German U-Boat BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Destruction of 20 troop-laden German transports attempting a sneak-landing along the frozen wastes of the Murmansk coast was announced today (Sunday) by the Russians. The report of this smashing success on the Far Northern front was accompanied by a Moscow radio announcement of another victory in the south annihilation of 2,500 Italians in the Donets basin. In its account of the Arctic victory, the Moscow radio said Russian troops made a forced seven-mile march across frozen tundra of the Murmansk region to foil the Nazis. The Russians said Red army forces reached the coast a jump ahead of the Germans, who launched the abortive landing from the Rybachi peninsula, which juts out into the Barents sea from the Finnish-Russian border.

Before the Germans had a chance to land the Russians said they were destroyed by the point-blank fire of the Red forces. Coupled with these reported successes at both ends of the front, the Russians declared that Adolf Hitler's invasion armies, huddling in trenches before Leningrad and Moscow, now have lost their lightning-war tempo for the first time since the Fuehrer sent them rampaging into France and the Low Countries 18 months ago. The British air force, doing its part to keep the Germans busy in the west, battered Occupied France in day and night assaults after weather-enforced idleness for the past several days. Lashing back, the Germans raided the Northeast English coast by day yesterday, killing several persons. While admitting a critical situation in the Crimea, where the Germans asserted that the fall of Russia's big Black sea naval base of Sevastopol was "just a question of time," Soviet dispatches said the battle line was now stabilized from the Gulf of Finland to the mud-bogged Ukraine.

Obviously worn by his long and hurried Journey from Tokyo, he alighted from a plane at the Washington national airport, was greeted by Klchisaburo Nomura, the Japanese ambassador, and told reporters: "i realize tne cuincuity or my task, but so long as. there exists such sympathy on the part of thef people of the United States for Japan, I still have a fighting chance to make a success of my mission." "If you were a betting man, Mr Ambassador," a reporter said, "what would you say were the odds against you?" "You'll have to be- the bookmak-er," Kurusu laughingly replied. He had come to America, he said to "assist not to instruct" Ambassador Nomura, In the trying nego tiations that lie ahead American officials, as well as Ku rusu were hardly Inclined to mini mise the difficulty of the emissary's mission, japan is committed 'o economic, and If necessary, military domination of the Orient.

On a third play from scrimmage, Grizzles, who had been cautiously punting on third down, fooled the Vandals. Arnold Scott, lightning Plainsman, fled through the Idaho line with the ball, twisted out of the grasp of half a dozen tacklers, eluded the secondary, and sprinted 57 yards across the goal line. His sparkling speed again was a winning asset for Montana. Eso Naranche's goal try was wide.

Billy Jones was the pivot point in the second touchdown when he hounded an Idaho fumble on an end-around, Mllo Anderson hobbling the ball' and Jones recovering on the Vandal 29-yard line as the first period ended.

Miners Report, But Situation Muddled. Washington, Nov. 16. (Sunday) (IP) A spreading work stoppage throughout the soft coal industry to reinforce the United Mine Workers' demand for a union shop in the captive pits appeared imminent today as a midnight strike deadline passed with the operators and the union still deadlocked. With the dispute still unbroken, President Roosevelt conferred with Secretary of War Stimson and Army officers, apparently mapping a course of governmental action.

The President has voiced determination that the captive mines, supplying fuel for vital defense forces, must operate. Spreads to Illinois. A few hours In advance of the midnight deadline which John L. Lewis set and stuck to for expiration of the truce in the captive mine strike, a lieutenant served notice on the Illinois operators chat "it may become necessary momentarily" to call out all the miners in that state. The Illinois operators signed a contract lining up with the Appalachian agreement only October 27.

Lewis, as president of the C. I. O. United Mine Workers union previously had warned the commercial operators under the eight-state Appalachian agreement with major producers that work might be stopped in the commercial mines if the captive mines held out against the union shop provision embodied in the Appalachian contract.

Nazi military dispatches admitted that Soviet General Gregory K. Zhukov's Central front armies were counter-attacking before Moscow, but asserted they had been repulsed.

14. One or more ace German U-boat captains may have been sent Into the Mediterranean with the specific assignment to get the Ark Royal, British aircraft carrier, which was sunk Friday with an officially announced casualty list of but one sailor, Informed commentators said today. Authoritative quarters were silent on the German claim that two submarines captained by Lieutenant Commanders Hans George Reshke and Frledrlch Guggenberger sank the Royal, but well-posted quarters conceded that skillful submarine commanders would be able to feel their way through the 10-mile wide strait at Gibraltar. Italian submarines have been able to do It in going into the they pointed out. (Knocked-down German submarines may also have been assembled at Italian shipyards, or submarines may have been built there, or Italian submarines may have taken over by German crews.) The Ark Royal casualty roll, in the sinking went steadily downward in successive announcements during the day.

First the admiralty said only 18 of the crew of 1,600 were missing. Then A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, in a speech at Liver pool, said not more than two or three men had been lost. Finally, in a second communique, the ad miralty announced that only one sailor was missing and that he was presumed to have been killed.
