Zukauskos Asks TrioI ByCourt

Francis ZukauSkaS, former local policeman who faces first degree murder charge in the staying of Mrs. Stephanie Plungis, has changed his mind about haviong jury trial, and will ask for a court hearing when he is brought here during the January criminal term.
 His defense counsel, Public De- fender Edward T. Carmody and At tcrney w. w. Gager, are expected to give official confirmation of the report shortly.
 zukauskas on Nov. 9 pleaded not guilty to the first degree murder charge and at that time selected a trial by jury. Rumors had been cir culating ever since that the accused may prefer to fight the charge, which carries the death penalty on finding of guilty, before judges rather than 12 laymen.
 Il has been indicated Judge Frank P. McEHoy, who has been assigned here for the winter term, will defin- itely be assigned as one of the judges to hear the case when Zu- kauskas puts in formal change of election to a court trial. Reports are that the other judges will be ones assigned to serve nearby during the winter term, with Judge John H. King, assigned for Willimantic for January, and Judge Howard Alcorn, who is scheduled to sit in Litchfield in January, reported as possible se- lections for the trial.

Landing On Luzon Seen
BY UNITED PRESS

Tokyo said today that an Amer ican Fleet Of considerable strength" had been sighted in the Sulu Sea South of Invaded Min doro Island in the Philippines and speculated that another amphibious landing was in prospect, perhaps on Luzon.
 "The enemy is apparently plan ming to move into other areas, using Mindoro Island as a base,' the De- mel Agency said in a Tokyo broad cast recorded by the EGG. '"The apparent design of the enemy to advance his operational sphere to the Northwestern Philippines is not to be taken lightly
 Significantly, the only Sizeable Philippines Island north of Mindo- TO is Luzon, site of the capital city of Manila and ultimate objective of Gen. Douglas MacArthurs invasion of the Archipelago.
 The Domei dispatch said Japanese planes were carrying out "continu- ous assaults" on the American Fleet Of Mindoro itself, Tokyo said only that ''fierce battle was in pro- greSs.
 Tokyo broadcast similar reports of the sighting of an American Fleet just prior to the American landing on Mindoro Friday.
 Radio Tokyo also claimed today that the waters near the American beachhead on Mindoro were 'cov- cred with the wreckage of sunken American warships and transorts.

New Assault On Cologne

London, Dec IS = (UP) - Five American heavy bombers attacked rail yards at Cologne Colblenz, Mainz and elsewhere in western Germany today and many other large formations of Allied bombers flew out over the Channel apparent ly for new assaults on the Na1 com- munication lines behind the front.
 The raids followed heavy three pronged night assault by more than 1900 RAF heavy bomberS which crashed an estimated 5,750 tons of explosives on Duisburg, Munich and Ulm, all high priority transport centers supplying the German armies on the western front.
 In the attack on key points on 100-mile stretch from Cologne to Mainz, the four -enginer U. S. bomb- CTS were accompanied by more than 600 Mustangs but the big formation failed to stir up any enemy aerial opposition.
 Despite adverse weather which continued over the front, the Amer ican pilots planted their bombs through instruments squarely on the Sprawling railway supply system leading to German fighting lines.

 Hit Nogoyo And Honkow
BY FRED SCHERFF United Press Staff Correspondent

V
 Washington, DeS. 18-(UP)- Two fleets of superfortresses hit Nagoya, Japan's biggest aircraft manufacturing center, and Hankow, one of her main supply bases in China, in twin raids yesterday, the War Departmnet announced, and Tokyo said 70 of the B-29s returned for another attack on Nagoya today.
 There was 8 possibility that the Nagoya raids reported by Washing ton and Tokyo kere the same. The War Department said the raid 1t announced was made Sunday. Jap anese broadcasts said the city was attacked "after 1 p. m. Japanese time, which would be after midnight Eastern War Time on Monday. But the uncertainties of thet ime ele- ment could not be clarified beyond question.
 The raids on Nagoya were the second and, if confirmed by Wash ington, third in a week on Japan's third largest city, 165 miles west of Tokyo and home of the im- portant Mitsubishi aircraft works and other high priority war fac tories.
 Approximately 100 B-29s from Saipan were believed to have par ticipated in yesterdays attack, hurl- ing hundreds of tons of demolition and fire bombs on the teeming Honshu island metropolis, while an equalyl-large force from China hit Hankow.
 Tokyo failed to confirm either of yesterdays attacks, but broadcast an imperial headquarters com munique reporting that some TO- of the big four-enginer raiders had raided the Nagoya area today, caus- ing slight damage.
 Att he same time, the communiQue said, "a small number of planes invaded the Kinki area, but filed without dropping any bombs" The KinH area includes Osaka, Ja- pans biggest industrial center Nara, Wakayama, Gifu and Fukui all in south central Honshu.
 Though the communique made nc claim that any planes had beer shot down, it said "an investigation of war results is under way" Another Tokyo broadcast said Japanese planes and anti-aircraft units were giving ''hot reception" to several formations of B-29s over Kyshu, just southwest of Honshu, but it was possibly referring to some of the formations which later att | tackled HonShl targets.

