MOSCOW, Dec. 27.-The Russian
press, commenting ON Hungarys po.
litical reconstruction behind Rec
Army lines. today praised the gov
ernment of Col. Gen. Bella Miklos as
founded on the principles of democ-
racy.
An international review in Red
Star by Commentator Konstantin
Hoffman said the cabinet named by
the provisional Hungarian Assembly
at Debrecen included prominent
military, scientific and political
figures.
The Russian newspaper even liked
. Hungarian plank about fostering
private enterprise.
Land reform will play very i'm
portant role in the demo-
cratic development of Hungary and
the determination of the poison of
Hitlerism," Red Star said.
Fifty per cent of the rural popula-
ton has been landless. Thirty-six
per cent had an average of less than
three acres per capita and half of all
Hungarian territory belonged to
10,760 landlords"

fensive action before the Ruhr VAL
ley.
S. That the German air force vir-
tually was nonexistent.
6. That the Germans shortage OF
gasoline and war materials pre-
cluded any large-scale effort.
Yet Won Runstedt has been able
to throw elements OF many divi-
sions into this battle while holding
the rest OF the Western front and
Is still known to have a powerful
punch left.
There may be some shortage of
gasoline, but it is not yet apparent
and the Luftwaffe has put forth its
greatest effort since 1910.
GA dispatch dated two days
later from Associated Press Cor
respondent Hal Boyle at United
States 1st Army headquarters
said German tanks were begin
ming to run out of fuel as a result
of Allied air pounding of Ger
man forward elements and sup
ply columns. Combat command
ers reported finding numerous
Nazi vehicles abandoned in Bel
gium after running out of fuelD
Other Underestimates Cited.
1t Is not the first time that Allied
military leaders have underestimated
German strength. A similar estimate
was made of Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel's condition in February,
1912, just before he came out Of
Faid Pass in Southern Tunisia. Ger
man capabilities also were under
estimated in Italy along the Rapido
River and at the start of the Anzio
bridgehead.
The best estimate of German
capabilities was made for the orig
inal D day landings in Normandy,
when Nazi strength coincided closely
with the original Allied appraisal.
In the overall picture, however,
many American and British mill
tary men believed Germany could
not last out this year as fighting
nation.
This overoptimism among officials
and this underestimation of Ger
many were the very things many of
these same military leaders had
warned against in messages to the
people OF America and Britain.

Error in Intelligence

Admiral Ramsey Hints
New Types Of Planes
Are Going 70 Pacific

New types OF aircraft designed
to maintain our technical superiority
soon gwill be launched against the
Japs, Rear Admiral Dewitt c. Ram
sey, chief Of the Naval Bureau of
Aeronautics, indicated today at the
press conference of Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal.
Also on hand at the conference
was Fleet Admiral King, command
ed of the United States Fleet, who
will complete three years as Chief
OF Naval Operations on Saturday.
Admiral King reviewed the role
played In this war by amphibious
operations and suggested that the
conflict be called THE War of Am
phibious Operations. He said am
phibious warfare has led the way
in what has been accomplished
against the enemy"
Admiral Ramsey pointed out that
certain types Of carrier-based
fighters are developing multiple
threat characteristics. Although
they were designed primarily as
rugged fighters, they can be used
for strafing. dive-bombing and
launching rockets.
He said the shortening of dis
tances has added considerably to
the bombing power of naval air
craft.
AS the distances to the more
formidable centers of Japanese re-
sistance decrease" he said, ut is
apparent that we can translate a
greater percentage of gasoline ca
pacity in our fighters to bomb
carrying capacity But We still will
possess in our fighters, inherently
designed for air combat. the best
means Of coping with the enemy
air threat which We may expected to
develop with increasing intensity"

Soint's Birth Place Rozed
BY CLINTON D, cON0ER

Unlted Efe&a war correspondent
 Aqulno, May 2S-(UP)--The birth place Of St. Thomas Aquinas was a shamhles of ruined monuments to. day, filtered with burned and twist ed tools of war left by the retreat ing Germans.
 British troops occupied Aquino this morning and at noon bulldozers already were at work, clearing heaps Of debris from It's ancient streets.
 The Nazis fortified Aquino as . key point at the center of theiE Adolf Hitler line, studding its shTines with machine gun nests and plll- boxes. When they pulled out last night they sowed the streets with mines to slow the Allied advance.
 Ravaged by shells. the roof of the town cathedral had been ripped away, along with the entire rear wall. The TnuFalS on the remaining walls and above the altar were seaT- red and scorehed, and many have been partially torn away by bomb and shell blasts,
 Only two walls and . fragmentaFy partition were left of the chapel ad- joining the cathedral. but an eight foot statue of the Beningn phlloso- pheF-saint was standing, undamaged except for two fingers missing from one hand,
 A mile away across the fields were the covered remains of the early church of SC, Thomas with It's ornaments iron ancient churches, The church has been T0oi- less for centuries but escaped fuF- theF damage in this war,
 Towering above it was the Cath edral of Santa Maria LiheTa, iound- cd by St, Thomas sister in the llth century on the site of an ancient pagan temple,
 Restored Recently
 The cathedral, restored only seven years ago, became a ruin in the stoTmlng of the Hitler line, Its root was Tlddled, the interior was guIted and the floor Was black with mud and water,
 The square stone splFe of the cathedral, which must have been an excellent Naxi observation post, had been shot away to the level of the top roof Grass was growing over the board steps leading into the Cathedral, where a half-doEen wooden box mines were abandoned by the Germans,
 Thomas Aaulnas, the father Of scholastic philosophy whose writings influenced the theology thought 0l the western church, was born al ROeoaseeea castle few miles north of Aquino, In 1928,
 He died In la7s and was ean0nis ed a years later by Pope John NNII, Pope Leo NNII, in his Fn eyelleal of Aug, {, 1879, directed thai the teachings Of the "dOeloF angell' euS' should Dc taken by the Roman Catholic church as the basis al theology
