cRIMEAN GAINS CLAIMED

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-The German
army of the Crimea has stormed
to the shores of the narrow strait
facing the Caucasus, the high COM
mand announced tonight, but the
Moscow and Leningrad fronts were
reported all but static.
In the Crimea, German troops
were declared to have reached the
east coast just south of Kerch,
possibly within sight of the west
er nCaucasian stretches, in a con-
tinuing ''hot pursuit. of the Soviet
defenders. Kerch and Sevastopol,
the main Soviet Black sea naval
base in the southwestern Crimea,
were reported under bombing at
tack.
About Leningrad, the only fight
ing officially reported was a Rus
sian ''breakout'' attempt which
was said to have been crushed.
To observers who day after day
read the German military reports
of the winter of 1939-4O, while the
Nazi troops lay stationary in the
West Wall, the current bulletins
from the Moscow front have taken
on a striking similarity.
The wintry character of the
fighting also was reflected in
news picture of S (Elite) troops
in white ghost jackets designed
to make soldiers indistinguishable
against a snowy background.
While the authoritative commen-
tary Dienst aus Deutschland spoke
of disorganized Soviet railway sys-
TENS as the Russians biggest
problem, the official news agency
DNB reported that the chaos had
been widely extended overnight.
In the southern sector alone, said
the agency, four trains and four
locomotives were broken to bits
by bombs.
In discussion of reports that
American shipments of war ma
terials were going to the Russian
White sea port of Archangel, mill
tary informants denied knowledge
of any arrivals at that port. They
said that at Leningrad the tenn
perature already had fallen to four
below zero, Fahrenheit, and that
on the White sea, itself, it was
considerably colder than that.
They added that the Russians
must use slow and laborious ice
breakers to keep Archangel open
during the winter and that a long
convoy following one would be
just the target a German pilot
would want. l

ARSENAL STRIKE AVERTED

CLEVELAND, Nov. 12.- Up -
Last-minute government action ap-
parently dispelled late today the
threat of strike tomorrow of more
than 1000 workers at the $57,000,000
Ravenna arsenal.
David B. Robertson, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, said the four
unions involved received telegram
from Robert P. Patterson, assistant
secretary of war, assuring them of
action by Monday on proposed labor
contracts if the threatened walkout
were postponed.
Robertson said the union leaders
were recommending that their men,
bers agree at meeting tonight to
postpone the strike until Wednes
day, Nov. 10, to give the War de.
partment ample time.
