British Architects
Appeal for American
Building Publications
Restrictions on Export
Of Money Said to Make
Purchases Difficult

An appeal for American publica-
tionS containing information on de-
fense building and the problems of
reconstruction has been made to
the American Institute of Archi-
tects by Edward Carter, librarian of
the Royal Institute of British Archi-
tects.
Mr.. Carter, writing from London,
suggests either an interchange of
publications or the establishment
of fund by American architects
to aid their British colleagues in
what he describes as "a matter of
considerable urgency and difficulty"
The appeal will receive sympathet-
&c and serious consideration, ac-
cording to Richmond H. Shreve.
president of the institute, who has
requested the Institutes Committee
on Foreign Relations of which
Philip Il. Goodwin of New York Is
chairman, to study the problem.
In his letter, addressed to Charles
T. Ingham of Pittsburgh, secretary
OF the institute, Mr.. Carter says:
Owing to the restrictions which
are now very strictly applied to the
export of money from Britain, and
because the Royal Institute of
British Architects has hardly ade-
quate money to spend on the pur-
chase of British publications, we
are finding great difficulty in obtain
ing American publications relating
to building and planning just at
moment when more than ever the
closest possible collaboration is
needed on the outstanding problems
of defense building and reconstruct
ton.
My purpose now is to discover
some means by which we can
organize an interchange of publica-
tions on a larger scale, or, as an
alternative, to study the possibility
of starting publication fund in
the United States by which, through
the generosity of our American COL
leagues, we may be enabled to have
more important publications pur-
chased for us in America and sent
as gifts to England"

HOOVER STATES
 NOTHING DOING

Washington, July 2-(UP)-For- mer President Herbert Hoover an. nounced today he is 'irrevocably opposed" to suggestions that he head an anti-interventionist presi- dential ticket in 1944, with Charl 2 A. Lindbergh as his running mate.
 Hoover added that he would never again accept public of1ice."
 His announcement, made in a telegram from Palo Alto, Calif., followed publication of editorials yesterday in the New York Daily News and the Washington Times Herald suggesting a Hoover-Lind- bergh ticket to give the nation an opportunity to choose between in- terventionist and non-intervention- ist policies.
 The reply of the nations only living former president was sent to Raymond s. Richmond, one of his Washington representatives.

 No Big Scale Thrusts
 Thus, while fighting of greatest importance is now in progress in the areas that formerly were Po- land or Baltic states, the Germans have yet to make any big scale thrustS into pre-War Russia or to come up against the deep Red army defense lines, if they exist as reported. In any event, the Ger man strategy was designed to des- troy the Red army's main fighting force west of the Dnieper, If pos Sible.
 Fighting continued on the Finn ish frontier where the Germans had been reported pushing 100 miles eastward to the Kandalaksha railroad in order to cut of the big Arctic port of Murmansk, but this was denied by Moscow and not supported by the German high command. The Nazis merely said an offensive had been started from Finland.
 There also was fighting on the Karelian isthmus without any in- portant results and in the far south the Russians said that all att tackS from Rumania continued to fail. On the Baltic front, the Ger mans were still advancing ana claimed Windau, in Latvia.
 Claims of Both
 In all, however, the Germans claimed to have destroyed a total Of $40 enemy tanks on the basis of comnuniques issued today and covering chiefly operations on Tues day on the entire battle front. The Russians reported that 54 German planes were destroyed yesterday, compared to 9 lost by the Soviets.
 The Germans reported that 322 enemy planes and 12 German planes had been knocked out and said that many Russian transport trains, trucks and communications lines had been blasted.
 On other fronts, the British bombers continued big-scale attacks last night, centering on Brest where German warships again were the chief targets
 In Syria, British forces pressed closer to Beirut in increasingly se- were fighting, but the most im- portant development in the Middle East was the unexpected shift of Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell from Africa to India. Wavell was re- placed by Gen. Sir Clyde Auchin- leck, former commander -in-chief in India. The shift was not explained but appeared to be due in part to Wavells past disagreements with the cabinet.

 Cries of Order
 Hore-BeliSha protested amid cries of Order" in Commons and said that he would ask questions regard ing the changes in the Middle East.
 Explanation of the shift was re- ported to be that Gernany's inva- sion of Russia raised a threat to India and Wavell was needed there to coordinate the Indian defense ef- fort, and that Wavell also needed rest from his trying job in the Middle East.
 Eulogizing Waven, the Times said that he was the only British gen. eral known to children of the Unit. ed States.
 The Daily Express said that "the War cabinet believes the threat to India is getting nearer; should the Soviet armies fail to withstand the pressure of German forces the way would be opened for 6 Nad march to the East. A swoop from the Black sea through Iran to the northwest frontier becomes feasible. Wavell is not retiring to quiet back water in India"
 There were reports, on the other hand, that Wavell had not seen eye to eye with the government at home, particularly on such subjects as sending aid to Greece, which was a political decision contrary to all tactical considerations, it was said.

Ger,nau Method


 (The German method Is to break through with rapid tank units and then quickly throw large motorized infantry forces into the hole in an effort to hold the gains. The Russian counter.blitz operations have been designed to let the tanks through and then attempt to de- stroy them behind the defense lines, at the same time closing the hole to the motorized infantry. The communique gave no details that would indicate whether these tactics had been entirely successful. but both London and Moscow appeared to be slightly more optimistic today and the communique stated that the vanguard of the tanks had been destroyed.)
 On Other Fronts
 Of other fronts, the communique said that:
 A German offensive from Fin land toward the Murmansk area in the Arctic Apparently designed to cIt the railroad near Kanda Aksha was strongly opposed by Russian forces which inflicted big losses on the Germans.
 Heavy fighting was in progress in the Luck sector of the southern front, where a big tank bate has been ranging. The Russians re- ported the German drive checked east of Luck on the road to Kieve and the Ukraine.
 Destroyers of the Red northern fleet were attacked by IS enemy dive bombers but brought down three planes without suffering losses.
 Russian troops (estimated at 25,- 0O0) holding out at the Soviet base of Hango in southwestern Finland turned back an attack by enemy forces alleged wearing Red army uniforms.
 A Red army artillery battery and infanSTy annihilated Q large Ger man parachute force that dropped behind the lines and occupied a Rus sian village. A fierce battle in the village ended with a Russian bayo- net charge that wiped out the enemy force.
 Sink German Transport
 A Russian coastal battery (proh- ably on the Baltic coast) sank a German transport ship with Ian im- portant military cargo"
 A Red army unit, led by Sergeant Mamedov, crawled up to a group of enemy tanks that had attacked 8 marching Russian force and put the commanders tank out of action with hand 'grenades, creating panic among the advancing enemy force and resulting in the repulse of the attack.
 On the Ukrainian front south of the Pripet marshes, the colmmuri- que said, Russian troops were in- flicting heavy losses on German mo- torized and inechanized units which, like those on the white Russia front,
 The communiuue noted battles on three main fronts - Murmansk, Dvinsk- -Minsk and Luck.
 Revising figures cited in its earlier communique, the Russian high com mand said that l02 German planes, not 56, were shot down Monday, against the revised loss of 22 in- stead of 15 Russian planes.
 (The afternoon communique gave a more vigorous picture of Russian positive tactics than had an earlier one which said that on the Minsk
