The early morning supplement to the Russian communi- que reported a general surge forward all along the jagged battle line from the Latvian border to the middle of the Prip- yat marshes and said the Germans were suffering "tremendous losses." Smash 28 Miles During the day, Red troops smashed 28 miles northwestward across the highway between Kaunas, former capital of the Lithuanian republic, and Daugav- pils (Dvinsk) in southern Latvia, probing within 120. miles of the Baltic seaport of Riga. Wilno (Vilna) was completely encircled and Moscow said Soviet troops were wiping out German forces left in the center of the city.

Even as this bloody hand-to- hand fighting continued, other Soviet units by-passed the ancient city and rushed on, capturing the rail junction of Landwarow, miles west. 10 The relentless Russian drive was reported in British dispatches to have reached within 60 miles of East Prussia. The Swedish newspaper Morgon Tidningen reported that East Prussia already had been declared a prime defense zone and that German authorities had ordered and children to prepare for evacuation to southwest Germany. Remnants Being Cleared Meanwhile the mopping up of German remnants left to the rear as the sped westward continued and Moscow said 2,000 were killed and 3,500 captured yesterday in the area east of Minsk alone.

On Mission In Fiasee The manufacturer was head of a mission in France at the time advising on aircraft production.

"After he brought England to her knees," Ward testified, "Hitler planned to attack the United States through Mexico with tanks and other armored equipment that we did not have." The plan, he told newspapermen later, was to make a feint through-Newfoundland, and then invade the United States through Mexico. He said HitJer not only planned military invasion "but he had a complete plan for economic domination of the world." Ward appeared with othev aircraft executives representing the aeronautical chamber of commerce, outlining a program for reconversion and vast expansion of civilian and commercial flying, along with maintenance of a formidable military air force after the war.

Byrnes, director of war mobilization, to decide or compromise the differ-' erices between Donald M. Nelson and the armed services. Byrnes said that the four orders sponsored by War' Production Board Chairman the aim of starting limited manufacture of civilian goods where labor and materials are available and thus letting industry prepare for not yet reached him.

"If any agency objects to, them, the matter will come before me, and it will be given immediate attention," Byrnes told reporters. Byrnes was described by an aide as feeling that Nelson and the military are not actually far apart, but if they fail to reach an early settlement and the question comes to him. he "will promptly decide the issues." Allied Pace In Italy Slackens ROME, July 10 Increased enemy resistance, marked by desperate counterattacks and heavy of artillery in forward positions, has called a halt to Allied advances along the bloody 150-mile fighting front in Italy. The most significant gain carved out in the past 24 hours was by American troops who pushed to a point four miles north of the captured stronghold of Volterra near the west coast where they penetrated toward Arno river outposts of the Gothic line. Blow To Naxi Hopes The loss of Volterra was officially described as a blow to the German's hopes of holding the Allies indefinitely on the approaches to the Arno river and the so-called "Gothic line." Fifth Army headquarters also reported gains of unspecified distances along the Tyrrhenian coast, where American troops were within some 10 miles of the big port of Livorno (Leghorn), which was reported in flames from enemy demolitions.

Elsewhere along the front, gains were extremely limited or non- existant, with the Eighth Army making its only recorded progress in the upper Tiber valley eight miles north of Umbertide. It was announced that U. S. Air forces lost eight heavy bombers and one fighter plane in yesterday's destructive attack on two of the few refineries still in operatiop in the Ploesti area of Romania. Fourteen German planes were reported destroyed.

By the indicated wheat crop is 119,000,000 bushels greater than the previous record harvest 1915 and exceeds las' year's of 291,000,000 bushels.

It will go far toward restoring reserves largely depleted by wartime demands for livestock feed and industrial uses.
