their former concentration at VAL
mojado, the flanks of the Insurgent
main column brushed through sur
rounding territory on both sides. The
left wing occupied the town Of Viii
lamanta, five miles west of Naval
carnero. !
With machine guns. rifles and hand
grenades. the Insurgent forces fought
their way over amateuri1h trenches
which the Socialists abandoned after
a stubborn fight.
The battle was one of the hottest
in the blasting drives toward the
capital.
Retreating government warriors
dynamited Guaddarama River
bridge east of Navalcarnero as they
retired in confusion.
From a hilltop with field glasses,
the Fascist soldiers could see radio
towers of Madrid before the after
noon haze settled.
Insurgent officers said their troops
suffered only a few casualties during
the spirited engagements in which
tough African warriors tore through
the Socialist barbed wire entangle-
ments.
The attacking divisions met sitter
and sitter resistance as the militia
men fell back toward Madrid, giving
an indication of the ferocity of hand
to-hand combats which might be ex-
pected once the Fascists reach the
capitals gates.
The government observation bal
loon shot down during the battle fell
behind Insurgent lines near Men,
trida. Fascist troops rushed for the
crumpled bag but the pilot had dis
appeared when they got there.
The balloon basket was carried
through the streets of Valmojado
during an exuberant victory celebra-
ton.
The insurgent planes loosed fierce
bombardment of Navalcarnero jus,
before the Legionnaires and Moors
who had encircled the town, rushed
the entrances to its streets late in the
afternoon.
All during the morning government
batteries had shelled Valmojado, the
Fascist starting point. At noon they
suddenly were silenced.
The -bathed hills around Naval
carnero offered a splendid view Of the
battle-ground as the Fascists moved up
But machine gun bullets flicked the
ground but so yards away from neutral
observers.
Through the range-finders Of the
insurgent batteries an Associated
Press war correspondent saw the gov
ernment column retreating along the
road behind Navalcarnero toward
Madrid while the Fascist moppers-ul
rolled into town in busses and trucks
The infantry took the town by way
of the Maqueda road, southwest OF
Navalcarnero, while the insurgent big
guns shelled the Mentrida road due
west of the town, cutting of escape in
the direction of the attackers.
Another column Of Moors, outside
Chapineria, blocked ahe road to the
northwest from Navalcarnefo to San
Martin de Valdeiglesias.
Defections in the government ranks
increased, with many assault guards
in blue overalls entering the insurgent
lines during the battle.

These are in two general cate

!. A sweeping denial Of all charges
that Germany has shipped arms to
the Spanish insurgents.
2. Several specific dates on which,
the Germans allege, Russian arms
have been transported to Spanish
government ports in the guise of food
shipments sent by the Russian Com
munist party for the relief of desti-
tute government supporters in Spain.
An Italian reply to Russian charges
Of neutrality breaches is expected a
few hours before the committee

This, like Germanys note, will deny
the Soviet accusations and make
counter charges, it was understood.
Charge Held Unsupported.
A Russian spokesman, referring to
the German note, insisted today the
counter charges were not supported
by evidence.
With a Soviet bolt from the COM
mittee regarded in many quarters as
a foregone conclusion tomorrow. the
spokesman would say only this: 1T

takes"
The German charges concerning
munition shipments disguised as food,
it was understood, cited the recent
trips from Russia to Spain Of the
steamers Neva and Kuba.
It was announced in Russia that
these vessels carried only food, but
the Germans-and previously Dino
Grandi, the Italian Ambassador to
London-alleged they carried hand
grenades, munitions and tanks to
Spain.

FASCISTs EXTEND LINES.

NAVALCARNERO. Spain, October
~ (R.-Encamped in this key city
to the capital" Fascist troops reached
out today to Join supporting columns
at Illescas for double drives on
Madrid.
Platoons Of insurgents marched
southeast to clean up" territory be-
tween two main highways to the capi-
tai before the final push is ordered.
(The apparent objective of the
junction movement was the advanced
Fascist position north Of Illescas con-
fronting government lines at Torre-
jon de la Calzada on the Toledo
Madrid road.
(The two forces joined, the pros
pective advance would become a
triangular movement northward
against Socialist defenses on both
highways)
Inside Navalcarnero, other insurgent
units labored to consolidate their
newly-won positions in expectation of
Q government counter-attack.
The Fascist legionaire and Moorish
troops of Gen. Jose Varela marched
into Navalcarnero last night in the
wake Of battering artillery and aerial
barrage on Socialist defenders.
Insurgent commanders paid the
government militiamen a compliment
for their stubborn resistance, saying
they retired only when threatened
with flanking movement.
Desperate hand-to-hand fighting at
the gates of the city slowed up the
Fascist capture. Socialist prisoners
seized during the battle asserted they
had been ordered to fight to the
DEATH"
The latest victory for Gen. varela
brought the insurgent field headquar-
ters within 20 miles Of Madrid's out
skirts and forced the government
troops into new. improvised lines near
Mostoles. only slightly more than 10
miles from the capital.
The overpowering Fascist advance
pushed military and civilian popula-
tions before 1t. The city was virtually
deserted when insursent soldiers
claimed Its occupation close on the
heels Of retreating Socialists and dee-
ing residents.
THE enemy ned In complete dis
order" Gen. varela declared, "aban-
doning many dead and much ammu-
nition"
Shells from Fascist field guns set
fire to several buildings but the high
way city was spared destruction as
gunners concentrated their fire on
militia positions outside.

WARDEN IS SLAIN,

Michigan Police Seek Trap

NEGAUNEE, Mich, October az
Michigan State police searched the
sparsely settled Carp River country
today for illegal trappers who killed a
veteran game warden and then at
tempted to destroy his body with dyna-
mite.
One man, whose name was not d.
vulged, was held, and two others were
sought in the grotesque staying of
Andrew Schmeltz, 45-year-old State
conservation officer, whose body. shat
tered to bits by dynamite, was found
by fellow wardens yesterday.
As a relentless band of law enforce
ment officers tramped little used trails
in a grim yet systematic hunt for the
killers today, State Police Seret.
Charles Engle, in charge of the investi-
cation, said:
There is absolutely no question but
that it was murder and that dynamite
was used to destroy the body. We all
believe Schmeltz was dead before the
dynamite charge was set of because
tween the apparent time Of death and
the blasts"
Warden Schmeltz, q veteran of 10
years service and considered q fear
less enforcement officer, apparently
was ambushed and slugged to death
near q trail which runs along the
ridge between Pickett's Lake and the
Carp River. Searchers found his
pistol and holster lying nearby and
there was evidence that his body had
been dragged through the thickets to
a swamp bordering the river 200 feet
away. Here, officers theorized. the
killers waited several hours for night
fall and then set of the first charge
of dynamite. Failing to destroy the
body, they used second and third
blast and parts of the body were
found scattered over a radius Of 200
feet. It was identified by shoes and
clothing found near the spot.
