 Threat to Axis Armies
By ROBERT DOWSON United Press Staff COrrespondenO

London, jan. 14-(UP)-Military reports indicated today that the Rex, army was starting to close the jaws of a gigantic pincer movement or the Moscow front as other Russian forces ripped into the Germans in the Leningrad area and the Crimea, at the opposite end of an HOO mile front.
 Russian victories were reported in five key sectors of the 450-mile front between Leningrad and the Vyazma- BryanSk railroad.
 At the same time, the Russians on three great fronts, Leningrad, Mos COW and the Crimea were driving relentlessly against the Germans and there were uncontirmed reports here that on the fourth front, in the Uk- raine, they were but 12 miles from the industrial center of KharkCv in the DonetS river basin.
 Experts said here that. on the 40jh day of the historic Russian counter offensive, the Germans were faced with a situation before Leningrad and Moscow and in the Crimea which would add to the enormity of the reverseS they had already sui fered.

10000 Tickets Sold In Waterbury Weekly
Spokesman for States Attorneys Office Says Treas ury Balance Sales Has Become Widespread,
 Organized Racket in State

The existence of q widespread, organized racket" which in Water bury alone disposes of approximately 10000 treasury balance tickets each week, was revealed today by Q spokesman for States Atty. William B. Fitzgerald's office.
 While further arrests ill addition to the three already made in con- nection with the lottery racket" are anticipated, the spokesman said that the operations of the gambling ring encompass territory beyond the jurisdiction of local or county police. In this ares he said. the ringleader has aTeady been appre- hended and principally the smaller fry remain to b caught.
 Investigation of the activities Of men connected with the distribution of the treasury tickets, meanwhile, continued with undiminished vigor today. No arrests were reported but indications were that appre- hension of others was not far dis tant.
 Local or county authorities will have no concern about the capture of lottery agents beyond the bor- ders of New H;ven county, but, the belief wa. heard, their opera tions embrace practically the en- tirety Of this state, and at least half of the states ln New England.
 Three of the men accused of being members Of the ring were granted continuances until next Tuesday when arraigned Tn criminal superior court yesterday. All three pleaded guilty. States Atty. Fitzgerald, re- questing the stay of Judge Robert L. Munger, said that he desired more time to continue with inves- tigations.
 The trio, helt under bonds total- ling $7,O00, consists of Rocco Solo, mito, 29, of 79 Stiles street; Louis c. Willard 26, of 388 Waterville street, and David Platt, 29, of A3 North Leonard street.

 BACKS PRESIDENT
Republicans Have No Right to Demand Places in
 War Cabinet

Boston, Jan. 14--(UP)-Republi- can Atty .-Gen. Robert T. Bushnell of Massachusetts believes Republi- cans have no right to demand a place in President Roosevelt's war cabinet--a view sharply opposed to that of House Minority Leader Jo- seph w. Martin, Jr., of Massachu- sets.
 T do not subscribe to the theory that Republicans have right to demand that the President take in- to his councils Republican partisans who have won doubtful distinction as isolationiSts and have contributed their full share to the condition in which we find ourselves" Bushnell said last night at Young Men's Republican League dinner
 Monday, Martin, chairman of the Republican national committee, con- ferrcd with MT. Roosevelt on the selection of certain Republicans for the advisory war board
 Bushnell said he thought the President did pretty we'll in an at tempt to keep partisanshlp out ot the conduct of the war" and praised his selection of Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and Secretary of War Henry l.. Sumson.
 The national leadership of ootn parties has made our present task of winning the war more difficult, Both, when in power, have made mietoLes and blunlerS which in the light of subsequent events, seems al most criminal.
 "Whatever the faults and mis- takes of President Roosevelt, the country is in far better position with him as its president than 1t would have been had some of the Repub- lican politicians succeeded in nomi- mating and elcctirS an appeaser, ar iSolatiGnist or fencf-straddlar."

