The revolt, according to most au- thentic reports, spread to Barcelo- no, capital of Catalonia, 60 miles south of perpignan and the second most important city in Spain, soon after the Morocco outbreak.
 Information from same sources is that the Barcelona disturbance was suppressed quickly by loyal troops in Q fight In which one soldier was killed and four were wounded.
 At dawn today I succeeded in crossing the closely guarded from tier into Spain, and returning to France with the first personal ac- count of events.
 was making for Barcelona, where am informed c revolt broke out in the garrison. But at Figueras IS miles south of the frontier, Q po- lice inspector took me in charge and followed me everywhere.
 Tigueras Is 76 miles northeast of Barcelona.
 There is an absolute censorship throughout Spain. The newspapers appeared this morning full of blank spaces where censors had ordered stories suppressed. There was no word of the portentous events of the night and morning.
 The frontier guard was redoubled during the night. storm guards are patrolling everywhere in cities. Tele- phone calls between cities are for- bidden, as the telephone calls abroad.
 The United Press correspondent at Figueras, ascertained, is not per- mitted to communicate with either Barcelona or Madrid.
 Planned For July 25
 I learned in Spain that a military coup was planned for July 25. It broke prematurely at Melilla.
 After the outbreak at Melilla, part of the Barcelona garrison re- volted. But troops of the garrison faithful to the government. I was informed. repressed the outbreak after a short. sharp fight.
 The premature outbreak of the Miliela revolt. which led the govern ment to discover plans for a national coup. I was informed. was caused by c violent fight between socialists and members of the Spanish for- eign Legion at Melllla. The Legion naires. returning from drill. passed

0 socialist headquarters. The social- ists hissed and shouted insults at the Legionnaires.
 Legionnnaires Angry
 The Legionnaires, I was told, broke ranks, invaded the socialists building, threw several socialists out of the windows and injured many,
 My information is that in Spain proper part of the troops and part of the national police favored the revolt but that the rest were faith full to the government, and that the government is confident 1t can sur- Vive this test of fire and quickly suppress the outbreaks at Melilla and anywhere else.
 received the impression that the quick suppression of the Barcelona outbreak may be good evidence that the balance is in favor of the left wing government.

BY LESTER ZIFTREN Copyright, l0S0, by United Press) / Madrid, July i0.-(UP).-Reb army units, rising against the left wing government, held important army oenters Of Spanish Morocco today.
 The rebellion started last night In Melilla, chief garrison town and spread to other bases. (The United Press correspondent ct Perpignan, French Spanish from tier, reported that the revolt broke prematurely, and was to have been . national one throughout Spain proper. He reported @ brief, minor revolt ct Barcelona, capital Of Cat0s lonia, quickly suppressed).
 (The United Press correspondent ct Biarritz, on the frontier, asserted that there had been heavy move- ment of contraband arms to Spain for three or four days).
 Strict Censorship A strict censorship, one of the most severe ever imposed, blanketed the entire country.
 The government was confident that 1t dominates the situation. It was prepared to attack the rebels by land, sea and air if necessary.
 After the revolt broke at Melilla, 1t was indicated for Q time that Spanish foreign legion troops retook the town. But later it appeared that the foreign legion men joined the rebels. They are a crack, well dis ciplined force which has been brought to Spain in past times to suppress disorders.
 After withholding the news from the public for many hours, the gov- ernment announced that some army units had revolted in Morocco but asserted that most of the army re- mained loyal, there as in Spain proper, and expressed confidence of the early end of the movement.
 Melilla seemed to be the center.
 Troops are confined te barracks on the spanish side ready for action. The battalion at Algerciras is re- ported to be ready to move at any time.

 "There certainly were some cheers" he said. For l was in tho parade and I heard them. 1 also sew plenty of saiutes from Germans In the crowd when the Stars and Stripes went by."
 Brundage was disappointed over England's attitude in regard to ice hockey players eligibility.
