Report Hungarians March on Budapest

LONDON, Oct. 19 (U. P.). ~The ist Hungarian army, with 10 full divisions, was reported today marching on Budapest in a drive to liberate the capital from the Nazis after the majority of Hungary's armed forces deserted from German con-| trol, according to radio reports from the continent. At the same time, the Germans were said to have sent five divisions from the Reich to the hectic Budapest area, in an attempt to stabilize the Hungarian position, doubly threatened by a powerful Soviet drive from the east. The Nazis were reported to be . fearful that the new Soviet offensive through the Balkans may carry to Budapest by Saturday.
