bassador Joseph Clark Grew talked for IS minutes today with Vice For eign Minister Chuichi Ohashi.
 According to Asahi, the Japanese embassy complained to the state department:
 Seeking Clearance
 That the embassy now was trying to obtain clearance for the steam- ship Yamasaki. (not listed in Lloyd'S register) which, although vigorously searched by coast guards men, was unable to leave Boston as scheduled last Sunday.
 That the embassy also was trying to obtain transit through the pan- ana Canal for the passenger liner Tcakal Maru, s,3e0 tons, which had been detained longer than other foreign ships.
 The newspaper Hochi brought . new note into the political situation when at said in an editorial that the cabinet of Prince Fami1marc Kcnoye, the premier, had fulfilled its purposes satisfactorily 50 far but that "in order to put Japan on total war footing stronger politi- cal leadership as urgently needed.
 (There has been some expecta- ton that unless the Konoye cabinet took some positive and dramatic action in the foreign field soon there nnight be political changes in Japhn).

BCrchers protested angrilys that no one in the party had had anything to eat since noon. It was then II D. m. A messenger was dis- patched to bring sandwiches from a restaurant. Borchers, genial again, said he liked the plain American people" that "this political strair'' is unnecessary, that the United States and Germany, "tne only really great nations in the world, !" would some day be friends.
 Joined Others Aboard
 They joined s25 Germans and 12S Italians members of consular staffs and their families - aboard the transport. These were German consular agents from nine cities and Italian consular agents from 25.
 The government had added an undisclsoed number of aliens, some described as possibly dangerous" i" to the passenger list. They were brought from Ellis Island yesterday afternoon.
 Also aboard the West Point were pr. Manfred zapp and 0uen- ther Tom, who managed the | Gerrnan-owned Transocean Newa Service, pr. Kurt Keith, known as the "No. l Nax in the United States" and Eugene Buerk. in- 6icted In Milwaukee for failure to register aS a foreign agent.
 The justice and state departments announced in Washington that these four had been released in exchange for the release in Ger many of Richard Hottelet, United Press staff correspondent ilmpris- oned in Berlin since March; Jay Allen, North American Newspaper Alliance correspondent arrested i1l occupied France; and Frank Nel- son and Ivan Jacobsen, United States consulate employs at Oslo Norway.

Contract For Second
 Pipe Line Is Awarded

or more but also that rising costs migh increaSe the cost of the pipe line $100,000 or more by the fall He also told us of the danger of shortage of materials, also about the difficulty of manufacturing the pipe if the scity waited until the unfavor. able weather conditions of the fall and winter had arrived"
 "At washington we could get nc definite answer on whether the city's application for federal assist ance in the rest of the work would be jeopardized if we went ahead with the pipe line but yesterday at Bos- ton we did receive definite assur- ance that 1t would not be jeop. ardized."
 New Application
 Meantime we are preparing Q new application, asking for federal funds to help in the rest of the en- tire project, aside from the pipe line. It is my belief that we should let the pipe line contract now that any further delay might cause Q serious water situation. We've tempted fortune enough, believe. The money that we might get from the government is an important fac- tor but not the most important one. We need Q new pipe line, we need 1t badly and we need 1t at the earliest possible time. The contract calls for completion of the work by next June, but the company believes 1t can finish before that time"
 with the new line completed, we can set up pumping station, at no great cost, that will insure the delivery of 100000 additional gallons of water 6 day. This will benefit not only our defense indus tries but the many residents of high service areas; 1t will mean better pressure in many areas and gener- ally better service. And by that time work should be well along on the new dam, reservoir and chlor- ination plant"
 City Cannot Wait
 Probably we could get federal aid on the pipe line part of the project, if we wanted to wait. But to my mind the additional costs, the delay and the other factors out- weigh the possible savings. Hence recommend award of the contract today. In this recommendation MT Pirnie, supt. of Streets and Water Herbert Scott-Smith and the en- gineering bureaus concur"
 The mayor told the board also that before asking legislative auth ority this spring to issue $2,0o0,o ,ooC in water supply bonds, the possi- bility of federal aid had been thor oughly investigated and 1t had been thought best, in view of the vital need, that the city proceed since nc hint of government help was forth coming at that time.
 Corp. Counsel Lynch also ad. dressed the works board, expressing sentiments similar to those of the mayor.

 The ship and its passengers have been accorded safe conduct by the British and presumably by the German governments. At Lisbon it win pick up American consular eEil- ployes and their families, who had been ordered to leave Axis territory in reprisal for the United states expulsion order.

 A field Mass for Catholic soldiers and for civilians who wish to ate tend may be celebrated on Sunday, the 27th. The Mass would be cele- brated by the regimental chaplain at the staG4um. Plans are still in the formative stage.
 No Change in Route
 Supt. Roach denied reports that the route for the Legion parade had been changed again. He said that plans still call for formation on Freight street, with the soldiers falling into place from Riverside street after being conveyed by truck from the, stadium. The route, as out- lined by the superintendent, is as follows: Freight street, to Meadow. to Grand, to Bank street, turn left in Exchange place to West Main street, around the Green past The Elton, left turn into East Main street, to Hamilton Park. There the parade will disband and drum corps competition and other contests will be held.
 Choice of the stadium grounds was made after army officers had first considered the Scovill recreation grounds in Wolcott and the Ameri- can Brass Go. lot at West Main street and Watertown avenue.
 The 208th will arrive in Water bury about II a. m. on the 18th, en- tering the city via Thomaston ave- nue, then going over Huntingdon avenue to Watertown avenue and stadium.

