EDEN MAKES BIC CLAIM
 OVER POLICY
Disputes America sDeelar. aiion 10 Keep Hands ' Off" on Affairs

LONDON, Dec. 6-British For eign Secretary Anthony Eden as- serted flatly today that Britain IS within her rights in trying to shape iathe governments of the liberated countries and thereby split com- pletely with the American declara- tion of hands off" policy for Italy.
 s Eden stood by the British govern ment's veto of the proposed appoint ment of Carlo Sforza as Italian For eign Minister.
 American Secretary of State Ed ward J. Stettinius, Jr., announced yesterday the United States didn't oppose Sforza and felt the Italians should be allowed to form their own government without outside inter- ference.
 Eden's statement, clearly signifi- cant in reshaping Europe, brought divided sentiment from the House of Commons. Cries of mo" met the suggestion, made by IvoI Thomas, Laborite, that Britain withdraw gracefully" and admit "a blunder had been made" just as Stettinius had implied in his "ne interference" statement.
 The statement is far broader declaration than the immediate is- sue of Count Sforza, so Eden appar- ently applied his words to the fu- ture of all liberated Europe. T : must repeat to the House, I main- tai-. the British Government has 8 perfect right to express an opinion to another government about min- ister under conditions such as these, Eden said.
 The British press commented sharply on the American note. Tt was rude and meant to be so,' said the Manchester Guardian.
 The Yorkshire Post said it smack ed of self-righteousness.

RED FORCES EDGE CLOSER
 TO AUSTRIA
Now Only 40 Miles Away from Austrid-|n Final
 Defense Zone

LONDON, Dec. 6-Soviet tanks, sweeping past Lake Balaton, today plunged to within 40 miles of the Austrian border. Moscow dispatches said, while the Germans acknowl- edged the new threat to the Hun garian capital of Budapest.
 The Soviet sweep is curling around the lower end of the great Hungarian lake and is now beating through the final defense zone guarding the southeast door to Germany.
 The Berlin radio said the Rus sians crossed to the west bank of the Danube below Budapest from 30-mile long Csepel Island, estab- fishing a new bridgehead and winning the town of Ercsi, 20 miles south of the capital. Budapest is under large scale attack on both sides. The German command de- clared fighting in Hungary is rising in violence.
 One Berlin broadcast said the main Soviet blows had been thrown in between the Danube and Lake Balaton and the Soviets had gained ground toward the north and northwest. A German communique, L. | rte were largely halted as the race toward Austria endangered the rear communications with the large Yugoslav city of Zagreb.

Britain Splits With US. Over Foreign Policy
The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Armyo

WASHINGTON - Political gloom at the first Republican House of Representative caucus since elec- tions was not as thick as the leaders expected. Talking off the record and really letting their hair down, the lame-ducks among them especially emphasized one signifi- cant thing-that the COP should not waste time cussing out the Political Action Committee but should match its activities by a similar organization.
 It was a completely closed-door session, with newsmen barred, but here are the highlights.
 First part of the meeting was monopolized by Congressman Ber- trand Gearhart of California in a lengthy harangue on freezing Social Security taxes. He demanded a united COP front against tax increase. Most of his brethren agreed.
 Then Minority Leader Joe Martin discussed the elections, conducting a sort of seminar in which there seemed to be general agreement that Republican hopes had been too high-that, with the war still on. the natural desire not to change Administrations had been under rated Martin pointed to the need of strong Congressional Republi- can organization, with a first-rate staff functioning at all times. This is definite COP plan.
 Two lame ducks, Cal Johnson of Illinois and Bill Miller of Connec- ticut, spoke of the factors which had led to their defeat. Johnson had expected defeat for some months, therefore did not blame the PAC. He said, however, that PAC was highly important through out the country, and urged that Republicans not be ashamed to learn from the Hillman organiza- ton.
 "They are doing model job of education and propaganda" John son said, "and we've got to be realistic about it. We can't do better than follow their example"
 Miller of Connecticut admitted freely that PAC had been the most effective single organization against him. He urged that the PAC methods be studied closely.
 They are doing something we've got to do if we're going to keep our party alive" Miller said. They're getting to the people with their story more effectively than any other group"

BACK TO COMMON MAN

Reid Murray, reactionary Wis consin farm bloc member, then told his COP colleagues: "The Re publican party must get back tc the common man. We're keeping close to our farm populations, and it's up to you people in the in- dustrial districts to keep close tc labor and be certain labor will gc along with you"
 Ben Jensen of Iowa chimed in to say: Instead of quarreling with labor, we Republicans have got tc go out of our way to win labor support. My district is agricultural and you city men could do a lot worse than study the way we farm people have worked to stay close to our constituents"
 Only discordant note, so far as PAC was concerned, was struck by lame-duck Ham" Fish, who ranted about Communist control" of the PAC. He remanded that Clarence Brown of Ohio explain what his House Campaign Expenditures Committee had done about ex- posing Reds in the PAC.
 Brown said the committee was too busy to do very much on the

BULLETIN--PARIS Dec. G. Americans of the Third Army forced the Saar River in six
 places today and won two-thirds of the French border town of
 Saareguemines, as artillery was
 turned on Germans who are
 withdrawing northward into the
 Saarland.
 Other assault teams beat down
 the last six miles toward burning
 Saarbrucken, the little Pittsburgh
 of the rich coal and iron basin
 and key to German defenses.
 Maj. Gen. Paul Baade's 35th
 Infantry Division overran Saar-
 eguemines against light resist
 ance. The Germans blew up all
 five bridges across the Saar in
 withdrawing into the third of
 the town still held by the enemy.
 PARIS, Dec 6-The Third Army today thrust a wide bridgehead across the Saar toward the north- west of invaded Saarlautern, en- tered Saareguemines and shelled the smoking factories of Saar- brucken over open gun-sights.
 At Saarlautern, where the Ameri- cans are mopping up the last fit- full opposition, Gen. Patton's as- sault troops are we'll within the Siegfried Line and are assaulting it's pillboxes, blockhouses, trenches and tank obstacles with flame throwers, cannon and bayonet.
 Stream Spanned
 The new Saar crossing was made along a two and one-half mile stretch between Saarlautern and Merzig by the Nineteenth Division, which spanned the stream in four places along the stretch. The or iginal crossing was made inside Saarlautern on an intact bridge.
 South of that city, late yesterday, the Thirty-Fifth Infantry Division advanced up to seven miles in liaison with tanks that entered the edge of Saareguemines itself. a major coal producer.
 Within Germany @

 Comparative quiet prevailed again on the Roer River front within 22 miles of Cologne. The United States First Army completed the capture of Bergstein on the edge of the Hurtgen Forest. The United States Ninth Army, to the north, reported only patrol activity. Action in the area between Julich and Linnich. the outskirts of both, have been reached. The British Second Army stood firm along the Maas River in Holland. The Canadians in the Arnheim Nj jmegen area were plagued by flood waters from the Rhine, loosed by German breaches in the dikes.
