B! EDWARD D. FALL (Amociated Press Staff Writ")

LONDON. Sept. 9-—(AP)—Ad0lf Hitler, trapped in the centre of his ownwaver fortress, was report-

erence today at which it was de- ded to reinforce the Po River line in Italy and fight there to the last m

an. Apparently detennined to make Italy a blood battlefield despite her capitulat on, Germany moved s y se important com- munication centres and strategic goints to offset gains already made y Allied landing forces and appeals to Italian forces w turn against their former Allies. Berlin announced that Italian troops had occupied the vital Bren- ner Pass and, with announcement that some key communications were held by Italians "loyal to the Axis,"

o» .-

way traffic between the two coun- tries was halted by the Germans.

In Yugoslavia Too

Germany also s quickly into action across the Adr atic, occupy- ing the Dalmatian area oi Yugos- lavia’s southwestern coast in an at- tem t to block any Allied invasion oi t e Balkans through that Bill-t- way. The seizure. e broadcast said, was carried out with the aid of Croat puppets.

Other German broadcasts ack- nowledged that Italian troops al- ready had turned against the Ger- mans in some parts oi Ital . but claimed that the Italian in rnal situation was generally under Ger- man control.

Reports from the Balkans said that Italian divisions which have been used as occupation troops were being disarmecl and replaced by German divisions. --~-

Swiss Reinforce Frontiers

Switzerland rushed reinforce- ments to her own frontiers today to await any eventuality. and dis-

atches to Madrid said the Swiss

ad mobilized about four-fifths of their frontier forces.

Adispalch to the Borne news- paper Der Bund said strong Italian formations were drawn up W hill a few miles oi German roops in northern Italy and near Venice.

Allied forces which landed on the Tyrrhenian coastline ivere report- ed in Berna to be moving north- ward with an advance guard of Italian troops.

Milan, Turin and other northern Italian industrial cities were said to

be completeléyémunder Italian con- trol. with G an troops leaving those places.
