The big Russian losses, they added, should favor the German advance eastward of Minsk because the Russians probably would not be able to send reinforcements to the front due to destruction of railroads and highways by German planes. It was asserted that German forces had fought their way across the Berezina river east of Minsk at several places.

The official news agency said that 'as soon as the first Germany armored forces gained a foothold on the east bank of the river" the Russians assembled tanks to hinder the attack but Stuka dive bombers attacked and "cleare4 the way for the German advance." It was said that German planes continued to attack Russian airdromes, troops, artillery and tanks, and had inflicted "fearful" damage on the Russian supply lines. In the Baltic area, according to the official news agency, six troop trains were wrecked Thursday and 70 motor trucks were destroyed on roads. Trains were derailed and tanks and trucks destroyed on the central front, it was asserted, and stations and bridges were wrecked. Continuing to operate against 'remnants" of the Russian air force, the agency said, German planes destroyed 98 Russian planes within 24 hours. Attacks continued on Smolensk, on the Minsk-Moscow highway, it was said.

Off the Karelian Isthmus on the Finnish front German planes damaged two Russian flying boats and set fire to a steamship of 2,000 tons, the agency said. In the extreme north German bombers cut the Russian railroad to Murmansk, it was asserted. MOSCOW. July 5 (U.R-Russla asserted today that German losses In killed and wounded totaled at least 700,000 men since the start of the war. It was said that tnree days of fierce and Incessant fighting on the important Berezina River front, east of Minsk had developed unfavorably to the Germans and that all Nazi attempts to force a cross-ing of the river had been repulsed.

It was admitted that the Ger-mans had made some gains in the Dvlnsk area of the Baltic front and the'Lepel area north of Minsk but it was said that a big German drive had been checked in the Tamopol sector of the Ukrainian front. (The Russian claim of 700,000 German casualties was picked up by the United Press in London from the Moscow radio was: German propaganda is dally spreading inventions about fantastic numbers of prisoners the Germans have taken, with equally fantastic claims regarding our losses of tanks and planes. this lying propaganda switched over to a new method of simply stating that the number of Soviet planes destroyed since June 22 had been increased by from 20 to 25 per cent. only comment on this is that German propaganda is concealing from the German people tha fact that the best divisions of tne German army have been smashed owing to the heroic resistance put up by the Red army, that the number of Germans killed or wounded totals 700,000 and that districts conquered by the Germans are sown with the corpses of hundreds of thousands of German soldiers who have found their graves on the battle The early war communique reported violent fighting on the Dvinsk, Borisov, Bobnmk and Tar-nopol fronts and said that in other sectors the Russians were holding firmly against Germans who were trying to drive wedges into Russian territory. On the Dvinsk front, the communique said, the Germans brougnt up large tank units and motorized infantry.

They attacked but Russian troops held their positions stubbornly, it was said. With the arrival of reserves which the Germans were compelled to throw into the battle, the Russians withdrew to their next defense line, it was admitted. The Russians repulsed a fierce tank attack in the Lepel sector, southeast of Dvinsk and north of Minsk, the communique said, out the Germans succeeded in advancing a few kilometers after German planes came to their aid. In the Tamopol sector east of Lwow. the communiaue said, the HARRISBURG.

July 5 (U.R) The list of "forgotten men" among the appointees of Governor Arthur H. James awaiting the courtesy of confirmation by the State Senate Is headed by Colonel Lynn G. Adams, veteran motor police commissioner. After a six-month session, the Senate shows no more Inclination to endorse this official than it did on opening day, January 7. Other controversial selections probably will attract the 34 votes necessary for confirmation, but Adams' name seems destined to remain in the Committee on Executive Nominations as it did throughout the 1939 regular and 1940 special legislative sessions.

The 32 Republicans dominating the chamber have been willing to vote for the head of the state troopers but the two Democratic "ayes" needed to round out the two-thirds majority for confirmation are lacking. Although Adams was kept on the state payroll during the "little New Deal" regime of former Governor George H. Earle which raised his rank from major to colonel in the merger of the state police and highway patrol. Senate Democrats are supporting labor union leaders' demands that confirmation be withheld in reprisal for the asserted anti-labor attitude of the constabulary in the past under Adams leader ship. The colonel undoubtedly will be reappointed by the governor after the Senate adjourns finally without confirming him.

