B—12 ## SPANSHLOVALST CAIS REFORTE Government Forces Claim to Have Extended Lines on Madrid Front. By the Associated Press. MADRID, July 8—Government forces in a new offensive to smash in- surgent siege positions on Madrid's western front were reported today to have extended their curving 15-mile salient despite a counter-attack at Brunete. A column of Gen. Jose Miaja's “Mili~ cianos,” which spread through the in- surgent line and captured Brunete ‘Tuesday, were said in an official com- munique to have thrown back an in- surgent counter drive. “The enemy was unable to make them lose a single inch of ground,” the report said, “but on the contrary they continued to advance, occupying new positions and crossing the Guadarrama River.” might mean the government forces actually had started rolling up the in- surgent flank, catching the beslegers between their curving western salient and positions on the fringe of Madrid.) ‘The communique recited claims of gains of other fronts and concluded: “At the end of Wednesday we main- tained all our positions won Tuesday and conquered other new positions which surpassed them in importance.” In an effort to nullify the govern- ment’s successes, the statement said, the insurgents ‘concentrated at Ma- drid a considerable numbe: of air- planes, taking them away from other fronts. * * * But to no avail because of the valiant action of our fyers.” Twenty government pursuit planes engaged “a much superior number of enemy planes” at more than 8,000 feet over the capital, the ministry said, and “two Fiat (Italian made) planes were brought down, one falling in flames. We suffered the loss of one bi- plane.” One plane of an insurgent bombing squadron which attacked the harbor town of Mahon, on the Balearic Island of Minorca, was reported brought down in flames yesterday by government anti-aircraft batteries. DECISIVE BATTLE SEEN. 30,000 Government Troops Reported (As the Guadarrama River lies about 2 miles east of Brunete, this in Fierce Attack. HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish fron- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, tier, July 8 (#).—Possibly one of the most decisive battles of the civil war raged today west of Madrid, where the Spanish government hurled its army, rejuvenated with fresh troops, against insurgent siege lines. Generalissimo Francisco Franco's own communique called the attack “the most violent drive the enemy has ever attempted.” Authorities on both sides agreed its success or failure might change the whole picture of the almost year-long war. The insurgent communique said 30,- 000 government troops carried the fighting in a series of attacks on the Brunete front north of Navalcarnero, the main insurgent base in the sector west of Madrid. The army of Gen. Jose Miaja was thrown back in every attack with heavy losses, Gen. Franco's report as- serted. (Madrid advices said the gov- ernment attack broke the insurgent line, captured Brunete and kept ad- vancing despite counter-attacks.) The insurgent sweep westward from | Bilbao to Santander on Spain's north- west ledge also was thrown on the de- fensive. A communique said regular government forces, augmented by four battalions of Asturians, tried to recap- ture Mount Castro-Alen during the night. The attack was repulsed, insurgent officers reported, and hundreds of gov- ernment soldiers were killed. BRITISH ADAMANT ON SPAIN POLICY Next Move Put Squarely Up to Italy and Germany. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 8.—Informed sources said last night that Great Brit- ain, standing pat on her non- intervention policy and demands for withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain, will put the next move square- ly up to Germany and Italy. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons Britain PSYCHOMETRY DELINEATIONS Grace Gray Delong Life Reader Adviser 1L AM. to 9 P.M, CHIC MESSAGE COUNCIL Py haCTweiiin ar.

C, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1937. has no intention of offering néw pro- posals at Friday's session of the 27- nation Non-Intervention Committee on a “hands off Spain” program. He did say, however, that “his majesty’s government attaches the greatest importance to withdrawal from Spain of all foreign combatants who already are there and will con- tinue to do its utmost to bring this about.” While Eden will wait on Count Dino Grandi, the Italian Ambassador, and Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Ambassador, to take the initiative on 4ny new proposals Friday, Lord ¥ly- mouth, chairman of the non-interven- tion group, is expected to insist on the withdrawal of Spanish war volun- teers. . That would be preliminary, British sources say, to consideration of Span- ish insurgent Gen. Francisco Fran- co’s petition that he be accorded bel- ligerent rights. Headlining the committee's agenda for Friday are these issues: Maintenance of a naval patrol around Spain or substitution of a land control program; withdrawal of for- eign volunteers and recognition of bel- ligerent rights for both sides in the Spanish war. Franco's threats of what amounts to economic sanctions against Great; Britain were “not taken seriously” British official quarters. His statement that the insurgents might “close our doors to .hose who showed their enmity toward us in our hour of need” worried some British business quarters, however. These sources asserted that Britain, in 1973, imported about $25,000,000 . worth of iron ore, of which nearly $5,000,000 worth came from Spain. British capital also has heavr inter- ests in minerals in both Spain and Portugal and in citrus and wines. Observers said loss of Spanish trade would be a severe blow, but would not prove disastrous. e 5 COLORED MEN STAB, BEAT AND ROB VICTIM Patient, at Hospital, Says He | Was Knocked to Ground Near North Capitol.
