NEWSMEN TO
GO TO ICELAND
WASHINGTON, Aug. — Presi
dent Roosevelt has given final
clearance to the assignment of
American newsmen to Iceland,
acording to an announcement
made by the White House.
The clearances were held up
! several days until details for the
' sending of American newsmen
: to Iceland could be worked out
| by commanders of the British
and American forces, which are
in joint occupancy of Iceland, it
was said.
Prepared To Fight
According to Joseph Driscoll
of the New York Herald Tribune
who recently visited Iceland,
United States troops in Iceland
I are prepared to fight and hold
j the Atlantic key post. American
! troops are entrenched for the
duration and have taken battle
positions besides the British,
ready for joint action if the
Nazis launch an invasion from
Norway.
Meanwhile, says Joseph Dris
coll, there are indications that
the Germans may be planning an
invasion by sea and air to oust
British and American from Ice
land with cooperation of fifth col
umnists and potential quislings,
who are reported to be numerous
among the 12,000 natives.
Suspiciously large Nazi troop
movements are known to be un
der way in Norway, only 600
miles across the North Atlantic
from the island outpost of Ice
land.
Might Attack Russia
Conceivably these troops are
being assembled far an attack
upon Russia by way of Finland
or for an invasion of Irelianld
and Scotland or England.
Not to be ruled out, however,
is the possibility that the troops
can easily be directed to Ice
land. Nazi parachutists could ef
fect a landing in Iceland as they
did in a certain other British
owned island named Crete, says
Joseph Driscoll. „
Driscoll added that in his opin
ion only 50,000 Germans would
be needed for a successful inva-v.
sion of Iceland.
