If Moscow needed more tankers it would DC likely that the Forthcoming rationiag of gasoline in the United States Tor pleasure purposes would Do made more stringent.
 Mir. Roosevelt said he had not the foggiest notion of what the so- Viet Union needs end he left it up to Moscow to tell this government of what Is wanted.
 There ore 70 Russian, two ES. thonian, one Latvian and one Llth- uanian ships In American waters and these presumably will be div erted to the United States-s Soviet Union service. Moscow controls 244 ships Of 1000 tons oach or more aggregating e20,000 tons, but some of them are in the Black sec and, therefore, would have to survive the Mediterranean to reach the At. lantlc or Indian oceans.
 Sentiment Divided.
 There is . division of congres. Sional sentiment over aiding Rus- siA but there Aro no indications that tho administration would have less than . Sat majority in either House # the Issue were put to Q vote.
 Senator George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., who opposed the United States entry Into tho last war but now savors aid to Great Britain, told questioners that tho United States should Do willing to help which. ever side might be losing in Q fight between Germany and the Soviet Union. "Lend-lease both of them, is c suggestion facetlously heard here from persons who believe the United States comfortably could be neutral in any collision between Moscow and Berlin.
 Tt seems to me-" said Sen. Bur- ton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, . Non- interventionlst spokesman, "that < is entirely possible if we give tanks planes and equipment to Russia tho Germans may take them over in c short time and then use them against England or even us if the people who are trying to get Il, Into this war are correct. It Is high! ly important that we keep such equipment as we have, and, God knows, we don't have much, for the defense of our own country"

the sahara like dust clouds, tho dis. patches said.
 Soviet artillery fire was "irregu. lar" the dispatches added, but it often forced the Germans to make extensive detours. The German ad- vance was broken only by occasional clashes with rear-guard units which fought from small woods and iso- lated farm houses or from concrete bunkers which had not been finished by the time the war started.
 Although NaSl sources indicated that the Russian air force already had been damaged so extensively that it was no longer considered Q menace, tho high command limited It's report on the eastern front to Q single sentence,
 "fn the east" it said, Possibilities of the army, air force and navy against tho Soviet armed forces are taking 50 favorable . course that great successes are to be expected"
 It was believed that the high command, or Adolf Hitler himself, might make Q statement today on tho exact state of the German op- eratlons one year after fighting ceased between Germany and France under the previously-signed armiS- tiee.
 Reports Arc Meager
 Reports from tho front were meager but indicated that German columns were cutting ever deeper Into the plains of western Russia.
 Germans had te be content with brief communiqueS issued by the high command Monday and Tues day, the first saying that the Ger. man drive continued successfully, the second saying that 1t continued with great success.
 Dispatches published from Ger man propaganda company men at the front covered in nearly all in- stances only the first day of fighting, 1t developed. These said that the Germans had driven as much as 90 miles Into the Russian lines by Sunday night.
 rnformants intimated that the Germans In some sectors had been able to maintain thls pace. An analysiS of the campaign based on published reports showed, from the German viewpoint:
 a-The suddenness of the attack caught the Russians by surprise but their resistance soon Stifgened ct some places.
 2-Drives were started at several main points.
 3-There was no indication that the Russians had started c counter offensive.
 4-The German air force at once showed its superiority. 6-The Germans were favored by good weather and flat country.
 Figures authorized by the high cosnamnd and published by news- papers said that the Russians had concentrated the bulk of their forces in Poland, between the Niemen river on the north and the Pripet marshes on the south.
