Marshal Malinovsky’s . troops have thrust another 20 miles into north-east-ern Yugoslavia in the past 24 hours, reports the Moscow correspondent of the British United Press.

Their swift advance so upset the enemy’s calculations that his motorized infantry and tanks were caught and routed on the way to the front. Mopping up is going on along the Danube behind the Russian spearhead. Marshal Kouiev’s drive into the Carpathian passes on the Czechoslovak frontier, where tiie Germans report violent lighting, is continuing on a broad front.
