REDS CROSS RIvERUNDER
 HEAVY FIRE
Last Natural Barrier Before Minsk Is HurdIed by
 Hordes of Russians

MOSCOW, June 30.-Red Army units in force have plunged across the Berezina River northeast of Minsk, while engineers of two Sov- jet Armies hurried pontoons in place for a mass crossing of the last natural obstable before Minsk.
 Field dispatches said that the first units met stiff fire of strong German forces and from artillery positions west of the river, but there are no indications the re- treating Nazis have been able to make stand here.
 Great swarms of Stormoviks, Yaks and medium bombers kept up the round the clock aerial of- fensive against the Wermacht. The Russians said T Nazi planes were downed in 24 hours, and the Ger man dead and captured scared to the 150,000 mark during the last five days in White Russia.
 Describing the scene where the Russians mopped up five divisions, killing upward of l6,000, end cap turing 18,000 men southeast of Bo- bruisk, one Soviet correspondent said, Only eye witnesses can have an idea of the magnitude of this defeat. It looks as if a tornado had passed over these fields of the dead"

Americans However Have Control of Entire South-
 ern Half of Island
By LEIF ERICKSON

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, PEARL HARBOR, June 29. tDelayed)-- Battling against heavy resistance, the American ground forces have made small gains along the front extending across strategic Saipan but have plotted out all Japanese resistance in the southeast corner on Nafutan Point.
 A most severe" defense is being put on by the enemy in the noun tair1ous central sector.
 Another carrier based aircraft strike was made last Tuesday against Pagan Island, north of Saipan, and a water reservoir, barracks and sev- eral harbor craft were hit, the latter by rocket fire. Returning pilots re- ported the airfield appeared to have been knocked out. Only one plane was visible on the ground, seem- ingly unusable.
 Resistance on Nafutan Point col lapsed Tuesday when the enemy force there, possibly only several hundred Japs, tried to break out.
 Heavy losses have been inflicted on the entire southern half of the island now entirely in American hands.
 The enemy resistance on Saipan is the most stubborn yet encount- cred and the defenders are using motars, artillery and small arms in an apparent last stand. e

HEAVY FOG
 HELPS RAID
 ON kURILE5
Jap Food Supply Suffers as Fishing Fleet Run Down
 by U. 5. Desfroyers
By NORMAN BELL

WITH THE NAVY TASK FORGE IN THE NORTH PACIFIC, June 26. -Delayed) Guns from the fog proving task force blazed like roar ing wraiths of destruction in a new attack, the second in two weeks, on Japan's Kurile Islands. Targets were enemy shipping and the Kurabu Zaki airdrome at the southern end of Paramushiro.
 While the larger ships bombarded shore installations, destroyers struck at enemy ships and boats between Kurabu and Suribaci off the east ern Paramushiro coast. The fishing boat fleet, possibly making catches for the Suribachi canneries, were virtually run down by the task force.
 This is direct blow at the major enemy food supply, as fish and rice are the principal items of the Jap diet.
 The bombardment lasted nearly 30 minutes, but the destroyers were in action much longer, with their five-inch guns blazing away in the night at the fishing. fleet apd other seagoing craft. There was some re- turn fire from the ships and shore, but the strong task force simply brushed it aside, and the torpedo boats and other small war vessels vanished into the fog as suddenly as they appeared.
 No ship of the force was damaged, and the fog gave the task force air protection. The Jap planes buzzed about like angry hornets after the bombardment, and one almost brushed some of the ships, but the fog, as one sailor said, had its arms around us like mother"
 The raiding and bombardment was another of Admiral Fletcher's moves to keep the Japs off balance on the top of their troubled empire.

The w ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON CLt Col. Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army.)

WASHING NGTO N-Whether he wins or not next November, Dewey has already given himself a liberal education in how to run the com plicated affairs of the U. s. A. One of his latest lessons was regarding the all-important job of being Commander-in-C Chief of the Army and Navy.
 The lesson was given by Com mander Walter Gale Ebert, son of Mrs. Cara Ebert, Republican ha- tionaI committeewoman from West Virginia. Young Ebert, submar- inc commander with an excellent record, was called to Albany through mutual COP friends and had long talk with Dewey.
 Ebert has made quite a study of Army Navy cooperation, believes rivalry between the two is detri- mental to the war, has worked out elaborate plans for consolidating their education and training. He believes the problem can be solved partly by Army and Navy men going to joint schools, learning to know each others problems.
 At Albany, Commander Ebert had a fifteen-minute appointment with the Governor. He stayed for one hour and a half. At the end, Dewey was so impressed, he sug- gested that Ebert's ideas should have wider circulation.
 Do you mind if I call Harry Luce?" he asked.
 Ebert acquiesced. Dewey picked up the phone and arranged for a conference with the publisher of Time, Life and Fortune.
 NOTE-Navy colleagues at first were worried for fear Commander Ebert might get in Dutch with higher-ups for having original ideas about the Navy and transmitting them to Republicans. They forgot that the Navy is pretty much run by Republicans.

BRITISH ON ADVANCE


 SUPREME HEADQUARTERS OF THE ALLIED ExPEDITIONARY FORCES. June 30. = The advance elements of the two British columns driving around Caen in opposite di- rections are today within II miles of encircling the inland French port and stronghold as the Germans threw large armored forces against the Odon River bridgehead in un- successful flank attacks
 From newly captured Marcelet, Montgomery's troops struck due east toward Caen and the thrust menaced the city's main airfields At last reports the Allied troops are only half mile from this field.
 Thus far the Allies have taken only one important airfield in the bridgehead and that is Maupertus.
