FRONTIER GUARDS
HEROISM OF RUSSIANS EXTOLLED ENEMY ADVANCE RESISTED INCH BY INCH. DESTRUCTION OF GERMAN PLANES. . (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LONDON, June 24. The heroism of Soviet frontier guards is extolled in the first detailed accounts from war correspondents. The “Pravda” says that, fighting hand to hand,'the guards permitted the enemy to advance inch by inch and then only over their dead bodies. Soviet fighter planes and anti-air-craft guns, which destroyed 127 enemy planes in the first two days’ fighting, act under the slogan: ■'Clear the air or perish on the ground.”
