Eight to 10 divisions of Germans

trapped in Budapest today-cut

or possibly one road disable only
by night as the Red Army
drove to the Western City limits

ports still held by the enemy,
while stormoviks and medium

over the strife-torn capital.
The Germans were reported
to have grabbed all available
automobiles and buses and put
them under strict military COM
mand, ordering the Hungarian
drivers to stand by with blank
cts and all the warm clothing
possible. This led TO the specu-
lation that large enemy units
might try to make a break for it.

lungs contained sufficient water
to indicate drowning. He said

Detective Lieutenant William
GroSch reported the woman was
wearing a ring engraved with
the initials l. F., and that $500

brought several telephone calls,
police said, from persons who
thought they could identify her,
but none of the callers appeared
to view the body.
The body, upright in a tub
containing about six inches of
water, was found in a room
which had been occupied by a

Explosives
Discovered in
Hotel Sewer
Greek Terrorists
BIomed for Grim
Athens Incident

ATHENS, Dec. 26 - UR) -
Nearly a ton of dynamite was
found cached in a sewer direct
~ before the Great Britain Ho-
tel, British and Greek govern
ment headquarters, today only
a few hours before Prime Min
lister Churchill was to conVoke
a peace conference with Elias and
Greek government leaders.
British sources believed the
explosives had been planted by
LeftWing Elias forces in an at
tempt to destroy the hotel and,
with it, Churchill, British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden,
1t. Gen. Ronald Scobie, British
commander in A t h n s, and
Greek government officials.
It was learned that the ex-
plosives were placed in the sew
er, which extends beneath the
hotel, during the night some
time after the arrival of Church
ill and Eden in Athens had been
announced.
Gen. Sir Ronald SCobie, Brit
ish commander in Athens, issued
the invitation to Elias in reply to
an inconclusive note from Elias
seeking to haggle over terms by
which Elias troops would lay
down their arms.
Scobie's message suggested
that the Elias send three or four
delegates "as they may prefer"
Fewer than 20 Greek politicians
altogether were expected TO at
tend, including Premier George
Papandreou and ThemistocleS
Sophoulis, IS = year old elder
statesman and Liberal Party
leader.
British troops, meantime, were
continuing their steady mop7up
of eastern Athens and advancing
up the Piraeus-Athens road to
within 800 yards of Omonoias
Square. A small British pocket
which had been cut of from
headquarters for several days
was rescued.
British Beaufighters dived out
of a leaden sky to hurl rockets,
bombs and cannon shells into
Elias targets in eastern Athens.
