On the northern sector—pre sumabh in the Minsk area—the Germans asserted they were pushing the Russians in retreat. The nazi spokesman indicated that \dolt Hitler's invasion for ces already were in sight of Smolensk, 200 miles east of Minsk on the highway to Mos cow. Smolensk is about the Tialf way mark to the Soviet capital. The spokesman said a big pocket was being formed around Russian troops in the Smolensk region, while a special German war bulletin declared "on the north w ing we are in constant pursuit." Once again the implication was that Russia's resistance was crumbling under the impact of Hitler's lightning tactics, execut ed by a force which the Rus sians themselves estimated at more than 2.500.000 troops— presumably including Germany's allies, the Finns. Slovaks. Ru manians and Hungarians. < B\ The Associated Press.)
