1TANK RUSH.
ZHUKOV'S ARMOUR
Cutting Nazi Communications.
LONDON, March 31.--"Marshal
Zhukov has at last extricated his
tanks from the Ukraine mud and
they are now storming at high speed
and in big strength up good roads
in the Carpathian foothills," reports
Reuters Moscow correspondent.
"These tanks surpised the garA
son at Kolomyja and are now re
ported to be nearing the Galician
ol town of Stanislawow, which con
trols another road over the Car-,
pathians.
"Red Army tanks are already
across the Prut River in large num
bes. -One tank unit which entered
Cernauti outfought the Germans last
July at Byelgdrod,
"Marshal Zhukov's drive is taking
him at -right-angles, across roads
leading to the Carpathians., thereby
cutting one by one the Gennans'
communications between their bases
in Hungary and their forces at Lwow.
"Marshal Zhukov's advances have
been so swift that there has been
no time to lay telephone lines. The
Red Arlmy is communicating with its
advanced forces by radio.
"The Russians have taken prisoner
many Hungarians, who appear will
ing prisoners. Groups of them walk
back without escort to assembly
points at the Dnlester.
"Marshals Zhukov and Kontev now
faontly hold the whole DIaester bank
between Kamanets Podolak and Mo
bilev, meaning that the Proskurov
pocket has been finally sealed off
leaving no retreat for the Germans."
