RED FORCES
SMASH WAY
INTO BUDAPEST

MOSCOW, Jan. 3. - (AP> -
Russian storm forces are smash
ing their way through bloody
Budapest in probably the fierc-
est house-to- house fighting
since the battle of Stalingrad, it
has been reported today.
The Red forces are making
progress in what the official an
nouncements called fierce en-
counters with. fortified houses,
courtyards, and cellars.
Soviet troops yesterday cap
tured 232 blocks in the west
part of the city, and SO blocks
east of the Danube, on the op-
posite bank.
On a basis of preliminary re-
ports, it is believed in Moscow
that the enemy garrison has al
ready lost 10000 dead and pos
sibly another 10000 wounded.
The Red Army has not Off
cially estimated the strength of
the trapped garrison, but Col.
Fen Voros, minister of defense
of the Hungarian government,
recently set up in the Russians
held territory, said last night
that the total may run as high
as $4,000 to 100000 Germans
plus 10000 Hungarians.
With the advances made yes
terday, the Red Army now have
approximately 1000 prisoners.
The Russians now hold nearly
1000 blocks of the battered city.
How 100000 civilians are
covering inside the city and
how they are surviving within
the city can only be imagined.

PENETRATION
MADE in NORTH
JAP WATERS
By JIM HUTCHINSON


GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP
PINES, Jan. 3.-(APl-Formosa
has figured for the first time in
a communique from this head
quarters, in an announcement to-
day that Navy patrol planes at
tached to Gen. MacArthur's
southwest Pacific command,
made a penetration in the north
into Japanese waters.
The connnunique reported the
first strike in the southwest
Pacific so far north of the Phil
ippines, and said that they had
downed four japanese planes
and E. set fire to five coastal
freighters on the east and south
of Formosa. The Pacific coast
carrier task force planes raided
Formosa early in October in that
long-held japanese island.
This new long range blow
came after fighter and bomber
planes began operating in Leyte
and Mindoro fields, in the CEN
trail Philippines. They have been
hammering targets for shipping
in the vital Luzon Island area,
and have struck at warehouses,
railroad installations, power
plants and wharves.
Southern Luzon was also at

medium bombers operating over
Luzon.
North of Manila they caused
fires and explosions and sank a
'2,000-ton merchantmen and

DOUCHBOYS
STOP GERMAN
ADVANCES

PARIS, Jan. 3.-(AP)-The U.
S. Third and Seventh Army
troops have slowed or halted the
German jabs in nearly half a
dozen places, against their posi-
lions from the Saarbrucken to
the Rhine, it has been revealed.
In Belgium the lunge of Third
Army forces, spearheaded to new
positions four miles to the north
east of Bastogne.
Amid growing indications that
the Nazis are making withdraw
ais, the German command de-
clared that eight u. S. divisions
have been hurled into the battle
in an effort to ring the Nazi
positions in the Bastogne sector.
They suggested that SOME no.
600 Americans are assaulting
that sector alone.
The Germans added that since
their offensive started in De-
cember 10Th, the American cas-
ualties have exceeded $4,000.
They also claimed they have
gained up to two miles in one
area while fighting against the
Third and Seventh Armies in
the south.
While fighting in the Belgian
salient, which approached some
thing like a stalemate in patch
.es, the doughboys in the south
fell back at first before the Ger
man drive which was braked
yesterday and then halted.
In the advance On the lower
Vosges and southeast Maginot
Line, the stronghold, headquar-
tiers said the Germans had cross
ed the Blies river, but were not
specific. It is supposed that the
communicate referred TO the re-
gion east of Saaregumeins.
The bulletin said tanks raced
in a drive in the southeast of
Bitche, which forced the u. S.
units to give ground. However,
Nazi thrusts were either slowed
or stopped.
The German attacks were
marked by a surprising lack Of
artillery, and nowhere achieved
anything like the proportion
which was reported in Won
Rundtstedt's pre- Christmas
smash on the northern front.
A front line dispatch said the
attacks could not be classified as
either a major offensive or
limited push. If the latter. it
may be presumed this diversion
will relieve the pressure On the
Belgium front.
Cold weather curtailed tacti-
cal air support on both sides.

