In Carpathians
MOSCOW, May 2. (UP)—Soviet front dispatches said Tuesday that the Red army is advancing slowly but steadily in dogged fighting through the Carpathian foothills on a broad front from the Czechoslovak border town in Romania.
Dispatches said Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's first army of the Ukraine was pushing the Germans back despite the fact that the Nazis had moved up fresh reserves, tanks, and self-propelled guns in an effort to stabilize their positions.
The fighting on the southern front was marked by frequent German counterthrusts, front reports said, which generally were blunted so effectively that the Russians were able to forge ahead after dealing with them.
The Soviet aerial campaign included the softening up of German strong points in the Stanislawow region of prewar Poland and around Brest Litovsk, east of Warsaw, preparatory to the next phases of Red army operations.
