 British It. Gen. Ronald Scobie acknowledged in communique that there had been little or no improve ment in the general position dur ing the past 24 hours, although some slight progress was made by the British toward clearing Piraeus ana the center of Athens.
 A representative of the FAM, poli- tical organization of the left-wing faction, conferred with Scobie yes- terday, but the negotiations broke down on the Briton's insistence that the anti-government forces must lay down their arms and eyacuate the Athens area before any con- promise can be made.

With the bulk of their own regu- lar troops reportedly evacuated to escape entrapment in the burning city, the Nazis called upon the citi- zens of Budapest to take up the guns of the fallen and fight for their capital.
 Moscow reports asserted, however, that defections were spreading among Hungarian trooos and civil ians and that many of them were turning their weapons against the Germans in the suburban areas.
 The Russian morning war bulle- tin reported continuing progress by the Soviet spearheads thrusting down into Budapest from the north east, but it remained silent on the progress of the great tank battles raging southwest and west of the city where the Red Army was trying to cut the last enemy Scape route to vienna.
 Tank and infantry formations of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's s Second Ukrainian Army punched through a formidable German de- fensive screen on the northeastern flank yesterday, capturing the fort ress town of Godollo, 10 miles from the city. Berlin admitted Malinov- sky's troops had pushed south of the town, cutting an important railroad loop there, and it was indicated the Russians were considerably closer on the east bank of the Danube di- rectly north of Budapest.

 The War Department announced today's attack on industrial targets on Honshu without naming any specific objectives, but nearly three hours later Tokyo said the Super fortreSses had hit the "vicinities" of Nagoya, 165 miles southwest of Tokyo, and Hamamatsu, 55 miles southeast of Nagoya.
 Another Tokyo broadcast heard in London said that as Superfortress attacks against Japan steadily in- creased, priority in evacuation" was being given the most import ant industries" and non-essential civilians.
 The report indicated that Japan, following the lead of bomb- battered Britain and Germany, was setting up a system of shadow factories dispersed over the Japanese home islands to house industries now concentrated in major cities, where they offer juicy targets to Amer ican bombardiers.
 Axis radios yesterday said that civilians were being evacuated from Tokyo at the rate of 10000 day.
 Nagoya, named by Tokyo as one of the main targets in today's B-29 attack, before the war was Japan's biggest aircraft manufacturing cen ter. It was the site of the Mitsubishi heavy industries, which manufac- tured aircraft, engines, hydro-elec- tric and general industrial equip ment.
 Tokyo said several waves of Sup- erfortresses thundered over central Japan about l p. m. (Tuesday mid night, EWT) and dropped bombs at random" in the Nagoya anc Hamamatsu areas. Nagoya is a city of 100000 persons.
 Though Tokyo said 40 Superfort- resses participated in the attack the War Departments announce ment that thet force was "sizeable' indicated that it totaled 100 or more of the giant raiders.
 Tokyo, as well as the important kobe-Osaka industrial area, also are on Honshu.
 The War Department said the raid on what it described only as industrial targets on the Japanese mainland of HonShu" was another blow in the mounting B-29 aerial off, fensive against Japanese strategic targets.
 Details of the attack will be an- nounced when further information IS received" the announcement said

 Patch's Forces
 Patch's forces appeared finally to have cracked the German line in the eastern tip of France and in number of sections the enemy was in full flight for the shelter of the Siegfried line across the palatinate border.
 One of his two main columns raced up the west bank of the Rhine into Seltz, only mile and half from the river and five and half miles south of the German border. German resistance suddenly stiffen- ed inside 2eltz, but the doughboys were making steady progress in street fighting.
 This column was following in the route of the invasion armies of Na- poleon and Louis XIV, which seized Karlsruhe and Stuttgart and press ed on to Ulm to anchor their south- ern flank against the Danube and the Alps.
 Farther west, Patch sent another force spearing five miles north through Woerth to the vicinity of MattstaA, only four and half miles from the German border and within sight anr artillery range of the Sieg- fried Line.
 Between the two main columns, other Seventh Army forces were capturing town after town in the Haguenau Forest area with little or no opposition, indicating that the Germans safely had extricated the bulk of their garrison and now were in full retreat toward the Siegfried forts.

 "The steps which have been taken in Greece are not decisions of Win ston Churchill. They are decisions of the cabinet. and my colleagues participated in these discussions over nearly four years, trying to work out the best way to handle these terrifying problems that would arise at the end of the war.
 T say boldly that I am party to these decisions, and looking back I cannot convince myself that any of these decisions were wrong. The stability of Greece is vital to the stability and ultimate settlement of the Balkans as a whole"
 Bevin's speech, spearheaded with the statement that ''The British empire, whether we like it or not, cannot abandon its position in the Mediterranean" was the clearest expression so far of the labor min- isters' views regarding the policy in Greece.
 The vote at the party's annual conference was taken amidst scenes of unparalleled disorder.
 The vote on the resolution, de- scribed officially as milk and wa ter" affair, was 2,445, 900 to 137,000.

 Then the engines quit and the Grant started down by the bow, listing heavily to port. The crashing gunfire stopped suddenly and there was an eerie silence aboard the stricken destroyer, broken only by the groans of the wounded scattered around the dark decks.
 Frantic reports pouring up to the bridge gave grim account of dams age everywhere, and of injured men needing help.