Otherwise his salary will be withheld. Other James appointees to be confirmed are: John M. McKee. Crafton, chairman of the Milk Control Commission who failed of confirmation last season. Game commissioners George Irwin, Philllpa; O.

Ben Gipple, Harrisburg; John H. Price, Scranton, and Robert Lamberton, Franklin. Fish Commissioners Edward W. Nicholson, Philadelphia; John L. Neiger, Scranton; Joseph Crltchfield, Ursina, and Clifford J.

Welsh, Erie. Unemployment Compensation Referees Michael J. Stack, Philadelphia, Charles C. McGovern and Michael J. Muldowney, Pittsburgh.

Stack, a former congressman, was denied confirmation last session. John U. Shroyer, Shamokin, member of the State Veterans' commission. Mrs. Harriett D.

July 5 (U.R) United States officials today closely watched Japan's handling of her merchant marine for some hint of her new foreign policy, recently reoriented in the light of the Russo-German war. When the Japanese surpreme council recently announced that it had reached a decision on future policy it was said the policy would be made clear by action rather than by words. Officials are wondering whether readjustment of the mer hant marine is the first hint of what this will be. According to reports, several sail Ings are being canceled and vessels In United States ports are being called home.

The State Department has been informed that two ships loaded with chrome ore for the United States have been compelled to discharge their cargoes at Kobe and cancel their sailings. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles has upheld Japan's right to requ'sition her own ships and to leave the U. S. defense material stranded on the Kobe wharves in these two instances. But officials are keeping watch to make sure that no Japanese ves sels loaded with U.

S. materials are ordered to brine the cargo into Japanese ports for the purpose of delivering U. S. owned goods to Japan herself. Reports from Manila in dicate that the Nozima Maru, also loaded with chrome will be com pelled to leave her cargo there in case she is ordered to a Japanese port.

Two possible explanations of Japan's sudden interest in her merchant ship movements were put forward. One is that Japan wished to assist Germany and Italy by making a show of preparation for military action in order to keep the U. S. fleet in the Pacific. The other is that Japan wishes to increase her trade in other directions, free from dependence on the western hemis fphere.

The first proposal is regarded as the more plausible although it would indicate that Japan is willing to forego for the present, at least the shipments cf oil, scrap iron and other materials which she has received in limited quantities from this country. It would also indicate that Japan was willing to sacrifice to her Axis commitments her market for raw silk and other goods which are the backbone of her foreign trade. Japan's trade with Latin-America has increased materially since the outbreak of war. Sailings to Peru and Chile have increased due to im ports of minerals. Japan has also been a purchaser of Peruvian and Argentine cotton.

Observers could see no reason for discontinuing this trade unless Ja pan feels she can fill her needs more readily elsewhere. Almost any other source of supply, it was believed, would be readily subject to blockade, particularly if Japan were to move toward the Dutch East Indies. They regarded as more plausible the theory that she might be planning a move into French Indochina. This might furnish some of the supplies Japan lacks but would not solve the question of obtaining essential fuel oil. British Strike At Nazis Bases (Continued from Pin One) Sixteen German fighters were destroyed over northern France, and three British fighters and one bomber are missing, the ministry said.

Bremen was the principal objective of da5'light raids yesterday morning, following night raids on various points of the industrial Ruhr. "A large factory in the (Bremen) dock area was bombed from a low level, some of our aircraft coming down to 50 feet," an air ministry communique said. "Direct hits were obtained, followed by fires and explosions. "A goods yard and a railway junction in a northwest city also were attacked. Other bombers attacked Norderney Island (in the North Sea) where barracks and gun positions were raked with machine gun fire." Five planes were missing from these raids.

Essen carried the brunt of Thurs- day night's attack. "Here and elsewhere in the Ruhr, large fires were started," the air ministry said. Bremerhaven and Bremen were also raided. Seven British planes did not return. The German air force attacked shipping in the Enlgish Channel in the moonlight late last night.

Flashes from exploding bombs and the burst of anti-aircraft shells were visible from the shore at Folkestone. Shortly after the attack, two long-range German guns at Cap Gris Nez fired a half-dozen shells, PETROVICH'S CAFE 123 N.

