Declare Occupation Of Iceland Approach to War
Germany Asserts US. Occupation
 Iceland Is Active Military Step
 And Nation Moves Closer to War

UNDATED, July g (P1 - On this diplomatic front, a German spokesman, giving Germany's first official reaction to the land4 ing of U. s. naval forces in Ice land, asserted it was an active military step and the United Stat es is now represented by troops in the war zone. The spokesman said From a military point of view these troops might as well be in a British port. President Roosevelt has been a long time approaching the war and has now moved much closer to it. Nazi sources implied clearly that Der lin is counting on the possibility of it's occupying other places such as Azores, the Cape Verde Is- land, and Dakar on the coast of French West Africa.
 In London, Churchill hailed Roosevelt'S action as ''one of the most important things which has happened since the war began" !" He said the British and United States navieS will probably find it mutually advantageous to as sist each other in the very dam gerous waters" around Iceland.

 Authoritative quarters in Lon don said the Nazi eastward push into Russia appears to be halted unless there is a big break-thru in the next few days, but great pause is likely.

UNDATED, July 8 lAP) - The Soviet armies were reported hold ing the Germans at bay along a 600-mile front, in river defenses, out in front of the main Stalin Line, crushing repeated Nazi at- tenpts to break through, en- route to Moscow. A Russian war bulletin placed the scene of heav jest fighting, at a tight stretched line running almost due north and south between Ostrove on the Latvian frontier and Mogilev Podolski, on the Dnester river.
 A Bessarabian border commun ique said Soviet troops clashed with German tank and motorized forces in the Ukraine sectors of Novograd and Volynski and fur ther south, struck decisive counter attack at the flank and rear of the enemy" annhilating two infantry regiments. The So- viet command said the Germans were routed in a series of at tempts to storm across the Dnepr River on the drive to Moscow, but conceded on the northern front that the Nazi approached within 75 miles of Leningrad. Blazing heat engulfed the entire battlefront.
 Tersely, Hitler's field headquar ters made this lone comment on the invasion: Operations on the eastern front are proceeding on schedule" In past campaigns, German communiques have been similarly brief when huge-scale operations are in a fluid, develop ing state.

Plans For U. s. Aid To Russia
 Are Progressing

WASHINGTON, July 8 (P) = Acting Secretary of State Sum- ner Welles said plans for Ameri- can aid to Russia are proceeding rapidly and effectively. He said Ambassador Oumansky confer red with him and Assistant Sec retary Acheson on plans to place Soviet orders in this country. They are now down to point of discussing the details.
 In reply to reporters questions Welles said the United States had received no official informa- tion substantiating the reports that Japan might establish "saf ety zone" around the Japanese islands and cut off Vladivostok, the only far east port thru which Russia can import American sup plies.
 In Shanghai, experienced oh- servers said Japan's curtailment of this shipping route and con- centrations of her merchant ma rine in the Pacific Is obviously in preparation flor any eventuait- ies" In other words, what ever action Tokyo may decide to take next.
 Koh Lssii, spokesman for the Japanese government said in Tokyo, the concentration is due to a shortage of ships for the Pacific routes. He pointed out that there is little chance for Japanese freighters of obtaining cargoes on the east coast of the United States, so henceforth the, Japanese ships will probably be confined to calls on the west coast. He added that U. s. regula tions concerning the Panama Canal are very inconvenient to the Japanese.
 Shanghai observers said Issii's statement was not convincing and asserted that Japan's trade in the far east declined greatly while her trade with Europe is completely halted. They suggest ed that the ships were called home and handed over to the military authorities, if Japan att tempts a new oversea expedition.
 Major Kunion Akiyama, Japan csc army spokesman, said Japan is greatly concerned over the possibility of the spread of the Russia-German war to the Far East" as a result of the passage of U. s. material to Vladivos- tok. Both Akiyama and the naval spokesman declined to say Whe- ther the U. s. and Soviet vessels, carrying war supplies to Vladiv- ostok, will be subject to stoppage and search by the Japanese navy.
