 The Allied tactical air forces, spearheaded by the U. s. Ninth Air Forces dive bomber squadrons, con- tinued their punishing attacks up and down the Ardennes Pocket yeS- terday while the heavies and medi- usms pounded again at the enemy's rear communications lines.
 More than 20 towns and villages in the battle area were bombed and strafed, and the raiders destroyed 129 German tanks and armored cars and 651 transport vehicles, with an- other 57 armored units and 183 transports listed as damaged.
 One dive-bombing formation blew up 25 enemy tank cars in the Stave- lot area, destroying an estimated 25 1000 gallons of gasoline badly needed by Rundstedt's mechanized armies.

 The bloody battle for the city appeared to be entering the anni- hilation stage as converging Rus sian columns from the north, west and south lanced into the center of Buda, the main section on the west bank of the Danube.
 Thousands of Hungarians and Nazi Elite guards stil were battl- ing savagely from house to house early today, dynamiting and burn- ing big sections of the city as they fell back in to narrowing pocket on the river bank. Later reports in- dicated the six big bridges across the Danube had not been destroyed by nightfall yesterday, suggesting that the Nazis still hoped to fall back across the river into Pest.
 One Soviet spearhead pushed ur across the southwestern city limits through the Kelenfoeld district and was believed to have reached the Vasuti railway bridge and the Franz Josef span 1 IA miles farther to the north. At the latter point, the Rus sianS wre little more than mile from the Royal Palace.
 Trap Completed
 Two other tank and infantry formations cut through the enemy barricades in the western districts of Zugliget and Lipotmezo. about the same distance from downtown Buda. A third wing that reached the Danube on a five mile front just north of the capital struck down across the city limits to complete | the trap.
 Meanwhile, Marshal Rodion Y Malinovskys Second Ukrainiar Army on the opposite side of the Danube resumed the frontal assault on Pest and advanced as much as three miles through maze o1 trenches and minefields to capture Csomor, three miles to the north. east, and Maglod, Ecser and Vecse 4 1-2 to six miles southeast.

I diately for the Chicago plant only. The next step was to go into court for arguments on the petition be- fore Judge Sullivan.
 The seizure of the Chicago plant took place about four hours after members of the United Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Workers Union (CIO) went on strike, affecting more than 5000 eln- ployeS.
 Immediatly after the government took over pickets who had been marching outside the plant dis persed, and union leaders said the strike was called off.
 The strike started about an hour after government attorneys ended an all-night conference during which they reportedly prepared a 32-page complaint against the firm asking for a declaratory release of the property to the government and an injunction restraining the firm from interfering with government operation.
 The complaint, it was understood will be filed in federal court follow ing seizure of the properties.
 Major General Joseph w. Byron, of the Army Service Forces was in Chicago ready to take over the plant and operate it for the government.
 The government attorneys headed by Hugh Cox, assistant U. s. solici- tor general, arrNed yesterday. pre- sumably with a presidential order to seize the firm.

 Six Demands
 A few minutes later, however, the meeting broke up in furry of in- vectives touched off by the demands of ELIAS delegates for:
 1. Forty to 50 per cent represen- tation in the new government.
 2. The ministries of interior and justice and undersecretaryships of war and foreign affairs to be filled by Leftists.
 3. Dissolution of the gendar- merle and the sending home of its members.
 4. Dissolution of the mountain brigade, sacred battalion and newly formed National Guard battalion of the Greek army.
 5. A plesiscite on the monarchy to be held the first Sunday in Feb ruary.
 6. Elections for constitutional assembly to be held in April.
 Representatives of the popular party walked out in protest after the two ELIAS representatives made their demands. Gen. Nicholas PlaS- tiras. onetime strong man. of Greece who recently returned from exile, also said he considered the terms unacceptable and one source said he threatened to go back into exile if they were accepted.
 Damaskinos, who presided at the two-day conference, said he would call another meeting later, presum- ably after the appointment of a regency.
 There was no discussion of 8 truce at the meeting, and fighting still was continuing between the rival elements today.
 Churchill said at his press con- ference that fighting would con- tinue so long as the ELIAS refused to evacuate Attica. In order to clear the area, he added, the British were prepared to use whatever force is necessary.

 The government also asked a de- claratory judgment from the court of Judge Philip Sullivan to affirm the governments right to take pos session of the properties under the Presidents executive order.
