48 hours may Decide fate DfS-cviet llnion

LONDON, July 4 _.. (cp)_ Russia can lose the war or lay the foundations of eventual German defeat in the next ll hours, informed military sour- ces said today.

If the German armies are given time to consolidate their gains of the first 10 days of lighting and launch new and more intensive drives on Len- ingrad, Kiev and Moscow the Soviets can lose “these cities within a. week, maybe less," these persons declared.

The Russians have an oppor- tunity to halt the invasion in the tracks of its crawling arm- ored divisions but “the chance is a long one and if taken must be taken immediately,” one source said.

While the German advances north and south of the Pripet mflffihfis PHISB. he added, “the Russians must gather all arm- ored units and supporting alr- rraft and attack at all vital areas."

The best method of cutting German supply lines, he said, is lo use armored formations in cavalry tactics while if the ad- vanced units themselves lire halted it must be done "by con- centration of’ artillery, horizon- tal and dive bombing, plus a great man guns of anti-tank and anti-a rcrnft type."

The informant asserted in- formation had been received that some German armored columns already are suffering

heavily from Russian artillery and had been slowed down by fuel shortages.

WASHINGTON, July 3—(AP)— Senator Burton Wheeler (Dem- Montana), an opponent of admin- istration foreign policy, said today he had information that the aci- ministration soon would send Am- erican navy and army forces to occupy Iceland.

Wheeler did not disclose the source of his information, but de- curred:-

“I am reliabl informed that we are about to ta e over Iceland and send troops and ships and planes there.

“My information is that the men will embark on the 23rd or the 24in of Ju ."

Iceland was taken over by Can- adian and British forces after Ger- muny had taken control of Den- mark. Wheeler said it was his understanding that American for- ces would relieve the British troops now On the island.

He said he had been advised that the Government wanted to hold Iceland so that U. S. merchant ships could can-y goods to that point and transfer them to British

vessels. “Then," the isolationist senator continued, “American ships and

planes wiLl patrol the routes used by the British ships 0n the re- mainder of the Journey across the Atlantic.”

Wheeler made his statement to reporters at an informal press con- ferenoe in his office.
