Soviet Army Smashes to

Within Eleven Miles of Budapest


Reds Storm
Suburbs of
Key Capital
Nazis Admit Breach
Of Defense Lines
By The Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 12-The Red Ar-
my today captured Godollo, last ma-
jor rail fortress 10%/2 miles northeast
of Budapest, the Russian communi-
que announced tonight, as other Mos-
cow advices said Soviet storm troops
had burst into the eastern suburbs of
the bombl and shell-torn Hungarian
capital.
Reds Advance
A Moscow broadcast said the Red
Army was pouring through a breach
carved in the northeast defenses of
the capital. Col. Ernst Von Hammer:
military authority for the German
news agency DNB, admitted it wa
"a great breach in our lines," bu
contended it had been sealed off lat-
er.
Besides the announced advance in
that direction, however, it also listed
the capture of Sajoszentpeter, im-
portant road junction 10 miles north
of Miskolc, 85 miles northeast of
Budapest, and named 10 other towns
captured in that area.
These included Berente, only 11
miles from the border of central Slo-
vakia, and indicated a drive north-
west up the Sajo river, out-flanking
the big bastion of Kassa, leaving it
behind on the northeast.
More Prisoners Taken
The communique said that Sunday
and Monday Marshal Rodion Y. Ma-
linovsky's second Ukraine army cap-
tured 1,850 German and Hungarian
officers and men, bringing the total
for the seven days from Dec. 5-11
to 7,450 in the fighting in the Buda-
pest area and to the north.
The Russians saidthey destroyed
or disabled 43, German tanks Mon-
day, and brought down 32 enemy
planes, indicating the ferocity of the
clashes between Soviet and Nazi
armored tanks and planes in the bat-
tle for Budapest.
The violence of the attack and the
gloomy tone of German broadcasts
indicated that the Hungarian capi-
tal's hours were numbered. There
was no direct evidence as yet that
the Germans were abandoning the
city, which is under assault from
three sides.
Shelling Budapest
A war reporter for the German
transocean agency declared that So-
viet guns had been pumping shells
into the capital for the last 36 hours.
"They fall on hotel terraces,
houses and squares and into the
Danube," he said. "Flames color
the gray December sky blood red."
The Paris radio reported violent
fighting in the Kispest suburban
district just southeast of Budapest.
Moscow said the Germans had
built a rigid anti-tank ring around
the city on the east bank of the
Danube, anchored in Ujpest on the
north and stretching to the town
of Csepel at the tip of the Danube
island of Csepel on the south.
Musical Hour
Will Be Given
The Student Religious Association
Music Hour will present two tone
poems by Richard Strauss, "Also
Sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spake
Zarathustra) and "Tod und Verk-
larung" (Death and Transfiguration)
at 7:30 p.m. today in the Lane Hall

library.
"Also Sprach Zarathustra," which
was inspired by the writings of Niet-
sche, is unique as a musical portrayal
of philosophical ideas.
RobertTaylor will brieflydiscuss
the background and the musical con-
tent of the selections.
As a special feature this week,
Kenneth Leisenring has loaned a
high-fidelity phonograph, said to be
one of the finest in Ann Arbor, on
which the recordings will be played.

In answer to the reported comment

Maddy stated that the school has
used its students in broadcasts as free

union musicians against competition
by school musicians while at the same
time protecting the rights of our

Dr. Maddy last year publically
charged Petrillo to cite one instance
within the last ten years when "the
broadcasting of any school band or
orchestra deprived any union musi-
cian of a dollar of income."

Editor's Note: This story was written for
the Daily by A. Albert.

