miles south of Madrid and reports
of gains led leaders to believe the
insurgent command, contemptuous
of the loyalist militiamen since the
fall of Toledo, committed major
blunder by extending their thin
lines too far.
Militiamen backing picked storm
guards and national republican
guards took the offensive on a 30
mile front west of the capital. The
spearhead of attack, as expected,
was San Martin de Valdeiglesias,
3712 miles west of Madrid.
Commanders at the front flashed
word to the capital this morning
that the fall of San Martin might
come at any time. Loyalists were
on three sides of the town, east,
south and north.
LoyaliSt operations were hamper
ed by penetrating cold. But the
cold was accompanied by clear
weather which permitted loyalist
bombers and pursuit planes to harass
the insurgent lines.

NEW PATROL
FOR
RESORT Seen
Capt. Oswalt to Seek
Permission for
Policing

Permission to take charge
of the traffic on the San
Diego highway from the I'M
perial county line west to a
point eyond Live Oak
Springs will be sought by Captain
Frank Oswalt of the California
Highway patrol as possible solu-
ton to some of the difficulties Of
the mountain communities, he an
nounced today.
Oswalt wants to station men in
the mountains throughout the
year instead Of just through the
summer months as has been his
practice in the past. He will ask
Chief E. Raymond Cato to pro-
vide men sufficient to patrol the
mountain grade and will offer to
take over the control of the road
even though it is situated in an
other county, he declared We'd
neSday.
Officers from Imperial county
patrol the highway through the
mountain resort area every sum-
mer but have discontinued the
practice at the close of the vaca-
ton season.
A grand jury investigation of
the conditions allowed to CONT
nue. in Jacumba nine months in

the community was forgotten by
San Diego officials and John Het-
itch, Jacumba publisher demanded
a grand jury investigation.
He accused San Diego and Ims
perial county of passing the buck
back and forth and refusing to
accept the responsibility for the
Jacumba area.
Hettich declared there never had
been an official survey of the
county line and the resulting con-
fusion as to the exact location
of the line has not helped much.
