Russians Seize
6O-N|i|e Strip
In Yugos|avia
Drive Seeks to Trop
zoo, 900 Germans
In Lower BuIkuns
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sunday, Oct. 1.-The
Red Army, crossing into Yugo-
slavia In a drive aimed at trap
ping 100000 Germans in the
Lower Balkans, has seized a 60
mile bridgehead on the west
bank of the Danube opposite
Romania and captured a score
of villages, Moscow announced
officially last night.
A late German broadcast, accent
ing the peril to all the Nazi holdings
grabbed there in l94l. said the un-
folding Soviet operations there and
on the rich Hungarian plains lead
ing to Budapest, had been built into
a dangerous dagger pointed at the
hearts of Europe"
With defeatism reported rampant
in the Hungarian armies and also
in the puppet troops, built up by the
once-mighty Nazi legions, a show
down was imminent in the Balkans.
81 Miles From Belgrade.
The Russians, swinging westward
within "a miles of Belgrade, the
Yugoslav capital, in aid of Marshal
Titos Partisan forces, crossed the
winding Danube above and below
the Iron Gate rapids on a stretch
between Orsova and Negotin, the
broadcast Soviet communique said.
The Russians drove 6 miles into
Yugoslavia at Negotin, and Tito's
spearheads, battling a mixed force
of Germans, Serb puppet troops
and Gen. Draja Mihailovich's Chet-
niks, were reported by the Free i'u-
goslav radio already to have reached
a point on the southwestern ap-
proaches of Belgrade.
Imperiled Hungary, reportedly
suing for peace, thus was threat
ened anew from the south at the
same time that Budapest bulletin
acknowledged that other Soviet
forces and Romanian contingents
had fought their way at least 10
miles inside Southeastern Hungary
on a line between Szeged, Hungary's
sec j city, and Oradea, big Tran
sylvanian rail town 100 miles to the
northeast.
Gains Along Frontier.
Soviet troops also punched out
gains along the Polish -Czechosloyak
frontier, in Northeastern Romania,
and in Pennsylvania in the powerful
assault aimed at knocking Hungary
out OF the war. Moscow dispatches
said the Hungarian troops already
were showing signs of dissension.
Red Army planes also dropped
leaflets over the Hungarian lines,
promising the Hungarians good
treatment if they should surrender
and join the United Nations drive
In Germany's dying hours.
The Russians crossed into Yupo-
slavla by way of the big Danube
bend near the junction of the Yugo-
observation-disclosures frontiers
several days ago, Moscow said. Ber-
lin first had reported a crossing in
force Thursday. the same day that
MOSCOW announced officially that
Marshal Tito's National Liberation
Committee had granted permission
for the Red Armys drive.
The Red Army's double purpose
was to effect junction with Tito's
men and the Allied Adriatic forces
IN the west so as to throw a power
1ul block across Nazi escape lines
out OF Yugoslavia, Albania and
Greece, and also to turn northward
toward Hungary and Austria.
