' Finland's role In the war ORainst Russia was newly em phasized by British press reports from Stockholm which said that German and Finnish troops were only 14 miles from Murmansk, Russian artic seaport. The Mur-mansk-Lcnlnpxad rallwav has been the object of Finnish-Ger man land and air attack almost since the Finns Joined hands with the Germans In the Invasion of June 22. How British action could bear on Finnish and Rumanian war efforts against Russia Is not clear. However, to date Britain In her economic warfare has taken steps short of the actual attack which a state of war would call for. Hungary's action against Russia has not approached the scale of Germany's Finnish and Ru manian allies, although Hun garian troops actually are In the field against the Russians. A Reuters dispatch to London from Stockholm said a rumble of heavy gunfire in the Baltic had led to belief that the red fleet In that sea was trying to shoot its way out to the west from Hango, peninsula fortress base on the south coast to Fin land which has been under siege since the first days of the con flict.

One report Indicated most dramatic of which was the i,hoy nlrcny had pushed between British withdrawal from Flanders !,hat and "M! ra 'l'''l- Ked and Artois through Dunkerque, on the English channel In 1!M0 before the fall of France. The British called Dunkerque n triumph of retreat and It re mained to be seen whether the Russians, benefitted by control ling sea power as were the Brit ish, could duplicate the British feat, assuming that the Crimean line could no be held. Sown Mines Removed Just as the British and their al lies mined and dynamited In their wake to slow the closini; of the German circle on the 1!M0 Dun kerque, the Russians were report ed to have sowed thousands of mines in the path of Ibelr pursu ers, at the same time wreaking nil the havoc they could under Stalin's scorched-earl h orders. The Hitler command said that more than 13.000 mines had heen removed to clear the path o! pur suit in the Crimea. Sevastopol and Yalta Lie, 'res pectively, on the western and .Mar, tne soviet army paper, re ported continuous German blows on Tula without regard for huge losses. If Sevastopol falls to the Ger mans, Russia's Black sea fleet would hi! deprived ot lis best re maining base. The Germans, with convenient air bases, then would have a stepping-stone east ward across the narrow Kerch strait to the Caucases. Japan, Italy Echo Hitler The German government. meanwhile, kept its own counsel on what might develop from lis declaration that the United States had attacked Germany. General spokesmen, however. said Hint the reich's charges of Saturday had found unreserved ipproval of the other members ot the throe-power pad, Japan and Italy, Vlrglnlo Gayda, authoritative fascist editor, contrlbuled to (lie pule by charging anew that the United Slates was attacking eastern sides of the verv tip of I Italian submarines in the Medi the peninsula.- Kerch, described as the other area of Russia exit.

Moscows Peril Increased The Moscow radio broadcast a cryptic statement that the battle for the capital had "entered a most serious phase" as I he nnzls threw In fresh reserves of tanks, . guns mid men lo close in on the stubborn defenders. This coincided wltli word that n further drop In temperature mere, prelude to the deep winter at hand, had so hardened the ground as to assist German com munications and movement of mechanized forces. A correspondent of Pravda, communist parlv newspaper, pic tured Tula, on Moscow's southern flank, as in Ihe throes of a migh ty defense which left suburbs "littered with smashed tanks" and brought workers, housewives and old men up behind the lines to lay new tank traps. - The dispatch said that the city bristled with new fortifications from the outskirts to Its center but that amid the holocaust of battle the business and Industrial life continued as usual. Question of Endurance The German high command an nounced yesterdav that Simfero pol, capital of the Crimea bad been captured and that nazl forc es were advancing swiftly to ward Sevastopol, 40 miles be yond. Reports In London said Ihe Ger mans were only 20 miles north of the Crimean front. In London, military observers regarded neither sltuntlon as lost for Russia yet. The paramount question, apparently, was which would falter first -the Germans' power to attack without regard to sacrifices, which the Russians say are tremendous, or the Russlas' power to resist depiles their own losses of men, ground and re sources. Also a factor was the severe weather, probably the cause for a week end lull on most of Ihe long eastern front and particular ly for the seeming halt in the German advance toward Rostov, In the south. Freezing weather would free Germany's armored forces from the bogs In which re cents rain and snow have mired them. Nazi Sacrifices Enormous Important consequences hang on the outcome of the German drives on Tula and Sevastopol. If Tula Is taken, the Germans i could strike eastward to encircle -Gayda asked In II Giornale D'- Italia: "Is the United States In the war? If so let it say so and not complain about possible armed reactions of the axis powers when its ships venture Into the war zone." The German statement, based on United States naval activity in (he Atlantic, set the stage for possible Invoking of the axis pact under which Germany, Italy and Japan pledged mutual aid In case or an attack on any of them by a power not Involved In Ihe Euro pean or Far Eastern wars. Signs multiplied In Tokyo, how ever, that Japan would refrain from any hasty action although opinion prevailed there that she would be more likely to accept the German than the American version of Incidents involvinc those powers In Ihe Atlantic. Had weather forced a lull In Ihe British air offensive nonius! Germany, in which at least 20 axis ships were said lo have been sunk or damaged and Gorman bases In northern France heavily nit during the week end. The Germans, however, claim ed one 4,000-lon vessel as sunk in British waters last night and said that others, totalling 2S.D00 tons, were presumed also as sunk. Mrs. J.

The CIO announced yesterday it would try to enroll 1.000,000 of the government's 1,250,000 em ployes in . the United Federal Workers of America. The an nouncement asserted that the pay of thousands of government employes was, insufficient to pro vide a "decent standard of liv ing." Mine Dispute Tackled Members of the defense me diation board called into confer ence again today the principals in a dispute affecting the coal mines of seven steel companies and their 53,000 miners. Chairman William A. Davis, who hopes to have a board de cision on its recommendations for settlement of the controversy before the end of the week, invit ed John L. Lewis, president of CIO's United Mine Workers, and lb executives of the steel com panies. Only issue is whether the mines shall have a union shop, under which all workers would be obliged to join the UMW after a probationary period. After a three-day work stop page last week, Lewis sent the miners back to work under a truce expiring November 15. The national labor relations board, seeking to avert another threat to steel operations, called a hearing today at Pittsburgh on a petition by 52 riverboat operators who ask that AFL's Masters, Mates and Pilots association be designated their bargaining igent with Carnegie-Illinois Steel corporation. The boat men walked out last Friday night, tieing up 12 tow- boats which tug 50,000 tons of coal daily in barges from mines in Fayette county, Pa., down the Monongahela river to the mills at Pittsburgh. In addition to union recogni tion they ask changes in work ing hours and days off plus a 10 per cent Increase in undisclosed wage rales.
