CLASH PENDING ‘ON BONUS BILL
Governor and Policy Group Opposed to Democrat Minority Measure. .

tonight and prepare a. veterans’ bonus bill. \ “Civilians are all making more money through war earnings and some of this extra cash floating around ought to be saved for the soldiers who are fighting the ‘war for us at $50 a month,” Rep. Heller
said.
Connected With Memorial
The argument back of the state bonus plan is connected with the administration’s plans to cnlarge the American Legion's national headquarters here-with state funds and
erect some war memorial plaques. “I.believe most of the soldiers wlio have endured the foxholes for three or four years would rather have a bonus to help them along in postwar civilian life than to see the money spent for more buildings on the war memorial plaza,” Rep. Heller said. However, Republicans are expected to stick by their guns and beat down any lobby pressure to pass a bonus measure, Meanwhile, a special conference of the Republican policy committee with Governor Gates was called for this afternoon in an effort to reach some agreement among party leaders oh several pieces of controversial legislation. The committee will hear the governor’s views on the proposed new election code which would provide for many changes in the state's election and registration machinery. It would take control of elections away - from county clerks and all other elected officials and place the machinery in the hands of a fulltime, salaried election board. Will Seek Compromise Committee members will seek a compromise on some of the bill's provisions, especially those calling for higher costs and the clause that would permit voters to cast ballots even though their names were not on the registration sheets.

They were entrenched in stone houses among the hills. The Russians threw back two German relief columns 15 miles from Budapest. i The Nazi effort to save the.survivors of the Budapest garrison appeared to have spent its force.
Nazis Face Envelopment

Late Moscow dispatches said a powerful Soviet flanking force north of the Danube had fought its way to the outskirts of Komarno. This is more than 30 miles behind the German vanguards. The Reds were threatening momentarily to cut the Nazi supply line to Austria. Russian guns and flamethrowers turned back the German advance on Budapest yesterday after panzer columns had wedged deep into their iines in the Pilis hills northwest of the city and around Bicske, on the western approaches, More than 1200 Germans were killed in a swaying, day-long battle. The Nazis threw in waves of tanks and infantry in a desperate attempt to breach the Russian siege line. More than three-quarters of Budapest was in Soviet hands.

The 3d armored division fighting in the . area of Petite-Langlir knocked out two of four tanks engaged south of Bihain. Prisoners said the enemy had at least 12 i tanks in the neighborhood. After. capturing La Roche, the Americans pushed on to the southwest and blocked the road coming up from St. Hubert, which the British had cut farther southwest. All accounts indicated that the Nazi retreat still was being conducted in good ordet over the snowclogged roads remaining open in the center of the salient. (London newspapers quoted a Berlin dispatch of the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet ag saying that the Ardennes salient had been reduced to six miles at its narrowest point. The German forces wouid be withdrawn into the Siegfried line “at any moment,” the dispatch said.)

First reports said the Americans met no opposition in their advance, but they were moving cautiously to avoid a possible Nazi ambush.

Correspondents at the front estimated that the salient, which once measured almost 1400 square miles, had been compressed to about 180 miles. First word of the German retreat, which appeared to mark the closing phase of the Battle of the Ardennes, came in a front dispatch from Cunningham, Cut Into Salient Cunningham reported that two American army corps, the 5th and
the 18th airborne,- were cutting down into the base of the enemy
salient.
This appeared to be the opening blow of a drive to envelop and destroy the fleeing Germans. Patrols of the 18th airborne corps, he said, pushed ‘‘deeply” south of Malmedy and east of Stavelot today without making contact with the enemy.

Nazis Pulling Out
United Press correspondent Robert Richards reported that the Nermans appeared to be pulling out of the Bastogne area to the north and northeast, screening their flight by “cheap counter-attacks in platoon §trength.” Ten miles west of Bastogne, the Americans cut the only good road
