 Resistonee in City
 Expected to Buckle

Batavia, Nov. l3 -CUP)- British troops fought their way into the center of Soerabaja behind a roll ing aerial and artillery barrage to- day and official sources predicted that Nationalist resistance in the city would be crushed before the weekend.
 British headquarters spokesmen said infantrymen of the 5th Indian division penetrated into the mod ern business section of Soerabaja in the heart Of the East Java naval base.
 The bulk of the Indonesian Ex- tremists were believed concentrated in the central area and dispatches from the city said they were being blasted out of their barricades by point blank artillery fire and aerial bombardment.
 The Dutch Aneta news agency said large areas of Soerabaja were aflame from the British shelling and that an a,000-ton Japanese ship in the harbor caught fire yester- day
 Casualties among the Nationalists apparently were running high Brit ish officers said groups of as many as 1000 Indonesians were being broken up by the steady ground ard air hammering
 Seven Indian soldiers were wound ed in yesterdays fighting, but it was indicated that British losses were mounting as the advance car ried into the core of the Nationalist positions.
