 Rome, Oct. ie-(UP)-Three col umns of Eight Army troops drove against Cesena today with a Cana dian salient experimenting the at- tack after forcing a crossing of the Pisciatello river to establish a bridge- head in the outskirts of that indus trial and communications center on the Rimini-B Bologna highway.
 Although the Eighth Army forces met increasing resistance as they neared Cesena, the Germans were putting up the heaviest fighting in Italy on the Fifth army front, where American troops were steadily hack ing out gains in yards in the drive toward Bologna.
 The Canadian units of the Eighth Army at one point were less than a mile and a half from Cesena and two other columns approaching from the east and south were no more than three miles away.
 The Canadians forced the Piscia- tello against stiff opposition about a half mile north of the rail line which parallels the Rimini-B Bologna highway.
 On their right flank, New zea- flanders pushing along the Pc Val ley's main artery from Macerone cleared the village of Ruffia, three

 At the same time, the Germans were said to have sent five divisions from the reich to the hectic Buda- pest area, in an attempt to stabilize the Hungarian position, doubly threatened by a powerful Soviet drive from the east.
 The Nazis were reported to be fearful that the new Soviet offen- sive through the Balkans may carry to Budapest by Saturday.
 (MoScow broadcasts said Hungar- ian soldiers were battling German tanks and troops in the streets of Budapest and that Edmund Veesen- mayer, German minister to Hun gary, had committed suicide.)
 The movement of the first Hun- garian army toward the capital was reported by both the Brussels radio, quoting Paris sources, and the Kos- suth free Hungarian radio. The latter radio also appealed to the second and third armies to join in the drive against the Nazis and the 0erman-controlled government of Ferenc SzaIasi.

 London, Oct. ie - (U.P) - The British government has decided to recognize General Charles Dc oaulleS administration as the pros viSional government of France, the United Press learned from reliable sources today.
 The recognition probably will Do announced simultaneously with res lease soon by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to the French adminis- tFation of a large part of France as gone of interior"
 one highly placed source said British recognition might have been granted sooner had the United States been ready to take simul- taneous action, It was generally understood that the United States and Britain had taken concerted action.
 The British recognition was eX- pected to be complete with few strings attached except possibly in matters dealing with military exlg- encicS of the moment.
 The British government was said to feel that the time had come to put the administration of France fully in the hands Of the De daulle government, particularly in view of the generals speech Saturday when he told the French people they must learn to stand alone.
 It was believed if recognition of administrative responsibility for 8 large section of France is granted 1t will remove the fetters from the De daulle government and give 1t op- portunity to show its capability in domestic and foreign affairs.

 Washington, Oct, ls-tUPl- President Roosevelt has decided that the time has come for q few direct pot-shotS at Gov. Thomas D. Dewey, the Republican presidential candidate.
 The president will speak in New York city next Saturday night af- ter Q tour of the New York Metro- politan area, and in Philadelphia on October 27.

Further, they expected him to make Q brief stab into the middle west, perhaps speaking in Ohio and Ill., inois.
