WASHINGTON, July B. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles said plans for American aid to Rus sia are proceeding rapidly and ef- fectively.
 Welles said Russian Ambassador Oumansky has conferred with him and also Assistant Secretary Ache son on plans to place Soviet orders in this country and they are now down to point of discussing details
 In reply to questions of the news men at today's conference, Welles said he has received no official in- formation substantiating reports that Japan might establish safety zone" around the Japanese Islands and cut off yladivostok as the only Far East port through which Rus sia could secure American supplies

DetermiLrd and bitter against the invasion of their land, Soviet Armies are reported holding the Germans at bay along 600 mile front as river defenses out in front of the main Stain Line are crushing repeated Nazi attempts to break through enroute to MoScow.
 A Russian War Bulletin placed the scene of the heaviest fighting on tightly stretched line running al- most due north and south between Ostrove on the Latvian frontier and Mogilev Podolski on the Dniester River at the Bessarabian border.
 The Red Army release said Soviet troops have clashed win German tanks and motorized forces in the Ukraine sector at Novograd Volyn- ski, and further south have struck decisive counterattack on flank tn the rear of the enemy" annihi- lating two Nazi infantry regiments.
 Nazi Attacks Fail
 The Soviet Command said the Germans have been routed in a se- ries of attempts to storm across the Dnieper River on their drive to Moscow, but conceded on the north- ern front the Nazis have approached to within 75 miles of Leningrad. as blazing heat engulfed the entire battlefront.
 Tersely Hitlers field headquar- ters made lone comment on the invasion. It said, operations on the eastern front are proceeding on schedule" Tn past campaigns Ger man communiques have been simi- larly brief when huge scale opera tions have been in fluid develop ing stage.
 The Russians report the Germans are suffering enormous casualties with only slight gains along the 1000 mile front Tass, Russian news agen- cy, reported 1900 Nazi troopers killed or wounded in five hour fight in single village. and asserted 1000 Nazis were killed or wounded and 1900 others surrendered when Sov- jet tanks trapped column of Ger man infantry penetrating the Rus sian lines.

U. 5. Ships 10 Vladivosfok May Be Stopped by

0B5ERVERS WARN
 OF PREPARATION
Spokesman Says Steamers Concentrated Merely
 for Freighfing

SHANGHAI, July 8.-Experienced observers said today that Japan's curtailment of her shipping routes and the concentrations of her mer- chant marine in the Pacific is ob- viously preparation for any even- tualities'' or in other words what ever action Tokyo may take next.
 Koh Ishii, spokesman for the Japanese Government, said TOkyo's concentration is due to a shortage of ships on the Pacific routes and pointed cut there is little chance for Japanese freighters of obtaining car goes on the East Coast of the Unit ed States, so henceforth Japanese ships will probably confine their calls to the West Coast. He added that U. s. regulations concerning the Panama Canal are very incon- venient to the Japanese.
 Shanghai observers said Ishii's statement is not convincing and as- serted Japan's trade in the Far East has declined greatly while its trade in Europe has completely halted. They suggested ships called home will be handed over to military authori- ties if Japan attempts new over- seas expeditions.
 Major Kunion Akiyama, Japan csc Army spokesman, said Japane lis greatly concerned over the pos sibility of the spread of the Russian German war into the Far East" as a result of the passage of U S. ma terials to VladivoStok.
 Both Akiyama and the maya spokesman declined to say whether U. s. and Soviet vessels carrying war supplies to Vladivostok are sub ject to stoppage and search by the Japanese Navy.

 WASHINGTON, July 8-Trying to put your finger on exactly what is going to happen to you and me as result of priorities, national de- fense shortages and even temporary bottlenecks is like trying to pick feathers from the wing of busy humming-bird.
 Not long ago at a press confer ence, Interior Secretary and oil czar Harold L. Ickes was asked if he believed we would really have gasoline Jess Sundays. His answer was that in the East we might have to forego pleasure driving altogeth- er
 A few days later, Russell E.. Singer, general manager of the American Automobile Association, said the American Petroleum In- stitute estimated that because of transportation problems peculiar to the eastern seaboard, we would have to get along on about 15 percent less gasoline this year, BUT, said MT. Singer, if eastern motorists would just cut down their driving speed, quit making "jackrabbit getaways" in city traffic. have their cars adjusted for maximum consumption and use a few other simpler rules of conservation. they could lcut gasoline consumption 20 percent and forget all about gaso-

