Minister Winston Churchill today

field" of the United States and all

without such a full measure of CO.
operation by "all nations which as
yet lie outside the range of the
conqueror's power"
He warned that the free men

spared a deepening, darkening and

only to something in the nature

BERLIN, Sept. 4. (UP)-German
informants said today that a far
flung encirclement" of Leningrad
was nearing completion but admit
ted that cneir main forces still had
to break through the three rings
of the city's formidable defense sys-
tenn.
Repeating a claim the Germans
had pushed spearhead to Detskoje
Selo, Is miles south of Leningrad,
the informants said that here the
Germans were still confronted with
the third ring" of the Leningrad
defenses, the inner one.
1t was to be assumed, informantS
added, that the German main forces
farther away were still smashing
against the second ring and possibly
at some places even against the
first"
Informants said frankly that the
Germans attacking Leningrad from
south and west, ana the Germans
and Firms attacking from the north,
still had a tremendous" task ahead
of them.
Further, they said that if the
weather. which was now most un-
favorable and was handicapping
even the air force, did not turn for
the better It might slow the drive
considerably.
Nevertheless the view was taken
that the Germans and Firms were
relentlessly closing in and the Ger
mans were steadily building new
air fields closer and closer to Len
ingrad, for easier aerial attack.
An official news agency dispatch
said Russian coast artillery and
