LONDON, Feb. 13.--Budapest has fallen to two Russian armies that took 10000 captives in a month and half of bitter fighting, Pre- mier Stalin said tonight The fall of Budapest freed the Second and Third Ukrainian armies, under the command of Marshals Malinovsky and Tolbukin, for the drive to Vienna and Prague in con- cert with the First Ukrainian Army in Silesia, which is sweeping toward central Germany and along the Czechoslovak border.
 Enemy Encircled
 Stalin declared the Red Army men completed the routing" of the en- circled enemy of more than 10000 headed by German Commander, Col. Gen. Peter Wildenbruch. His staff was capture. along with large stores of arms and booty.
 Stalin termed Budapest the stra. logically important German defense center on the road to Vienna and ordered a victory salute of "A salvos from 324 guns.
 A DNB broadcast, said troops of Marshal Konev, north of Sagan, on the Bober River, were beating to- wards Somerfeld. IT miles below the Oder's southern bank, where zhukov's First White Russian Army is fighting. Somerfeld is 70 miles southeast of Berlin.
 A German communique said Kon- ev's troops were farther south. They burst over the Bober and reached the Queis River sector, five to 10 miles beyond the Queis River and five miles west of the Bober River at 3unzlau which was captured by the. Russians, and then spread 10 miles from the Bober River, farther north, before joining 1t just south of Sagan, 27 miles northwest of Bunzlau.

MOSCOW, Feb. 13 - The an- nouncement of the momentous de- cision reached by the Big Three" was given added significance to the Russian people with the presence of Edward R. Stettinius, American Secretary of State, on brief of ficial visit fresh from the historic conference in Crimea.
 Stettinius stepped off a plane at the Moscow airport late yesterday as the Soviet Capital City still buzzed with news of the doings of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 The choice of San Francisco as the site for the United Nations Security Conference on April 25 today fo- cused attention on the Pacific area as of prime importance in inter national collaboration after the war
 The only explanation for the choice immediately available is that San Francisco is a convenient place for many delegates who will be from South America and distant Pacific regions.
 Another explanation which has cropped up in speculation here was that the part of the United States tarthest from Europe would have

a profound political significance in this country.
 In agreeing on San Francisco the Big Three" had first to make decision as to which country would get the conference and next the particular place where the meeting should be held
 It is known President Roosevelt and his military advisers are anxi- ous to shift proper attention on the Pacific area as the war closes in Europe.
 San Francisco is also especially handy for Russian delegates as it is directly down the west coast from Alaska and major terminals of the air route between Moscow and the United States.

PARIS, Feb 13.--Canadians, drlv- ing through the ruins of Kleve, ad- vanced to within 20 miles of the Ruhr city of Wcsel, and within two miles of the Rhine industrial center of Emmerich against resistance that was suddenly trebled by commitment of seven crack Nazi divisions in the center
 The American Third Army mop ped up the road center of Pruem, whose capture placed Gen. George s. Patton's men within 45 males of the Rhine city of Coblenz.
 Nazis Lose Pruem
 The loss of Pruem and its arterial highways to Coblenz and Cologne, B miles northeast of Saarbrucken, 72 miles to the south, weakened the whole German defense system in the Eifel Mountains where 10 miles were gashed from the Siegfried Line.
 Continuing floods of the Roer River kept the American First, Ninth and British Second armies qulet along that crucial 50-nnile sector where the Germans trumpheted re- peatedly that Gen. Eisenhower was massing men and tanks for an of fensive on the Rhine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes is in an- other row with Congress, but this one probably won't make headlines. Rep.

Iokes says his police force, which patrols the District of Colum- bias miles of parks (15 per cent of the capitals total area) is more eff cient than the District coppers.

The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.j

WASHINGTON-The inside story can now be told of how the Big Three" Conference was postponed from last November to the present date.
 It is no longer secret that the President was supposed to meet Stalin and Churchill on November 22. immediately after the election. The man who especially wanted the meeting at that time was Churchill. Roosevelt at first had tentatively agreed to go, but Stalin was not willing to meet anyplace outside of Russia.
 The Soviet Chieftain said that he was busy directing the Red Army and couldn't afford to leave Russian territory, even to go such a short distance as Teheran. Also when he went to Teheran before, he caught cold and was laid up for a week. So this time Stalin politly refused to budge out of Russia.
 Roosevelt, meanwhile, felt that Stalin should at least be willing to meet him part way, inasmuch as he had already travelled half way round the world to Teheran to meet Stalin.
 This, however, was a relatively minor consideration. More import ant in the Presidents mind was the argument of some of his ad- visers that FD.R. would find him. self sitting in the middle between Stalin and Churchill, serving in the difficult capacity of mediator between the two. Harry Hopkins for one, thought his chief should avoid getting in the middle, at least until Russia and Britain had made further attempts to iron out some of their conflicting interests.
 CHURCHILL HIT CEILING
 Third reason for Roosevelt's de- laying the conference was the fact that he had just come through a stiff election campaign, needed a rest and time to clean up some of his domestic problems.
 Result of the postponement how ever, was that Churchill hit the ceiling. He felt the President was pretty much walking out on him, and the cables exchanged between the two men at that time lost their usual cordiality. It was at this time that some of Churchills Cabinet urged him to make minor conces-

