BY THOMAS A. LOAYZA


MADRID, Oct. IA G.NSO.
Granted a respite while insurgent
forces are reorganized for the at,
tack. Madrid today made last.
minute bid to Shatter the. Euro
pean non-intervention pact and
win more foreign leftist aid for
the loyalists.
While insurgents announced vic
tories on several distant battle
grounds, with 241 government
militiamen killed, Madrid threw a
bombshell into the non-interven'
ton council with this official COM
munique:
'"The council Of ministers
wishes to make public its graft
tude to the government Of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics for the dispatch of funds
and food supplies" ~.
Seen AS Challenge
Foreign observers were as
founded at the direct reference
to the Soviet government" in
view of Muscovite contentious
that only private individuals and
organizations had sent assistance
to the Spanish loyaliSts.
Considering MoscoW's charges
of Fascist help for the insurgents,
and the threat of open Soviet as
sistance for Madrid, the com,
munique was regarded as a direct
challenge to Berlin, Rome, and
the non-intervention committee OF
q European nations.
Rain and cold weather, the en-
trenchments of the loyalists, and
inadequate organization of the in
surgents have combined, mean
while, to delay for at least two
weeks. it is estimated, the con.
certed insurrecto onslaught on the
capital.
Fighting Widespread
There was fighting, however, on
widespread fronts.
Grapevine messages from JereZ
de Ia F'rontera said the Madrid
government lost 1854 dead and con-
siderable equipment when the in
surgents captured Licinea, in the
Saragossa-Huesca sector.
Seventy-Seven loyalists were
slain, said the same source, as the
insurgents advanced five miles
nearer Caceres, a western city
still in the hands of loyalists al,
though in the heart of insurgent
territory.
Oviedo continued the scene of
one of the wars most Sanguinary
battles at close quarters, but con.
flicting claims made the outcome
uncertain.
Loyalists announced the cap.
ture of an insane asylum within
Oviedo, which the insurgents had
converted into a fortress, and the
besieging Asturian miners now
claim to dominate the city.
