LONDON, Oct. % tUP)-
Yugoslav Partisans have wrecked
one of the most important iron
ore mines in Europe after bitter
battle with Axis forces in the
Bosnian hills. Partisan COM
munique said today, and Swiss
reports said other guerilla bands
had broken across the Danube
River TO carry the war into Hun
gary.
Swiss advices also revealed that
Marshal Rommel had rushed two
more German divisions into Fiume
for a full-scale campaign against
the ragged guerilla armies that
have crippled most of the rail-
way lines in northern YugoSlavia.
Particularly heavy fighting was
in progress along the Una River,
in northern Bosnia, where the
guerillas killed 100 enemy SOL
diers and confiscated German
arms and munitions.
STORM MINE TOWN
Just south of the river the
Partisans stormed into the town
of Ljubljana. site of mine
which formerly produced for the
German war machine 200 tons
day of the second best grade of
iron ore in Europe. The Parti-
sans smashed the mining inStalla-
tons and wiped out a battalion of
puppet UStashi troops.

Dispatches from Switzerland
said Partisan troops had battled
their way across the Danube at
an unidentified point and were
burning enemy installations in
Hungary. Partisan agents also
were said to have entered Hun
gary by way of Serbia in an
effort to arouse the populace
against the NaziS.
The arrival of the German rein

signal the start Of a NaZi drive
to clear the Istrian Peninsula and
