The Superfort pilots took Nag- oya by surprise. They headed to- warded Tokyo then suddenly veer- rd to Nagoya. 105 miles southwest. They went over the massed indus- trial targets slowed by headwinds. They flew 3,000 to 4,000 feet lower than usual. Both these factors should have added greatly to the effectiveness of their bombing at-

Brig-Gen. Haywood Hansell said at a press conference that "the mission had been a success."

"Many bomb strikes have been obtained in the Mitsubishi Aircraft Works." he stated. "Damage was quite extensive. I am not prepared to assess that damage until I have had a chance to study photo- graphs, but I think it's a good mission." '

He added that early indications were that none of the 1329's was lost over the target.

Criticism 0f Britain, Russia In ll. S. Congress

WASHINGTON. Dec.‘ l3—(AP)—- Congress rang with loud and ang- IY debate over criticism of Britain and Russia‘ today, with Govem- merit supporters accusing the crit- ics ol ‘fcareless talk" which might Drolonk the war.

On the House of Representatives side a razor-edged exchange was touched of! by a Pennsylvania Coriilressmans attack on Prime Minister Churchill and British draft policies.

Mr. Churchill, declared Repres- entative Leon Gavin (Rep-Pa), "seems content to let us throw thousands of our boys into notion to carry on the fight, hundreds of whom are liquidated every day."

Up leaped Representative Luther A. Johnson. lkxas Democrat. shouting "the gentleman has ren- dered a disservice to his country and to the Allies."

Statements like Mr. Gavin's "should be suppressed," Mr. John- son declared. adding that “they are calculated to promote disunity, ‘prolong (he war and encourage Hitler."

At one point. Mr. Gavin told the

A lluaetsn threat to pest and Vienna is aha-ping Ip on the

map. It is even more ominous than that presented by the Rcrl Anny’: strong siege position before the doomed Hungarian capital which is com- plete from the west bank of the Danube below the city to its cast bank above.

North of Budapest and above the great bend of the Danube, the Russians hove driven a broad corridor virtually to Czechoslovakia. They have gained n. substantial footing in the valley of the Ipoly River that flows westward to enter the Danube at the western end of the gorge- like canyon through the Danube passed before it bends sharply south- ward to reach Bud/finest.

That canyon and the Borzsony Mountain mass north of it form strong natural barriers to any Russian direct advance on Vienna up ilic Danube, by-passing Budapest. However, the Russians seem in a. posi- tlon to sweep north around the Mountains and pour down into the great plain north of the Danube b ‘ Budapest and Vienna.

Whether that is'the Bus plan remains to be seen.

The Red grip on the volley of the Ipoly is a threat to German- Ilungnrian forces still clinging to the mountains of northeastern ilun- gary south of the Slovakian border. Red forces are expanding eastward up the Ipoly as wcll as westward. Another Russian spearhead is driving ncrthwcstvviirrl above captured Miskolc up the Sujo and Rimu valleys.

Birth columns appear aiming at the important Hungarian-Slovak- Ian frontier city of Losoncz. Should they effect a junction, nil enemy
