Dash for
Vienna

LONDON. Dec. 30 (UP)-
Russian armored divisions broke
across the Hron River barrier and
drove west through the Danube
Valley toward Bradshaw and
Vienna today while in Budapest
thousands of Nazi and Hungarian
troops fought on for the fifth
straight day In a suicidal battle
to delay the Red Army invasion
of Austria.
With major elements of their
Second and Third Ukrainian
armies still pinned down in the
struggle for Budapest, the Soviet
advance south Of the Danube ap-
peared to have been stalled mo-
mentarily about 80 miles from
Vienna, where the Germans were
making a determined stand on the
edge Of the Gyor Plain.
REINFORCEMENTs ARRIVE
The Moscow morning eommuni-
que made no mention of fighting
along the 55-mile front from the
Danube south to Lake Balaton,
but Berlin said the Russians were
reinforcing their lines after being
stopped by strong German coun-
terattacks.
To the north, however, the Rus
slams hurdled the Hron barrier
near its confluence with the DAN
ube and shook their armor loose
on the Bradshaw plain after a
savage, two-day battle that cost
the Germans 1000 casualties and

RIVER BARRIER CROSSED
The Hron. second of the six
Danube tributaries covering the
eastern approaches to Vienna, was
forced by Red forces yesterday
with the capture of the west bank
towns of Mana and Parkan, II
miles southeast of Bratislava and
little more than 100 miles from
Vienna.
Inside Budapest, meanwhile,
one of the wars bloodiest street
battles ragged on through its fifth
day. Spanked by a fanatical core
of NaZi Elite Guards. the Axis
garrison was fighting until death
for partially ruined city that
the German high command itself
callously wrote off as of no
further military value except
that its prolonged defense might
delay the Soviet march on
Austria.
