VITAL RAIL LINES FALL Fascists Continue Push on Madrid With Two Victories, MADRID, October 26 (#).—Fascists, | overwhelming fierce government re- sistance, captured a vital highway- rallroad intersection today about 25 miles south of Madrid. Forced back closer to the capital by | the successful insurgent thrust, gov- | ernment commanders rushed truck- loads of new militia te bolster the sagging but intact Madrid line. | Battering the capital's defense after | & day-long battle, the insurgents took the junction between the Aranjuez| highway and the Levante Railroad | below Sesena as the devastating civil | war entered its fifteenth week, [ The victory on the road between Aranjuez and the capital forged an- other link in the Fascist chain and put | the insurgent forces of Gen. Francisco | Franco in control of an important | communications line for the defense | armies, The intersection, also, is at a point where a bridge spans the Jarama River, which the Fascists must cross to reach Madrid from the south. Although military circles said the thrust left the insurgents in a “dan- gerous position,” the entire civil pop- ulation of Ciempozuelos, about 17 miles south of Madrid on the Aran-| Juez highway, was speedily removed. | Commurications between Madrid and Aranjuez which, at latest re- ports, was still in government hands, | TATESMEN, business men and sight-seers from 48 states are joining America’s smartest flying club!

The other attempted to cut the Valencia Railroad, farther east. Strong lines of the Madrid people’s army stretched from Valdemoro, 17 miles south of Madrid, in a human wall for about two miles to thwart Fascist attacks seeking to cut Aran- | juez off from Madrid. Other govern- ment militia struck back in savage charges against the insurgents at| Sesena. Sounds of the battle were Reard clearly in Madrid the whole afternoon | by crowds, apparently unperturbed, who strolled the capital's streets. In the northwest, however, a valiant government force withstood a Fascist attack on Peguerinos, in the EIl Escorial sector, line, although battered, was intact after a prolonged artillery duel which | began at dawn.

About 150 government casualties | were counted after the battle against | almost 200 insurgents killed. | Another force of militia encircled | Moorish cavalry attacking nearby !

They said they had repulsed Fascist reinforcements in their drive to re- capture Oviedo.) FRANCO FORCES OPTIMISTIC. ‘TALAVERA DE LA REINA, Spain, October 26 ().—In high spirits, with fresh reserves streaming up by the thousands, officers of Gen. Francisco Pranco’s insurgent army made dates today for dinner in Madrid next week end. Fascist fiyers, returning from bomb- ing and “strafing” the capital machine guns, reported Madrid strong- 1y entrenched, Nevertheless, Franco's men predicted & swift victory, pointing out that Madrid militia fled the trenches at Navalcarnero, which had been laboriously dug, without trying hard to hold them. ‘The arrival of heavy reinforcements, pouring in steadily from various points, indicated the big concerted advance on the capital was imminent. Gen, Emilio Mola has taken virtual command of the advance. The report of Portugal having rec- ognized Franco's government was cele- brated wildly by insurgent troops with | fiee, a band concert, parades and speeches by Fascist chieftains. Meanwhile, three newspaper men, two of them Americans, “covered” ths Spanish war todsy from behind the bars of a Fascist prison, Three newspaper men, two of them Americans, who were held by in- surgents after being “captured” near Aranjuez, were released by Gen. Jose Varela, Fascist commander on the Toledo front. It was announced the three, along with two other Englishmen, had been sent to Salamancs. The other Englishmen were de- scribed as the military attache ‘to the British Embassy in Madrid and a di- rector of the Anglo-South American Bank. Their names were not given. The two Americans were Henry Til- ton Gorrell of Washington, D. C., a special correspondent for the United Press in Madrid, and James Minifie, & WHISKER - Canadian, special correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. An Englishman, Denis Weaver of the London News Chronicle, was the third prisoner, Prison, in fact, was a safe haven after their encounter with insurgent machine guns on the road near Aran- juez, where Fascists captured them yesterday during & battle with the Madrid defenders. ‘The reporters were in a private au- tomobile driven oy s ipanish chauf- feur and guarded by two Madrid militiamen.

Henry T, (Hank) Gorrell, who was “captured” by the rebel forces in Spain yesterdsy while out with s scouting party of loyalist troops, was formerly with the United Press in ‘Washington, covering labor news part of that time. He left two years ago in assignment to the U. P. bureau in Buenos Aires, and after a year there was transferred to London. From London, he was sent to the U. P. bureau in Rome, where he in- curred the ire of Premier Mussolini by reporting that a Communist plot had been nipped in the bud by secret Fascist police. Mussolinl admitted the arrest of at least one Communist ‘workman, but denied any implication | of a widespread plot.
