MOSCOW, June 30.-Red Army
units in force plunged today into
the Berezina River northeast OF
Minsk, while engineers of two
Soviet armies hurried pontoons
into place for mass crossings of
the last natural obstacle before
the White Russian capital.
Field dispatches said the first
units met stiff fire from strong Ger
man forces on the west bank and
from artillery positions west of the
river, but there were no indications
that the retreating Nazis would be
able to make a stand here.
Although the fighting was sharp,
the gateway to Minsk appeared
open.
Great swarms Of Stormoviks, Yaks
and medium bombers kept up a

American armored forces farther

the historic city of Siena, 81 miles

on their right were only 10 miles

At the same time strong enemy
resistance began cracking under

ish forces, streaming northward,
captured the picturesque Lake Ira
simeno town of Castiglione del Lago,
which had been Nazi seaplane
base as well as a strong point. It is
the site Of the famous castle of the
Knights of Malta.
The new breakthrough, which
appeared to be paving the way for
the fastest advance on the widest
front since Marshal Albert Kessel-
ring managed to slow down the AL
lied offensive by great sacrifices,
was costing the enemy heavily in
men and equipment.

Conceding that Congress sought
only to protect those who had acted
IN good faith in revising the old
law, which expires today, the Presi-

ment
But if it should turn out that
the enforcing officers encounter
serious difficulties in bringing

Heretofore ceiling price violators
were subject to damages of three
times the amount of overcharge or
$50, whichever was greater. Now a
court may f1x the penalty as low as
$25 If the violation Is not deemed to
be willful one.
Mr.. Roosevelt took a dig at "the
clamor of pressure groups" for
changes in the law and expressed a
sense Of qualification that in spite of
this the Congress has stood firm
against any departure from the
basic principles which have made

Industrial Alcohol
Plants Are Included
In Liquor Holiday
Half Of August Output
To Be Added to DistiIIers
Full Production
BY the Associated Press.


Half the August output of the
country's 13 industrial alcohol
producers, in addition to the full
production of the 127 established
beverage distillers, will be de-
voted to liquor making during
the distiller's month-long "holi-
day" from war production.
The War Production Board, an
noullcing this today, said the COM
bined output would amount TO
about 10000, 900 gallons OF whisky,
gin, cordials and other hard liquors.
This was the boards tentative
estimate when 1t announced per-
mission 10 days ago for August
production Of liquor, but at that
time the beverage quota of the In
dustrial alcohol firms had not been
fixed.
WPB today dispatched kilograms
to distillers authorizing their re-
lease from war alcohol production
during August, thereby giving on
cial sanction to the program an
nounced by Chairman Donald M.
Nelson.
Registered distilleries - those
normally in the whisky business
are the only plants which will be
permitted to make whisky during
August. If they choose, they may
make neutral spirits for blended
WHISTLES.
The industrial alcohol plants which
hold permits to sell high-proof spir-
its for beverage purposes are classi-
fled separately by WPB. They may
sell their output only for blending
purposes or for the manufacture of
gin, cordials and similar liquors.
Only so per cent of their output may
be so used, because the industrial
plants were not completely engaged
in beverage production before the
war.
At the request of the War Food
Administration, WPB ruled that
neither type of distiller may use
corn, grain sorghums or molasses.
The industrial alcohol plants will be
required to apply to WPB for per-

erage use, requirement not made
