Mariampole. a road junction in western Lithuania, is 25 miles southeast of Schirwindt, and Cher-niakhovsky's troops have been fighting for weeks in the intervening area bombarding East Prussia's defenses and grinding down large Nazi reserves flung into desperate battles. The last German word on the fighting in the area was a late broadcast last night in which a military commentator declared "no major advances have been made by the Russians toward the frontier though all interests of the Russian command seem to go in that direction." This peril to East Prussia, cradle of German militarism, highlighted all the action along the eastern front, but other Soviet armies which had broken across the Vistula River in central Poland 110 miles south of Warsaw also captured 20 localities in their fan-like sweep. The sweep threatened not only to outflank the German-held Polish capital but also threatened a breakthrough toward German Silesia, last reported only 75 miles beyond Soviet spearheads. Continued street fighting was reported in Sandomierz.

west bank stronghold 110 miles southeast of Warsaw, as the Russians sought to secure another key crossing. East of Praga, industrial suburb of besieged Warsaw, Russian troops successfully beat off attacks by infantry and tanks, the Moscow bulletin said, as the Germans continued a bitter effort to weaken the noose closing on the old Polish capital. Mopping Up Trapped Nazis North and west of Petseri in Ete-tonia, another Soviet army rolled on toward the Baltic Sea, chopping into scattered fragments the 200,000 German troops estimated to be trapped in Latvia and Estonia. More than 150 localities were seized, the communique said. German East Prussia, where decisive battles of the First World War were fought, now was imminently threatened by three powerful conquering Soviet armies along a front nearly 200 miles long, extending from northern Poland at a point below the annexed Suwalki Triangle northward beyond the Nie-men River in northern Lithuania.

ZOO Tanks Wrecked The intensity of the fighting was indicated by Moscow's announcement that 200 German tanks had been wrecked Wednesday, a figure well above the recent daily average. In addition to Cherniakhovsky's drive. East Prussia also was endangered by Gen. Ivan Bagramian's First Baltic Army. The communique said his troops fought stubborn engagements against "large forces of enemy infantry and tanks which have gone over to the offensive" in the area northwest, west and southwest of Siauliai in northern Lithuania.

Russian troops in this sector last were reported within 62 miles northeast of Tilsit, East Prussia, and about the same distance east of the province's Baltic port of Memel. In Estonia, wnere Gen. Ivan Maslennikov's Third Baltic. Army STARTS TOMORROW loars Open m. New rullr.
