 ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE

MOSCoW-The last stark chap ter in the siege of Budapest is being written on a narrow strip of Pest on the east bank of the Dan ube with the Nazis squeezed into an area approximately two miles long and one mile wide.
 Savage German attacks on the Soviet arc west of the Danube to relieve the desperately struggling Nazi garrison failed again Marshal TOlbukkin is reported strengthen ing his position and there appeared little likelihood Of any German breakthrOugh.
 In 10 days fighting 10 relieve Budapest the Germans sacrificed l6,O00 men killed and approximate ly 65O tanks. on the basis Of Ras- sian accounts. Official and unofi- cial Russian reports produced the impression that the German garri- son is on the verge of collapse, and these reports have stirred hopes among the Soviet public that Buda- pest, under direct assault since De- cember 29, will be fully fin the Red Army's possession within a day or two.

TANK PLANES RAID
 IND0-CHINA COAST

USPFH, Pearl Harbor - Carrier planes attacked the enemy off the coast of French Indo-China" Admi- ral Chester W. Nimitz announced. It seemed highly probable the Jap anese fleet was the target.
 Nimitz cryptically stated the as- sault. constituting the U. S. fleets deepest penetration of Japan's in- ner defenses, fell between Saigon and Camranh Bay" He did not specify what was attacked, but 1t is very probable a Jap reinforcement convoy escorted by warships was intercepted while setting out for Yank-invaded Luzon in the Philip pines.
 The pointedly brief communique said the blows fell off the coast. D The Camranh coast east of Saigon is one of the finest natural harbors in Asia and has large protected anchorage for capitaI waTshiDs.

 Their deepest spearhead. that of It. Gen. Krueger's Sixth Army un- it's, has been advancing two days as far and as fast as reasonable eau ton and the movement of supplies permitted. The Tanks have taken nine towns and more than score of villages The advance has car ried the Americans well south of the maze of swamp country at the mouth of the meandering Agno river, and across the river. line along which the Japanese might have been able to make a delaying stand. Only on the extreme left flank along the Posorublo road have the Tanks run into anything more than isolated and quickly ellminat- ed sniper resistance.

U. S. BUDGET ESTIMATE
 IS 83 BILLION DOLLARS

WASHINGTON - President Roo sevelt sent congress an 83-billion- dollar budget which he said might swing more than 10 billion dollars up or down, all depending upon the war
 The President refused to predict when the shooting will stop in Eu- rope, or anywhere else. He told con gress. my only prediction is that our enemies will be totally defeat ed when we lay down our arms"
 At a moment when fighting all over the globe reaches a climax of fury" Roosevelt sent the annual budget message for the fiscal year of 1946, starting July 1.
 In the budget he estimated that the total government spending would be 83 billion dollars, the lowest in three years, being nearly IT billion below the record spend ing of 100 billion during the fiscal year of 1945, now half over.
 He based his 83-billion figure on a guess that the war would require 70 billion and the other 13 billion would be needed for ordinary gov ernment expenses, benefits to vet erans and for interest on public debt refunds to taxpayers

first of next week on the North Sea to attend the 17th session of the territorial legislature. Mrs. Hanford had planned to accompany her husband, but the illness of her sisters husband, Van II. Fisk, made it advisable for her to remain here
 Among the measures to be pre- sented by Rep. Hanford is a bill for the improvement of Stikine avenue from the territorial road funds, to be administered by the highway en- gineer. The bill proposes a sea wall and paved highway along the shoulder fronting { h e Federal building, and providing for lights and benches to improve the ap- pearance and usefulness of the area. The estimated cost is expect to be around $1O,OOO, and since Wrangell has had no appropriations from the road funds since 1887, and a surplus exists besides the current appropriations, it seems reasonable to hope the bill will re- ceive favorable action.
 MT. Hanford will also support bill for a retirement fund for ter ritorial school teachers, and measure providing compensation benefits for fishermen who at present have no such protection, being outside the scope of the So- cial Security setup. At the present time fishermen pay a dollar a year for a license and the proposed 6ill would raise this amount to six dol lars year, which would be matched from territorial funds Out for sickness and accidents to fish ermen would be available, and it is proposed to invest any surplus in government bonds, and gradually build up a substantial reserve. Mi F1anford states that none of the fishermen with whom he has talked objects to the increased tax for this purpose Such a bill was first pro- posed in the 1887 legislature by Mir. HanfOrd, but since it was i'm possible to get it before the legis- lators until ten days before ad- iournment, it required a two-thirds vote of both houses. and did not pass.
 1 Again I wish to thank the peo- pie of Wrangell," Mir. Hanford said today, and of the first division for the confidence they have placed in me by their large vote in the gen eral election. It is my intention to do all within my power to further the interests and prosperity of Wrangell, the first division, and of the territory as a whole. I wei come any suggestions from indivi- duals or groups towards that end, and would be glad to receive let ters or personal calls while in Ju- neau. With the support and coop eration of all the people of this district, feel sure that much can be accomplished"
