NEW ATTACK IN HUNGARY
LONDON, Dec. 22. "The lull on the Hungarian front is over," said the Berlin radio commentator "(von Hammer)-, enlarging on the Berlin radio's earlier assertion that the Russians had launched a new attack between Lake Balaton and the Danube. "Large Russian forces are preparing to cross Lake Balaton at its narrow waist where the Tibany Peninsula juts out. The Russians everywhere have replenished their forces and brought up ammunition and weapons." The Berlin radio added that the Red Army, had thrown 10 divisions into the new attack between Lake Balaton and the Danube. The main weight of the new battle is raging south-oast of Szekesfcheryar.
The British United Press says after the Berlin radio's admission that the Bed Army had resumed its drive to Vienna came a sensational but unconfirmed statement in French broadeasts that Russian advanced forces had reached the Austrian border beyond Nagy-Kanisza.
