A—S8 #x FRANCO REPORTED SEEKING MORE AID Paris Hears Germany and Italy Asked to Supply 125,000 Men. BACKGROUND— Bilbao fallen, Gen. Franco of Spanish insurgents now turns to Madrid, which has resisted eight months. Civil war started July, 1936; insurgents overran half of country in few months; were stopped at Madrid. Basquest held out four months at Bilbao. Fascist Germany and Italy conceded to be Franco's principal source of men and arms; Russia openly helps the govern- ment forces. Britain and France have been bending every diplomatic effort to confining the war to the peninsula. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, July 6.—Generalissimo Francisco Franco was reported today by the Spanish government news agency to have sent the Italian and German governments a secret memo- randum asking 125,000 more troops for a renewed attack on Madrid. ‘The purported document, published | by the Agence Espagne, the gov- | ernment news agency, was gddressed to German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Italian Duce Benito Mussolini. The agency said Franco asked Ger- many and Italy, both of which coun- tries have recognized the insurgent regime, for “125,000 more men, 500 airplanes, 50 artillery batteries and 8 considerable number of tanks.” Plans Two Drives. Franco told Hitier and Mussolini, the agency alleged, he was planning & simultaneous offensive against Madrid and on the Teruel front northwest of the temporary capital at Valencia. The drive against the Teruel line would be an attempt to sever Valencia from Barcelona, the capital of au- tonomous Catalonia. “Such an offensive would have no chance of success unless very con- €iderable assistance were sent from the outside,” Franco was quoted by the agency as admitting. The new aid, the agency said the memorandum reported to Hitler and Mussolini, was made necessary by a loss of 20,000 men and 20 per cent of the insurgent war materials during the just completed siege of Bilbao on the northern coast. Aims at Recognition. Franco was quoted as declaring he had undertaken a “political cam- paign” aimed at gaining recognition for his regime and, failing that, classi- fication as a belligerent. Recognition as a belligerent would give the insurgent chief the legal right to halt and search foreign ship- ping off Spain for contraband of war. The alleged memorandum was said to have expressed Franco's belief sev~} eral South American countries were only awaiting “the fall of Santander” to accord his regime full recognition. Santander is the present major objec- tive of the insurgent northern army. Insurgents Trap Battalion.

Spain, an insurgent communique re- | ported today. Generalissimo Francisco Franco's men said they had cut off the bat- talion during an advance on Somiedo Heights. The Biscayan campaign continued near the border of Santander and Vizcaya Provinces, east of the Asturian front. Insurgent captors of Bilbao have pushed the evacuating Basque Army back into Santander Province, west and northwest of Bilbao. i A government attack against Franco's slege lines at Madrid, in the Casa de — ] Lecommodations Skl Brailable! with so many Cunard Whiie Star sailings . . . averaging three each week . . . there are still a number of accommodations available: in these early summer sailings to Feance, England, Freland, Seotland Samaria . . . -gguitania., o ."cy!fifn 55 56 yuly /6 Lerengaria . .

FRENCH PROPOSAL REPORTED. May Agree to “Limited” Belligerent Rights in Spain, PARIS, July 6 (#).—Persons close to the French foreign ministry predicted today that Great Britain and France might agree to give the Spanish in- surgents “limited” belligerent rights in return for Italo-German co-opera- tion in a “hands-off Spain” sea patrol. This compromise might ease the dangerous tension in Europe over the Spanish situation, caused by with- drawal of the Italian and German ships from the original sea patrol and related events. The Belgian representative on the Non-Intervention Committee probably will introduce the proposal at the group's next meeting, it was indicated. The “limited” belligerent rights in | Spanish terirtorial waters would give Insurgent ¢ Generalissimo Francisco TPranco’s stronger fleet the right to blockade government ports and con- trol shipping, government or foreign, | within the 3-mile limit.
