TERROR STILL RULES
BARCELONA STREETS

LONDON, May 6.-UP)-
The Daily Tclcgraph's Pcrpirnan
correspondent said today that an
archiSts still were masters of the
streets in Barcelona and that a
reign of terror was continuing.
The dispatch from the Franco
Spanish frontier said machine
cunning was heard throughout
the town during the night, and
that tanks bearing anarchists mi
tialS were circulating through the
streets.
A four-man dictatorship under
bushy-haired President Luis Com
panyS was established in Spanish
Catalonia last night to crush an
anarchist revolt that left the
streets of Barcelona strewn with
dead and wounded.
1t was estimated that guerilla
fighting in the streets of SPANS
largest and most prosperous city,
where anarchists and moderate
leftists fought savagcly hand-to-
hand, resulted in $50 killed and
wounded.
Premier Jose Tarradcllas, lead
er of Catalonia's coalition cabinet
who stirred the anarchists to arm
ed revolt by his refusal to give
them fuller representation in the
government, appeared to have
been superseded by the new "dic-
tatorship."
