Russians Seize
Danube Isle
Near Budapest

LONDON, Nov. 8. (UP) - Radio
Budapest said Wednesday that So
Wet troops, outflanking the Hun
garian capital from the south, had
landed on a small island in the
middle of the Danube river four
miles away.
Fighting is going on not far
frcm Budapest" the broadcast said,
adding that Soviet artillery and
anti-aircraft guns already were fir
ing from DunaharaSzti, suburban
town on the east bank of the Dan
ube also within four miles of the
capital.
The Hungarian broadcast gave no
details of the landing on the mid
Danube island, but said the attack
apparently was designed to build
up a base for an assault on 30
mile-long Csepel island, an indus
trial center between the eastern and
western arms CT the Danube below
Budapest.
1t said 'mopping up" operations
were in progress against the land
ing force.
Berlin reported .the Red army
had launched strong assault
against the l40-mile German de-
fense line along the Tisza river
northeast of Budapest and had
seized two bridgeheads on the west
bank, posing new threat against
the satellite capital.
The Soviet high command for the
second straight day made no men
tion of the fighting around Buda-
pest in its communicates. 1t was
believed Marshall Rodion Y. Malin-
ovsky was regrouping his Second
Ukranian army for the final assault
on the city.

DECISIVE CAMPAIGN
The battle of the Philippines al

decisive campaign fought in the
Pacific since the United States re-
gained the initiative.
On Leyte, some $50 miles south
of Manila, General Douglas Mac

finally joined battle with elements
of four japanese divisions in what
probably will prove the final and
