Fast-Moving Soviets Close mmmw

By RUSSEL LANDSTROM LONDON, July 2 -— (AP) —The 200.000 German defenders of Minsk were being clamped 1n a steel vise today as lightning columns of the Red Army snapped the two main escape railways leadim to Poland and pressed to within 12 1-2 miles northeast of this last enemy bas- tion in White Russia, Moscow disclosed tonight.

One column seized Krasnoe, just across the border in Poland, sever- ing the railwav from Minsk north- west to Wilno. '

Another struck far to the south and cut the other big line run- ning from Minsk to Brest-Litovsk st Stolpce, Poland. 45 miles-south- west, and captured Nsieswiez. only 25 miles northwest of the railway junction of Bsronowlcze.

No reliable roads lead due west out of Minsk and so once again it appeared that the Russian Gen- erals wcro in a position to chew‘ up important chunks of the Ger- man armies of the east.

Premier-Marshal Stalin in ders of the day sent his song ulatlons to Gen. Ivan D. Chem hovsky, whose troops cut the rail- way on the northwest. and Mar- shal Konstantln- If. Rokossovsliy. who struck from the southwest.

Among the prisoners taken at captured Bobruisk, it was disclos- ed Saturday. was Maj-Gen. Ga- "rnan. at one time the miiilary commander of Orel and called b_v the Russians "Hangman Gaman" for his "mass murder of innocent civilians."

The surge of the Red Armies was covered by waves of soviet planes, which bombed troop con- centrations and supply centres be- hind the German lines. Mass raids were made against Minsk. Polotsk, Baranowicze and other cities, causing large explosions and fires.

ON FINNISH FRONT

On the Finnish front in the Karclian Isthmus area the Red Army reported consistent progress. The Soviets said that in addition ,to the liberation of the Murmansk- Leningrad railway in the north, the Russians have freed the White Sea-Baltic Canal. a 141-mile \vat-. erwuy which will cut the time’. from Leningrad to Archangcll from 1'1 days to six, reducing the sea voyage from 2,040 to 647 nau- tical miles.

"This does not mean that com- plete cnoitulatlon is demanded o1’ Finland." the article added. "Such, rumors have no foundation. These rumors are circulated by the Ger- mans to fnrcc the Finns to con- tinue the war."
