 The internal revenue agents, t was reported, were checking the books at liquor estabIlshment6, give ing rise to the belief that the drive might Dc against attempts to eVade the government tax. one source re- ported that the agents were pafS ticuiarly checking tavern books t0 note if any liquor purchase had been made, and if they flad, wheths CT or not any tax was paid 0il them,
 As the federal and state Getsiips differ, the federal men on their visits make no attempt to enforce the law which forbIds tavernS Og restaurants with only beer permits to sell liquor stronger than beer, Their only concern is inst liquor bottles, no matter where they are, have the proper government stamps or them. The difference between state and federal inspections makes it quite a problem for the perfnittee when he doesn't at once recognize the inspector aS z federal or State man.
 fine federal inspection ranks gre now SwClIed by ( number Of fIlefl from the VITA ranks, This makes t all the more confusing t0 the per' mittees, since many local TestAuF. ant or tavern operators know oil the state and federal men who usually make inspections in thit district.

 The second is the renewed IoyAl- 1st activity in the country south Of Salamanca, particularly by 4 Cols uFnn of picked men from Valencia called the Phantom column.

 Basque Fights Basque
 Basque is fighting Basque in this area. Many 'gquos who would otherwise be with the rebels are fighting with the loyallst8 because they believe that a8 autonomists- Basque nationalists who desire sep. arate rule for their proVinces--thcy have more to gain from the left front government than from the rebels.
 So far as Spain aS whole is concerned, the result Of the weeks operations was that the country was further damaged and efnbittered, tho rebels and loyaiisB ate more food and used more of the national resources while less were being pro- duced, and great areas Of farm lands were abandoned by men in tho war.

 Reckless Experiment
