Germans are advancing slowly to-
ward the city limits of Sevastopol
on several sectors, and in "some
places where they have managed
TO break through there is fighting
in the immediate region of the
Crimean naval base, the Soviet
army newspaper Red Star said
today.
"There Is an exceptionally

Star said.
(This dispatch, directly from
Sevastopol, contradicted Adolf
Hitler's announcement yester-
day that the city had fallen to
the Germans and Rumanians
who had been pounding at it for
26 days.
FIERCER FIGHTING
("The fighting at Sevastopol
is growing ever fiercer," Radio
Moscow was heard broadcasting
in London. 1.-THE Fascists are
suffering colossal losses and con-
tinually throwing new reserves
into ceaseless attacks, which
meet courageous resistance.")

today reported that the Russians
had fought the Germans all last
night at Sevastopol, and that the
Germans had lost 1000 men on
one sector of The Kursk front
