Tolbukhin's troops were sweep

on an 18-1nile front from Wiesmath
west to the southwestern shores
of the Neusiedled Sc Qake). This
great defense barrier, outflanked,
was being by-passed by the mas
sive Soviet surge.
One mile from the lake shore,
the Russians seized in Hungary the
village of Kophaza, only three
miles southeast of Sopron, the last
big Hungarian fortress guarding vi
enna's southeastern approaches.
Threaten Sopron
Sopron also was threatened from
the south and southwest where Tol-
bukhin's advancing troops won Nee
kenmarky and Ritzing, five and
six miles from the fortress city.
The swift slash through enemy
defenses below the Neusieldler See
carried the Russians within 50
miles south of Vienna when they
captured Kophaza.
While these troops in southern
Europe threatened the German
Reich's second greatest city, the

last enemy troops in the Kuestrin
area, 80 miles east of the German
capital.
They killed or captured 6,170 en-
emy troops in the old citadel area
of kuestrin in the narrow neck OF
land between the Oder and Warthe
rivers, Moscow said.
A Emile Russian advance to-
ward Bradshaw was carved out
by Marshal Rodion Y. Mollnov-
sky's Second Ukranian Army
which captured Galanta, q miles
east of the city and 50 miles east
of Vienna, in an offensive north of
the Danube river. These troops
captured more than 80 other towns
and villages including Mira, 46
miles northeast of the Slovak cap
ital.
In southwestern Hungary, Mos
COW said that Marshal Tolbukhln S
troops had captured nearly 5000
enemy troops, including the COM
nander of the Third Hungarian
army corps.
Tolbukhin's fast driving spear
heads streaked across the plains
and rolling hills of southwestern
Hungard and reached the Austrian
frontier at captured Szentgotthard
in their closest approach to the
mountain city of Graz.
These forces were only "a miles
from the vital trunk railroad link
ing Vienna with the Italian port OF
Trieste at a point where the line
crosses from Austria into Yugo-
slavia south of Graz.
Tolbukhin's troops carved out
their gain Of almost mile-an-hour
along the south bank of the curvirg
Raba river. Fifteen miles behind
Szentgotthard, they crossed the
river to win the fortified town of
Kormend, and also won Vasvar,

Even so, he declared, it has

other 5 per cent in the following

urged enactment of legislation

6. Cut back construction of war

7. Make some increase" in the

for each coupon-and in the al
lotment for trucks.
While Byrnes asserted that "our
economy is stretched to its linn
it's he felt mo real apprehen-
sion for the future"
"a nation which has found the
way to produce for war while de-
veloping an unexcelled prosperity
for its people at home,' he de-
clared, "can surely find a way to
produce for peace to establish an
even higher standard Of living at
home and to aid in the establish
ment of higher standards of living
throughout the world.
"In this way we will find the
jobs for our returned soldiers and
for released war workers. In this
way we will gain the only benefit
to be derived from war, the re-
alization that as long as we work
together, as a people there is al
ways a promising future ahead. :"
Although he said the end of the
war in Europe is in sight, Byrnes
declined to tell reporters the date
that is being assumed and on
which reconversion plans are bas-
ed. He indicated that the recon
version machinery will be set in
motion whenever General Dwight
D. Eisenhower says that Germany
has surrendered Internationally
or that organized resistance has
ceased.

Refuse Reds Plea

headache developed this way to-
day:
1-Tass, Russian news agency,
announced that Russia accepted
and advocated the demand of the
Warsaw Polish government for an
invitation to the San Francisco
conference. In fact, Moscow said
that it had suggested to Washing
ton and London some time ago
that if the proposed new Polish
government of national unity could
not be set up in time then the
Warsaw government should be
asked to send g delegation.
In London a British foreign
office spokesman said that the
Russian proposition is "out of the
question.
s-A short time later in Wash
ington a state department official,
otherwise unidentifiable, said that
because of the agreements reach
ed at Yalta to set up the national
unity government h e United
States government does not agree
to the extension of an invitation
to the present provisional govern
ment of Poland.
The American position, it was
said by this official, was taken in
view of the current consultations
in Moscow respecting formation of
the new unity government.
1t seemed possible that one Rus
sian counter-move would be to find
some excuse for calling off these
consultations in order to eliminate
that reason for the American re-
lection of the Russian demand.
This is the second time that
Britain and the United States have
been confronted with the question
Of Polish representation at San
Francisco. Previously it was rails
ed with respect to the Polish exil-
ed government at London when
that regime protested against the
treatment it was receiving. The
exile government at London is
recognized by both Britain and the
United States and is a member
of the United Nations.
Today's developments brought
this one immediate question to the
tip of many tongues:
'What effect will this have on
the move to accept Argentina into
the United Nations?"
1t has been expected that the
present government of Argentina
soon will be recognized by the
American republics and that Rus
STA along with the other leading
united nations will be asked to
agree to Argentina's becoming a
united nation and being repre-
scented in some form at San Fran
cisco.
Moscow all along has been the
most outspoken of the United Ma
tons on the pro-Axis charges
made against the Argentine gov
eminent and it has been expected
here that the Soviets would prob
ably want to veto any suggestion
that Argentina be included in the
California meetins.
It seems certain that this situa-
ton would become entangled with
the Polish issue, assuming that
they both reach the stage of ne

ments.
