British May Land Troops in Arctic 10 Keep Supply
 Routes Open
RUSS-NAzIS APPEAR DEADL0(kED, UKRAINE
SfdIin Accepts Proposal of
 Roosevelt and Chur- chill for Conference
(By Associated Press)

Sources in Shanghai. including both Japanese and German, said today that Japan apparently is plan ming for an attack on Russia within the next two or three weeks, anyway before winter sets in.
 Following this report comes one from London. It is generally cir culated there that the British might land troops in Arctic Russia to help keep the Murmansk and Archangel supply routes open.
 Official dispatches from Saigon. French Indo- China, state that 48 additional Japanese transports are expected to disembark troops on Sunday
 Russo German Warfare
 Both Berlin and Moscow are vague in developments regarding warfare but rearguard action in the Ukraine for stand on the east bank of the Dneiper River is the major tactical obstacle to the German advance. Berlin only states in the official communique that progress is being made in the Ukraine sector.'
 Naxis Digging In
 London sources picture the Ger mans as digging in in the Smolensk sector with little indication of an early push toward Moscow as winter begins to loom.
 The Finnish forces are reported to have captured new points from the Russians around Lake Ladoga.
 Stalin Will Confer Both London and Washington in- terpret the Roosevelt Churchill pro- posal for terms to aid Russia as indicating confidence in the Red Army, however. now apparently bat tered and beaten.
 1 Josef Stalin quickly accepted the proposal of Roosevelt and Churchill for an early conference in Moscow to work out a program for maximum aid. It is implied that there is to be complete pooling of all resources by the United States, Great Britain and Russia in an effort to smash the Nazi power.

WASHINGTON-Real reason for that secret pow-wow of House Re- publicans, just before the party caucus on the draft extension bill was a move by small isolationlst clique to sidetrack Representative Jce Martin as their party leader IL died aborning-but the meeting showed how white-hot are political passions over foreign affairs within the Republican Party.
 Ringmaster of the meeting was Representative Ham Fish Of New York, megaphonic foe of Roosevelt's defense program. He had grandiose rlans for setting up an "indepen- dent leadership" with himself as top man.
 Groundwork for the revolt" had been carefully laid at an earlier secret meeting staged by Fish and a small group of cronies. They in- cluded Representative John vofys of Ohio, Frank Keefe e'f Wis consin, Harold Knutsoh of Minnes- ota, Frank Crowther of New York, Robert Chiperfield of Illinois, and John Robsion of Kentucky.
 At this meeting Fish loudly cen- sured Joe Martin for failing to take a more aggressive stand" against the Presidents foreign policies. He argued that if the isolationists were to make any headway in tfe House they would have to form their own independent leadership"
 So it was unanimously decided that Fish, as ranking minority leader of the Foreign Affairs Con- mittee, was the man for the Job But, rather than spring such a bold scheme suddenly on their col leagues, this isolationist group de- cided first to sound them out.
 Ham Fish invited to secret meet ing 60 Republicans who have voted consistently against New Deal de- fense measures. Unaware that the real purpose was to feel out" their loyalty to their popular leader, Joe Martin, 53 attended.
