OF Budapest Appears
Near as Foe CrumbIes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 2.-FaI OF
Buda, western section OF Buda-
pest, appeared today to be only
a matter OF hours as the Nazi
garrison crumbled before attack
ing Russian forces utilizing every
available weapon.
A communique broadcast eafly TO-
day from Moscow said the greatly
.outnumbered German and Hunga-
rian defenders had lost more than
1000 men killed yesterday in savage
street fighting and had been COM
pressed into an area less than Z
miles wide and a mile deep.
"a Cairo radio broadcast last
night said all the Germans had
been driven from Buda, but there
was no confirmation from RUS
sian or German sources0
Today's Russian commrnique also
said Soviet forces had occupied ZOO
additional blocks in Buda yesterday,
bringing to 900 the number now un-
der Russian domination. The Rus
slams knocked out "a German tanks
and 13 armored troop carriers ana
took 429 prisoners, the first big bag
of captives since the Soviet broke
through the western defenses OF the
capital several days ago.
Katushas, giant rocket mortars,
were brought into the capital on
fleets OF American-made trucks to
blast street Notifications. Desper-
ate German counterattacks with
tanks and self-propelled guns were
crushed in the overwhelming Red
Army assault with fame-throwers
and heavy guns that threatened to
demolish the battle-scarred capital.
Other Russian forces captured IA
more places and drove within two
miles of Losonc Gucenec), Slovak
communications hub on the Hun
garian frontier above Budapest.
Moscow reports said a new Of
fensive against Austria was expect
ed to get under way as soon as the
conquest of Budapest was completed.
The German high command was
reported to have included Vienna in
the Threatened zone" and started
partial evacuation and other emer-
gency measures in the Austrian cap
ttal.

BY the Associated Press.


ROME, Jan. Fifth Army
patrols today probed enemy posi-
tions in the Serchio Valley sector
of the Italian front, where the
short Lived Nazi thrust of last week
appears definitely ended.

came near the 9th Army right flank
in the Pc Valley. There a German
raiding party supported by mortar
fire crossed the Senio River south
west of Fusignano. Canadian troops

cast yesterday, We must realize that

ture security of our own Nation"
Alternative Is Tragedy"
1--WE can only aim for what is
desirable within the scope of what
Is attainable,' Mr.. Grew added, but
for the sake of our national way of
life and our as yet unborn genera
tions let us be prepared to give
whatever plan may ultimately
emerge from the eventual United
Nations conference a chance to sue
ceed, with implicit confidence that
by the process of trial and error it
will mature and prove effective
Whatever plan emerges from that
momentous conference must be
made to succeed, for the alternative
is utter tragedy"
Speaking on the same program,
Undersecretary of War Patterson
said that hopes of swift, easy
victory are gone" but added that
the Nation should not embrace the
counsel of despair"
Calling for greater efforts at home,
he said ultimate victory is assured
"if we permit nothing to turn us
from our purpose.
Mr. Patterson said the soldiers at
the front need food and clothing
snd must have more guns, shells,
tanks and aircraft.

necessity of freedom of news to a
lasting peace" and had advocated in
1919 declaration for freedom of

Essen, Germany, June 7-(UP)- The fortunes of war being what they are, Alfred Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach sat forlornly under guard in a modest cottage on his fabulous estate last night while I cut the biggest rug in jitterbury history in the great hall of the Palace Thar Arnlaments built.
 There were some bright young officers of the 17th Airborne Divis- ion jiving along with me and some pretty Red Cross girls and Army nurses.
 From the walls, members of the Krupp dynasty froWned down from paintings only another Krupp could love.
 Hey" yelled Col. Thomas Cry stal, of New York city, impulsively. I'll bet this is the best looking bunch of people ever to enter this house."
 Everybody cheered, even some non-Nazi German entertainers who didn't understand word he said The Krupp estate is one of those strange-by-products of war which an army finds on its hands.
 When Essen was captured, Am ercian patrols followed the broad private roads and came to the huge home-as high as an eight story-in which the trembling heir to one of the worlds largest for tunes resided.
 He was attended by a depleted staff of only 12O servants-it takes 150 to run the place.
 Krupp, a watery-eyed man still this side of 40, was moved into a cottage where the Allied experts asked him questions about his plants and products.
 The high-spirited 17th Division decided the main house was just the place for rest rcamp for visiting officers or technical experts and this crack outfit really runs it.
 They change guards with the same snap the British use at Buck ingham Palace and patrol with such elan that Alfred often casts aston ished eyes from his cottage windows as though wondering why the Ger man Army doesn't take lessons.

 After dinner everyone moved into the great hall, 125 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 50 feet high.
 There are a couple of other rooms in the house almost the same size, as well as a dozen or more reception, reading and music rooms (seven grand pianos and one mas sive pipe organ). There are 135 bed and sitting rooms.
 I lost count of the bathrooms but they are placed with strategic thoroughness.
 Adolf Hitler visited the Krupps at least three times but there art no pictures visible now. But there is a bound volume of German com muniques relating to the fall ot France which Hitler autographed to the effect that "so far, so good now for the next trip" That must have meant Russia.
 Later the butler showed me a DeMille-ish bathroom that Hitler used. Adolf should have stayed there.
