German tank columns were said
by Berlin to be driving four abreast
within possibly so or 60 miles of
the Soviet capital while dive bomb
ers and paratroops battled to dis
rupt the Russian lines.
Moscow dispatches admitted enc
my gains but said that the Red
army still was intact and fighting
back SO powerfully that heavy losses
were inflicted on the enemy. Lon-
don military experts were concern
ed lest the main Russian forces he
entrapped in the Moscow area.
The Axis pressure on Japan TO
strike in the Far East from which
some Russian forces were reported
withdrawn appeared to be ncreaS-
ing and vital decisions seemed im-
minent at Tokyo
AMERICA CRITICIZED
The extreme nationalist organiza-
ton Tohokai demanded that the
japanese government end negotia-
tions with the United States for
easing the Pacific crisis. This was
supported in part by meeting OF
OO lllcIllOClo Vi CliN iiOIoS VI iNPAN
sentatives organization seeking to
encourage the government to carry
out forcibly and speedily plans for
a new order in East Asia.
Neither Moscow nor Berlin gave
definite positions around Moscow.
The Germans claimed, however.
that Nazi panzer columns with
tanks roaring along the highways
four abreast behind dive bomber
attacks had smashed through the
Tula sector south of the Soviet cap
ital and the Kalinin sector TO the
north.

GAINS ADMITTED
Moscow dispatches admitted ene-

Food for Britain

WASHINGTON. Oct Is CUPp
Secretary of Agriculture Claud"
Wickard told a senate subcOmnit =
tee considering the new lendlease
bill today that Britain still needs
81 900, 100000 worth of American
food in the next five months even
though her reserves of wheat are
the largest she has had since the
var began.
Committee members who atteI d
ed the secret hearing said he eN-
planned that Britain especially needs
dairy products, eggs. and vegetables
to supplement staples in order to
maintain national health. He said
there was no conflict between his
request for more than 100000 ,0OC
OF new lend-lease funds for food,
and the recent statement Of Lord

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
(UP)-Signing Of the first
TRADE treaty between the
United States and Argentina
since 1853 was hailed today
in administration circles as a ma
jor diplomatic victory over axis fe-
forts to penetrate the western heml-
sphere.
The treaty was signed last night
in BuenoS Aires after 10 years or
more of efforts by both countries
TO improve trade with each other
It does not require senate ratiflca-
ton.
The United States and Argentina
long have been trade rlVals-both

entS Efforts in the past to I'M
prove trade relations have failed
principally because both have large
surpluses of similar farm products
for export wheat. wool, beef, corn
and other foodStuffS.
Closing of the deal has political
implications of great Importance
hidden behind the prosaic listings
of trade terms, percentages and sta
tistics of some 200 tariff items.
But this did not present western
