 ing Budapest Garrison

MOSCOW, Jan II. The battle for Hungary has entered what appeared to be the final stages and the Germans are making an all-out effort to reach the collapsing Nazi garrison in Budapest before being outflanked by the westward Russian advance north of the Danube.
 From inside the devastated Cap- ital City. three fourths of which is now in Russian hands, a Red Star correspondent reported the Nazis have broken all Hungarian units attached to them.
 German regiments today repeated German counterattacks to the northwest of Budapest and have smashed Soviet forces threatening to cut the Nazi left flank.
 Northeast of Budapest, Red Army artillery has blocked all escape of the Nazi forces making determin- ed drive to break the Soviet arc. Already l4,700 Germans have been killed, front line dispatches state.

DELEGATES
 ATTACK COLE
 BILL TODAY
Measure to Put Territories Under Navy Control
 Is Opposed

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il = Dele gates to Congress from Hawaii and Alaska today declared the bill re- gently introduced by Representative Sterling w. Cole, New York Demo- crat, would mean the loss of state hood, perhaps forever" for their territories.
 Sounding the opening gun in the battle against the measure which would transfer control of the terri tories and island possessions from the Interior Department to the Navy, Delegates Joseph R. Earring ton of Hawaii and E. L. Bartlett of Alaska contended it would constitute denial of those prin- ciples of government upon which our nation is founded
 Joint Statement In a joint statement the dele gates denounced the proposal as contrary to Democratic principles of civilian self-government and maintained
 O-It violates principles that have always governed relations be- tween the Federal government and the territories by destroying the unique, traditional status enjoyed by the territories as an integral part of the country"
 @ = Subordinate administration of civil affairs to naval authority t3)-It would constitute a step toward development of colonial policy following the European pat tern. under which territories are delegated an inferior status. (4-It would violate the prin- ciple of equal treatment with the states which are accorded the in- corporated territories of Hawai- and Alaska under U. s. laws anc court rulings. Territorial residents except in congressional representa- tion and presidential elections now have the right to vote in their owr top officials.
 t5)-It is contrary to principles of better government.
 t6) - It violates the wishes of ar overwhelming majority of the people of both territories"
 Criticism of the bill by the dele gates follows pronounced opposi- tion to the Cole measure by Sec retary of the Interior Harold L Ickes.

REICH TROOPS FROM NORWAY
 NOW IN ITALY

ROME, Jan. II. = Nazi troops shifted from Norway have been thrown into the Battle of Italy" with orders from Hitler to hold the Reno River line in the Adriatic sec- tor at, All costs,' according to Ger man prisoners captured in fighting yesterday.
 Ten prisoners, all from the 710th German Division, formerly assign ed to a coastal defense role in Nor way, were taken when Allied Eighth Army units counter attacked an enemy patrol on the south bank of the Reno River. Nazi resistance has already stiffened considerably along this East-West waterway and the strip of land between Valli di Co., macchio and the Adriatic, where an escape line is still open to the enemy after the Nazl flight from San Az berto.
 Meanwhile, drifted snow and icy roads have continued to confine ac- ton all along the Fifth and Eighth Army fronts to patrol operations.

Singapore is Bombed Again By Superioris

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l-Super- forts blasted shipping installations of the Japanese naval base at Singapore today for the second time with good results" reports the War Department.
 The raid was apparently aimed at pinning down Jap naval units at the big base while Gen. Mac Arthurs troops are carrying out the invasion of the Philippines and was hammered home by up- wards of 40 bombers from India.
 Roaring in during early morning hours, the bombers may have caught the enemy off guard since only ''meager and inaccurate" anti aircraft fire was encountered. Four enemy fighters which rose to meet the raiders were downed by Super fortress gunners, and one probably was downed Twelve were damaged
 None of the Superforts were lost to enemy action, the communique reported without saying whether all returned safely to their bases
 The communique disclosed that two Superforts are missing from the raid made on Tokyo Tuesday believed to be lost as the result of enemy action" An additional report on the raid showed that Saipan- based Superforts destroyed i4 Jap planes and probably de- stroyed three and damaged nine others.

