New Attacks
Our Of Skies
By ROBERT DOWSON

LONDON, Nov. II. (UP)
The Germans loosed an
Armistice Day barrage of
robot bombs against London
and southern England early
Saturday, b u t censorship
prevents disclosure whether
they included any of the huge
new V-2 rockets.
Night fighters, antiaircraft guns,
and even gunner aboard North
Sea traWler destroyed many vi jet
propelled robots before they could
Give to earth, but some got through
and crashed in scattered areas.
PLANES IN FRAY
Coastal watchers reported great,
fiery glcWs and loud explosions
from the sea, touching off specula-
ton that some of the planes from
which the Germans have been
launching Wis recently also had
been shot down.
Many pieces of the explosive W.
rockets which have hurtled down
on southern England from an alti-
tude of 60 to 70 miles in the past
few weeks have been recovered.
From these, experts may be able
to piece together composite rocket
and devise countermeasureS.

NEW YORK, Nov. II. tUP)-The
American newspaper publishers as
sociaticn. bidding for a full share

is an effort to meet the postwar
advertising problem of newspapers

Russians Speed
Budapest Push,
Drive in Prussia
By HENRY SHAPIRO

MOSCOW, Nov. IL. CUP) - The
Red army tightened its grip on the
outskirts of Budapest Saturday and
stepped up an already heavy artil-
lery bombardment on the East
Prussian front.
Dispatches from all parts of the
front said the Russians were mass
ing men and machines for a full
fledged general offensive expected
as soon as the ground freezes hard
enough for the movement of heavy
tanks and guns.
CROSS DANUBE
Field reports from Hungary said
individual Soviet units had thrust
across the Danube directly below
Budapest. When a firm bridgehead
is established, the dispatches said, a
thanking drive around the capital
can be expected. At least four Ger
man panzer divisions were reported
ready to oppose any frontal assault
on Budapest.
A communique disclosed that
southern Soviet forces were contin-
uing their westward drive against
Budapest after severing the main
rail supply line between enemy
troops in northeast Hungary and
those defending the Nazi satellite
capital.
BIG GUNS SPEAK
The artillery bombardment in
East Prussia was concentrated
mostly on German gun positions,
several of which were destroyed,
apparently in an effort to clear a
path for the armored forces of
Gen. Ivan d. Cherniakhovsky'
Third Russian army.
While the communique did not
give the location of the Smelling,
Cherniakhovsky was reported to
have tremendous artillery forces as
much as 300 guns to a mile, along
the entire 95-mile front straddling
the main railway to KCnigsberg,
capital of East Prussia.
Soviet patrols were increasingly
active on the East Prussian front.
One unit in a sharp engagement
killed about 200 Germans and took
a number of prisoners.

taken up their garrison posts there.
Gigantic food ana munition depots
already have been established and
underground factories have been
built, of which 48 are now in OPP
Grafton, according to these sources.
At the same time, the Nazi lead
ers, anticipating massive Allied air
raids on their hideout, we're said
to have ordered construction of
bomb-procf housing facilities cap

heavier than the RATS six-ton

Too Much Paper,
WPB Charge Holds

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. CUP)-
The war production boards COM
pliance division has charged the
Chicago Sun with excess use Of
1869 tons of newSprint in viola
ton of WPB regulations. The Sun,
published by Marshall Field, was
charged by WPB's compliance di-
vision as follows:
During the second quarter of
1914 the Chicago Sun used or caused
to be used 1869 tons of print
paper in excess of the quota of
print paper which it was permitted
to consume during the quarter un-
der provisions of limitation order
L-240, and in violation of that or
der.
The Chicago Sun had full knowl-
edge ofs the terms and provisions
of limitation order L-240 and the
violations were Willful.
IMPEDES WAR EFFORTS
This excessive use of paper has
diverted scarce materials to uses
not authorized by the war produc-
ton board and has hampered and
impeded the war effort of the
United States CT America
WPB directed the Sun to reduce
its use of neWsprint 197.08 tons un-
der its quota during November and
December, together; by 1854 tons
during the 1945 first quarter; by
295.63 tons during the 1945 second
quarter; and by 1884 tons during
the l945 third quarter.
CHICAGO, Nov. II. (UP)-The

the war production boards compli-
ance division which accused the
newspaper CT excess use of news
print in violation of WPB regula-
tionS.
Clem j. Randau, business man.
ager of the Sun. said the paper
would demand a re-hearing before
the compliance division and would
request stay of execution of the
WPB order directing the Sun to
reduce its use of newsprint.
STRIKES BACK
Commenting en- the WPB charges
Randau said:
THE language of the WPB COM
pliance division notice that Sun
has hampered and impaired the
war effort of the United States of
America is vicious and unwarrant-
ed, The record of the Chicago Sun
in the war effort is outstanding in
American Journalism.
