WASHINGTON, July 28—(AP)— The United States informed Japan tonight that prompt clearance will be guaranteed Japanese ships from American ports.

Among these is the big Japanese liner Tatuta Maru with a. large number of American passengers a- board.

Flurry over Seized German Radio transmitter
BUENQS limes. July zc-(AI) The Congressional committee in- vestigating anti-Argentine activi- ties announced tonight it would turn over to the German emblimy a portable rad‘o transmitter seiz- ed ln an airplane travelling from Peru to Argentina.
The committee acceded to reit- erated demands of the Germflll government for return of the pro- perty.
The German protest was support- ed by the Argentine foreign office on grounds that the Sou-pound transmitter was travelling under diplomatic immunity.
The mmittee had contended that it was not "diplomatic baz- gage" as the Germans insisted but was an air express parcel not on- titled t0 immunity.

July 29 -('I‘uesday) —(AP)— Soviet Russia. claimed to- day that the German offensives aimed at Moscow and Kiev are "breoklilg against the firmness and stubborness of our troops" and that counter attacking Red soldiers have inflicted heavy losses on the Ger- mans in some areas of the vast front.
The Ilenviest fighting was in the

The Soviet information bureau indicated in its morning communi- que that Russian forces passed to energetic counter drives after the German drives bogged down.
Aside from the Smolensk and Zhitornir fighting, the communi- que snid, there were no important combats on the front.

‘Interpreting The War News
(By Klrke L. Simpson, Assoc- iated Press Staff Writer)
The German high com. mand‘s prediction of quick victory in the bottle of Smo- lensk seems premature; but it cannot. be ignored. It. might mean the shattering of the
main Russian defence bas- tion and exposure of Red armies to encirclemcnt on a
gigantic scale.
Presumably that is what the Hitler headquarters announce- ment is intended to forecast. It says Russian efforts to re-

However, if the Russians fail to hold Smolensk their greatest danger would seem to be to the south rather than the cast. So far as meagre and confusing accounts of the situation now indicate, Rus. sian lines behind the Dnieper River are still intact from Smolensk westward to Orshan thence south t0 Mogilev.
Should the Red Dflhy dc- fence at SmOZCllsk crumble, a huge Nazi turning movement southward fur behind the Dnieper front would be pos- sible. There are strong indi- cations that the original Nazi plan called for a slmultnneous breaching of the Dnieper line ht Smolensk and at Mogllev, about as far south down the
