, man advance was slower than in previous offensives despite the huge forces employed and suggested the Germans would be unable to stand the strain for long.
 It was believed the slower rate of Nazi progress is due to the gradually shortening front and the fact that the Germans are meeting greater and greater resistance in depth and greater masses of Soviet infantry and mechanized forces.
 Pravda said Soviet airplanes and anti-aircraft crews have already de- stroyed more than 600 planes on Moscows approaches and said the city now resembles a vast entrench- ed camp from the periphery to the center of the city.
 Bloody Affair m Libya
 Cairo, Nov. British and German armored forces are locked in a great tank battle near Rezegh, the British high command reported today, and New Zealand forces have stormed into Gambut, halfway point between Bardia and Tobruk.
 A British spokesman said that "hand to hand fighting" is in prog ress in tough battle in the Gam bat sector, which is regarded as par ticularly important because the Brit ish seized the large forward oil sup ply dump established there by the Axis.
 Both sides were said to have suf- fered heavy casualties in the desert tank fighting.
 The battle, it was indicated. may determine the whole course of the British offensive in Libya and the fate of the Axis armies in Africa
 It has been in progress for more than 48 hours, the British communi- que reported. and is being waged with utmost resolution by both sides.
 The British, 1t was reported, are attempting to drive tank barrier across a two-mile gap which sepa- rates their emerging beseiged forces in Tchruk and the main armored striking force-a gap through Gen. Erwin Rommel is believed to be moving his forces westward for a new stnad on the fortified mountain brariers in the Derna region.
 Headquarters C0mmuntque
 Following is tlie text of the head quarters communldue:
 "The main battle between British and German forces continued in the area about Sidi Rezegh. This battle. which is being fought with the ut- most resolution by both sides. has been in progress without cessation for over 38 hours.
 Meanwhile, New Zealand forces which captured Sidi A2eiz and Ca- puzzo, continued their move west ward along the Trigh-Capuzzo road and captured Gambut, an important enemy supply center half way be- tween oTbruk and Bradia.
 Tn the Halfaya-Sidi Omar area Indian troops continue operations in the rear of enemy defensive posi- tions which now are cut off from the west.
 British forces from Tobruk are consolidating the ground they have taken and they report the capture among other material a number of enemy field guns.

 As the Rose Shop building was al- most burned away, Chief Cavanaugll feared that the front of the build- ing might collapse into the street and he ordered the area cleared. It ap- peared from the street as If the aer- ial ladder of Truck 3 lodged against the top of the building, was the only thing holding up the three-story front.
 The hydraulic apparatus operat- ing the ladder went out of order and firemen braced the ladder with ropes to buildings across the street to prevent 1t from falling into the building in case of collapse. When the ladder was taken down, long after midnight, 1t was so deeply inbedded in the front wall that the top had to be chopped free.
 Stocks of the stores in the burned buildings were destroyed for the most part. Even the stock that firemen were able to remove was badly damaged.
 Marshal Lahey planned to con- tinue his probe into the cause of the fire this afternoon. Removal of debris, he believed, might enable his staff to ascertain where the blaze had originated and what had caused if

Every regular po- liceman and supernumerary went on duty when the general alarm was sounded and all were speed- fly put to work handling the auto traffic and the huge crowd of ped- estrians. Supt. Roach estimated that there were well over 10000 spectators at the scene.
 South Main Was Tangle
 Police were able to block off part of Brook street and keep spectators back but on South Main street their task was much harder. The crowds on both the north and south sides of the fire area kept attempt- ing to surge forward for bet- ter view.
 Several times Chief Thomas P. Cavanaugh and Supt. Roach had warnings issyed to city officials, rec porters, photographers and others allowed to pass through the fire lines that building walls were in danger of collapse and that they might be endangered.

 Second Week of Conference
 Washington, Nov. 24-(Up)- United States Japanese negotiations entered their second week today with a growing hope that peace rather than war will be the out- come.
 Conversations between Secretary of State Cordell Hull and two Jap- anese envoys, Saburo Kurusu and Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura, were recessed over Sunday. But they talked until late Saturday night in Hull's apartment in the Wardman-Park hotel.
 No formal meeting has beeIi scheduled for today. but the State Department said the discussions would be resumed early this week
 Following e conference of almost three hours with Hull Saturday morning, representatives of Aus. tralia, Britain, China and Tho Netherlands governments sent re. ports to their home ofices. They said they were in full agreement with the American viewpoint.
 During that conference, British Ambassador ViEcount Halifax, Aus traiia's Minister Richard G. Casey, Netherlands' Minister pr. A. Lou- don and Chinese Ambassador Hu Shih received 8 full report on what Hull has discussed with the Japan ese and the position he has taken.
 All were silent following the meeting but Halifax made clear that there was little ground for the pessimistic assumption in some quarters that there could be no peaceful settlement of the Far East. ern situation.
 The cheerful attitude of Dr. Hu Shih, who came to the conference from sick bed, also gave the gen. eral impression that China would not be sacrificed for the sake of peace.
 The attitude of these conferees was relayed to the Japanese who met with Hull in the evening. thus serving to emphasize the united front of the powers wikls interests igr the Far East. While the Soviet Union was not represented, no doubt existed that her interests

