ENVOY IS IN MOSCOW The JTungartan government ol i Ad- mlral Nicholas Horthy sued ofr peace last night, but as Russian armies drove across the . country's central plains toward Budapest the Germans and pro-German elements apparently seised the capital. The petition for an armistice' with the Allies was broadcast by the Buda pest radio early last night In an order of the . day signed Jy Regent noruy, " ' ' - i Then the Hungarian Nails presum ably sided by German 88 divisions rushed to Budapest from Vienna took over sne ramo. lney canea ror we th tuk fonn . ribnv.i Unlnatlott.ibecewsdast - trayers" . . and urged the Hungarian army and home front to fight on be side Germany. Horthy, according to a report broad cast by the radio at Lille, France, was seised by the Gestapo and taken to Germany. Ankara broadcasts said the Gestapo was making mass arrests in Budapest. Budapest radio's 10 p. m. broadcast Indicated the Nazis were in control at least of the radio station. It broad cast only the German military com munique, making no reference to Horthy s armistice petition or to the Hungarian internal situation. Later Budapest broadcast an order from Francis Ssalasl, chief of the pro Nazi Arrow Cross party, criticizing Horthy and promising to continue fighting alongside Germany. : Horthy's petition, as recorded In London, did not order Hungarian sol diers immediately to lay down their arms. It was followed by broadcast of a statement by the chief of the general staff. Col. Gen. Vltes Voeroes, urging the troops to continue fighting "until . the outcome of the armistice negotiations is known." However, the Lille radio quoted Swiss reports that many . Hungarian soldiers were Quitting. Confirmation of the armistice re quest was expected hourly, from Mos cow, where .Prime Minister Churchill and Premier .Stalin are In conference. Neutral sources said Saturday Hun garian armistice delegations were en route to Moscow. The Ankara radio, Quoting Horthy's order of the day, said Hungary had accepted too Allied armUtlc terms. (OWI reported that the American broadcasting station . In . Europe AB- 8TB in a French language broadcast said "Zurich dispatches announce that as soon ss the . beginning of armistice negotiations become known, large groups of Hungarian army units laid down their arms.") ; v The Budapest radio carried a stae- ment also by CoL Gen Vltes Voros, chief of the Hungarian general staff, which said: "No one must Interpret the contents of the Regent's broad cast as meaanmg that the Hungarian army is laying down Its arms. So far it Is only a question of armistice nego tiations. - -j- "The outcome of these is as yet uncertain and every Hungarian soldier and unit Is therefore to continue to fight without change and with all its might in the face of every attack."
