 The Germans said 5u0.U0u pris- oners have been taken so far on the terrible battlefields around vyazma and Bryansk
 Russian resistance in blazing and ruined vyazma, the Germans said definitely has been liquidated and the encircled Red forces in Bryansk 210 miles southwest of Moscow. also were declared to be dissolving. Military commentators asserted that the spirit oi the population of Moscow itself is similar to that pre- vailing in Paris on the eve of the French capitals fall
 German accounts described the slaughter at Vyazma as particularly heavy. As the German ring of steel blazed to a close around the city it was said the Russian soldiery sallied forth in ranks l5 feet> deep and more. only to fall in rows be- fore the massed German guns. Roads and fields were left thick with dead, it was stated.

 It is even possible that in the 'haul" may be an armed Nazi raider or two that had been operating down Brazil way.
 Anything may happen these event. ful days since the President enun- ciated U. s. determination to main tain freedom of the seas, and branded Nazi submarines and sur face raiders in American waters as pirates" Armed Nazi ships ARE proving American waters and the U. s. Navy has its orders.
 It can be revealed that neither the Justice nor War Department would be surprised if they had some pirate" seamen and pirate" craft to deal with soon. Both have been quietly studying TOT week the 4aW and precedents concerning such an eventuality.
 The War Department enters the picture because under the law all war prisoners landed on U. s. soil come under the custody of the Army However, the U. s. is not at war, so there is doubt over the Army's jur- isdiction.
 No final decision has been reach ed. but the consensus of the legal experts is that any such pirates should be turned over to the Justice Department.
 One suggested procedure is that the Nazis be landed at U. s. port and then jailed by the Justice De- partment as aliens without pass ports. But most of the legal author
