Bombs FoII On London ArmisticeDo

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 London, Nov. 11-(UP) = The Germans looSed an Armistice Day barrage of Robot bombs against London and Southern England ear 1y today, but censorship prevents disclosure whether they included any of the huge new Va rockets.
 Night fighters, anti-aircraft guns and even gunner aboard a north sea trawler destroyed many V-1 jet propelled robots before they could dive to earth, but some got through and crashed in scattered areas.
 Coastal watchers reported great, fiery glows and loud explosions frora the sea, touching off specula- tion that some of the planes from which the Germans have been launching V-1 recently also had been shot down.
 Many pieces of the explosive VIZ rockets which have hurtled down on Southern England from an altitude of 60 to 70 miles in the past few weeks have been recovered. From these, experts may be able to piece together composite rocket and de- wise countermeaSureS.
 The official German DINE Agen- cy said the Nazi command still was experimenting with Va to get the proper range for London, Paris and Antwerp.
 .'What this is going to mean for Antwerp once the right range has been found and salvoes of V-2 in quick succession hit the center of the widely spread harbor is easy to imagine" the agency said.
 The Germans said yesterday that some V-1 and V-2 bombs already have been directed against Antwerp, which the Allies have designated as their main supply port for the final offensive against Germany.
 Eye witness stories of V-2 attacks were pouring in from southern Eng land.
 Mrs. B. Sturgess, who was in 8 house 30 yards from where one rocket fell, said she thought the lend of the world" had come.
 A bakery proprietor was having tea with his wife and an employe in their shop after closing hours when a rocket suddenly collapsed the building. The employe was kill ed instantly. but the proprietor and his wife sitting across the table from her were only cut.
 Ernest Butler was blown out of a fruit tree he was pruning by an- other rocket. His trousers were yanked of by the blast, but he was injured only slightly.

CLOSE
 ON OUTSKIRTS OF BUDAPEST
BY HENRY SHAPIRO United Press War COrrespOndent)

NOAAVCU 4ACoS WoH NVAACSPVAAASAAC
 Moscow, November II. = (UP) The Red Army frightened it's grip on the out skirts of Budapest today and stepped up an already heavy artillery bombardment on the East Prussian front.
 Dispatches from all parts of the front said the Russians were massing men and ma chimes for a full fledged gen. eral offensive expected as soon as the gronud freezes hard enough for the move ment of heavy tanks and guns.
 Field reports from Hungary said individudal Soviet units had thrust across the Danube directly below Budapest. When a firm bridgehead is established, the dispatches said, flanking drive around the capital can be expected. At least four Ger man Panzer divisions were reported ready to oppose any frontal assault on Budapest.
 A communique also disclosed that southern Soviet forces were contin- uing their westward drive against Budapest after severing the main rail supply line between enemy troops in northeastern Hungary and those defending the Nazi satel- lite capital.
 The artillery bombardment in East Prussia was concentrated mostly on German gun positions, several of which were destroyed, apparently in an effort to clear path for the armored forces of Gen. Ivan D. Cherniakhovsky's Srd White Russian Army.
 While the communique did not give the location of the shelling, Cherniakhovsky was reported to have tremendous artillery forces, as much as 300 guns to 8 mile, along the entire 95-mile front straddling the main railway to Konigsberg, capital of East Prussia.
 Soviet patrols were increasingly active on the East Prussian front. One unit in a sharp engagement killed about 200 Germans and took a number of prisoners.
 The official disclosure of the ar tillery and mortar fire in Naz pro vince followed shortly after mili- tary dispatches reported that the lull had ended on both the East Prussian and Latvian fronts, where 30 German divisions were pinned in a coastal pocket. The commun-

Suicide Is
 Called Killer

Salem, Mass, Nov. l. (UP) -- Authorities sought today to attri- bute second seX-Slaying to an illiterate World War II veteran who committed suicide as police were about to seize him for the rape murder of 14-year-old Marie Rose Lacombe of Salem Sunday night.
 The murderer, Wilfred J. Marquis 20, of Salem, was found Sprawled in bed in lodging house yeSter- day with tube from an open gas jet clenched in his teeth.
 Marquis, recently released from an Illinois jail after serving a sentence for an automobile theft, had sought vainly to elude police who had trailed him since the girls body was found Wednesday near the Salem High school athletic field where she had kept her first date.
 The police search for Marquis had been started as result of cir cumstantial evidence submitted to authorities by his father and sis ter.
 Scene of the crime was perhaps two miles from the brushy thicket where beautiful Miss Frances Coch- ran, 19, Lynn was raped and beat en to death in July 1941, and Dist Atty. Hugh A. Gregg said:
 We are still working on the possibility that Marquis may have been connected with the Cochran girl staying"
 Marquis, a ne-er-do-well who rarely worked, was living in Salem at that time, Gregg said.
 Gregg said that the death of Marquis, honorably discharged for medical disability by the Army May 2, 1943, definitely closes our in- vestigation of the Lacombe) girls murder
 Reconstructing the crime, Gregg said that Miss Lacombe apparently met Marquis for the first time while attending a movie matinee in Salem Sunday. She appeared to have made date with him for that night her first date-and met him in Town House Square between 8 and D. m. Friends saw her there with g youth answering Marquis descrip- tion.
 From Town House Square, tht couple apparently went to Bertram Field where the comedy and mature. appearing high school sophomore

 Big Ovation
(NEA Telephoto)

