A series of German statements on
fighting along the 1,800-mile east
ern front said that:

er and occupied Minsk after an
unprecedented battle of tanks, dive
bombers, artillery and infantry and
that it could be assumed" that a
new "encirclement area" was de-
veloping in the area of MinSk and
Smolensk, which is 1870 miles east
of Minsk and within 23O miles OF
Moscow. THE Russians said merely
that stubborn fighting was in pro-
gress)

the south wing had taken the fort

and broken up Russian forces in
the Rawruska area in an offensive

Russian communlque made no spe-
cific statement regarding the Bait

4. Reference to the far northern
sector on the Finnish Russian FROM
tier was omitted from the German
communique, but the Russian COM
munique said every enemy attempt
to advance on the Karelian isthmus
toward Leningrad or from Finland
toward Murmansk had been hurled
back with big losses. The Russians
said also a German force attempting
to attack Viipuri from the sea had
been wiped out on the beaches ano

PRIORTTIES
PLAN CHANGES
NEXT MONTH

A changeover from the present sys-
tenn Of granting priority ratings is be-
ing planned for the first Of December
when the ALLEGATION of definite
amounts Of scarce materials for vari-
Gus industries Is supposed to become
effective. The details Of the. system
which win operate under the alloca-
tions method have not yet been worked
out. The Office of the Petroleum Co
ordinator win continue to receive ap-
plications under the PD-1 form.
Producers who desire material for
drilling wells are now required to
supply a plat Of the location showing
enough of the surrounding area to in
dictate the spacing pattern and also all
wells on the lease or leases in ques-
ton and also on the offsetting leases.
These plats should be supplied in
duplicate.
Senator Joseph. c. Odahoney Of
Wyoming has offered S. Res. 1876, re-
questing the Office of Production
Management to report its general
policy, its methods and plans for al
location of materials and its program
for protecting various business enter
prises and for relieving "the hard
ships caused to small business enter
priSes by the application of a priorities
or ALLEGATION system to materials
deemed to be essential for national
defense purposes"

u. s. ADVISES
INCREASED OIL
PRODUCTION

Increased production In Montans
oil fields win be necessary during De-
cember, despite the usual seasonal
curtailment, according to the monthly
forecast Of demand for motor fuel and
crude oil prepared by the q. s. Blu
reau OF Mines.
The forecast indicates a demand for
&C, 700 barrels per day against NO
venber forecast Of demand OF 10000
barrels daily and against an actual
December market in 1910 Of 1900
barrels per day.
This Is In step with the national
forecast which calls for production
Of Abs, 900 barrels per day to meet
market demand In December. This Is
$1,000 barrels daily higher than for
November and $4,000 barrels daily
above the actual demand for Deem
Der, 1910.
The bureau expects further increases
in demand in 1912 and recommends
higher than-norma stocks In districts
east Of California. Present runs TO
stills average 100000 barnes PEI cay
and the bureau expects this rate to be
maintained during the first half OF
1912, representing gain Of about AGO.
600 barrels daily over the relatively
low operations in the first half Of
1941.
mo further heavy liquidation of
crude stocks seems desirable and a
substantial increase would be wise
precaution," the bureau advises.
An increase over a year ago Of 12.5
percent In domestic demand for motor
fuel and exports of 100000 barrels
against 1885, 900 barrels in December,
1910, are the basis Of the step-up in
production and refining.
