Zakharov's armored forces closed an assault arc along a 20-mile front south southwest and southeast of Lomzha yesterday, beating down savage resistance and capturing more than 30 towns and settlements,
 The Nazis. fighting from deeply echeloned Notifications that covered every yard of the marshlands before Lomzha, threw tanks, shock troops and mobile artillery into the battle and counter-attacked repeatedly and vainly.
 One Russian column captured Konarzyce, Ia miles south of Lomzha, while Chojny- -Smieszne, five miles west-southwest of the Citadel, and Pniewo, 6 miles south east, also were taken.
 Russian heavy artillery opened a furious bombardment of Lomzha as the ground troops closed in, and 1t was indicated that the fall of the town, the last important stronghold below East Prussia. was imminent.
 Mute On KrosnO
 There was no word on the pro- gress of the fighting around Warsaw 75 miles southwest of Lomzha, where the Germans claimed a Rus- sian offensive against Praga, east ern suburb of the Polish capital, had been repulsed. Neither did the early communique confirm Berlln's report that German troops evacuated Krosno. SS miles southeast of Kra- kow.
 (German broadcasts said Krosno was abandoned Sunday night be- fore a strong Russian attack that poised a two-day threat either to Krakow, gateway to German Silesia or the Carpathian Mountain passes leading into Czechoslavalxia.)
 Furious fighting continued in cen- tral Ronnania, where German and Hungarian troops fell back under converging Red Army drives aimed at the broad Transylvanian Plains leading northwestward to Hungary.
 One Russian spearhead advanced a miles west along the Brasov-Alba Iuiia railway to captured Sighisoara land then drove on for another a miles to take Medias. s6 miles south-

 Walking through this half mile long sestlon of the line, one could discern why the French called the Maglnot line the greatest fortress of all time.
 Besides Q regular elevator which held at least 20 men there was 6 freight elevator with e load capacity of 30 men. Tn one corridor were i2 showers, ell working.
 Further down the corridor was another elevator which took the observer 70 feet up to where four great guns pointed toward oer- many.
 McNamara examined the guns hurriedly. He said he thought it possible they could Dc operated If the long barrels had not corroded too much in four years of inatten- ton.
 The guns apparently are fired blind. Above them is painted q huge landscape of the terrain directly op- poSite. A Spotter could telephone the range target, giving the diners oil the necessary information. The diners then could look ct the painted landscape and decide where to send the shells,
 No Sabotage Try
 The Germans made no attempt to destroy this section of the line. It was believed they never dreamed the Allied offensive could arrive SO quickly and delayed demolitions too long There was no indication they had attempted to turn the guns around in defense against invasion from the west.
 Andre said the fort nevc. vas operated by German troops.
 The Germans had removed all the ammunition and this mny keep the Allies from using the guns un. less the French can supply them.
 Earlier, Americans had captured Fort de Silley Le Sec eight and Q half miles southwest of Nancy. It had been built in 1904 and later was partly modernized as Q back. stop for the Maginot Line.
 It had been e sore spot for Amer. lean infantrymen attempting to push beyond Foul, Two attacks found their shells bouncing off the 10 feet walls as If they were popcorn balls, The Germans finally evacu. ated 1t.
 Tn Two Attacks
 Pfc. Thomas Beria, bazooks gunner of Ticonderoga, N, Y, who accompanied us through its under. ground corridors, said he had beer in two attacks on the fort.
 This is really haunted house as far as I am concerned he said. Tt was tough in the attacks but I don't like the place any better from the inside either. They say there are still some German dead and wounded left in 1t somewhere. This morning we found three SS men sleeping in one room"
 "It was a funny thing about those three guys" added Pfc. Max Henry of St. Louis" They must have been roaming around the fort yesterday after its fall. There werV two Red Cross mobile girls here at the same time dishing out dough. nuts"

Lewis Blasts Roosevelt

CContinued from Page D over the radio after that afternoon the policy committee had called off the stoppage."
 How did you like that?" he shouted to the 2,700 delegates.
 "Well, vote him into office next November and I think that you will have some more of 1t in April, D Lewis added.
 The present contract between the miners and operators expires April i, l945.
 In an attack upon an insurgent group of delegates seeking auto- nomy for 2l of the 3l UNIV dis tricts, Lewis charged that "Roose- welt, Browder and Hillman had hired themselves a man to de- throne the "old man."
 Question
 "Yes," Lewis said, they fur nished him with some money to publish some smear literature and get some interviews in the press WCAAs WAA8g 9A SAA0b 8OAAAS OAAi just what in the hell am I sup- posed to be doing?"
 The attack was aimed at Ray Ed mundson of Springfield, H., a can- didate for international president opposing Lewis. A meeting held by e group of autonomists led by Edmundson has broken up yester- day by Lewis supporters.
 Lewis made no reference as to whether he would support Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Re- publican presidential nominee.
 Lewis attack on President Roose- welt was anticipated by some lead- CTS at the convention.
 A number of resolutions endors- ing President Roosevelt for a fourth term have been presented to the resolutions committee. Scores of Roosevelt lapel hndses appeared at pre-convention meetings yesterday and leaders said the temper Of the miners was similar Co that e 1880

 (Kay's dispatch bore evidence oi sharp censorship and did not men, ton specific buildings destroyed Persons familiar with Sofia believed however, that 75 per cent destruc- ton of the central area would al. most certainly have included the cathedral erected by Czar Alexander II of Russia after the Russians had liberated Bulgaria from Turkey ir 1S7S-S2. Other buildings in the cen- tral area include Moslem MoSquies the public baths and hot springs and the national museum.)
 Enroute to Sofia from Svillingrad on the Turkey frontier, I was ob- liged to make a detour to avoid a battle between Bulgarian and Ger man troops near the Greek frontier I learned that a German detach- ment had attempted to liberate a large number of interned Germans in a prison camp, Bulgarian troops overpowered the Germans.
 WreckaBe
 saw the wreckage of German transport all along the roads lead- ing into Sofia and in the capital l wes reliably informed that no more organized German troops remained in Bulgaria proper, although there still were some in the occupied zone between Nis and Pirot in Serbia. It was believed also that there might be small groups still lurking in the countryside. trying to reach German forces outside.
 I gained the impression from talk ing with residents of Sofia that they were holding their breath. waiting for their future to be de- cided at the Cairo parleys. There was considerable fear that extrem- ist elements might cause trouble be- fore the Cairo results became known,
 Meanwhile three Russian columns were moving across Dobrudja, the northeast tip of Bulgaria, disarming Bulgarian troops.