Perhaps few of us will remember
the times. of President Roosevelt's
second term, but it was then, on
October 20th, 1938, to be exact, that+
the Union sponsored an excursion to
New Haven, Connecticut. The event
was the renewal of the intersectional
gridiron clash with Yale, after a
lapse of some 55 years. Through the
efforts of the Michigan Union an en-
tire train was chartered which would
transport the team, the band, the
alumni, and the 60 students who
made the trip.
The'"Whiskey Special" left Ann
Arbor on Thursday evening. As
a unique feature of the trip, one
car was renovated so that it served
as a dance floor on wheels. Ris-
ing to the occasion, a section of
Four ToAttend
Speech Meeting
Aiial Convcntion To
Be Held in Chicago
Four members of the Speechj
department will attend the twenty-
ninth annual convention of the Na-
tional Association of Teachers of
Speech in Chicago Dec. 28, 29, and
30.
As members 0o the Executive
Council, governing body of the Asso-
ciation, Prof. Louis M. Eich and Prof,
Kenneth G. Hance will be in atten-
dance for the entire session. In
addition, Prof. Eich will participate
in two programs, and Prof. Hance
will be in charge of one.
Prof. Ollie L. Backus of the De-
partment of Speech, Acting Manager
of the Speech Clinic, will present a
paper on "Rehabilitation of Aphasic
Veterans" at one of the programs of
the American Speech Correction As-
$ociation, which meets in conjunc-
tion with the National Association.
Dr. Donald E. Hargis of the De-
partment will participate in the pro-
gram on high school debating.

the Varsity band volunteered to
provide music for the dancing en
route to New York. Such new steps
as the "Big Apple" were much in
evidence.

Upon arrival in New York City
early Friday night, a grand parade
was formed which marched up 42nd
Street to the tune of "The Victors."
Incidentally, this was lead by one
Thomas E. Dewey, then a candidate
for governor of New York. Cheers
of "Tom! Tom! Tom! Rah! Rah!"
were heard from the Michigan root-
ers. The hotel headquarters in the
city were completely taken over, and
the hilarity was not discontinued, as
New York can certainly be said to
offer some "charms" for all.
Early the next morning the now
lethargic revelers entrained for Yale.
Rejuvenated by short naps, the group
merrily marched off the train in
New Haven. Since it was quite near
game time the students scurried to
the stadium where they enjoyably
witnessed a 15 to 13 victory for the
Wolverines, largely thrpugh the ef-
forts of some halfback named Har-
mon.
Brothers and sisters of the re-
speetive fraternities and sororities
were welcomed with open arms by
the chapters at old Eli. Although
?lacking the "P-Bell," countless
good substitutes were offered. There
the Michigan songs, dear to the
hearts of all students, were sung
over mugs of 3.2, or perhaps it
was stronger in those days. As the
strains of "College .gays" rang out,
those present felt that now they
really knew the meaning of the
words "college spirit" and "tradi-
tion."
The happy travelers were home-
ward bound for . Ann Arbor early
Sunday morning, and the more indu-
strious of the group were heading for
the books, if they really felt they had
to, on Sunday night. To say that a
good time was had by all was a gross
understatement.
Although another trip such as this
would not be possible in these days
of war and priorities, the Union has
not forgotten these former good
times, and intends in future years to
extend the opportunity again.

Strike Fails in
Grand Rapids
Only Two Schools

GRAND RAPIDS, Dec. 12.-(A')-
Grand Rapids public schools, with
the exception of two buildings, stayed
open Tuesday despite a strike called
by the building employes services

to get action on increased pay rate
demands,
Conciliation Requested
Although John M. Brjower'. boardl

day that "the strike is all over"
Frederick Read, union president said
his organization was standing behind
its decision not to work until concil-
iation started.
Majority of the school buildings
were operated by skeleton crews
with some outside help today. In one
instance an attorney, Gerald E.
White, fired the boiler while the
maintenance man attended a meet-
ing.
Ulthmatum Presented
A board of educatlion ;tatemnent
issued late Tuesday said only 29 out
of 162 employes failed to show up
Tuesday in face of an ultimatum to
work or lose their jobs. These men,
Brower said, are considered as hav-
ing quit.
However Read claimed an atten-
dance of between 50 and 75 workers
at meetings throughout the day and
that only a fraction of the member-
ship had actually returned to work.
