The Mose w radio, as heard by the United i the Germans rammed. their way into .the southern and western suburbs of the city which is one of the chief Russian arsenals. The Russians were holding off the attack, street- to street and house to house. The Red Army was reported to have broken up German tank attacks designed to “by-pass” . Tula and to have recaptured a number of villages and destroyed 160 enemy tanks in the heavy fighting on the Moscow front. Inside Tula, said the Russian report, war factories continue in full operation, turning out shells, bullets and arms. However, the equipment of some of the plants has been removed due to the closeness of the fighting lines. The Moscow radio broadcast a Pravda editorial indicating that the Russians shortly will be sending large numbers of ski troops into action as well as armored sledges of the types used in the winter war with Finland.

BERLIN, Nov. 17 (U. P.).—An official announcement today said that Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi ideological leader, has been named reichminister for the “occupied eastern territories” of Russia—a vast region stretching from the Baltic States to the occupied Ukraine.

Rosenberg has long been regarded as the chief “idea” man of the Nazi party. He is a Russian by birth, born at Tallin, Estonia, of German Baltie parentage. He became naturalized as a German sub-

Japan, they insist, is not merely because the Uflited States

and Germany are at grips. Japan is free to decide for herself. In fact, according to the above sources, Japan ‘does not wish war" with the United States. The economic blockade imposed upon her by America, Britain, China and the Dutch has. already played havoc with

Official dispatches “said that Kerch, which guards the Kerchen< ski straits between the Crimea and the Caucasus, had fallen to the Germans. (Red Army troops were reported still holding strong’ positions at Yerukle, six miles east of Kerch and on the Kerchenski Straits.) An authorized German spokesman said that Kerch was at least as important as Sebastopol “and probably is still more important to the battle for the Caucasus.” A spokesman claimed that fall of the city gives the Germans complete control of the Sea of Azov,| blocking shipment of supplies to Rostov by sea. Occupation of Kerch means that Rostov is outflanked and that the
