 Toledo, September 8. - (UP) - The Alcazar of Tole- do, the great palace-fortresS on the bank of the TaguS, is under a bombardment so frightful that it is difficult to believe it's defenders still hold out. I have spent a day and a night watching the bonn bardment by loyaliSt rifles, machine guns, artillery, airplane bombs and dynamite. So terrific is it that I, watching from distance of 100 yards, have twice been knocked down an entire flight of stairs by the concussion of explosions alone. But in the cellars of the fortress are 1900 men, women and children who have held out valiant- ly for weeks, with little food and water and less hope of rescue, and as I write they are contemptuously holding out still. To show their spirit, a rebel rifleman has just picked off a stray cat wandering across the plaza in front of me.
 Writer Views Bombardment
 To observe the final phase of the investiture of the old Moorish pal- ace I took up a post on a balcony overlooking the Plaza De Zocodover, 100 yards from the northwest corner of the Alcagar. There, sitting in a,s

Toledo is the key to the battle area. There, loyalists are blasting with every weapon they possess at the Alcazar in which 1900 rebel men. women and children have been be- sieged for seven weeks. It was learned that among the rebels are some loyalist families who were trapped when the rebels fortified themselves in the old palace.
 Big Rebel Army
 A big army of seasoned rebels. principally Moors and Foreign Legionnaires, in command of Col. Juan Vague is trying first to raise the siege of the Alcabar at Toledo, and then to proceed on to Madrid. The situation was made more grave because loyalist planes report that motorized troop columns are arriv- ing in the Talavera area from the Avila area west of Madrid to rein- force the rebels.

OLD UNDERGROUND CITY

Odd Stronghold of Nobleman Who

Located at Luxembourg.

BREMEN. June 13. Tourists who
have marveled at the catacombs of
Rome or those of Paris have another
thrill In store for them when
they go to Luxembourg and visit the
classmates, or underground fortif1ca-
tions, one Of the great curiosities Of
Europe. The immense mass Of rock,
which connects the city Of Luxem-
burg with its suburbs, contains . vast
underground city, made up Of q net
work of galleries and corridors, %
kilometers long.
Count Sigefroid d'Ardennes began
the construction Of these classmates.
In the year 963, by an agreement,
Count Sigefroid exchanged part of
his domains for the Chateau Of Lu-
cilinburhuc, which had been built by
the Romans. Count Sigefroid realized
the value of the rock base as a natural
fortress and set to work to increase
its impregnability He employed hun
dreds Of workmen to build fort and
carve immense rooms out OF rock
which were converted into stables and
store rooms.
In this castle of rock the count lived
when he was not at war. In the
fifteenth century parts Of the castle
were destroyed. From 1547 to 1549
the chateau was partially recon-
structed with materials furnished by
Marie Of Austria.
