LENINGRAD FEARS NAZI OFFENSIVE Indications Point To Ger man Attempt To Reduce Encircled City LONDON, May 11.â W âLenin gradâs rooftop spotters have re ported Germans working waist - deep in chill water to prepare as sault trenches. Soviet dispatches said today, and belief was expres sed that the Nazis might be plan ning an all-out attack on the stub born city that has held oui for eight months against encirclement. With its outskirts still under Ger man artillery fire and its Admir alty building in spy glass view of the German lines, the city report ed that other air and ground ac tivities of the Germans indicated they may be turning their atten tion to a new attempt to reduce the city. Moscow reports said snow flur ries, apparently the last of the season, had been experienced on the northern front, but west of Moscow Russian guardists parad ed on the Mozhaisk highway in a warm spring sun. Further south in the Ukraine, the ground was re ported already dry for military operations. But in these sectors the Germans made no move to throw an offen sive into gear, and the Russians announced only local actions. In one of these, northwest of Moscow, the Germans were said to have been driven from a stra tegic hill by aerial bombing follow ed by infantry assault. The Germans lost 400 men, four guns and four radio transmitters in another action on the same front when they were frustrated in an attempt to penetrate behind Soviet lines. Guerrillas west of Moscow were credited with the wrecking of two trains which cost the Germans 1.000 military dead. 3 -V Evangelist Jones Speaking In City Evangelist Thea F.

A New Delhi communique an nounced a Japanese raid yester day on a small town in Eastern Assam in which both casualties and damage were moderate. Axis reports told of an attack on the Indian town of I m p h a 1 (Manipur). 40 miles west of the Burma frontier. In the theater of the Indian ocean, the best available informa tion here indicated that the British forces which seized the naval har bor of Diego Suarez on the Vichy French island of Madagascar were continuing occupation of other im. portant points on the island. Vichy radio reports were to the effect that resistance continued, but this was assumed to refer only to the action of small, isolated French units. The destruction by French troops of the airfield at Anivarano and of all gasoline stores of the French air force also was reported in Vichy. NAZI SPRING DRIVE OPENS IN CRIMEA (Continued from Page One) concerned, the Russians them selves are believed .amply prepar ed for the counter-use of poison gas should they decide that the Germans intend really to apply it on anything save an experimental scale. Long before Germany crashed into Poland, Russian military lead ers warned they would use "buck ets of gas" on any enemy who dared to use that weapon against them. A Main Objective To the Russians it has been ob vious that one of Hitlerâs main 1942 objectives would be the Caucasus. Many believe Germanyâs most pressing need is oil if she is to continue the war. When last in the Caucasus I saw :he ample Russian defense prepar ations, but I am not at liberty of course to disclose them. However, aundreds of sturdy Russian re cruits were a familiar sight in ma leuvers. Morale was high, and has aken a preceptible upward curve of course ever since the mighty Red winter offensive threw back the Germans from the gates of this capital last December. The Germans had made another threat to the Caucasus by reaching Rostov on the Black sea shore, but VTarshal Semeon Timoshenkoâs vig orous push hurled them back to Taganrog where the Nazi armies still are anchored and inactive de spite the hardening of the soil, soviet pressure continues there and all along the vast front in an effort to keep the Germans from jetting set for a counter-offensive. The Russian grip on Sevastopol -emains a steady threat to any German push in the Kerch area, rhe Soviets estimate that approxi nately 50,000 Nazis have died on he deadly approaches to that be sieged city. Preliminary reports did not give he exact strength of this sizeable Nfazi push toward Kerch. Nor is it mown just how much of the Ke~ch irea is held by the Russians who rave had months to fortify their aold. After Hitlerâs winter campaign sizzled the Russians took the of ensive and pushed the Germans Pack some 30 miles from Kerch and recaptured the Crimean port af Feodosiya, but later were forced :o abandon the latter. In other sectors, tonightâs com munique said, there were no ma serial changes during the day. It isted 38 German planes destroyed vesterday to 12 Soviet losses. 3 :hinese draw^ RING TIGHTER AROUND JAPS (Continued from Page One) lay Japanese offensive which the snemy termed âmopping up oper ationsâ was said by the Chinese to have resulted in a general de teat for 20,000 Japanese troops.