Total for the month was 1.424 men, compared with enlistment of; 738 last month. An Army officer pointed out that 521 of the enlistments were received at Indlantown Gap and New Cumberland, both regular Army posts, where selectees were allowed to resign from the Army to enlist for three-year terms in social services chosen by them. Calls were issued for parachutists and air corps enlistees at Indian-town during the month. Subtracting enlistment of men already in the Army, it was pointed out, the normal enlistments were still nearly 200 above last month and heaviest In the. last three months.

But so far the policy adopted by Japan week has been kept secret and American officials presumably da not know whether Tokyo intends to move on the Soviet Union or to keep hands off. Mr.

Roosevelt took no public notice during his Hyde Park absence of a House Military Affairs Subcommittee report on national defense. It adversely criticized the production organization of the defense effort and, specifically, charged alleged shortcomings to the fact that Mr. Roosevelt has not delegated sufficient power to some individual to make the machine work. The War Department aroused controversy with a proposal by Gen. George C.

Marshall, cnief oi stafi, that the one-year service period of selectees, National Guardsmen and reserve officers be extended and that all limitation upon use of armed forces outside the western hemisphere be removed. Marshall's recommendation was made in a report to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson who already was on record with a similar propo sition. But there will be little more than a sham battle discussion of the proposition unless Mr. Roosevelt makes the issue his own or some administration adherent in Congress offers such a bill.

Marshall contended that the Army was impeded by limitations oi existing law which forbids free use of our armed forces for immediate dispatch to whatever point seems most desirable for the protection of the United States and by the limitation upon the length of service of individuals. Marshall hopes that in event of extreme emergency it would not be necessary to. spend much time in discussion. Germans Claim Smashing Gain (Continued from Paie One) Moscow dispatches said that guerrilla warfare was being waged behind the German lines, and the Berlin communique partly supported this statement with a report that 'parts of the enemy troops were engaged by our reserves behind our lines and wiped out" south of the Pripet marshes. The Germans also claimed to have captured a Russian major general, said that there were increasing signs of "revolution" in Russia and chat the Red army was now estimated to have Kst about 500,000 men in the big German trap near Bialy-stok.

On the western air front, the British continued to throw more and more power into their back-door attacks on Germany. After pounding hard at Bremen, the Royal Air Force returned to severe attacks on the Nazi-occupied coast of France during the night. Bombs were laid across three German warships at Brest and submarines moored at Lorient. The battleships were named as the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and the new cruiser Prinz Eugen, all of which had been damaged in previous raids. Other bombers attacked docks at Cherbourg and targets in the German Rhinelaand, where the Berlin communique reported "weak" raids.

In the Middle East, the British reported that Italian resistance was virtually over in Ethiopia and that their offensive against the Vichy French forces In Syria was gaining momentum. DANCE TONIGHT and TUESDAY Cameron House 48-50 N. First 8t. Spafhetti. Soups.

Other planes which flew in over the Frisian Islands on the North Sea coast were driven off, it was added, "Strong" formations of German planes bombed industrial objectives in the British Midlands "with good results," informants asserted. Two large fires and numerous smaller ones were caused in a Midlands town, it was said, and German planes bombed seaports and air fields in southern and southeastern England, including Plymouth where several fires were caused. Two British planes were shot down during the German raid on England, it was said, and six British planes which raided Germany were shot down. German planes sank a steamship in the Bristol channel, it was said.

The official news agency reported that in a raid on Brest during the night British planes destroyed a 90-foot Canadian war memorial which was overturned and smashed. MT.

The Supreme Soviet voted last niEht to increase taxes from 50 per cent to 200 per cent, depending on occupation ana income, as a lem porary war measure. BERLIN, July 5 (U.R) German informants asserted today that the Russian armies were retreating along the entire front and the Ger man armies were approaching the "Stalin line" of defense along the Dnieper River. Reports from the front gave little information on the actual positions but emphasized the continued work of the German air force. A special communique issued last night at Adolf Hitler's headquarters said: "After shooting their political commissars Friday 20,000 of the still encircled parts of the Soviet Army near Minsk deserted." (Russia several months ago announced the end of the system under which political commissars were attached to each unit of the fighting forces.) Nazis asserted that "much attention" was being given to this spe-cial communique in political heacs-quarters here.

The alleged desertion, it was suggested, might be interpreted as "the first revolutionary sign, er at least showed that the Russian troops are unwilling to offer resistance against hopeless odds." After this "desertion," the Nazis said, the "annihilation battle" in the Bialystok region must be regarded as finished.
