The Red Army said a stand along the Berezina and Bru ja waterways rolled back terrific German assaults. The Germans caught destructive hail of ar tillery and machine gun fire and the water itself carried the wounded and dying downstream.
 A contradictory report by the German high command said Hit ler's legions had driven across Berezina and raced to the shore of the Dnepr river, no miles east of Minsk, in the region of Rus sia's strongest defenses.

While the Nazi command pictured de cisive turn in the l2-day strug- gle, communique asserted that the main German thrust at Mos- cow was blocked by Russian troops and located the Germans in a vast new battle on the road to Moscow.

It now appears that the resistance of the Soviet army is broken as back, ward movements of the nemy have become apparent on the en tire front"
 The Prut River forms the boun dary between Rumania and Rus sian-held Bessarabia. Amid these assertions from Hitler's head quarters, the Russian command declared that the vanguard of Moscow-bound Nazi forces were hurled back after repeated att temptS to cross the Berezina Riv CT, whose waters were reddened with the blood of Napoleon'S troops in the bitter retreat from Moscow in 1872.

TOKYO, July 4 (P) - The Jap anese government is giving ser ious consideration to the poSslb- ility that the United States may send aid to Russia via Vladi- vostok, the official spokesman in d.cated at press conference. In discussion of the Vladivostok sit ua.ion, Koh Ishii, cabinet spokes man, said the government is dis cussing the question of the exten sion of the limits of Japan's terri torial waters beyond the inter- nationally recognized three-mile zone.
 Press discussions on this ques- tion, recently, indicated that Jap an might take some action to close two narrow straits between Japanese islands, through which ships in the Pacific normally reach Vladivostok. The discus sion centered on Soya Strait, be- tween Hokkaida and Sakhalin, only 25 miles wide and still mar roWer Tsugaru Strait between Hokkaido and Hondo, main Jap anese island.
 Ishii said Japan regards the possible stationing of U. s. plan es at Vladivostock as an "un- friendly act" as she already re- gards the sending of U. S.-made planes to the British, Singapore, Batavia and Chungking.

UNDATED, July 4 GP) - Rus sia's command reported the vast slaughter of German troops in the second day of fighting along the bloody Berezina river, 400 miles west of Moscow. "Thou- sands of German dead, blazing tanks and enemy aircraft" are littering the battlefield, the Red Army declared, as three main German offensives in Russia were checked by defensive blitzkrieg. In one sector 160 Nazi tanks were destroyed.
 In the Minsk area, on the cen- tral front, the Berlin radio re- ported that Soviet troops failed in an attempt to smash through the Nazi encirclement, and 10000 Russians were captured.
 Countering the official German claims that the backbone of the Red Army was broken, a Soviet communique declared also that the Nazi invasion forces suffered heavy defeat last night in the Bobrusk sector 100 miles south east of Minsk.
 Hitler's headquarters asserted that the pursuit of the Red Army is proceeding relentleSsly along the whole eastern front. The Nazi command declared that Ger man forces driving on Moscow, crossed the Berezina river, grave yard of Napoleon's ill-fated ven- ture on imperial Russia and it is evident that another great bat tie is raging and heavy losses in flicted on the Russians. A Nazi bulletin said the pursuit is con- tinuing despite difficult road con ditions.
