Washington, March 21 - (UP)- Rep. Louis E.

 The charges were made before the house FCC investigation committee. Miller said he would produce "one or two boys on that task force, one of whom was disabled because of the bungling of the amateurs in the EGG"

 Allied H e a d dquarte CTS, Naples, March 21. - (UP) - German shock troops hit back savagely at attacking Allied forces around Cassi- nos gutted Continental Hotel today and Allied spokesmen revealed that endorsements were being despatched to the embattled Nazi garrison through a secret 1,200-yard tunnel leading to an ancient Roman amphitheater outside town.
 Front reports said @ brawling hand-to-hand battle ragged all around the hotel and it was indi- cated that the New Zealand in- fantrymen who broke into the building yesterday and captured al- most 200 prisoners had been nurle0 back into the streets.
 The hotel itself, which the Ger mans had converted into bristling strongpoint, was described as a no- man's-land, under heavy fire from both sides.
 (BBC reporter Michael Reynolds reported from advanced 9th Army headquarters that the Allied forces inside Cassino are in a critical and rather grim situation" While the New Zealanders hold practically all of the town, he said, they are under constant artillery fire from the sur- rounding hills and may have diffl- culty in holding on to their gains.)

Montreal, Mar. 21.-(UP)-Twelve civilian and military aircraft searched the ice-clogged lower Gulf of St. Lawrence today for three men marooned beside 8 stranded air liner on a big ice floe for Q week.
 Improved flying conditions sent every available plane into the air. While an icebreaker bucked the heavy sea of ice up the coast of Newfoundland toward the narrow Strait of Belle Isle to head off ths floe before it drifts to sea.
 The three men were two unidenti- fled employees of Canadian Pacific Airlines and passenger. They were aboard company plane forced down by fog onto the foe in the Gulf near Harrington Harbor, 300 miles east of Quebec City, at g p. m. last Tuesday.

 London, March 21. WP) - Hungarian quarters i'm Stockholm said today that Hungary might proclaim a formal state of war with Ger many in defiance of Naxi occupation of the country and the reported eStablish- ment of a puppet govern ment at Budapest.
 A Stockholm dispatch said Hungarians there expected an announcement that Hum gary was at war with Ger many, although other reports from the continent indicated that some 15O,OOO German troops were completing the occupation and had the strife-tOrn Balkan state well under the Nazi thumb.
 The Berlin radio quoted a government spokesman that the purpose of the occupa- tion of Hungary was to strengthen the defense forces in southeastern Eu- rope" - which by other ac- counts were in a state of near panic, because of the Russian drive to within 35 miles of Rumania proper and 100 or so miles of Hungary.
 Admiral Nicholas Horthy, regent of Hungary, Premier Nicholas Kal- lay and Foreign Minister Jenoe Do Ghyczy were reported to have been taken to Germany by the Nazis after the weekend politic- military coup obviously aimed at bracing up the tottering German position in southeast Europe. ,r~ Hungary Betrayed"
 Count Lonyay. leader of the fires Hungarians here, charged that Hum gary had been betrayed ''by Horthy and his gang" and called on bis countryn1en everywhere to join the Allied armies.
 Now it is the duty of every true Hungarian patriot to act without hesitation or delay" he said. There is no time to continue the quarrel about petty political questions. We have to take up arms against the invaders"
 Though the Germans cut all Bud- apest's communications with the outside world, roundabout reports reaching London said some 150,000 German troops occupied all strate- gic points in Hungary in a weekend coup designed to forestall Hungar- ian peace move and prepare for a last-ditch stand behind the Carpa- thians against the approaching Red army.

Lava Wipes OutViIIoqe
BY ELEANOR PACKARD limited Press Staff COrreSuOnde

On the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius March 21-(UP)-A 70-foot wall ot molten lava obliterated the village of San Sebastian on the upper slopes of Mount Vesuvius today only few hours after Allied mili- tary authorities had removed its 5000 inhabitants.
 The great stream of lava, spewed out of the volcano'S cone in the worst eruption of modern times moved down the northwest slope with memorable force and by mid afternoon had travelled 800 yards beyond San Sebastian to cover three-quarters of the neighboring town of Massa Di Somma.
 When I last saw MasSa Di Somma earlier today the lava flow was circling around the ancient granite wall of the village church, and it appeared doubtful that anything would be left of the village by nightfalL
 The force of the flow showed no signs of slackening, although 1t was cooling rapidly as it spread over the mountainside, resembling a huge pile of slag spilling out red-hot coals as it advanced.
 After more than 200 military vehicles, starting work at dark last night in the ruddy glow of the vol cano, had completed the evacua- tion of the two towns in 10 hours, authorities began moving the pop ulation of the village of Cercola, which is lower down the slope.
 Emergency food stations and rest points have been established to take care of the increasing number of refugees.

New English War Zones
BY PHIL AULT

United Press War Correspondent
 London, March q. (UP)-An order establishing a secret military zone 10 miles deep along some 600 miles of England's east and south coasts beginning April 1 was re- garded today as another step in the preparation for the invasion of western Europe.
 The most sweeping regulations since those imposed in the days just after Dunkirk will forbid visitors to enter coastal areas all the way from the Wash, half way up the English east coast, down the shores of the North Sea and the Dover Straits to the windswept rocks on the tip of lands end. Smaller areas along the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland also will be designated as protected military zones.
 Announcement of the closure of coastal areas came soon after a warning that public travel on Brit ish railways may be stopped with out notice because of military traf- fic.
 The ban will prevent thousands of Britlsners from enJoylng Cnelr summer holidays at Brighton, Tor quay and other seaside resorts along the south coast and will shield from punblic gaze the great ports of Southampton, Portsmouth and Ply mouth.
 Establishment of the military zone was described by the Daily Mail as "a major auguery of deci- sive events ahead"
 No one in the protected area will be permitted to use binoculars or telescopes without special permits and anyone convicted of entering the zone without authorization will be liable to a &100 ($400) fine or three months imprisonment.
