judges activity in his younger days, described the jurist as al- ways being "one of the boys. "He didn't forget that he stepped up the steps, or let his heart congeal and become an icicle," the speaker commented, continuing, His heart pumped the same human blood to that brilliant brain and pro- duced human thoughts"
 Attorney Cassidy said that ''hu- manity has been the magnet" of Judge Munger's character and that he allayed the fear of suffering in- justice to such an extent that lawyers have always scanned the assignment lists to look for his name.
 Mayor Monagan in expressing official muni ipal sentiments" stated there has been "an affection for him as warm and lovable per- sonality, and said his regard for humanity has been widely appre- ciated.
 Attorney Weisman commented that when a decision is rendered by Judge Munger against a man or lawyer he can accept it and feel that the judge who rendered it was right. Describing him as "one of the greatest members of the bar," the speaker extended wishes of the law yers for his happiness and health.
 The bar dean, MT. Bronson, spoke of the changes in practice of law during the 60 years he has been a lawyer. He spoke of the changes in the relations between members of the bar and the comradship which has developed. and expressed the hope Judge Munger would always remember the scene in the court room during the ceremonies.
 Judge Munger, in his brief and simple comments at the close of the exercises said, "A lot of happy things have happened in my life .. but have never before been more happy than now" He said that as he looks back at the past he will al- ways remember ''this room," I don't know any words that I could give to tell you how much this means to me-" he stated.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald, Attorney Cassidy Attorney Marcus Weisman and Sheriff Albert Francis served as the escort com- mittee.
 Greetings of the bar also were ex- pressed by President Healey to Com mon Pleas Court Judge John T. Cullinan, who was present at the ceremonies, and to Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas J. Wall. Both vii complete assignments in Water bury today.

 At the southern end of the front, Russian mountain troops were con- verging on the Slovak border city of Losono Gucenec) from the east and south. They had battled to within 20 miles or less of junction that would encircle the last Ger man army in northeast Hungary.
 Far to the southwest, massive Russian and German ground and air forces were reported locked in what apeared to be the decisive bat tie for Budapest and the Balaton gateway to Austria.
 Berlin said upwards of 100000 Red Army infantrymen were bat tling into the 50-mile gap between Budapest and Lake Balaton in an attempt to swing in behind the capital and close off the last es- cape route northwest to Vienne.
 At the same time, the Germans said reinforced Soviet divisions were redoubling their efforts to break in- to Budapest from the northeast and east.
 Attacking in the wage of a tre- mendous three-day artillery bom- bardment that raked up and down the Balaton corridor, the Soviets by German admission preached the Nazi Qualifications at a number of points in the T1hany sector, IS miles northeast of the lake.
 Berlin said strong German re- serves were hurled into the battle, but it admitted that the issue was still in doubt and that the bulk of the Russian ramor had not yet been engaged
 There was no immediate confir- nation from Moscow of the report ed offensive, which Berlin said was supported by hundreds of Soviet planes.
 Today's Russian communique cen- tered again on the battle along the Slovak-H Hungarian border where units of Marshal Rodion Y. Mali novsky's Second Ukrainian Army hooked in over rugged mountain trails ten miles or less east of Losonc and about l6 miles south Of

the city.
 Tens of thousands of German and Hungarian troops were pulling back rapidly on Losonc, control point for the railway lines of south-central Slovakia, in a desperate attempt to escape the closing trap, and it ap- peared likely that many of them would break clear.
 Fresh German Alpine units put up a strong rear guard fight all along the Axis line of retreat. and Societ front dispatches acknowl- edged that the combination of rought terrain and stiff opposition was slowing the Red Army advance.
 One Red Army column advanced six miles west of Janosvce to cap- ture Lyukva, Il miles east of Losonc, and pushed on over roadleS country toward the rail center. A second spearhead fought its way into Ri- mavska Sobota, 16 miles northeast of Losonc on direct connecting highway. and seized the town after an all-night street battle.
 More than 50 border towns and villages were taken by the advancing Soviets on that sector and farther to the south where Malinovsky's s troops were hammering in on the highway junction of Petervasara, 30 miles southeast of Losonc in an attempt to seal off that end of the pocket.
 Farther to the west, other Red Army units pushed up from Nyires, 18 miles south of Losonc, narrowing the mouth fthe escape corrido to about 20 miles between their van- guards and the column moving in from Lyuka.
 Almost l,500 Germans and Hun garians were captured in yeSter- days fighting.

 This is an army or armies of Panzers without enough fuel. The enemy forces are under orders to capture and use all American vehi- cles, guns, ammunition and fuel pos- sible to counter-balance their lack of equipment.
 The hundreds of thousands of crack young infantrylnen who rode across France and Belgium in 1940 have been replaced largely by less trained and older member of the Volks Grenadier, or Peoples Army, now almost all afoot.
 Then thousands of Paratroopers floated down from hundreds of transport planes. This time fewer than 1000 paratroops altogether have been dropped, and most of them were second-class.
 An the Luftwaffe which ruled the skies unchallenged in 1940 has been reduced almost to impotency by the huge Allied air forces-now neu- tralized, however, by fog and mist that keeps all but few planes on the ground.

 Earlier evidence that the Ger mans have adopted at least lim- tied policy of murdering prisoners was borne out by other front dis patches. A German prisoner taken near Monschau on the First Army front quoted a high Nad officer as telling his men that he did not want to take prisoners because dead men are less cumbersome than live ones"
 Four German photographers seized on the First Army front showed the bodies of a number of Americans who apparently had been killed after surrendering their arms. Their bodies had been stripped of all normal equipment which soldiers carry into battle and even the shoes were missing from one.
 A high staff officer of the First Army suggested that the Germans had been "hopped up" with false stories of American atrocities in captured German villages, including tales of the rape of German girls.
