Nazi High Command
 Will Bomb All Cities
tcontinued from Page l,

prisoners, artillery, guns and equipment of all kinds are being assembled and counted.
 "All attempts by five Polish divis- ions and two brigades near Kutno to break through the German line to the south have been frustrated.
 (This referred presumably to the Polish Poznan Army, which was re- ported in a Polish communique, picked up by radio at London, to have crashed through the German encirclement and to have attacked the Germans besieging Warsaw from the rear.)
 "A concentrate counter attack by German forces is going on. Hig S- ways and the Warsaw-Siedlce rail- way line to the east and southeast of Warsaw have crossed by large troop contingents.
 Motorized Troops Attack
 Motorized troops now stand at the extreme eastern wing 40 kilo- meters (25 miles) north of Brest Litovck 120 miles east of WarSaw0
 "The 18th Polish division which delayed too long in retreating south wards toward Lomza (60 miles northeast of Warsaw) has been engaged north of the Bug River.
 "The German air force continued successful attacks on highways, bridges and railway lines east of the Vistula. Three trains are in flames at the Krystynopolstation. The airdrome at Luck was severely damaged and the biala- -Podlask air craft factory was set afire by bombs
 Fourteen enemy planes have been destroyed, two of them being shot down in an air encounter.
 Scouting planes were successful in acquiring valuable information. "
 Meat Rationing
 The meat rationing applied only to the Berlin area. The rubber de- cree requires that all vehicles be submitted to the department for rubber and asbestos in their pres ent conditions. Extra tires must be surrendered. Exchange payments will be made ranging from the price of 6 new tire to the price of the old rubber. For vehicles permitted to continue operating, new tires may be obtained only with ration cards and on surrendering the worn out tire.
 The acute labor shortage, made more pronounced by the rnobiliza- ton of millions of men necessitated the drafting of members of the youth organizations for agricultural work.
 Hitler youth aged Is to l8 and Hitler maidens aged IS and 16 will be sent from cities to assist farmers in harvesting. Tens of thousands did farm work this summer. They will be employed now in gathering the late fruit and potato crops as wcll as at general farm work. Sev- eial contingents already have left Berlin for rural sections.
 Another measure designed to re. duce the labor shortage was an or- der that henceforth all girls be- tween the ages of IT and 25 must belong to the Nazi womens labor service.
 German quarters said that about 10000 Italian laborers are working in the Reich in addition to thou. sands of Czechs and Slovaks brought in since last March.
 Restrict Gasoline
 New gasoline restrictions provide that only holders of special police permits may drive an automobile Previously there had been little restriction on the actual use oi motor vehicles apart from the rigid rationing of fuel.
 The new police permits will be granted only in special circum- stances. Many bus services have been stopped in Berlin and in the future buses and street cars will not operate after 1 a. m. Taxicabs were more scarce.
 Gasoline rationing has resulted in a run on bicycles which are difficult to obtain. Blackouts brought a run on pocket flashlights which are even more difficult to purchase.
 Rationing of commodities such as coffee is now so rigid that the daily supplies of many large cafes are exhausted by midmorning. Ever regular customers can obtain only 20 grams-about two cupsful-oi coffee at grocery stores as weeks supply for a family.