were protected. The interests of the other powers are at present so closely tied up with Russia that a settlement which would leave Japan free to move against the Soviet Union was out of the question.
 Japan Talks Fight
 Tokyo, Nov. 24--(UP) )--PremieE Gen. Hideki Tojo told conference of prefectural governors today that "there is no retreat from Japant immutable policies"
 He said Japan was facing an tin. precedented crisis and expressed confidence she would surmount all obstacles.
 Tojo made no reIerence to pres ent negotiations with the United States but said that in event Of 8 military crisis the government and public would cooperate "resoiutely."
 About 60 prefectural governors attended the conference to hear an outline of the government's foreign policy and to discuss domestic prob- lems.
 HE newspaper &OAAAuAA DaAd tAAC United States, Britain, China and The Netherlands were hostile to Japan and 1t described the Wash- ington meeting of their envoys on Saturday as a threat which no longer Is useful" Peace in the Pa- cific can be maintained only by acc ceptance of Japan's principles" Nichi Nichi said Secretary of State Cordell Hui had assembled representative of nations hostile to Japan. Asahi said anti-Japanese measures had been planned at the meeting.
 "This fact bespeaks as ever the lack of American sincerity regard ing Japan" Asahi said. A headline of Washington dispatch on D. s. Japanese talks read: Japan and United States in Earnest Towards Maintenance of Peace in the Pa cific."

as such countries as Portugal and Finland. Ire purpose of this meet ing, it was said, would be to seek a permanent peace formula for the European continent, under German domination.
 New Ground Work
 The Berlin meeting this week, 1t was believed, might be an attempt to establish the ground work for such a move in behalf of the Axis new order.
 London reported that the German negotiations with Vichy were in- tended to get a quick agreement for German troops to land in Tunisia in order to aid in stemming the British drive into Libya, or if necessary for the Axis forces to fall back from Eihya into Tlnisia.
 Japan's role at the Berlin Anti Communist conference was consld- cred of special interest in view of the United States efforts to split Tokyo away from the Axis. It ap- peared likely that the Nazis had put special emphasis on the Berlin meeting in order to bring pressure nn the Japanese to stand firm, or to eenew their expansion program in tne Orient at q time when 1t would be most embarrassing to the United States and Britain.
 ElnIand's role in the new order also vas believed involved. At Hel- xfnkig. it was said that an an- mouncement could be expected to- a1orrow in regard to the ant-Com- munlsk pact and this was considered especially significant in connection with German pressure for Finland to rnfect American attempts to bring about an armistlce between Finland and Russia.

 Moscow Admits Break

Russian cav airy wiped out a battalion of infan- try in a counter attack, the radio said, and in the Mozhaisk sector Russian lines held strongly. In the Maloyaroslavets sector the Russians claimed to have repulsed all attacks and killed 1900 Germans)
 Despite Russian success on the other fronts, all eyes here were or Moscow.
 The threat was frankly described as the most crucial since the start of Adolf Hitler's all-out attempt tc capture the capital Oct. 2.
 The Germans have poured 40 divi- s!ons, probably 600,000 men, into an assault upon 150 miles of Moscow's front line defenses. They are attack ing from the north, from the north western, from the west, from the southwest and from the south.
 At the head of the offensive are the German Panzer divisions, Soviet sources estimated that half of all the Nad Panzer forces left intact In the wehrmacht after five months of fighting in Russia are being em' played. This probably means a force of at least half a dozen and possibly eight Panzer divisions with possibly 1 GOO to 1900 tanks and arnlorec fighting machines.
 Biggest Wedge Into SOviets
 The biggest wedge driven into the Russian lines appeared to be that at Kiln, midway between Mos- COW and Kalinin. only 5l miles north of the capital. Striking with an ar- mored spearhead, the Germans cracked the lines north of Volokol- amsk and rolled forward to tEe rail- road line.
 The Red army fell back to new positions here. It also fell back on the Mozhaisk front. It fell back on the northern salient and 1t fel' back around Tula.
 Confirming the German break throughs, the Communist party newspaper, Pravda urged all Rus sians to a supreme effort to check the offensive. It declared that Mos cows defenses and the Red army's resources are greater than they were a north ago when the Germans were stopped.
 "All out defense of Moscowl" was the watchword. Mot one backward step!"

 inR what constitutes the dividing llne between civilian and defense manufacture, Mir, Sanger stated that OPM has fixed "A-i0" on the rat ings list as the lowest point at which Q plant may expect to be re- garded as engaged in producing for defense needs,
 Descending Scale
 The descending scale of priority rights Is, of course, determined be how vitally the plants output is needed, but the component parts ot the finished product, although made elsewhere, fall into the same privi- leged category.
 By way of Illustration, MT, Sanger pointed out that ships, both mer- cantile and warning, are @ prime national necessity at present. The ship.huilders, who in most cases merely assemble the parts of the craft on the ways, sublet contracts for the production of parts, The manufacturer receiving the second- ary contract is granted the same priority as the ship-builder, and plants, in turn, awarded what may Do termed "sub-suh-let contracts also are entitled to equal recogni- ton. The process, carried to its ulti- mate extreme, winds up with "A-I-a' prlorities for the miner of the basic ore.
 As the necessity for ships dim- anlshes, the rating of merchant and naval craft also falls, so that, pos sibly two or three years hence, it will have dropped to c low point on the scale, and been superseded by other commodities more sorely need- ed at tn etin.
 Lowest Defense
 Among businesses, industries and establishments listed in the lowest defense classification are hospitals Eanitoria, clinics, charitable irsti- tutions and publishing houses, The greatest possible latitude is allowed an determining what is essential to keep the wheels of industry turning
