GAINED AS YET BY EITHER SIDE
In Nazi-Soviet Conflict BOTH PARTIES CLAIM SOME SUCCESSES CLASH OF MAIN FORCES STILL TO COME (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, June 24. According to the latest reports, neither Germany nor Russia has gained a definite advantage thus far, but both sides claim seme successes. The German News Agency said: “After hard fighting, we have broken through a strong line of Soviet pillboxes on the centre of the Eastern front. We repelled an attempt by the Soviet Air Force to enter East Prussia. It is stated in Berlin, however, that the Germans have not yet met the main forces of the Russian Army and that the fighting fronts would have to be extended and a greater number cf men thrown into the battle. The Moscow radio stated: “The enemy’s attacks are being successfully repulsed. We congratulate the Red Army on its first successes. ’ ’ A curious Russian-German radio battle is also going on. An Ankara report says the Soviet has effectively jammed all German broadcasts. It is understood that the Soviet prepared and is operating 150 wireless stations for this purpose. According to an American report, Russia and the Polish Government have reached an agreement to restore Poland within the limits of the Treaty of Riga. All Poles imprisoned by the Russians—believed to number many thousands—will be released to fight on the side of the Russians. A message received in Stockholm from Helsinki says the whole of Tallin is aflame after a German air raid. A Berlin news agency claims that the Slovak army has crossed the Slovak frontiers to link up with the German troops and fight against the Soviet. The London “Evening News” says the British missions to Russia are leaving almost immediately, including representatives of the three fighting Services, technicians, financial and industrial experts. The “Daily Sketch” reports that Britain and Russia are arranging a joint bombing plan which will give the R.A.F. and the Russian Air Force their own spheres in order to avoid overlapping. . The plan provides for the systematic bombing cf German industries from the west and from the east.
