 Spichalski said he described to Stalin and Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov the destruction in War saw and was promised Russian aid in the restoration of the Polish cap- ital.
 What the Soviet Union promises, it carries out unfailingly," he quoted Stalin as saying.
 Spichalski said Stalin emphasized the need of friendship anG alliance among the Slav peoples.
 ''The Union of Slav peoples" Sta- lin said, lis not Czarist or great power Panslavism. It is Union of equal Slav states. The Soviet unit stands guard over such Union.
 Poland should be strong, inde- pendent Democratic state. It should have strong army which together with the Allied Red Army should stand guard over Democracy, Secur- ity and peace

FRENCH FORCES CAPTURE MULH0USE
TWO MORE IAP
 SHIPS DAMAGED AT BRUNEI BAY.

BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press War Correspondentl
 Allied Headquarters, Philip pines, November 22. (UP) - Am erican LiberatorS scored damaging hits on two more Japanese WarshipS, one of them a light cruiser, in a pre-dawn attack Sunday on the naval base at Brunei Bay, Borneo, General Douglas Macarthur announced to- day.
 He also disclosed that manila and the remainder of the Philippines had been brought within range of his land based 'bombers for iIl- tensified raids through the use of expanded airf1elds on tLeyte as refueling bases. Heretofore, only carrier based planes have been able to reach Manila, capital and main enemy stronghold in the Philippines.
 Though he has announced no land-based attacks on Manila, Mac Arthur said Liberators from south esn bases had refueled at Leyte over the weekend before going on to raid targets on Cebu, Mindanao and else where in the central Philippines.
 GA Japanese broadcast recorded by the EGG said 20 American planes bombed Cauayan on Luzon yester- day, while 60 others raided Davao on Mindanao and three hit Bocolod city on Negros. Manila also is situ- ated on Luzon.)
 On the fighting front. Japanese resistance in the Limon pocket in northwest Leyte appeared near the breaking point, but the enemy was preparing a strong new defense line along the Leyte river to the south east.
 The bombing raid on Brunei Bay was the third within a little more than three days. Earlier raiders scored direct hits on a hattleship, heavy cruiser and destroyer. A spokesman for MacArtlltir said the Japanese had a large cohcentra- ton of shipping at Brunei, which they had been using as a stopover point on the f1orth-south run be- tween Japan proper and her stolen East Indies empire.
 It was possible that some war ships had sought refute at Brunei Bay after having been damaged in the second battle of the Philippines last month.
 Other bombers from the southwest Pacific command sank two coastal vessels, probably sank two freighters and damaged flee other vessels in attacks in the Philippines, Borneo and CelebeS.

DRIVING RAINS
 STALL SOv|ETS NEAR BUDAPEST
BY ROBERT s. MUsEL NUnited Press War Correspondent

Limited Press War COrrespOndent)
 London, November p. - (UP) - Soviet tanks and riflemen, supported by the guns of the Red fleet, Slashed deep into the last pocket of German resistance on the southern tip of Saare Island today, in a bitterly-conteS drive to reopen the gulf of Riga and break the Nazi blockade on Riga harbor.
 Far to the south, German counter-blowS and driving rains that churned the Hun garian battlefields into a quagnire stalled the Red Arn1y's enveloping sweep on Budapest almost to a stand still.
 Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovskys 2nd Ukranian army hacked out limited gains all along the 8O-mlle front extending northeastward from Budapest, but the ceaselesS rains and stiffened enemy resistance pre- vented any decisive breakthrough.
 Both Moscow and Berlin hinted strongly that the uneasy lull on the eastern front was about to end in mighty Russian offensive, perhaps simultaneously in Poland and East Prussia where the NaZis recently have been reporting immense con- centrations of Soviet men and ma terial.
 One Berlin spokesman said seven to eight Red Army divisions, pos sibly 100000 or more men, already had gone over to the attack in eaStern Chechoslovakia in a bid to break off the German salient Jutting into the Russian lines in the Czech Hungarian border area.
 The early morning Soviet war coramunique, as usual, ignored the German reports, focusing instead on the no-quarter battle raging on Saage Island.
 All organized enemy resistance on the l,010-square-mile Estonian Is- land appeared to be crumbling swift Iy under the concerted Soviet blows from land and sea. Hemmed into 9 narrowing corner four miles wide and about four miles deep on the southern extremity of Serve Penin- sula, the trapped Nais fought back desperately but with little or no chance of survival.
 Units of Marshal Leoni- A. Gov oroy,s Leningrad army, joined by anphibious troops landed from the Baltic fleet, stormed through powerful chain of Qualifications thrown across the two-nile neck of the peninsula yesterday.

63 Superforts Damaged In Chino-T Tokyo
By FRED SCHERF

United Press Stam COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Nov. 22.-UP)- American Superfortresses were be- lieved today to have fought one of the great aerial battles of the Pacific war in their first test of strength with Japanese fighters over Qyushu and occupied China yesterday.
 Tokyo claimed in new imperial headquarters communique tht 63 of the Superfortresses had been shot down or damaged for loss of six Japanese planes. Though the U. s. War Department was awaiting fur ther reports before announcing American losses, it reported in 8 communique yesterday that Japa- nese casualties actually were 55 planes shot down or damaged.
 It marked the first time that Japa- nese fighters in strength had dared to come within range of the heav- ily-armed Superfortresses, an indi- cation that damage already caused by American bombs and the threat of increasingly-heavy attacks on Japan proper had forced the enemy command to risk its dwindling air strength in an attempt to turn back the bombers.
 The losses mentioned in the Amer ican and Japanese communique raised the possibility that several hundred planes were involved in the air battle. Tokyo said TO to 80 Super fortresses were involved.
 The latest Japanese communique asserted that 30 Superfortresses, in- cluding 12 probables, had been shot down. Twenty-six were said to have been downed over Kyushu, where they bombed the Omura Aircraft Works, and the other four over Anwhei and Honan province. Twenty-four were listed as damaged over Yyushu and nine over China.
 A War Department communique yesterday placed Japanes casual ties at 20 planes shot down, 16 prob ably shot down and 19 damaged. The
