'Tolly to Delay
Diplomatic quarters attached
considerable significance in this
cdnnection to a statement by Sir
Alexander Cadogan, the British
delegation chief, at the opening
session of the security talks. Em
phasizing that "peace may come
sdoner than some expect," he declared:-
."

construction of at least some
framework of future internation
al cooperation until the problems
of peace confront us with all

serves on the west bank of the
river. ;
- The forcing of the Bug. which
flows into the Vistula 28 miles
above Warsaw, posed a threat
to cross the larger river. Mar
shal Konstantin Rokossovsky's
regrouped and reinforced group
of armies pushed two Russian
columns toward the confluence
of the streams. He pushed ahead
against furious German coun
terattacks from 50 recaptured
villages in what appeared to be
the most serious threat to War
saw in nearly two weeks.
Strong Support - ,
Nazi r'couhterattacks were re
ported strongly .supported by
their air force, by largo concen
trations of artillery and by
groups of 100 to 120 tanks
which came in "wave after
wave, 10 or 12 times a day,"
Izvestia said.
Another and growing threat
to Warsaw was in the Sando
mierz region across the Vistula
100 to 110 miles southeast. The
survival of only 1550 prisoners,
with the final killing of 12,000
in the Sandomierz trap where
three divisions were encircled,
was considered confirmation of
the great-shrinkage in .Hitler's
divisions.
- (The German communique
said strong Russian tank and
infantry forces were on the of
fensive in Romania, attacking
southeast of Tiraspol and be
tween the Prut and Screth rivers).

tho tune of the seizures, nan
actually taken parts of tho pro
visional capital and were arrest
ing collaborationists.
Destination Unknown
The swift reported action of
the gcstnpo seemed an indica
tion that the Germans placed no
trust in the marshal.
Petain was arrested so swift
ly he was not. given time to
shave and taken to an unknown
destination.
(A Swiss radio broadcast said
Petain "was able to write a short
letter of farewell, copies of
which are circulating In France."
The broadcast, recorded by OWl.

"most reliable quarters. )

ernmental prerogatives.
The German-controlled Vichy
radio said the Vichy government

site, which was not identified.
French frontier reports said 20,
000 to 30,000 German troops
were moving northward from
southern and central France
