More Than 3 Divisions
Trapped as Russians
Close in on Budapest
Capitol Almost EncircIed
By 15-Mile Advance to
Western City Limits
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Dec. 26.-Eight to 10
divisions of Germans and Hun
garians today were reported
trapped in Budapest-cnt off
from escape except by air or pos
sibly one road usable only by
night-as the Red Army drove
to the western city limits in a
15-mile advance.
The encirclement of the Hun
garian capital was virtually COM
pleted, and front dispatches said
Soviet guns had begun a systematic
shelling of two airports still held by
the enemy, while Stormoviks and
medium bombers few incessant
sortieS over the strife-torn capital.
The greatest panic was reported
from inside the city in full view of
Russian units which yesterday
drove to the lofty hills of Budakesz,
adjoining the city limits of Buda,
western half of the capital.
Autos Seized.
The Germans were reported to
have seized all available automo-
biles and buses and put them under
strict military command, ordering
the Hungarian drivers to stand by
with blankets and all the warm
clothing possible. This led to the
speculation that large enemy units
might try to make break for it.
The last narrow escape corridor
that appeared still open to them, on
the basis of front-line dispatches.
extended 10 miles northwest from
the capital to Esztergom, on the
southern bank Of the big Danube
bend.
The ring around the capital was
completed in all other directions
at distances ranging from less than
2 miles on the west to about 9 miles
on the east.
Today's communique also dis
closed a continuing Red Army surge
westward in Southern Czecho-
slovakia along the Hron (Garam)
River in the vicinity of Leva
Gevice) in drive along the routes
to Vienna and Bratislava, now less
than SO miles and IS miles distant
respectively.
Enemy Losses Mount.
But the war bulletin emphasized
the squeeze on Budapest, declaring
that in the last five days OF fighting
west and southwest of the capital
the Russians had killed 14OO0 Ger
man and Hungarian soldiers. CAP
tured 5,468 and destroyed or seized
vast quantities of war material. in
cluding 101 self-propelled guns, yes
terday.
Despite the possibility of an at
tempted breakout from Budapest
the impression in Moscow was that
the Germans intend to make a
stand and turn the city into a
battlefield.
There were no indications that
the Russians had yet begun to shell
anything but the airports and SUBJ
urban escape routes to the north
east, but big Soviet guns were in
position to open up devastating fire
on the defenders inside the city il
resistance keeps up much longer.
In the drive west of the Danube
the Russians moved within IL miles
of Felso Gala, principal railway
and highway junction on the path
to the Austrian frontier. Forty
communities were overrun.
The German high command ap.
peared to be attempting to set up
defense line based on the Bakany
Forest, which runs from the north.
east to the southwest, parallel with
the Austrian frontier. Here the
Nazis were piling up reserves for a
defense of Austria, rather than ar
attempted drive to relieve the be-
leaguered garrison at Budaphst.

Enormous Ordnance
Supply on Hand for
U. 5. Army in France
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star War CORRESPONDENT.


FRANCE, Aug. 9.-"Our fighting
ordnance" is all the term implies.
A fying trip to ordnance depots
IN France reveals an astounding
amount of ordnance ready for the
American drive farther into the
French interior.
The amount and diversity of ma
terrell is amazing. It includes thou
sands of captured German weapons
and vehicles, now used by the
Americans who adapted German
materiel to their own use.
! recently visited mobile tire shops
operating on an assembly line.
Trucks are being turned out to add
to the tremendous number already
available. Army ordnance is ready
to supply anything needed for the
lighting with supplies keeping
months ahead Of demand.
There is no shortage of shells, or
ammunition at any time, despite a
big beachhead storm now. There is
no possibility of stoppage Of sup
plies.
We saw unbelievable amounts of
ammunition and vehicles of all
kinds, and were tremendously i'm
pressed by the scope of operations,
in readiness to keep supplies NOV
ing to our troops. Our ordnance men
are being aided by the French.
All particulars for the trip were
arranged by Maj. Gen. Henry B.
Sayler, Army Ordnance Chief in the
European Theater of Operations,
whose home is 1909 Cathedral
avenue NV. Washington, D. C. He
Is responsible for the continuous
flow of ordnance, materiel, guns,
ammunition, and vehicles to the
fighting fronts.
Field units are equipped with all
types of maintenance facilities for
vehicles, guns and tires. These units
operate in French fields, between
the hedge rows, and move forward
as lines advance.
Base depots are packed with all
types of ordnance supplies vital to
a modern army Much German
ordnance has been earmarked for
shipment to the United States for
study. The Germans have been
using several types of rocket pro-
jectors, new in battle. The Amer
leans have captured many types of
artillery from the Germans who also
were using ordnance of other ma
tons.

PLANNING NOT NEW

SO much is heard lately about
planning that a natural assumption
would be that there had never been
any planning in the past. Success
full enterprises have always had to
plan, sometimes years in advance.
An example of the kind of planning
that keeps this country going is
that of the retail distribution in
dustry.
Right now retailers are swamp
ed with customers. bedeviled by
dwindling inventories, and subject
ed to dismaying manpower prob
lens. Even the most efficient of
them are walking a deadly cost
price tight rope that demands the
utmost concentration. Under these
conditions, merchants could be ex-
cused for abandoning planning and
'merely living from day to day. And
yet they are working constantly on
long-range plans that extend far
into the peace. Their planning is
both broad and detailed.
Large retailers, chain and inde-
pendent, in addition to considering
ways and means of placing orders
Immediately as an aid to manufac-
turers in their own postwar plan
ming. are doing everything in their
power to be ready to resume opera
tions in a free competitive market.
Knowing that courteous service in
normal times is half the battle for
existence, they are, among other
things. continuing unabated their
training of employees in courtesy to
the public. They know, as the Mans
field, Ohio. News Journal observes.
that: when the war has been end
ed in victory. and when production
VI COuohiiCt SOOuo udo DSSu ISSlOT-
ed to normal, retail stores will
again be in a competitive situation
in which their most valued asset
will be their customer list, and the
important item of good will is one
that should be- closely guarded,
even under present handicaps."
Intelligent planning is and al
ways has been an essential part of
the competitive system: the same
system that has given this country
unprecedented comforts in peace
and the tools of-victory in war. Re-
tail distribution planning. like that
of all other industry. is currently I
based on the belief that this system
will continue after the war.
