Russ Defense
Exceeds Hopes
Surprise British
BY Holding Nozis
BY UNITED PRESS

Reliable information on the
German Russian war, while
incomplete, makes it appear
that the Russians, not fully
prepared for an attack which
came on comparatively short
notice, are putting up a bet
ter fight than even the British
had at first expected.
On the fifth day OF the German
attack. there is no evidence TO
show that the Maxi war machine
has crashed through the Russian
defenses with the speed it achieved
in the western and Balkan cam
paigns.
Too Early 70 Predict
II is far too early for even an
attempt at appraisal, but, balanc-
ing the conflicting claims Of the
two sides, il would seem that the
Russians so far are holding well
along the Pruth river against the
German thrust into the Ukraine.
Likewise, the Russian air force OBJ
viously is a potent factor, despite
heavy losses admitted even by
Moscow. Guarded German state
ments show that Soviet planes are
raiding German territory even
beyond East Prussia, as well as
Finland. Poland and Rumania.
After five days of fighting,
the early pessimism shown In
London has lessened. although
there still Is no distinct opti-
mism. But the early reports
that Germany planned TO
crush Russia in three weeks
or a month now are discounted.
British observers believe the
Russians may be able TO hold out
for months. and that il they can
hold the fort until autumn. the
German attack will have failed.
That is based on what seems TO be
the present showing Of the Rus
SLAMS. Continued losses Of planes
and pilots, tanks and German de-
struction by air Of neager Russian
communication TO the rear may
change the picture. There also is
the factor Of the widely-separated
routes which the Germans can take
into Russia, and probably are try
ing to take.
Many Level Stretches
Between the marshes and the
mountains there are level stretches
and passes over firm. dry soil
ideally suited to a German panzer
drive across the steppes. II will
not be surprising If the Germans
break through. However. II they
do, il is but the preliminary TO
storming Russian defenses and po-
sitions deep in Soviet territory.
The Russians, II they continue
fighting with the spirit they now
are showing. ought 10 be able to
fall hack slowly over hundreds Of
miles Of defsnsible territory. max
+ ing the German advance extremely

Ask to Hold
Men in Navy
Indefinitely
New Service Plan
For Emergency Is
Up TO Congress

WASHINGTON-The navy
asked congress today to APP
prove legislation enabling 1t
to hold in service all enlisted
men, regardless of the expira-
ton dates of their enlistment
terms. "as long as the national
interest is imperiled.
Rear Admiral c. w. Nimitz,
chief Of the bureau Of navigation,
asked the senate naval affairs
committee to approve bill
authorizing the navy to retain
men in service whenever congress
formally declares that the national
welfare is in danger.
He asked that the provision
be added 10 a pending bill
which would require all future
volunteers In the navy to
agree TO serve an indeter-
inmate period during . ma
tional emergency. Six years
IL the normal navy enlist
ment period.
The navy proposal came on the
heels of army recommendations
that national guardsmen and
some selectees be kept in service
more than one year. This also
would require action by congress.
Nimitz. who earlier termed the
morale of the navy excellent and
unsurpassed" said the navy pro-
posal would conform with
authority that was written into
the selective service act Of 1910.
Under that statute, he said, train
ing terms OF selectees can be ex-
tended beyond one year IL con-
gress declares the additional
service necessary in the national
interest.
Defending his proposal against
criticism by Sen. Hiram w. John
son, r., Calf. Nimitz conceded
that the retention OF men in
service may be an infringement"
of private rights, but said it is
necessary TO national security.
