city.
 While Moscow heretofore had given no hint of a drive north of Budapest, the Soviet conmunique indicated that at least one column of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's 2nd Ukrainian Army was heading in that direction.
 That force was moving due north from Ullo, eight miles southeast of Budapest, after severing the main rail line from Szolnok in what ap- peared to be wide hanking drive around the capital of Gernaany's last satellite.
 The, siege line around the south- ern part of Budapest was anchored in the east at Ullo. passed through Andrassy and terminated at Tak- sony, six miles below the capital on the Danube river.
 Other segments of Malinvsky's forces also continued their drives northeastward from the Cegled- SzoInok area along the parallel highway and railroad leading from those cities.
 Towns Occupied
 One unit swept through VarnyaS. three miles northeast of Cegled. and Vasad, 12 miles southeast of Buda- pest, while another occupied Fokoru, five miles northeast of Szolnok.
 Moscow reported that from Nov. 2 to 4, approximately 5000 enemy troops were captured to raise the bag of prisoners in the campaign between the Danube and ,Tisza rivers to more than 10,500.
 The Soviet communique said the Germans were making desperate but futile attempts to halt the Rus sian armored forces, and threw four tank and one motorized SS-division into an unsuccessful attack just south of Budapest.
 Despite unfavorable weather, Red Army planes steadily supported the ground forces and alone knocked out 28 German tanks yesterday. The Russians apparently were throwing all forces into the battle to. capture the city in time for the celebration of the 27th anniversary GOAAO1AOW O1 IIlc EVCQ 1bCVO4uV1OIs Heavy Fire A Romanian broadcast said the city also was being subjected to heaviest artillery fire"
 Reports from numerous sources indicated the Germans were having difficulty controlling the capital. Radio Atlantik reported that the Germans were attempting to con- f1scate all civilian arms and Stock holm reported that strikes had oc- cured in various parts of Budapest. The Margareten bridge, one of the five spans across the Danube in Budapest, was reported to have been blown up with a heavy loss of life. An explosion was said to have de- stroyed the bridge while it was heavily loaded with automobile, busses and street cars which fell into the river,

 It seemed likely today that about 5000 votes would be cast here to- morrow. Chairmen Tsngney likewise predicted about a 40,000 majority for Roosevelt: in the state which Re- publican observers tagged as "out Of proportion" and predicting a Dewey victory in Conencticut. Peter Higgins

All employees will be granted sufficient time to vote.
 Both party leaders today urged all party voters to get out and vote in strong numbers. The general opinion was that the absence over seas of relatives would serve as the spur toward a heavy casting at the city's g polls.

 Biggest gains were in the cities and only IS small towns reported fewer names on this years registry lists. These decreases were ac- counted for by migration of work CTS to industrial areas.

Southern Accent

HOLLYWOOD - This is the
sad story of how Sondra Rod
gers lost a good maid and her
southern accent-all in the same
day!
Miss Rodgers, one of Holly
woods more talented dialecti-
clans, had been utilizing her
talents at home to discourage
unWelcome callers by answering
the phone in Blue Grass drawl,
pretending to be a maid In
this way she was able to make
sure of the callers identity be-
fore revealing her own.
Hurd Hatfield stopped her at
the studio the other day and told
her he'd located a gem of a serv-
ant for her but finally recon-
mended the girl elsewhere when
a mutual acquaintance told him
Sondra already had a maid.
It took the Kentucky actress
a little while to figure it all
out, but when she did she par
doned her Southern accent-but
for good!

