There was no immediate Russian
confirmation of the push, and the
Nazi commentator, Ernst Won Ham
mer, did not say fatty that it was
the beginning Of the expected
Soviet thrust through the Galati
gap toward the Ploesti oil fields
valley, generally expected to be
timed with the Allied invasion of
Hitler's Europe from the west.
Tonight's broadcast Soviet COM
munique, containing only three
sentences, said that during the
day there were no essential
changes at the front" It was the
first bulletin since May 20 which
contained no mention of battle
in the Iasi vicinity.
The terse Moscow communique
said IS Nazi tanks had been
knocked out and % enemy planes
destroyed Wednesday.
Early Russian dispatches had
said that ''soon Russian infantry
will march across German land"
If the attack actually was more
than relatively local operation
among a series of fierce grapples
north of Iasi in the past two weeks
it was likely to be followed inn
mediately by a 1unge of Soviet
armies toward Warsaw in Po-
land.
