Fighting Fury’ Grows

“The desperate plight of the defenders was indicated by a German communique which reported that “the “fury of the fighting for Budapest grew” and the garrison warded off continuous Soviet attacks, often in hand to hand fighting. Moscow reported scenes of terrible ‘desolation in. = sections . of Budapest abandoned by the Germans in their retreat toward the center of the city. Streets were choked with household furnishings thrown out of win« dows by German gunners fo make .Yoom for their nests of résistance.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-(U. P).— Plans for another “big three” conference to iron out differences betwéen the allids appeared today to hinge” chiefly on word from Josef

Prime Minister Winston Churchill has called repeatedly for a quick meeting with - Mr. Roosevelt and Stalin. The President has been somewhat less fervent, but has said repeatedly that he hoped a conference can be arranged. From Stalin, however, there has been no similar public expression.
