would be necessary for completion
of surveys and a careful proce'
dure would be necessary for per-
manent results.

Today's developments in the
Spanish civil war are:
BURGOS.-Rebel leaders be-
lieve the backbone of government
resistance is broken and expect to
set up an army Fascist regime.
Rebels today claimed gains in
the north, east and south and
menaced Malaga after taking Ba-
dajoz where 1000 troops are pre-
pairing to march on Madrid.
BADAJOZ. - Two thousand
loyalists were slaughtered in the
rebel capture of this city.
HENDAYE.-Rebels battle on
the French frontier to encircle
Irun and cut off BadajOz.
PAMPLONA.-Unofficial esti-
mates place total casualties at
10000 dead and $4,000 wounded.
MADRID.-Two high rebel Of
ficers were condemned today to
be eShot ana bloody reprisals seem
likely if the rebels take Madrid.
Spain's civil war went into its
second month Sunday with rebel
forces taking the offensive in
the north and south and with both
sides resorting to mass executions
by way of reprisal and punish
ment. Major developments includ-
ed:
Conservative estimates of 90
600 killed, $4,000 wounded, 49,
600 jailed and 5,000,OOO,0O0 pes
etas damage as the cost OF just
one month of war.
Rebels controlling Badajoz af-
ter the bloodiest battle of the war
admitted at least 1,500 Commun-
lists were killed in the fighting.
With the Spnish Foreign legion
in the vanguard they prepared to
march on Madrid.
Insurgent headquarters, de-
scribing smashing offensive
against Malaga, loyalist naval base
on the Mediterranean, threatened
wholesale reprisals in the south
upon discovering $50 Fasclsts
were executed at Antequera, near
Malaga. Antequera now IS In reb-
ell hands.
General Emilio Mola, northern
insurgent commander, announced
500 loyalists were killed by rebel
machine gunners in an abrotive
attempt to attack the insurrection-
ist stronghold at Zaragoza.
1t was feared that the fate of
700 Fascist prisoners at San Sc
bastian was sealed when rebels
launched a new offensive to gain
an outlet to the sea. The defend
ers of San Sebastian warned they
would execute the rebels and dyn-
amite the city rather than surren-
der. The insurgents flouted the
warning and opened land and air
attacks on Irun and San Sebas-
ton. Rebel naval forces were
ready to participate.
Neutral observers credited the
rebels with taking the offensive
in the second month of the war,
leaving the government on the
defensive and facing difficulties
of organization, supply and con,
troll of ardent but undisciplined
and inexperienced fighters.
Greatly increased bloodshed
was threatened because the For
eign Legion and Moors from Mo-
rocco, closing in on Madrid from
the south, went into battle cry
ing: eve will take no prisoners"
