Nazis Are Strangling Soviet Army In Crinea
Red Cavalry Division Has Been Smashed - Deny Russian Reports About Tula-MOscOw Front
 Is Not Mentioned
By JOSEPH w. GRIGG

tUmteu EreSS Stan correspondent
 Berlin, Nov. 12-(UP)-German forces slowly are strangling Soviet armies in the Crimea, a German mil- itary spokesman said today, as the high command asserted that Naz infantry and armored units had smashed Red cavalry division in bitter fighting south of Tula on the Moscow front.
 The spokesman said fierce fighting ragged around the Crimeal ports of Sevastapol and Kerch with the Ger man air force necessarily" blasting Russian attempts to evacuate their troops by sea. He said that heavy fighting was on only in the Crimea and outside Leningrad, where the Russians were reported to have made another futile" attempt to break through the German investment.
 Competent German quarters said it was false" to assume that the Germans had been fought to a standstill since large scale opera tions were in progress in the Cri- mea. It was admitted, however, that especially bad weather prevented major operations around Moscow and on other sectors of the front where, for the present, only the German air force can operate.
