MOSCOW, Jan. 9 The Red Army, driving swiftly through heavily fortified areas in Germany, broke through the first defense line, east of the Oder River in Silesia, while in East Prussia, Russian troops reached positions 52 miles from the Baltic in 2 drive to cut off that province from the rest of the Reich.
 Pushing northward from captured Tannenberg, Krokossovsky's tanks approached within 10 or II miles of the main trunk railway con- meeting East Prussia with Berlin. His big guns have already begun shelling railway approaches ill several sectors
 Tank Battle Raging
 In the center of the great Soviet winter front in Poland, zhukov's First White Russian Army is get ting the upper hand in big tank battle raging between the Warta and Prosna Rivers and has pushed to within 200 miles of Berlin. zhukov is fighting for routes into Poznan and the German frontier is just beyond.
 His tanks, by striking through strong Panzer units, moved out to halt him, have gotten closer to the German capital than any land army in this war The Germans are fighting back furiously in this area, field dispatches said. But Zhukov is still on the move and there are no indications that his offensive is materially slowing down.
 Streatgic Successes
 The First Ukranian Army, under Konev, achieved a great strategic success in breaking the first line thrown up by the Germans east of the Oder River. It stretches through Oels, Mamslau and Kreutz- berg down to Beuthen. Konev's tanks are now about IA miles from the main railway connection between Silesia and Berlin.
 Russian columns, pushing to within 35 miles of Breslau, are re- ported to have caused a great panic in the entire area.

nor of Kansas.
THE secret of his hold on Kan
sas," said Mr.. Hope, lis his great

pathy for the underdog."

friends here and flowers from his
sister, Mrs. A. L. Eystice of Evan

PARIS, July 14.-There was gayety
In Paris as the capital celebrated
Bastille Day today-but only is
lands of gayety in a sober city.
Despite fireworks, water festivals,
military reviews, parades, snake
dancing in the boulevards and street
dancing in the squares, most Pa
risians agreed that the celebration
wasn't the same"
1.-THE people are serious" a
Frenchman said. Its all very we'll
to show them a military spectacle,
but they're still worried about food -
The crowds watched a parade by
the left-wing "Etats Generaux" in
silence, and although there were
cheers for Gen. de Gaulle in a
military parade earlier, handicap
plng' was more general than shouts.
It was the first Bastille Day cele-
bration since 1899.
