwing fresh units . into the battle. The mid-day communique made no acknowledgement of German gains in fact, it was claimed that the reds had scored in the Ixnlngrad area by capturing prisoners. The Leningrad soldiers were reported attempting to case the pressure on Moscow. , Radios Taken From Czechs German military quarters In Berlin expressed belief that the last line of defense of Moscow had been virtually wiped out with the German-announced crushing of the greater part of Marshal Timo shenko's forces at Vyazma and Bryansk. Behind the front the Germans still experienced difficulties. DNB reported from Prague, capital of old Czechoslovakia, that authorities there had ordered con fiscation of radio receiving sets of 'Oil residents of two districts of that city.

(AP)' Despite a "deterioration" of Rus sian defenses west of Moscow, Russian dispatches declared today that the red army's resistance had not been and could not be broken. hww The most optimistic language came from Russian war corres pondents. "The enemy has failed to break or weaken the resistance of the "red army," wrote one of them. "He has failed to break down 51s tenacity. He could not and will not be able to do It! The red army is alive and struggling. It has Incalculable and inexhaust ible reserves In our people who are determined to defend their country and their just cause.

(Many Japanese considered the seven weeks since the Konoye message a period of truce In Japanese-American tension. The end of that truce may be signaled by the Konoye resignation.

The newspaper Asahi took a similar view, declaring differenc es between the United States and Japan were producing a crisis which, if not arrested, would lead inevitably to a clash. In case of a trans pacific war, Hiraide said, "guerrilla opera tions would be undertaken for the destruction of trade, plus air raids against national territory by some naval force." He said some bombers might strike from ABCD bases near Japan, but declared that the greatest loss which could be in flicted at sea "would be several times less than that done to British shipping by the Ger mans. PEACE EFFORT CONTINUES, JAPANESE GENERAL SAYS NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (AP) Japan is still negotiating with the united States in an attempt to maintain peace in the Pacific, Major General Okamoto was quoted today In a Domei broad cast, but the Japanese people should be prepared for the worst in case the talks fad.

WHITE RUSSIANS BEING MOBILIZED BY JAPAN PIEPING, China, Oct. 16 (AP) The Japanese army is mobilizing all able-bodied white Russians between 17 and 40 years of age throughout north China for six months of compulsory military training, supposedly to serve in a possible Japanese-soviet war, it was reported here to day. Partial mobilization was said to have been carried out already in some cities and white Russian youths have been sent to Tientsin for training in the far eastern institute. To the question whether they would be willing to fight against soviet Russians, a local white Russian declared "we have no choice but to obey orders to re port for mobilizations since they are backed by Japanese bayonets. But they will never get us to fight against our brothers in Rus sia." A Japanese spokesman denied readers of Associated Press member The Associated Press Mil that the Japanese had ordered any white Russian mobilization and said he had no knowledge of white Russian affairs.

Superior Guns Assured Secretary Knox was asked what guns might be placed on Ameri can ships and replied that thev probably would be 3 or 4-inch weapons on smaller vessels and 5-inch types on larger ones. These would equal or outshoot the deck guns of around 3-inches carried on German subs, it was said at the navy. Some of the guns placed on American shins, Knox related, orobably would be capable of both surface and anti-aircraft ac tion. Others probably would be surface weapons only, but would be supplemented by short ranee anti-aircraft guns such as .50 caliber guns. Under international law, Knox said, an armed merchant ship is subject to attack bv a belligerent war vessel but the war vessel still Is responsible for protecting the merchantman's crew.
