Tito Forces Battle
EncircIed German
Motorized Division
BY the Associated Press,

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Yugoslav
PartiSans have trapped a Ger
man motorized division of 400
vehicles near Lipovac in Western
Bosnia and wild fighting now is
progressing through rugged hill
country against the encircled
Nazis and a second division
rushed to its assistance, Mar
|shal Josip Broz (Titol an
nounced today.
The Nazi relief expedition, Tito's
broadcast communique said, broke
through Partisan lines toward
Jajce, Titos former headquarters,
80 miles south Of Banja Luka on
the Vrbas River. Bitter fighting
ensued and the issue apparently was
still in doubt at the time the bulle-
tin was issued.
Other Yugoslavs Take Offensive.
Meanwhile, units of the Sd Yugo-
slav Corps, suddenly taking the Of
fensive, were reported pushing the
Germans back in the vicinity of
Maglaj, Tuzla and Zvornik in East
ern Bosnia. The heaviest fighting
was in the Tuzla area, where the
Partisans were attacking In force,
Titos bulletin said.
Continued fighting against Ger
mans and Chetniks in the Gacko-
Nevesinja area in Southern Herce-
govinia was reported by the Yugo-
slav communique. In Lika Province
in Croatia the Germans were still
attacking in an attempt to breach
Yugoslav lines guarding liberated
territory. Minor fighting was re-
ported from other scattered sectors
of the front.
Partisans Praised in Commons.
War Secretary Sir James Grigg
yesterday told the House Of Com
mons that the Yugoslav Partisans
have tied down at least 125, 900 Ger
man troops, and said the German
drive which began in Croatia late
IN December was "a failure" All
possible aid was being supplied to
the Partisans, he added.
Cairo dispatches yesterday quoted
an unofficial Yugoslav source as
saying Tito was wounded in the
left arm during the Green Noun
tain battle last June when his Par
tisan forces we're surrounded by
seven German divisions. He was
not seriously incapacitated and was
able to help in the successful fight
to break the encirclement and
escape to lead summer, autumn and
winter campaigns against the in
vaders.

Rescuers Dig for Living
And Dead Amonq Ruins
BY STANLEY ROSS.

by STANLEY ROSS,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
SAN JUAN, Argentina, Jan. 49,
A mass OF rubble which once was
the flourishing city Of San Juan, sur
rounded by luxurlant orchards and
vineyards. presented a weird spec
tacle last night.
Squads of soldiers, who had not
slept since Sunday, wearily worked
by lamplight to find the bodies of
residents Of this Andean city, which
was destroyed by an earthquake
Saturday night.
Survivors evacuated from the re-
mains Of the city are living IN rude
shelters. railroad cars and in the
open. Refugees throng the roads
Only so buildings were left standing
and they will be demolished because
they are not safe.
The work Of demolition was aided
yesterday morning by a series OF
temblors which caused many walls
to tumble.
Outside of the city the govern
ment is preparing seven temporary
camps which will serve as living
quarters for II 900 persons.
Inside, rescue workers labored fe-
verishly for fear still living persons
might be entombed in the ruins of
large buildings.
Yesterday afternoon a doctor
gazed at the body of his wife. then
shot himself. A woman went insane
believing her 4-year-old daughter
had been killed and then did not
recognize the child when she wan
dered back unharmed.
One old woman franticaly tore at
the ruins Of her house convinced her
baby granddaughter was still alive.
She moved heavy concrete blocks
she never would have budged under
ordinary circumstances. She found
the baby. scared but unhurt, in a
small crib formed by the stones and
timbers.
Most Of the injured have been re-
from the city. One thousand
were taken to Mendoza yesterday
al AeCA llOOl.
Vaccination Of all survivors is
proceeding as rapidly as possible.
Chilean and Uruguayan doctors and
nurses are working side by side with
performing emergency
operations under the most adverse
conditions and often without the
aid OF an anesthetic. The assistance
OF the Chileans was described by
one Argentine official as "incal-
culable."
I'VE don't know what we would
have done without them he added.
They have saved dozens of Argen-
tine lives"
Doctors and nurses are living in
cars and tents, although
most of them have given up their
beds to the homeless and sick as
they have no time to use them any,
way.
The city is without electricity and
is dependent on neighboring towns
for water.

wineries, that they have two Of the
six officers Of the wine institute and
that wine prices have more than