Tells President
Bill Cunnot Pass

Washington (FP). = An Alabama
congressman, Rep. Carter Manasco
(D), visited the White House Oct. 26
to tell off the President of the U. S.
Manasco, chairman of the House
committee on executive department
expenditures, told newsmen after
wards he told President Truman
"there is little chance of passage of
the type of full employment bill" de-
cided by the chief executive.
The congressman went on to relate
how he told the President that he did
not believe the bill could be reported
out of Manassas committee without a
lot of amendments.
Immediately afterwards Manasco
presided over a session of his COM
mittee at which President Edward A.
O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau
Federation testified along the lines OF
the Alabaman's thinking against the
measure.
O'Neal saw a danger of socialism
leading to a totalitarian regime if the
federal government undertakes to
guarantee full-time, remunerative jobs
through passage of HR 2202.

HOLLYWOOD Strike Comes To End

Hollywood (FP).-The 33week-old
strike-l lockout of movie studio en-
ployes has ended with most of the
demands of the Conference of Studio
Unions (AFL) met, but with members

"This is a complete victory" He an

decision by the AFL executive council
meeting in Cincinnati, o., ended the

War Labor Bodrd
Bdns Appeals
And New Cases

Washington (FP). = The National
War Labor Board announced Oct. 16
that it would accept no new cases or
appeals in order to wind up it's work
by Jan. l.
Chairman Lloyd Garrison said the
WLB will accept appeals from direc-
tive orders issued by regional boards
and commissions, however, in cases in
which the directive was announced
prior to the present decision. The only
other exceptions will be in cases in
which a regional board has made an
order and the parties have not agreed
that the regional boards decision shall
be final.
After Oct. %, the WLB will act on
stipulation cases only and on these
will simply agree to name an arbitra-
tor. This will serve to relieve the WLB
of having to decide any new cases.
At press conference, Garrison ad-
mitted that the WLB hereafter may
have to determine policy on justifiable
wage increases involving maladjust-
ments and inequities, but said that its
action would be only advisory with

Labor Dept. Says
Repedl Strike
Vote, Retuin NLRB

Washington (FP) Faced with "an
almost impossible administrative job"
the Labor Department has joined the
NLRB in asking repeal of the Smith
Connally anti-strike act, with reten-
tion of certain sections.
Appearing before the House mill
tary affairs committee, Asst. Sec. of
Labor Daniel Tracy asked especially
repeal of Sec. 8. This section estab-
fishes the procedure for filing notices
of labor disputes, holding secret strike
votes and providing for the so-called
"cooling-off" period.
Instead of reducing labor disputes,
the bill has, in effect, so inscreased
the number of strikes that during the
week ending Oct. II, 1923 notices were
filed, as against IL for the same per-
iod last year.
While advocating repeal of Sec. 8,
Tracy asked that the seizure provision
of the act be retained, as it "may
prove useful in the event of emer-.
gency," promising that the power
would "be used sparingly."

Takes Action When
Taxes Are Not Paid

Cincinnati (FP).-The Internationa
Association of Machinists, largest
AFL affiliate, has been suspended
from the federation for failure to pay
per capita taxes on its 681 1862 mem
bers since last November, AFL Presi-
dent William Green announced here
The machinists owe the AFL be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 on the
basis of per capita taxes of 1Lac a
month a member on the first 100000
and 1c month a member on all over
100000. Basis for the machinists case,
which at one point led to the IAM's
quitting the AFL, is a jurisdictional
dispute over the making, erecting and
repairing of machinery between the
lam and the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Internationl Brother
hood of Operating Engineers.
Last November, date at which the
lam stopped paying per capita taxes,
the AFL executive council recon-
to it's annual convention that
jurisdiction of the engineers be up
held, although at the convention in
Boston the year before the lam re-
turned to the AFL on the understand
ing that some settlement favorable to
it would be worked out.