NATIONAL DEFEN5EH H
 N0WH|TTING NEARLY
 ALL; WARNING GIVEN
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, July g. Up to now the war has hit most of us in the pocketbook, the electric re- frigerator and the fasteners on our clothes.
 This month it starts in on the kitchen, the bathroom and the scrap box of nuts and bolts and wire in the basement--possibly on the Sunday afternoon joy ride.
 By fall it'll catch us in the suit and overcoat. probably the fuel oil tank and possibly rent. Come win ter we may even be giving up that new house we planned--or at least modifying it's design.
 Next year?
 Every hour of the day will find us making a sacrifice if the war lasts.
 Oddly enough, we soon may be living better in some respects be- cause Uncle. Jim, who hasn't had a job in years may be working steadily at the foundry.
 We're already paying through the pocketbook because of the 10 per- cent special income tax for de- fense and we'll be paying even heavier next year. If we haven't put out income tax money, we have paid extra on taxable products like movies, cigarettes, etc, either be- cause taxes are higher, or because we've bought more.
 We are paying through the refrigerator, because ice trays are getting scarcer, and so are the freezing units.
 We're paying through clothes fasteners, because manufacturers have been forced to lower the quail ity of dollar wash frocks for wom- en by putting on more and cheap CT buttons, and fewer zippers.
 So far, aluminium products are under the heaviest restrictions. That's because defense industry is absorbing every pound of virgin all minimum production in this country.
 Next hardest for the householder to get will soon be copper. know woman who already has given up her cherished hobby-makin dishes and decorative pieces out oi sheet copper. A month ago. the price went up on her. Now she can't even buy copper in the de- sired form. The trouble is. we're going to produce less than 1,O00,- GOO short tons of copper this year. and defense and civilian needs re- quire more than 100000 tons.

NAzI DRIVE : HALTED FOR

VICHY, July 8.--Military circles here have received authentic ad- vices that the German drive against the Stalin Line has been virtually stopped for four full days.
 These circles indicate the German losses are enormous and this is one of the reasons for stopping the of fensive andiregrouping the German units.
 Another reason given for halt is that the Germans need to reorganize their supply lines.
 Guerilla resistance to the rear of the German columns is said to be pronounced, even women and chil- dren joining in the guerilla attacks.

WASHINGTON-I story on General Wavell's transfer to India, as told in diplomatic dispatches, is that Wavell had been quarreling with Churchill and had opposed political-military moves such as the campaign in Greece and Crete and the expedition to S0lum.
 More important from the Amer ican point of view. Wavell had fav- ored the evacuation of all British forces from the entire Mediterran- can area And U. s. military experts agreed with him--in fact. urged it.
 So although in a sense General Wavell is being denoted, yet in other respects he will be in posi- ton to command British forces from an area to which he had urged that British forces retreat.
 For some time General Wavell had contended that Britain's position in the Mediterranean was indefensible. The British force of only 100000 men in the Near East faced combined Axis total twice as strong-400, ,O0O Germans and Italians in Libya, plus 6O0,OOO Nazis in Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania.
 The latter figure has been par tially diminished by transfers to Russia but Wavell argued that the Nazi-Fascist armies could concen- trate attack in one place while Brit ish troops had to spread out over a far-flung line from Libya to Syria and Iraq. Therefore he disagreed with Churchill on all military moves which had a political motive.
 U. s. WORRIED OVER ATLANTIC
 U. s. military and naval strate- gists sided with Wavell. were strong for the idea of a complete British withdrawal from the Mediterranean The strategy behind this was two fold:

CAMPAIGNS MAY SAVE IT


 I have talked with experts in the Office of Production Management the Commerce. Interior and Az riculture departments. and the sum of it seems to be that somewhere between these lies whats around the corner for you and Neighbor Doakes and me.
 The gasoline situation is local- ized to one section of the country, but it illustrates the point well. If enough people wage conserva- tion campaign by doing the things MT. Singer suggests and perhaps walking couple of blocks to the corner drugstore and back instead of hopping in the old buggy, there may be few or no restrictions what ever. Even now, in Washington. a campaign is being readied to bring this about. If the campaign is a fizzle, then the restrictions will have to be made by law or execu-