 "The corporation counsel c. Greg ory Lynch) and f first went to Washington in an attempt to learn whether 6 definite policy had been decided on Lanhaln act grants" said the mayor. Tt was for this reason that l asked the Board of Works to postpone award of the contract last Saturday. We wanted more time to determine Waterbury's status under the act. We learned that rules and regulations have not yet been pro- mulgated and may not be for some time. If we waited for federal aid for the pipe line, we would have to incorporate the government rules in our specifications and advertise for new bids"

assistance. An army which, as the Gafman high command admits, is capable of strong counter-attacks certainly is not in full retreat.
 German pressure may force the Russians slowly back. The Germans may even take Leningrad, Kiev and then Moscow, and still the campaign might be far from over. Even from Moscow, there are 800 hard miles to the Ural mountains which the Rus sian army, unless routed, could con- test. The German army's coinrnuni- cation lines meanwhile would be stretched to hazardous point.
 Britons are flguratively licking their chops over the situation. They have so far taken full advantage of it as far as the air in the war is concerned and have been relentless " pounding northwestern Germany and the occupied areas of the coast with everything they have. It gen. orally is believed that the Germans have been forced to recall part of their air strength from the east to combat the campaign, but 1t still goes on, by day and night.

| war becomes more apparent, Britain undoubtedly vii consider @ military expedition to the continent. There is much talk of 1t in London al. ready, although it is doubtful that Britain would hazard an expedition at this juncture and face the pos- sibility of another Dunkirk.
 Britain has about 100000 to a. 100000 men fully under arms. A majority of them would have to be detached for a successful march on the continent, and if they were beaten, the islands would be wide open for invasion.
 Doubt of Germans
 London, July l6.--(UP)-An au- thoritative British source asserted today that unless the Germans ad- vanced considerably farther in Rus- sia they could not justify their exc penditure in men and machines.
 "In what the Germans have achieved so far against Russia there is nothing that can be considered final or a really substantial advan" tage," the informant said in an au. thoritative review of the war. "The Russian army merits ad- miration for the fight 1t has put up"
 According to information in Lon; don, the informant said, the Rus" sians continue to hold Smolensk, on the Moscow front, and Kiev, capital of the Ukraine. There is fierce flght- ing in the Vitebsk area of the Mos- COW front, ne added.
 "As regards the very high souIad- ing German claims of @ couple of days ago 1t icoks as If the German propaganda machine bit off more than the German army could chew" the informant said.
 Fighting in the Pskov area of the Lenigrad front is confusing. The Germans are trying to push the Russians and the Russians are claiming that German mechanized units have been surrounded, de- stroyed or hurled back"
 Yelled UItimatum
 Rome, July 16.-(UP)-The news paper Messaggero said today that statement by United States Under secretary of State Sumner Welies that the United States desires Por- tugal to maintain sovereignty over the Azores and Cape Verde Islands must be regarded as yelled ultima tum.
 "The undersecretary declared 1t is indispensable that certain positions be in friendly hands," the newspaper said. Hence, this Is yelled ulti- matum to Portugal either to line up with the Anglo-Saxons or for the United States to take measures nec- essary for security. At this point mental reserve gives way to menace and intimidation"
 Messaggero said that President Roosevelt would like to occupy the Azores, temporarily and without in- fringing on Portuguese sovereignty.

 OF RUSSIAN WAR

Continued from Page D broken by the pounding blows struck against Soviet communities tions by the Luftwaffe. Today, however, the communique said:
 "In the east, operations continue their favorable progress. Soviet ccunter-attac at several points were hurled back with bloody losses for the enemy"
 About Counter Attacks @
 The high command on several oc- casions has noted that Russians have put up tenacious" or "stub- born" resistance to the Naxl ad- vance. However, no other high command reference to a counter attack has been made, although such actions have been reported by DINE, the ofacial news agency. (The high command and other German sources have repeatedly in- sisted that Russian forces are lin dissolution" or "disintegrating." AS early as July 3 1t was claimed that Russian resistance "now seems broken.") ~
 Authorized German sources of- fered the explanation that German forces are gradually closing in on Kiev from several directions in what were said to be series of pincers movements.
 Two main columns were asserted to be advancing on the Ukraine capital, one from the southwest and one from the north.
 Hundreds of PillbOxes
 They claimed that the Nazis had encountered hundreds of Soviet concrete pillboxes, well disguised as houses or haystacks, which have had to be captured or destroyed be- fore the main German forces could advance.
 Each position, 1t was said, hadsto be taken individually by infantry attack in the face of fierce re- sistance.
 (The German description appear ed to denote an advance into the deep defenses of the Stalin fort Sys- tenn although the Naz high com mand last week claimed that the Stalin system had been broken "at all decisive points'o.
 Authorized German quarters said that south of Kiev Soviet troops made repeated counter r-attacks yes- terday against advancing German troops
 These Nad quarters had nothing to say of the progress of the drives on Leningrad and Moscow. AL though German forces has been described as nearing Lseningrad, il was now believed that capture oa the city might take "some time"
 Earlier German informants had asserted that German tanks and motorized infantry were near Len. ingrad and that the occupation oi Kiev. capital of the Ukraine, wa imminent.
 Just before the high command communiQue was issued the oaiicia news agency reported that q Ger man infantry and artillery columE had encircled and broken q l i-a mile column of Russian tanks anf marching troops in the nsighbCr. hood Of Byelaya, which Is only (: miles northeast ef Rskov and is t2l miles south Of Leninrad.
