In Onslaught

MOSCOW, April 4. (UP)
Soviet tanks and motoriz-
ed infantry rolled across the
Rumanian plains dozen miles be-
yond the Bessarabian border Tues
day, relentlessly widening and
deepening their bridgehead across
the Prut against disorganized ene-
my resistance.
Radio London reported that Red
army forces were more than Is
miles inside Rumania, encircling
German garrisons and wiping them
out.
SWEEP 50 TOWNS
More than so Rumanian towns
and villages were swept up by Mar
shall Ivan S. Konevs End Ukrain-
ian army in it's first thrusts across
the Prut river border along a TO-
mile front curving to within eight
miles of Iasi, strategic railway
junction that formerly served as
headquarters for German Marshal
Fritz Erick Won Mannstein.
The Soviets alreaCy had cut the
Iasi-Dorokhoi railway, forcing the
Germans to fall back 30 miles to
the Bucharest Cernauti line for
another north-south supply line.
Northwest of the Rumanian front
Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's 1st
Ukrainian army waged battle oi
annihilatiOn against Is encircleo
German divisions-normally 193,00t
men-near Skala, 38 miles north
east of Cernauti. and drove tG
within 20 miles of the southeastern
corner of the 1899 Bug river de-
marcation line across Poland.
KILL 5000 NAZIS
The Russians killed 5000 Ger
mans and captured 1900 others
Monday in the Skala pocket, reduc-
ing it to approximately 800 square
miles. The seven trapped infantry
seven tank, and one mechanical
divisions were reported attempting
desperately to break out of encir-
clement, but instead we're being
split up into isolated groups for
easy destruction by tank forma-
tiOnS.
Rather than risk having their
heavy equipment fall into Soviet
hands, the Germans were applying
the torch to their tanks, guns, and
trucks. At least 1000 burned trucks
were found in one area, while 40
tanks were blown up in another.

Allied Planes Crush
Foe in Fighting
For Holds in India

NEW DELHI, April a..
(UP) e d warplanes
have blasted japanese inva-
sion forces moving across the Bur-
ma frontier into India, a commu-
nique disclosed Tuesday, bombing
and strafing armored columns and
headquarters command posts.
The blazing aerial attack, appar-
emily intended to smash the Japa-
nese rear lines and disrupt the flow
of tanks and reinforcements into
India, swept over a wide area from
the Chin Hills up through the
Chindwin river gorgeS and deep
into northwest Burma.
Formations of dive-bomber, fight
er-bombers, and fighters struck re-
peatedly at enemy positions Sun
day and Monday, raking the Japa-
nese with bombs and cannon fire.
japanese tank columns, motor
transport, headquarters buildings
and "other targets" came under
the allied aerial bombardment, and
the communique revealed that one
tank was destroyed, two others
were tamaged and six more suf-
fered hits in the Tamu area.
A very successful" dive-bombing
attack also was carried out on a
japanese headquarters at Myothit,
the communique said.
The communlque reported that
ground fighting had subsidized on
the entire Chin Hills front SOUTH
cast of Imphal, capital of India's
Manipur state and one of the main
objectives of the japanese invasion
forces. There was no new word,
however, on the progress of fight
ing farther north in the Somra
Hills and the lower Naga Hills,
where several enemy columns had
driven to within striking distance
of Kohima and had cut the Imphal
-Kohima highway at least tenn
porarily.
On the central Burma front,
American and Chinese troops were
reported continuing their steady
advance southwark through the
Mogaung valley and inflicting heavy
casualties on the retreating Japa-
neSe.
Indicating the speed of the ad-
vance, the comnuniquc said. "is the
fact that the, enemy is abandoning
his dead in pillboxes."

Allied Bombers
Renew Attack
Around Budapest

LONDON, April 4. CAPITALIZED
air forces launching a day and night
bombardment of Budapest as the
Red army massed before the Hun
garian frontier, attacked the city
for the second time within a few
hours Monday night, kindling at
least five big fires in the capital.
The National Broadcasting COM
pany reported from London that a
desperate attempt by the Germans
to strip Rumania of oil and food
and transport it through Hungary
to Germany had taken all water and
rail lines around Budapest, account
ing for the Allied bombings.
STRIKE AT NIGHT
Allied headquarters at Naples re-
vealed Tuesday that Liberators and
British Wellingtons struck in some
force at Budapest by night after
American heavy bombers had given
the city its first major assault of
the war.
Radio Budapest also reported at
tacks on five other Hungarian
towns, and said there was danger
from mines in the evident
ly Sowed by Allied planes-necesSi-
tating suspension of traffic in at
least one section of that vital water
line to the Balkans.
The primary target of the Liberia
tor-Wellington night attack on
Budapest was the Manfred Weis
steel works and armament factory.
Flying Fortresses and Liberators
striking by daylight had delivered
the main weight of the bombs on
the Budapest rail yards and a near
by aircraft factory.
SET LARGE FIRES
A Stockholm report of doubtful
origin said the daylight bombers
started large fires in many parts
of the city. and estimated that
thousands" were killed.
An Italian headquarters COM
munique said 26 German planes
were destroyed Monday. and sup
Elementary advices credited "a of
them to the daylight raiders over
Hungary.
The Mediterranean air forces flew
more than 1000 sorties Monday, the
communique said, including the
Hungarian operation, attacks on a
number of transport targets in
Jugoslavia, and the bombing of
German concentrations behind the
italian battle lines.

Frank Knox announced Tuesday.
In the first official report on the
Palau operation since the March
80 announcement that it had start
ed, Knox said American ships and
planes also sank three enemy ships
found near the three anchorages.
He expressed skepticism over Jap
anese claims that they sank two
U. S. cruisers. damaged two battle
ships and a carrier, and shot down
more than 80 U. S. planes.
MANILA HAS ALERT
A curious aspect" of the battle,
which lasted from it's inception on
March % to April /, Knox said,
was that Manila had a brief air
raid alarm. Knox did not know,
however, whether any American
planes attacked the Philippine cap
ital.
Knox also disclosed that navy
and marine corps gunners have shot
4,3l6 japanese planes out of the
air since Pearl Harbor at a loss Of
921 of their own planes. The figure
Of enemy losses. Knox said includ-
ed only those shot down in combat
or by antiaircraft fire and not those
destroyed on the ground or aboard
carriers.
DISTANCES CITED
Knox said he had received no
information as to how many ene-
my ships were caught and destroyed
at the three islands by the strong
U. S. force. Woleai is about midway
between Palau and bomb blasted
Truk, and Yap is $50 miles north
east of Palau. Palau is 1865 miles
west of Truk.
Knox's announcement added point
to Japan's brief admission that "our
side suffered some damage" in the
battle led by American aircraft
carriers.
First reports Indicated that A.
merican air losses were II bombers,
eight torpedo bombers and eight
fighters. Knox said.
All enemy ships present at an
chorage" were sunk or damaged, he
said. and in addition one ship was
sunk near Palau and two near
Woleai. The ships sunk near Palau
and Woleai indicated that the u.
S. force may have caught some Of

reported last week had fled after
