MOSCOW. Oct. 8. - The Red
Army, pressing a new surprise Of
fensive all the way from White Rus
STA to the Black Sea, are reported
expanding three bridgeheads west
of the Dnieper. Particularly the
one below Kiev threatened to cave
in Germanys entire Eastern Front.
Frontline dispatches from the
Army newspaper, Red Star, said the
major crossing of the Dnieper was
south of Oereyaslav, SO miles below
Kiev, which may prove to be one
of the decisive operations Of the

The operation caught the enemy
by surprise and was carried out in
four hours under cover of darkness
The Russian forces formed a
wedge in the Germans vaunted
Dnieper River line, and are report
ed to have already organized basic
point, consolidated their ground and
enlarged the bridgehead for further
crossings.
Dozens of populated places have
already been captured on the west
bank of the Dnieper at the central
crossing and at two others north of
Kiev near the confluence of the
Pripet and Dnieper Rivers. also
southeast of Kremenchung, between
that captured city and Dnepropet-
rovsk
Dispatches said the announce
ment of the crossings are taken
here to mean the Red Army po-
sitions beyond the Dnieper are now
secure, and the battle is underway
for the liquidation of the Germans
on the main defense line and the
occupation of Kiev.