BOND VOTE FOR WATER
 DEAL LOST

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 11-Thirteen is borne out as the unlucky number in this Golden Heart City, at least for those who had hoped for $350,- 900 bond issue here for new water system work.
 It was by the slim margin of 13 votes that the proposed bond issue for new water system was defeated here yesterday.
 In favor of the issue were 421 voters, with PAT against it, just 13 votes short of the required 65 per- cent
 The bonds would have provided the city's 20 percent share in project approved by the Federal Works Agency for grant of $1,- 403,000 The money would have come to Fairbanks as a war-related need

PARIS, Jan. 11.-British patrols stabbed 10 miles into the collapsing western end of the Ardennes sal tent and reached the vicinity ot Champion on the north-south road between Laroche and Sthubert.
 The Germans quickened their skillful and orderly withdrawal through the deep snow as the Am erican First and Third Armies drove in from the north and south
 The British Second Army pursued the enemy through profuse mine fields from the west. The main British force is four miles behind the patrols which penetrated the Champion area and is almost through difficult Freyr, forest town 13 miles west of Houffalize, which the Germans may attempt to make the center of a new defense front shielding the eastern half of the bulge.
 The Allies captured the strategic road center of Laroche on the north side of the salient at 905 a. m. Patrols entered the town IA miles northwest of Bastogne yesterday and found it lightly held.
 The cruelest enemy of both sides is the continuing blizzard with tenn peratures nine degrees above zero Fahrenheit.
 Signs were that the Nazi com mander hopes to establish a new line 15 miles west of the German bor- der.
 Between Vielsalm, already entered by the U. s. First Army, Houffalize and the Bastogne sector dozen or more towns fell By latest reports, von Rundstedt pulled out of the toe of the Ardennes sock with all pos sible speed.
 A German m m u Il que an- nounced the withdrawal from the area west of the steep-banked Ourthe River, which flows through Laroche lin order to secure deep Hanks for the front in Ardennes.' '' The enemy claims to have liberated several towns in Alsace and Lor- raine, including Rimling.

 This advance force moved deli berately beyond Bohol Island to within nine miles of Negros Island, then into Sulu Sea, thence past Negros and Mindoro through Apo Pass into the China Sea toward Luzon in successive chains as en- emy spotters goggled from hilltop posts.
 Behind this advance formation came three other formations, even larger than the vanguard.
 It was the largest armada ever assembled on the Pacific Ocean, oyer 800 vessels.

MACARTHUR HEADQUART- FRS, LUZON ISLAND, Thursday, Jan. H. Under the impetus of Tuesday mornings power-packed landing. American troops by midday Wednesday had carved out Luzon beachhead Is miles wide and aver aging four miles deep, still finding no opposition.
 They captured four key towns and an airstrip less than l20 miles north of Manila.
 MacArthur's communique, the second from the Luzon headquart- CTS, announced that four separate beachheads along the Lingayen Gulf had been consolidated the first day of the almost bloodless invasion, from San Fabian to Lingayen.
 Macarthur said the enemy was completely deceived by the landing on his rear and was unable to bring up achievements from southern Iarhisland, This presaged the early opening of the real Luzon battle.
 Aerial Blasting
 Three key rail and highway bridges near Calumpit, 25 miles northwest of Manila, were destroyed by the aerial blasting of Luzon in support of the invasion. Virtually isolated. as were Americans three years ago. the Japanese force called upon dispersed garrisons to meet the formidable tank-led American Sixth Army driving southward from the gulf.
 Somewhere south of Lingayen, General Tomoyuka Yamashita, Jap- anese Philippines commander, must take stand. How much of stand will depend on how quickly and sue cessfully he succeeds in bringing troops from central Luzon in the face of day and night American air assaults.