Paris, Nov. 11-UP)-Prime Min ister Winston Churchill, in Paris for the first time in five years, received one of the most tumultuouS well comes of his career today when at least 100000 persons cheered his participation in Armistice Day cele- brationS.
 Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden flew to Paris yester- day, but rigid security regulations held up the announcement of their arrival until today.
 The British Prime Minister stood with Gen. Charles De Gaulle this morning during the Armistice Day wreathing of the French unknown soldiers tomb. Then they walked slowly down half a mile of the thronged, beflagged Champs Elysees to the saluting stand for the big parade.
 Despite the best efforts of Allied military and civilian police, part of the crowd broke away out of control. A solid mass of humanity surged around Churchill and De Gaulle, cheering wildly and shouting "Vive Churchill" and 'Vive De Gaulle."
 Beaming and f1ourishing his cigar, repeatedly waved the cap of the RAF Air Commodore's uniform he wore. De Gaulles usually stern face re- faxed and he, too saluted the crowd with clockwork regularity.
 Stand For Hour
 Eden joined Churchill and De Gaulle at the reviewing stand. To- gether they stood for more than an hour, surrounded by cabinet mem- bers and foreign diplomats and talk ing the salute during parade of some 5000 American, British and

Plain Fare At White House
By EULALIE MCDOWELL United Press Stan Correspondent

 United Press Stan Correspondent Washington, Nov. Il = W.P0 - The wartime social austerity now prevailing at the White House will not be relaxed for diplomats and officials who will crowd Washington next January 20 to attend the fourth inauguration of President Roose- welt.
 The First Lady has served notice that the frills will be missing.
 Thousands of plain and fancy citi- zens who will trek to 1900 Pennsyl- vania avenue to pump the hand of the President at the traditional afternoon reception may even go hungry.
 If food is too scarce or if the ra- tion points don't go far enough we'll do without refreshments" " Mrs. Roosevelt declared yesterday on her return to the White House from Hyde Park.
 Observers who have attended White House social functions since the war started believed, however, that Mrs. Roosevelt would manage to have refreshments. Wartime tea parties there have shown little, If any, evidence of scarce red points.
 Reception callers have, regardless of the menu, been promisd the use of the Monroe Silver, which dates from President Monroe'S admins tration, the best of the Roosevelt

BY J. EDWARD MURRAY United Press War COrrespOndent)


 Paris, November II. - (UP) = It. Gen. George s. Patton swung his entire front below Metz northeast toward the German border today and two columns leaped ahead to within 25 miles of the frontier baStion of Saar- brucken.
 Berlin said the first arm ored battle of the four-day- old offensive had broken out near Delme, IT miles south east of Metz, with an esti- mated 400 to 500 tanks par ticipating, but this was not confirmed by any Allied source.
 Another German broadcast said the soil of Lorraine was trembling under the thunder of countless heavy guns. Patton has thrown a sixth armored division into action and now was trying to break through south of Metz with 600 tanks, the broadcast said. It added that Ger man reserves had been brought up to the front.
 Tightening their siege arc around Metz, troops of the 5th infantry di- vision seized Silly, seven miles southeaest, and Buchy, nine miles south.
 Another 826 prisoners were cap- tured by the 3rd army yesterday by the 3rd army along its jagged 87- mile front from the Luxembourg border to the Rhine-Marne Canal, bringing the total for the offensive to 2,400.
 North of Metz, Patton'S forces in the KoenigSmacher area repulsed a minor enemy counter attack and widened and deepened their new bridgehead across the MoSelle river within two and half miles of the German frontier.
 It. Gene. Courtney H. Hodges American 1st army punched out small new advances in the rain- soaked Hurtgen Forest area south- eaest of Aachen after repulsing an- other enemy counter-attack. Many mines were being encountered.

 SHAN GHAI
 ALSO BOMBED

BY FRED SCHERFF
 United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, November II. = (UP) = American Super fOrtresses attacked Ranking, puppet capital of occupied China, for the first time to- day and by Tokyo account bombed the Shanghai area and southwest Japan proper.
 A series of Tokyo broad casts following the Washing ton announcement of the Ranking raid indicated that several forces of B29's were in action over Japan and Japanese-held territory in perhaps the most extensive operations so far by the Su- perfOrtresses.
 The Japanese reported that several Superfort- resses in "wave-type forma- tions" dropped bombs at a number of points on the out skirts of Shanghai, and that 30 of the B29's bombed western Kyushu, southern most of the Japanese home islands, and Saishu Island 175 miles to the west.
 Etill another Tokyo broadcast re- ported that planes of an unspecif1ed type flew over "the Sanyo area of Japan" apparently on reconna1s- sance. The Sanyo area includes the southeast coastal region of the main home island of Honshu, in which the cities of Kobe and Kure are sit- uated.
 Domei, in broadcast dispatch re- corded by the EGG, quoted an army navy press release in Shanghai as reporting the attack on that city. It said the Superfortresses hit about $50 a. m. (7:50 p. m. Friday EWI), an hour and 10 minutes before the reported 10 a. m. attack on Kyushu and Saishu.
 The Japanese attached the cus- tomary claim that air raid defense units ''repulsed'' the bomberS over Shanghai and said extremely neg ligible losseS'' were suffered.
 A Japanse communique reporting the Kyushu and Saishu attacks said the raiders fled after blindly drop ping bombs from above the clouds. Damage caused to our side was slight" The Sasebo naval base and industrial centers of Nagasaki and Omuta are on western Kyushu.

A 1945 grand list of approxi- mately $190 million has been set for Waterbury it was reported today, an increase over the estimated list Of 1914 of $189, 100000.
 The new list has been submitted to city authorities but has not yet been revealed as to actual estimate. It was reliably disclosed however, that it is an increase over last year
 Such increase will aid toward keeping a standard tax rate of 30 mills and will result in the ability to compute heavier expenditures for the 1945 city budget.
