A big infantry and armored salient extending westward be

Long Mailing
Unless Parcels Sent Early
It is urged strenuously by local
postoffice authorities that per
sons mail Christmas packages
early to avoid confusion and a
last-minute rush because of slow
mall transportation and the lack
of sufficient trained employes,
both at the mailing and delivery
offices. ' ... -.
The postoffice here will not
have as many trained parcel post
receiving clerks as last year,
therefore fewer windows will be
open to take care of tho public
during the rush periods. Due to
this problem, patrons will be re
quired to stand in line longer
when mailing parcels unless they
take- advantage of the situation
and mail considerably earlier
than last year.

There was no official news
about Malinovsky s left flank
which has dug into Budapest's
southern suburbs, or about' the
extreme right flank of his army
which previously crossed the
upper Tisza in the direction of
the southern borders of Czecho

142,000 Casualties
The Russian war bulletin said
Malinovsky's army since Octo
ber 6 . had killed or captured
142,000 German and Hungarian
defenders of Budapest.
From the Uerman viewpoint
Malinovsky's new break-through
carried a double danger the
arrival of a rjowerfully strength

the Hungarian capital ana tne
serious threat that the Russians
might bypass- the city to the

no indication when the other
two-thirds 'might go into action
the developing drive was nauea
here as the probable beginning

reducing Budapest and driving

Battle For Philippine
Islands Toughened ,
By Arrival
By MURLIN SPENCEP.
GENERAL DOUGLAS Mac
ARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS,
Philippines, Nov. 10 (P) (Via
army radio) Running a gaunt,
let of harassing American planes
and PT-boals, 35,000 veteran
Japanese troops have joined tha
Sanguine battle for Leyte, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur disclosed to
day in an announcement which
indicates the battle for tha
Philippines may be long and
hard. . . . , - ... -.
The disclosure that despite
all American efforts the Jap
anese had succeeded in replac
ing their heavy losses suffered
in 22 days of fighting is hav.
ing a sobering etiect on the op
timism which followed the com
paratively easy initial landing. '
Advantage Runs Course
Gen. MacArthur. set forth the,
situation in a matter - of fact
manner. It is not viewed as pes
simistic. He has at hand more
than enough troops to handle
the enemy forces now arrayed
against him, but the , general
made it clear that the terrific
advantage gained by the sur
prise landings on Leyte's east
coast has about run its course.
The Japanese have been able!
to recover from the initial
shock, but with only their west
coast stronghold at Ormoc stilt
remaining to them. But they;
recovered in time to make an
least a determined stand for
the remainder of Leyte. .
Break Stalemate
Gen. MacArthur's communl-'
que today disclosed American
troops broke a four-day staled '
mate in the battle for Ormoc,
"with substantial gains on ' a;
wide front." Ormoc is in flames
as the result of artillery- and,

Validation of .
Divorce Sought j
By Heiress Duke
RENO. Nov. 10 UP) Heiress
Doris Duke, seeking to validate
her " December divorce from
James H. R. Cromwell, testified
by deposition today she was pre
pared at the time of their sep
aration in 1940 to set up a trust
fund for the former U. S. minis-?
ter to Canada.
"But." she added, "his de
mands were so exorbitant that I
refused to meet them and I will
not be frightened into meeting
tnem.
The statement was read into
divorce court records as the to
bacco heiress attempted to attest
her-bona fide Nevada residence
and to force Cromwell's New Jer
sey chancery court counter pro
ceedings into tne rteno action.