For one, Senator Reed (R-Kan) said there had been evidence of âconfusionâ and of âwide differ ence of opinionâ among officials concerned with the problem, so much so that âsometimes there creeps into our minds a doubt as to whether some of the things ,which are being done are neces sary.â Senator White (R-Me) complain ed that Maine- residents would be restricted to three gallons a week, but that just across the border in Canada a tourist was allowed about 120 gallons for use in a six weeks period. Belatedly, the War Production Board issued formal authority to OPA to carry out the rationing. The authority is restricted to the 17 Eastern states and the District of Columbia, to the corporate lirm its of the City of Bristol, Tenn.. and, in addition, to any point within 50 miles of the boundaries of the rationed area. iUt lOtlU Cl UV11W1X hj is U* vide means to prevent persons liv ing in the fringe of the restricted area from driving into the unre stricted areas for gasoline. Such persons would have to show a ra tion card to obtain gasoline in the no-manâs land just as they would at home, OPA advised motorists travelling in the rationed area to âget home if possible before rationing startsâ The regulation makes no provi sions for driving cars long dis tances, except by application to local rationing boards. Therefore, vacationists will be able otherwise to buy only the amount of gasoline available with âAâ ration cards. The âAâ cards will contain seven spaces, each good for the purchase of âoneâ unitâthree gallons of gas oline. The purchases may be spread throughout the seven-week period covered by the card, or may be made all at once. There are three classes of âBâ i cards for those entitled for vo cational reasons to additional sup plies. The âB-lâ card will entitle the holder to 11 units, the âB-2â to 15 units, and the âB-3â to 19 units. Commercial vehicles and public carriers, as well as vehicles op erated by Federal, state, local or foreign governments, will receive âXâ cards, permitting the pur chase of unrestricted quantities of gasoline. Federal Spending Doubles In April WASHINGTON, May 11.â (,f) â Daily war spending in April was almost double that of the month before Pearl Harbor, War Production Director Nelson report ed today and more than four times greater than the daily rate of spending of April last year. Nelson said Americans could âdraw much satisfaction,â from the report because it meant a âmighty mobilization of materials, machines and man-power is pro ceeding at a rapid pace.â Nelson added that now we must strive to increase the daily rate of expen diture greatly. -V-7 Youth Goes On Trial For Killing Sweetheart CHICAGO, May 11â(J>)âClarence McDonald, 17, went on trial today on a charge of murdering his beau tiful high school sweetheart in a loop movie house but proceedings were interrupted by an argument over his sanity. A jury was being selected when Attorney Donald D. Rogers stated the defense would seek to show that debonair youth was insane when he shot seventeen year old Dorothy Broz to death and that he was insane now. Prosecutors made an issue of that point. They asked Chief Jus tice Robert J. Dunne of the crim inal court to impanel a jury im mediately to determine McDonaldâs mental condition. Rogers objected. The judge agreed to rule on the motion tomorrow. -,y Bulkelev Views PT Bon* Building Works BAYONNE. "T. J.. Mav it.â (A>!â Lieut. John D.

The aged marshal and his wife were expected tomorrow morning after cutting short their Riviera vacation because of undisclosed âevdnts.â (Presumably Washing tonâs action in dealing directly with Admiral Georges Robert, French high commissioner in Martinique, for a new âarrangementâ about that French Caribbean island, in stead of with pro-Axis Pierre La val, was one of the âeventsâ dic tating Petainâs return.) Nine youthful members of Jac ques Doriotâs Rightist, collabora tionist party paraded yesterday be fore the American embassy here, shouting âDown with the United States; long live France.â Several hundred other French men soon booed them off the scene, calling them âpigs,â and âtraitors.â line aispatcn xeuing 01 uus ueiu jnstration was delayed a full day by Vichy censorship.)
