‘Reds Drive Narrow Wedge In

In Budapest Defense: Lines

LONDON, Dec. 18 (U, P.).—The

.Red army troops rammed a nar-

enemy’s northeast defense lines within five miles of the .capital. Far to the . northeast, other Soviet forces closed rap dn the Hungarian-Slovak frontier, A multi-pronged drive trapped thousands of Germans in the Bukka mountains, It also pojsed a new threat to the Slovak railway center of Kassa (Kosice).

Meanwhile, Nazi military spokes-

men were boasting that their stiff

defense had forced the Russians to “call off” the assault on Budapest.

A Moscow communique said shock

troops of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky’s 2d Ukrainian army cracked the center of a séven-mile high-| : way line running from Alag to

Bolnoka hill on the. northeastern approaches to Budapest. The Germans abandoned hundreds of their dead on the highway. At nightfall yesterday they were falling back slowly to Pest, fighting - hard for every yard of ground. Soviet front reports said the storming of Budapest was being-de-layed as much by weather and terrain as by the enemy resistance,

Pick-Up Girls One of Worst

Menaces to Men in Service

By ALBERT FANCHER Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Those two G. I.’s strolling through Times Square night after night may be out just for a good time. Or they may be two more victims of what a high police official calls “one of our worst rackets—the pick-up girl.” The formula is simple: Boys meet girls. Girls get money. Boys hunt girls. “That's what happened to two young army lieutenants, here on leave,” said the police official. “They went for a taxi ride with a couple of girls they picked up. When they parted, one officer found he had lost all his money. The boys put in several nights of detective work and finally spotted the same two girls. But the money was gone.” 2 =» . PICK-UP girls, it appears, are the worst menace to servicemen. They are particularly partial to sailors on shore leave who often have just been paid quite large sums and are lookifig for places to spend it. ‘The girls know such ‘places, and are adept at lifting a purse or a money belt. » This isn’t confined to New York. It happens in other cities where servicemen come an furlough. And it will be worse, much worse, after the war, this police official believes, when the men hit town with their discharge pay and other money from the government. ” » ” BUT pick-up girls aren't the only threat to the money of servicemen and war workers. Dis-

One estimate based on a survey is‘that at least 480,000 new firms may be started by veterans, with federal assistance, . Figuring government aid at the maximum of $2000 each, that would produce the alluring total ot$920,000,000. » ” » A PREVIEW of one possible fraud comes from an official with the department of commerce. A veteran came to him for advice

friend.” The friend's name was warningly familiar to the executive. And no wonder. The office files revealed that the man had a bad record. The partnership might have cost the veteran all he had, plus his G. I. loan, plus the bad debts of his partner. Uncle Sam is doing. all he can to insure a prosperous civilian future for servicemen. And no one knows that better than those who make a living through fraud, swindle and theft.
