Konstantin K. RokossovsRy's lst White Russian army launched the frontal assault on Warsaw yesterday, but claimed the first attempt to cross the VlStula from Praga, War saws eastern suburb, had failed.
 The reports said the Soviet tried to cross the Quarter-mile wide Wis., tula on pontoon bridges, indicating that RokosSovsky may attempt to scale the lS0-foot cliff while under heavy fire. In view of the strong concentration of German guns on top of the cliffs on which Warsaw is perched, observers here believed Q direct frontal assault would cost the SovietS heavy casualties.
 Berlin said other Soviet forces were pushing against Naxi defenses between the Vistula and the Bug rivers, northwest of the capital,
 Moscow radio confirmed reports om heavy fighting north of War saw, and said Soviet artillery was firing point-blank ct German forces holdnig out in eight-toot thick con. crete ptupoxeS,
