Z RED ARMIES
 FIGHT FORWARD IN TWIN DRIVE
BY ROBERT MUSEL United Press War Correspondent)

London, December 1. = (UP) = Two powerful Red Armies battled through widening breaches in the Herman defenses at both ends of a 250-mile Hungar- ian front today in twin drives that carried within 100 miles or less of Austrian soil in the south and broadened the Soviet hold on the vital Tar now-Budapest railroad in the north.
 The biggest Soviet gains were marked up in the south where armored spearheads of Marshal Feodor I. Tolbuk- hin's Third Ukrainian Army fought westward beyond cap tured Pecs toward Lake Bala- ton and the Austrian iron tier, and north along the Danube barely 5 miles below Budapest.
 Berlin admitted the Germans ana their Hungarian allies were reellng back under the pi1e-driver Russian blows and asserted that TolbuKhln had thrown upwards of a quarter million men into the swaying battle.
 Almost 4,O00 Axis troops were killed or captured yesterday on the Pecs front and in the north where Marshal Rodion Y. Malnovsky' $ second Ukrainian Army took Eger and Szikszo, 59 and 88 miles north east of Budapest, and all but en- circled the companion stronghold of Miskolc.
 Tolbikhin's troops overran more than 50 towns and villages and expanded their bridgehead on the west bank of the Danube to 104 miles against stubborn resistence' The main direction of the Russian drive still was carefully masked, however, and the Germans ob- viously were uncertain whether the Soviet commander intended to strike out for Austria or wheel ms forces northward to join Malinovsky in the assault on Budapest.
 The Russian early morning com munique made no direct mention or new advances west of Pecs. but reported a hve-mile gain south ot

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Pittsfield, Mass. Dec. 1.-(UPl- In a second move for a new trial, Atyt. John F. Noxon, Jr.. appeared in superior court here today to try to prove prejudice on the part of two of the jurors who doomed him to the electric chair for the electro cution of his mentally deficient six-month old son.
 Judge Abraham E. P1nanski, who recently denied a similar new trial motion, also was to preside at the hearing on the latest appeal in be- half of the wealthy, 48-year old Pittsfield lawyer.
