Press in New York said the Russians had crossed the border, but gave no details.
 A Soviet communIque last mid- night acknowledged that the Ger mans at frightful cost had blasted a narrow corridor along the coast of the Gulf of Riga and re-estab- lished contact with elemnts Of some 90 Germans divisions encircles in Latyia and Estonia.
 After re-capturing Tukums, 33 miles west of Riga and key to the coastal corridor. the Germans shift ed the main weight Of their attacks southward along a 55-mile front stretching from Jelgaya, 27 miles south of Riga. to Giauliai.
 Although attacking with as many as 400 tanks at one time in a try for a knockout blow that would complete the crumbling of the Soviet gill fencing in the Baltic armies. the Germans failed to mere than dent the Russian lines.
 Farther south, Soviet tanks and infantry plunged through a 22- mile-wine gap ill the German dee lenses northeast of Warsaw and pre- paced to smash across the Bug river In a drive outilanEing the Polish capital from the north.
 Close to the Bug
 Marshal Konstantin 4. Rokossoy- sky's list White Russian Army reached or neared the south bank of the Bug on a broad front in a major break through of German strong points along the Warsaw BialystOk Railway, capturing more than SO towns and villages in ad- yanceg of three to nine miles.

While the battle for Warsaw mounted fin fury, German PanZer forces finally blasted open a nar- row corridor along the coast of the Gulf Of Riga and re-established con- tact with clements Of some 90 Ger man divisions in Latyia and EStonia.
 The Soviet high command acknowledged in its Monday mid- night communique that its ring Of encirclement had broken under ter rife German pressure. Soviet sources said it was premature to conclude that the corridor was. or would sbe, large enough to enable the German Baltic forces to escape to East Prussia.
 Tukums Abandoned
 The Russians abandoned Tukums, 8 miles west Of Riga and key 10 the coastal corridor, the communiqne said, but only after i.4G5 German tanks had been knocked out in the past eight days.
 Recapture Of Tukums gave the Germans control of a railway from Riga to the Baltic port Of Ventspils, but the railway was under Soviet fire and probably had been de- stroyed by the Red Army before its withdrawal.
 Southeast of Tukunls, Gen. Ivan o. Bagramian's list Baltic Army continued to repnise other powerful enemy attacks. thgarting German efforts to win a second corridor into the Baltic pocket.
 The pocket also appeared in danger of being split as Gen. Ivan !. MaglennikOy's 3rd Baltic Army pushed deeper into southern Estonia and captured Kambja, nine mllse south of Tartu and only five miles east of the Riga-Tallinn Railway, ,.
 R0k0ssoysky launched his assault on the German defense line north east of Warsaw on a 30-mtle front between Prsotyn, one mile south 0i the Warsaw -BialystOk Railway bridge spanning the Bug river. and TlllszeZ. le miles northeast Of Praga, WaFsaw's easiernmost borough.

 Showdown Nearing
 Meanwhile, the battle Of Paris ape neared Co be nearing a showdown as American armor pressed in on the city from three sides against slightly BtIffening enemy resistance.
 Berlin admitted the loss of Etam- pes.Fontainebleau highway 35 miles south of the former French cap ital Headquarters spokesmen rec fused to confirm or deny front re- ports that other american units had tpiunged across the Seine at Fon~ eainebleau and driven 90 miles north Ap the Marne at Meaux, 9 miles wst-northeast of Paris.
 The reported thrust appeared highly possible, however. as the Ger ynans were not believed to have suf- gicient force in the Paris area for on all-out defense of the city.
 s'Henceforth the Allied armies Will be able to advance victually at will in France" high military Dpokesmen told a United Press war correspondent. There is nothing that can stop us at the present time"
 Front reports. which headquarters npokesmen refused to elaborate, said ] It. Gen. George S. Patton's fast- rolling tanks and mechanical in- 1antry had thrust across the Seine 1n the Fontainebleau area, some g miles south of Paris. and were wheeling northward toward the Marne and the battlefields of World War One through feeble resistance.
 One American unit already was reported to have reached the Marne ct Meaux, % miles east-northeest of Paris and 70 miles above the break through point around Fon- tainebleau. Another was said to be in Rozoy, 27 miles southeast of the capital.
 Armored Ring
 Coupled with the broad American breakfhrough across the Seine northwest Of Paris. the new drive drew an armored ring more than half-way around the capital. Inside the city, great fires were reported raging at a score Of points and Ger man troops. their last escape eorri- dor closing rapidly behind them. fought for their lives against a swelling army of thousands Of French patriots
 With American armor running riot beyond the Seine and British, Canadian and American troops pounding in from the west, the bat- tle og northwestern France appeared entering the m0pping-up stage.