 TO ALTER SPEECH
Last Minute Changes Were Made When President
 Named Nelson

Washington, Jan. IA. - (UPD = Wendell L. Willkie, who addressed the U. $. Conference of Mayors last night, was forced to make last min ute revisions in his speech following the surprise appointment of Donald M. Nelson as chief of the new war production board.
 In his prepared address, copies of which were made available to the press hours before delivery time, the 1940 Republican prcsidentia! nominee sharply criticized the ad- ministration for the war production setup.

For Nearly DaysM'A Arthur Has Halted All Jap Blows
Generalissimo Nelson Is Supreme; Only President Outranks Him
Most Powerful Position Ever Given Civilian Since
 War President Wilson
BY JOHN D. GONZALES

Washington, January IA. CUP)
 Appointment of Donald M. Nel- son as generalissimo of the arsenal of democracy" - anSwerable only to President Roosevelt for industry's war production indicated today the quick establishment of a supreme allied supply council to coordinate deliveries to the armies of the United Nations.
 Nelson, former Chicago mail order house executive who rose to the top of the war production setup in IS months, and Lord Beaverbrook Great Britains minister of supply, presumably would be the most im- portant members of the supply council.
 President Roosevelt announced last night that Nelson would be named chairman and responsible director His decisions will be finap'-of a new war production board replac- ing the supply priorities and alloca- tions board which took the top de- fense production spot from the of flee of production management last August.
 Nelson's is the most powerful posi- ton given a civilian by a war presi- dent since Woodrow Wilson made Herbert c. Hoover food administra- tor during World War I. The war production board parallels the World War industries board which was headed by Bernard M. Baruch.
 Just Like BeaverbrOok
 Nelson's new job will place him in a position comparable to that held by Beaverbrook in Britain. Some sources said the powers contem- plated for him would make him virtual minister of supply and place him "head and shoulders" above any other official in the government eX- cept MT. Roosevelt.
 It was believed in many quarters that Nelson might be made the head of the new allied supply council even over Beaverbrook. The specu- lation was based on belief that an

 to American "TObruk" JAPANESE PAY DEARLY
 FOR THEIR ASSAULTS Americans, Filipinos Are Still "Packing Punch"
 to Smash Jap Invaders
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondentl

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, January IA. - (UP) - General Douglas MacArthur's m e n ave. beaten off two more "de- termined" Japanese attacks in Bataan, the War Depart ment reported today, and U. s. warplanes have sunk two Japanese lighters in op- erations for defense of the Dutch East Indies.
 It was the first time the War Department officially had con- firmed that American air power had joined the Dutch in combined efforts to beat off the Japanese offensive against the oil and rubber rich Indies.
 The American planes - the com- munique said three participated i'll the operation attacked Japanese landing forces at Tarakan, rich oil island adjacent to the northeast Borneo coast, and sank two lighters which were engaged in putting Japa- nese troops ashore on the island.
 On Luzon, where MacArthur is fighting to turn his Bataan- -Corre- gidor positions into an American "Tobruk" the Japanese attacked his Bataan lines twice but were beaten off. The Americans were said to have inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese forces which at tempted to assault the U. s. lines despite the failure of their artillery preparations of the day previous.
 Found No Weak Spot
 The War Department character ized the Japanese operations III Bataan as reconnaissance ill force" indicating that Japanese pressed forward in an attempt to find weak spots in the U. s. lines against which the main assault could be delivered.
 These attacks were well supported by artillery and aircraft the com munique said. American and Phi lippine casualties were comparative ly small.
 Again, the Japanese air force was employed entirely in support of ground operations and new attacks were made on American fortifica- tions. including Corregidcr.
 The War Department reported that information from Mindanao and Jolo Islands in the Philippines indicated the Japanese were estab- fishing advance bases there for the support of their operations against the Dutch Indies and Ma.aya.
 Important Jap Base
 Mindanao is the southernmost large Philippine island where the, Japanese have set up an important base at Davao. Jolo is small island southwest of Mndanao in the Sulu archipelago close to the northeast Borneo coast. It is about 100 miles southwest of zamboanga.
 The U. $. air attack on the Jap- anese landing operations at Tarakan was carr ed out in lmfavorable weather, the cmomunique said, which made 1t difficult to determine