Tire Quota Unchanged
As End Of Rationinu
By Jan. lis Indicated

The December ALLEGATION of pas
tsenger tires for rationing will re-
main unchanged at 2,5OO.0O but
there is fresh evidence that the end
OF tire rationing may come by the
first of the year.
| OPA, in announcing the same
quota for next month as authorized
IN the past six months, said pro-
duction has increased considerably
in recent weeks and that barring
work stoppages manufacturers ex-
pect to reach the goal of II 900 900
tires for the fourth quarter.
Officials decided on the 2.5G0 600
tire quota for December despite in
creased output, in order to permit
1obbers and numerous tire outlets to
stock up for the time when an OPA
tire certificate is no longer reuuired
They point out that it would be
better to have good stockpile of
tires on hand when motorists stage
"a rush on tire stores, than to end
rationing now before stocks are re-
plenished.
Meanwhile, the number of tires
available to the public may be aug
mented somewhat as a result of |
work stoppages in the automobile |
industry.
Here's the reason: The Civilian
Production Administration limits |
auto manufacturers to a 15-day in
ventory of new tires. Strikes or
ShutdoWns in the industry have the
effect of freezing manufacturers
inventories.
Thus tires which ordinarily would
go to car manufacturers are di-
verted to tire dealers.
1t was learned also that termina-
ton of truck tire rationing had |
been scheduled for December /, but
that this plan has been revised in
favor of ending all tire rationing at
the same time.
The Districts ALLEGATION of pas
senger tires for December is 8,0l9. /
approximately the same as in No.
vember.

With the leading Tribune AC idle. second -place defending City Anna teur League baseball champions, Aviglianese lost a big chance to move up on the Tribes; when the Eagles soundly drubbed the Avigs. 5-1 yesterday at Hamilton Park. As a result, Tribes now have a full two game edge; and though stil! in sec ond place, the Avigs have now lost as many games as Roy Murphy's Eagles, though winning 6 against 5 for the latter club, which got five hit pitching from Gerry Flood yes- terday while the Avigs juggled the ball badly in the sixth inning, csor. ing two runs, scoring two more in the eighth. Lefty Larandeau led the 10-hit Eagle attack on Yosh Kinel, the Bristol boy hitting safely three times.

 More spectators saw the two GAL games yesterday than at any other time this season. It was "Joe Jan netty Day" honoring the 16 year league player now with the Avigs, Joe getting one of the five hits off Flood.

 3 Games Ahead

frying to forget game full of miscues which they won Saturday night, 8-6 from the Jersey City An- chors, the Fred Davi Brasscos await ed sturdier opposition at home and abroad this week. On Wednesday night, they will try for fifteenth victory in 16 starts this season, when opposed by the Newburgh, N. Y, Stars, featuring Bill Lohrman, former N. Y. Giant pitcher.
 On Friday night, the Brasscos tangle with the famed New York Bushwicks, at the Dexter Park oval in Brooklyn; while they meet the New London Sub-Base team Satur- day night at the Municipal Stadium herc; the BrasScos to be opposed by several former teammates includ- ing Jimmy Gleeson, ex-Chicago Cubs outfielder and heavy-hitter.
 No Time Lost
 Last Saturdays game was played in less than two hours, with not more than 800 fans on hand to see game including 10 errors, five charged against the same player. Jersey City Anchors took an early 2-1 lead but 8 flve run seventh inning for the Brasscos settled the game. In the sixth and seventh, Waterbury got two more on a double by Jackson. single by Santillo and long home run to centerfield by Craig. Two were out in the ninth with the tying runs on base; after two runs scored on Torpe's double after the bases were filled by Grabeck who relieved Mueller on the Brassco mound. Mike DeLucia of the Brasscos had a good night at bat with three hits but made i've errors in the field.

IRA SoftbaII
 Loop Review

All games this week should be very close with the result 8 toss- up. In the last meeting between U. s. Time and Somers, Time won 2-1 but as Somers is playing real heads up ball, we can expect to see a different ending to this game. Bucky Buckingham's Waterbury Co.'s boys are going tosee if they can spoil Brownell's record. Up until Somers scored two runs in the 5th inning of the game against Tool, Brownell had pitched 40 complete scoreless innings.
 Benrus and Lux battled Il in nings to A tie last Tuesday so we are starting them at each other again on Monday night at Hope vile with Vince Downey calling balls and strikes. Farrel Foundry is going great guns this round, hav- ing won both games played to date. BenruS also has a tough nut to crack on Tuesday when they line up gainst Tom Mariani's Brass men. Another good game that al- ways is interesting is the Lux vs. Connecticut Light & Power, in the first round their meeting was a tie game when they attempted to play it off they had another tie and on their third meeting c. L. & P. came through with win. One thing that the c. L. & P. has and that is they have the largest cheering section of any team in the league. Water bury Steel Ball had their week of nothing to do last week, so they should be in condition to take over Everett Connors Eyelet boys who have been playing a great game of late but lost a tough one to the BraSsmen last week.
