Soviet Gen. Rokossovsky, in a Moscow radio broadcast, said the Germans were now struggling to hold their lines against red army attacks "on many sectors of the front." German flame-throwers were reported widely in action, darting long tongues of fire over the snow-covered battlefields in attempts to stop the advance of giant Soviet tanks.

Russian front-line dispatches reported Gen. Gregory K. Zhkov's red armies were counter -attackina heavily in four main sectors at Kalinin, 95 miles northwest of Moscow; Volokolamsk, 65 miles northwest of Moscow; Mozhaisk, 57 miles west; and somewhere on the left flank, presumably at Maloyaroslavets, 65 miles southwest of the capital. On the left flank sector, the Moscow radio said "the enemy has been pressed back for four days running." Only in the far southern front, in the Crimea, did the Russians appear to be in immediate jeoparcy. A bulletin from Hitler's field headquarters dlice again silent on operations around Moscow and Leningradsaid German panzer columns had smashed through a six-mile-deep Russian defense zone guarding the narrow Kerch peninsula, gateway to Russia's great Caucasian oil fields.

Battered Baylor, groggy on the ropes as the result of two recent drubbings, struggled to its feet here just 15 seconds before the bell and swung a haymaker on the Texas Longhorns that was good for a draw decision.

Shadows blanketed Waco's municipal stadium as Wild Bill Coleman a sticky-fingered receiver from Kerrville, slipped behind the Texas secondary to take a 19-yard pass from Kit Kittrell that enabled the lowly Bears to tie the Longhorns, victors by five touchdown margins in all but one of six previous tests.

The American-Statesman U. S. May Extend Her Patrols to England Britain Dared To Open 2nd War Front Fuehrer Challenges U.S. Goods Delivery To European War BERLIN, (Sunday). Nov.

9. (UP) Adolf Hitler, addressing the nazi party "old guard" at Munich Saturday night, said his navy would fire on American ships only in self-defense and challenged the United States and Britain to turn the tide of German victory in Russia. Speaking on the 18th anniversary of the beer hall putsch. Hitler ridiculed suggestions that United States industry could replace Soviet losses and dared Britain to attempt to open a "second front" in the west. No American intimidation attempts, such as Pres.

Roosevelt's "shoot first" order, will make Germany capitulate, he told his old party comrades. Defense Only Ordered "The war can last as long as it wants," he said. "The last battalion on the field will be German." It was his first public utterance concerning United States naval patrols. He spoke at the Loewen-braeu beer cellar at Munich, having flown there from the eastern front to make the address. Pres.

Roosevelt has ordered American ships to shoo first, he said, but "I have ordered German ships, when they see American ships, not to shoot against them, but to defend themselves as soon as they are attacked." Challenge Goods Delivery At the same time, however, Hitler directly challenged Mr. Roosevelt's promise to deliver goods to Britain by slating unequivocally his continued determination to sink all ships, with or without convoy, carrying materials for the enemy. Hitler challenged Britain to open a second front in the west now. "I have prepared myself in the west so that the English can attack at any time," he said. "If the English would like to undertake an offensive in Norway or on our German coast, or in Holland, Bclsium or France, we can only say: Come on.

You will step back again faster than you came." Sarcastic Denial He made sarcastic denial of Pres. Roosevelt's recent assertion that Germany had drawn up a map to divide up South America and planned to abolish world religion. "South America lies as far away as the moon," he remarked. Of his alleged plans to abolish religion, Hitler said, "I am now 52 years old and I have other things to do than to bother with childishness or silliness." "If American shiDs fire bv rea son of the president's order, then they do so at their own risk, he warned. (The reference was to Pres.

Roosevelt's recent "shoot- himself," he added He asserted that every German ship had the right to defend itself and that they had been instructed to fire on American ships if attacked. Speaking of the war with Russia, Hitler claimed that the Soviets had suffered such staggering losses that lilt iiiuunujr ui uui vi-ui'- i twt. u. could never replace this, in the next few years He asserted that at least to 10,000,000 Soviet troops, not including those slightly wounded, already hnrl hf-on nut out. nf Charges 'Stupid Efforts' "No armv in the world rnuld recover from thL, not even the Russian," he declared.

In addition, he claimed that the Russians have lost more than planes, more than 22,000 tanks and more than 27,000 cannon.

P)- 1 Designation of Iceland as a full I flcdSed naval operating base stir red conjecture Saturday night that extension of American naval patrols and convoy escorts all the way to Britain was imminent.

While the house was yet to act, authorities forecast that if cargo vessels are permitted to make the whole trip to England they will travel routes protected by American warships. Should the Atlantic fleet add this job to its present assignment of guarding the sea lanes between America and Iceland, the island outpost would become the scene of even more intense military and naval operations that it has experienced since American forces moved in four months ago. Such intensive development of the place had not previously been indicated, but the establishment of a naval operating- base there, within itself an administrative step, showed that numerous naval activities both ashore and afloat had been or were being set up. Even if American bases arc set on the British Isles themselves a not unlikely development it was considered probably that Iceland would remain the most important fleet base in the eastern Atlantic sition on the sea lanes to Britain it is also in a watch-doe rtositinn Direct Vote On Neutrality Set Ballot Expected Not Later Than Thursday WASHINGTON, Nov.