Thomas PIons Inquiry Into War Shortage
By ELEANOR PACKARD

United Press War COrrespondent)
 Fifth Army Headquarters in Italy, Dec. 18.-CUP)-Rep. J. Parnell Thomas, of New Jersey, ranking Re- publican member of the house mili- tary affairs committee, told the United Press today he plans to lead an investigation into what he de- scribed as six icminently critical shortages on the western front.
 Following tour of the Italian war front with other junketing con- greSsmen, Thomas said two of these shortages directly affected the pro- gress of the war, two were threat ening increased casualties and the other two affected morale.
 Under the first classification he listed what he said was growing shortage of heavy ammunition and rubber tires. Insufficient hospital ships and whole blood for trans fusions, he said, were threatening increased casualties, while shortages of cigarets, chaplainS and supplies were classified as major morale fac- tors.
 Thomas said there was plenty of blood plaSma, but that whole blood was scarce because 1t lasts only four to five days and must be trans ported by plane. The Italian thea | ter, he added, was not suffering from these shortages anywhere near the same degree as the western front.
 Describing the Italian terrain as terrific" Rep. Overton Brooks, D, La, said it was his belief the Fifth Army should have more heavy artil- lery-particularly 240-mm. guns because these mountain defenses of rock formations can't be battered down except with the heaviest guns"
 At a press conference last night after tour of the front area, the congressman agreed that the home front had no conception of the dif- faculties encountered by American forces in Italy, particularly the mountainous terrain.
 Several of them blamed censor ship for giving an over-optimistic picture of the Italian situation, causing the people of the United States to believe the war would be over much sooner than is possible.

.Wor Ex pense Cut Made In .FDR s Budget
(NEA Telephoto)

Washington, Dec. 18. (UP)- President Roosevelt's budget for the 1946 fiscal year will call for a sharp cut in war spending on the asSump- ton the war in Europe will be over before that fiscal period ends on June 30, 1946, it was learned today.
 Informed quarters said the new budget, which MT. Roosevelt will present to the 79th Congress next month, is expected to call for about $78, 800, 100000 in war expenditures, or nearly $10,000, 100000 less than apportioned for the current fiscal year.
 The overall total of the new budget, it was said, will run around $9O, ,O00 100000 as against $100,000,- 100000 planned for the current period.
 If federal revenues remain un- changed during the next fiscal year, such a budget would leave 8 deficit of about $43 ,300, ,000,000 compared with this years revised estimate Of $53, ,366 100000. Treasury officials are not expected to seek any im- portant changes in tax schedules next year.
 The cutback in war spending is indicated in reduced shipbuildins needs, greatly curtailed construction of war plants and reduced training programs.
 Some of these savings will be offset by such items as increased costs for mastering out service per sonnel, greater outlays under the CT. bill of right sand higher 1n- terest on the public debt. The over. all reduction over the current fiscal year, however, is still expected to be substantial.

 London, Dec. 18.-(UP)-The bat tie for Budapest flared up with re- newed violence tcday as Red Army troops rammed Q narrow wedge through one of the enemy's north- east defense lines within five miles of the capital.
 Far to the northeast, other Soviet forces closed rapidly on the Hum- garian-Slovak frontier in a multi- pronged drive that trapped thou sands of Germans in the Bukka mountains and poised new threat to the Slovak railway center of Kas- sa (Kosice).
 Word of the new Soviet break through in the Budapest area came as Maxi military spokeSmen were bosating that their stiff defense had forced the Russians to "call off" the assault on the city.
 A Moscow communique said shock troops of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's second UkTainian army cracked the center of sev- en-nile highway line running from Alag to Bolnoka Hill on the north eastern approaches to Budapest.
 The Russian captured Fot. five and one-half miles northeast of the city, and Mogyorod, little more than a mile farther to the southeast, out flanking the Nazi hinge positions at Alag and Bolnoka Hill.
 The Germans abandoned hum dreds of their dead on the highway and at nightfsll yesterday were falls ing back slowly on Pest, fighting hard for every yard of ground.

Adjournment Facing Delay
BY JOHN L. CUTTER

OO1Ucu GEC0S 0e@AA OVAACSksOAo
 Washington, Dec. IS. (UP)-Con- gressional plans for adjournment were threatened with still further delay today by the New Deal re- volt against President Roosevelt's six new appointments to high state department office.
 Leaders of both houses, anxious to conclude the 78th Congress in time for a generous Christmas holi- day. now have set their sights OH day after tomorrow.
 The controversy centered about MT. RooSevelt's nomination of Jos eph c. Grew to be undersecretary of state and William L. Clayton, Archibald MacLeish, Nelson A. Rockefeller, James c. Dunn and Brig. Gen. Julius c. Holmes to be assistant secretaries.
 Inspiring the revolt were, ironical- ly. three of the most outspoken New Dealers in the senate-Sens. Claude Pepper, D., Fla; James E. Murray, D., Mont; and Joseph F. Guffey, D., Pa. The senate'S lone Progressive, Sen. Robert M. Lafollette of Wis consin, joined them in the move to send the nominations back to the White House with plea for MT. Roosevelt to reconsider them.