CoIor For
7 he Muuve
Decade

HOLLYWOOD - Americas
mauve decade was the most col
orful period in its history, and
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer intends
to prove tin Technicolor.
The picture is Meet Me In
st. Louis" starring Judy Gar
land, based on the book by Sally
Benson, and as nostalgia as a
package of old Valentines tied
together with satin ribbon and
topped with a withered rose.
We had to have Technicolor,"
Director Vincente Minnelli ex-
planned. "Only through its use
could we fully capture the
charm of that incredible period.
Our picture is divided into four
seasons. It starts with summer
on st. Louis Kensington Avenue.
We see the damp, Wilted white
of women's dresses and mems
suits, the brilliant yellow of the
beer wagons, the shiny newness
of early 'horseless carriage" the
wide expanseS of lawn curling
under the waves of heat that
rise from unpaved streets, the
cool green of ice wagons and the
frosty blueneSs of their loads.
Then Technicolor catches the
change that is Fall. The bright
colored leaves whisked from
trees. The deep orange of pump
kin heads at the windows on
Halloween, the cracking bril-
lance of a street bonfire around
which neighborhood youngsters
covort in a wild array of cos
tunes.
Our winter sequence finds
the same scene blanketed in
snow. In the windows are
Christmas trees. Holiday colors
are reflected in the silver bells
of horse-drawn sleighS.
Spring finds the trees COW
cred with blossoms. The green
of the lawns and shrubs gives
freshness to the air. And only
through color could the pageant
ry of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, held in st. Louis IN
1904, be caught in its breath
taking brilliance.
Technicolor has captured this
fabulous era and recorded it. 1t
has brought to life again the
colorful homes of the time with
their plush sofas, green living
rooms and red dining-rooms. 1t
has recalled a happier time,
when golden butter was piled
high in a cardboard boat and
pitcher reveals the rich ivory
tone of pure cream, so thick it
must be spooned from its con-
tainer.

Movie SET

HOLLYWOOD - B o b
Walker is playing a scene
for Metros Goldwyn-Mayers
THE Clock" out on Lot 2,
where an authentic repro
duction of a New York
street has been constructed.
Judy Garland, who stars in
the film, isn't needed in the
scene so she has been given
the day off.
Now Bob is seen dashing
down the street in a des-
parate search for Judy.
BY the middle of the aft
ernoon, Bob has peered
around corners, sprinted
down streets, run in and
out of stores, so many times
that he's practically ex-
hausted.
Just then, Director Vim
cente Minnelli tells him he
is wanted on the telephone,
Hi! Bob" Judy's voice
chirps over the wire, II un-
derstand you've been look
ing for me. I'm at the beach
having a swim! Did you
want anything special?"

Esther Couldn't

Of Water

HOLLYWOOD - Esther Will

Yosemite on location, toured the
Navy hospital, which was for
merly the Ahwahnee Hotel.
Both spoke to a gathering at the

As Esther and Van were about

"We have pail of water" the
men had written. "Will you give
US a swimming demonstration"
1t was from small ward of
sailors who were confined to
their beds and unable to go to
the theater.
Esther and Van visited the
ward, in bathing suits, and the
boys had a merry surprise, if not
a swimming demonstration.

Derwood Farmer 10 Seek
COP Senate Nomination
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Describing his candidacy as based
primarily on an indictment of the
Roosevelt administration, Roscoe F.
Walter, Derwood (Md) farmer, said
Yesterday he would seek the Repub-
lican nomination for Senator.
Mr.. Walter declared he would run
In the May primaries for the seat
held by Senator Tydings, Havre de
Grace Democrat.
He said in a 41-page statement
that he was "impelled" to this action
in view Of the tragedy" now facing
the American people "in the matter
OF government ''' at the hands of
the New Deal in the accomplish
ment of its purpose to over
throw the Constitution and to sub
stitute in its stead a boasted plan
ing system entirely opposed to our
once-established principles of repre-
sentative government"
Mr.. Walter said he favored a
"businesslike prosecution of the
war to its earliest conclusion" and
elimination of politics from the
conduct of the war;
His statement dealt at length with
the charges made in 1884 by the
late DR.. William A. Writ, a Gary
IndD school superintendent, that
there was a plot among some New
Dealers to overthrow the established
social order of the United States
and to substitute a planned econ
omy. The statement said that DR..
