TWIN RED THRUSTS
Malinovsky And Tolbukhin Driving To Austria NO NATURAL BARRIERS Rec. 10 a.m. LONDON, March 22. While Moscow remains silent regarding Marshal Malinovsky's and Marshal Tolbukhin's twin thrusts against Austria, Berlin reports to-day are clearly apprehensive. The German military spokesman reports that the Russians north-west of Tata have broken into Banhida, 18 miles south-east of IComarno, on the Danube front. Farther south the Russians have launched a fierce assault west of Kaposvar, south of Lake Balaton. The British United Press says that the recent German abortive attacks in the Lake Balaton sector were attempts to forestall this double drive menacing Vienna, Graz and the great Styria industrial basin of Austria. The Germans' failure to reach the Danube and hold the Drava bridgehead leaves them no natural barriers before Vienna and Graz.
