(AP) Stefa-ni, official Italian news agency, reported from Budapest today a heavy explosion, believed to have been in a munitions dump, was felt through the Hungarian capital this morning. Windows in some buildings were shattered by the blast. Stefani said it was believed the explosion occurred in a munitions dump at Nagyteteny, a few miles from Budapest. stabbing at Bucharest, the Black sea port of Constanta and setting great fires in the Ploesti oil fields.

(An NBC broadcast last night from Ankara, Turkey, said the Rumanian government was reported to have left Bucharest following Russian air attacks. Sink Submarines (Dispatches from Budapest said Soviet planes also had attacked two Hurgarian frontier villages, killing six and wounding several others.) In ihe Baltic sea. the Russians declared, their air force and light naval units sank two submarines. No operations were reported on the Finnish-Soviet frontier, but Tass, official Russian news agency, declared German planes were using Finland as a base for attacks on Soviet territory. "These bandit activities of the Finnish militarists constitute the grossest violation of the peace treaty between the Soviet Union and Finland." Tass said.

Will Defend Herself (Finland has accused Russia of bombing without provocation and has announced that she will defend herself with the aid of the Germans.) The Russians declared the Germans were making extensive use of parachute troops in their offensive, but declared they were being mopped up swiftly. At one point in the Ukraine a Red cavalry unit was said to have charged a number of parachutists and "exterminated them all at the moment of landing." Some of the German parachutists who landed in White Russia were clad in Red army uniforms and apparently were assigned to espionage work, the Russions alleged. Many Planes Lost "Thanks to the vigilance of our troops, this imposition of the perfidious enemy was exposed in time and the diversionist groups ar.ni-hiliated or captured," they asserted. Pravda, communist party organ, declared the Germans have lost more than 2,000 planes in a thwarted, attempt to win air mastery over Britain, "Now British aviation, constantly reinforced from America." it said, "has grown greatly. They already have qualitative superiority and will have quantitative superiority." Of Germany's two-front struggles, Pravda said "partial successes or failure on one stage of the other, or one sector of the ether, will not determine the outcome of the war." Pallbearers were Wayne Chen-evert.

Two Planes Lost In the sweeps over Germany, authoritative sources asserted, the RAF "was encountering far less anti-aircraft than usual and the belief was expressed in some quarters that this means large amounts of anti-aircraft equipment has been moved to the Russian front. The air ministry acknowledged the loss of two planes in last night's sweeps and said a British bomber shot down a Nazi fighter plane. German air activity over Britain remained slight. (Berlin sources said the RAF bombed Schleswig-Holstein and the Rhenish Westphalian industrial region last night, causing a few casualties and non-military damage.) In an article discussing the apparent RAF control of the air within a limited range beyond Britain, the authoritative magazine Aeroplane said that "if local air superiority could be so built up that military operations could be conducted in the shelter of it, then that supremacy could serve to preserve seized landing grounds in daytime as re-fueling bases and to make a good show of protecting and defending them at night.

Alarm In London "The cumulative effect of such advancing, step by step, as the RAF pushed an umbrella forward, might have most embarrassing effects on the enemy now busily occupied with a new piece of aggression beyond her eastern frontiers." London had a short alarm early today and anti-aircraft batteries went into action, but no bombs' were dropped on the capital. A few bombs fell at one point in East Anglia and in southeast England, but there was no serious damage and no casualties were reported, a communique said.
