into the eighth straight day with no sign that it was ready to capt- tulate.
 Nazi resistance appeared to have stiffened following the mo quarter proclamation, and Moscow admitted the fighting had become "deadlier and costlier' than ever. German tanks and infantry counter-attack- ed repeatedly in a vain effort to throw the Russians out of the city, but the communique said another 63 streets in Buda and 232 in the east bank section of Pest were cleared by the Soviets yesterday. Moscow indicated that the indus trial suburb of Ujpest was in Rus slant hands.
 Berlin said the heaviest fighting centered in the Var district of Buda the principal shopping section of the capital, and that the Soviets were storming the Hungarian Royal Palace overlooking the Danube.
 Hundreds of Axis troops were killed yesterday and another 1000 were taken prisoner - apparently Hungarians, who, according to members of the provisional Hun garian government recently arrived in Moscow, formed a minor part of the Budapest garrison.
 Moscow dispatches quoted the Hungarian armistice delegates there as saying that the Germans had left at least 80O00 troops to hold Budapest to hte last to win time for the defense of Vienna. They pre- dicted that the fall of Buda would collapse the Nad resistance across the river in Pest.
