PRESIDENT FACES
 ANOTHER PUZZLE
Whether to Extend All Aid
 to Russia or Not Is !, Hard Problem
BY LYLE c. WILSON

NOAesbGt4 - I'VE SSeNsA ON@- VT
 Washington, June 23.-(UP)-- President Roosevelt was confronted today with an explosive decision on whether to extend lend-lease aid to Russia. There already were dis- putes over whether the Russo-G Ger man war created more danger for the United States or less
 Reports from Stockholm that the Soviet Union was considering an al- liance with Great Britain and the United States were not taken ser- ously here.
 The President may solve the ques- tion of lend-lease aid for the Soviet Union by avoiding 1t directly, and by letting it be known that this arsenal of democracy is committed far into the future, at more than capacity, to the rearmament of Great Bri- tain and the United States.

 London, June 23-(UP)-Great Britain's bombers and fighters were reported sweeping over Nazi-dom- mated Europe in daylight again to- day in the opening phase of what experts predicted would be a greatly intensified aerial offensive against Germany.
 Following last nights 18th straight raid on northwest Ger many, British experts pointed out that Germany had shifted an im- portant part of her air strength to eastern Europe and thus had given the Royal Air Force an un- precedented opportunity to strike from the west.
 Intensified British air sweeps across the English Channel and over France in daylight were de- scribed as gratifying as the Ger mans lost 30 planes in battles Sum- day afternoon. Since January l0 there have been 55 daylight sweeps over this area, including seven in tk1S lHSb ScfGl1 QdJS AAA WAASAA oO va emy planes and 2S British planes were shot down.
