 Moscow, July 10. = (UP) - The First White Russian Army smashed through to the east bank of the Bug river today and battled for crossings into Germany's Government General of PO- land while other Soviet forces drove deeper into Lithuania and Latvia in a march to- ward the Baltic.
 (German broadcasts acknowledged that the Russians, attacking with 10 infantry divisions and three tank brigades, had broken through Ger man lines on the east bank of the Bug river west of Kowel, but added the customary claim that the pene. trating units had been destroyed)
 GA London broadcast said Adolph Hitler had transferred his eastern front headquarters from East Prus- sia deeper into the German Reich. The broadcast was recorded by CBS.)
 Their intermediate defense line guarding Poland, Cast Prussia and the Baltic States shattered, the Germans appeared to have accen- tuated their withdrawal westward all along 350-mile front from Dau- gavpils (Dvinsk) in the north to the Bug river in the south with the single exception of the Lithu- anian stronghold of Wilno.
 Street battles for Wilno of so> viet Lithuania, went into the third day with the garrison resisting fana- tically under orders to hold olS to the last man. The Germans threw five more picked regiments into battle over the weekend, but the Russians seized the railway sta- tion and airfield yesterday.
 Wilno also was threatened with encirclement by a column from Gen. Ivan D. Cherniakhovsky's 3rd White Russian army which pushed deeper into Lithuania on a 25-mile front south of the city and at last re- ports was only 80 miles from the 1889 border of East Prussia.
 Some 55 miles south of Wilno, another 3rd Army column drove to within less than 70 miles of East Prussia by capturing the fourway railway junction of Lida. The fall of Lida, 62 miles northwest of Grod- no, completed the rupture of the enemys intermediate defeuse line before the m ain Brest-Litovsk- Bialystok- Grodno- Wilno- -Daugavpils

G. !. Ballots Scrop Paper

Boston, July 10.-(UP)-Political observers estimated today that 80 per cent of the 2,400,000 ballots dis tributed for tomorrows Massachu- sets primaries would find their way -unmarked-into the baskets of the paper salvage drive.
 The lightest primary vote in the state since World War was fore- seen because CD more than 500,000 eligible voters are away at war; CD the lackadaisical campaign has failed to stir public interest and (S) primary day has been advanced from September to Juy and thou sands of eligible voters are at dis tant vacation spots.
 Though the names of 1l30 candi- dates for state and county offices will appear on the ballot, there were few Standout contests. Chief inter- est seemed to center on the Demo- cratic fight for the gubernatorial nomination, in which Mayor Mau- rice J. Tobin of Boston opposes State Treasurer Francis x. Hurley. Tobin has the support of the CIO's political action committee, a new factor in Massachusetts politics.
 With Gov. Leverett Saltonstall and It. Gov. Horace T. Cahill un- opposed for the Republican nomina- tions for U. S. Senator and gover- nor, respectively, main interest on the Republican side focused on the five-sided battle for the Lieutenant governor nomination. The candi- dates are Dist. Atty. Robert F. Brad- ford, Cambridge; Senate President Jarvis Hunt, North AttlebCTO; House Speaker Rudolph ?. King Millis; Daniel E. Mclean, Beverly and Will liam H. McMasters, Belmont.

 Allied Supreme Headquar- ters, London, July 10. - (UP) - The British Second Army struck out in a new of- fenSive from it's Odon bridge head southwest of liberated Caen today, quickly captured Eterville, and pressed on along a three-mile front to- ward the enemy's Orne river line in initial gains of 1000 to 1 800 yards.
 Front dispatches disclosed that General Sir Bernard L. Montgom- ery's tanks and infantry, supported by warships and rocket-firing planes, had cleared a six-mile stretch of the north bank of the Orne river, which cuts through Caen's southern outskirts.
 Canadian forces drove two bridge heads across the Odon river 8 short distance from its confluence with the Orne just outside Caen and were expected to join with the main forces in Caen itself in a smash across the latter river onto the plains to the south.
 A headquarters spokesman said the final stages of the British ad- vance into Caen were so rapid that the Germans were not believed to have had time to destroy all the ONDON OfinalrYtaoinshrdlucmfwy bridges over the Orne.
 The American First Army at the western end of the 11-mile front also was bending back the German line, which was described by Allied headquarters as everywhere in a state of strain.
 One column pushed 2,000 yards south of the newly-captured com- municaticns center of It Have -Du- PuitS, another seized Le Desert and Cavigny, three miles southwest and three southeast respectively of St. Jean-De Daye, and a third drove down the Carentan-Periers road to within five miles northeast of Periers.
 Headquarters acknowledged that the Germans had made a minor gain in violent counter-attacks on Mt. Castro plateau southeast of La Have, though the Americans still held high ground there.
