Whole Province Now In
Hands of Franco and Army
There Will Be Transferred
to East Spain for Major Of
fensive Against Last Loyal
j1t Area

Irun, Spain, Oct 21.-(AP)-Insur-
gent military headquarters announced
today Gijon, the republican govern
ments last important stronghold in
the Spanish northwest, had surrend
ed to General Francisco Frances Of
fensive.
The headquarters said Navarro bri-
gades of the insurgent forces were
expected to enter the Biscayan sea-
port tomorrow morning. Details Of
the capitulation were not given i'm
mediately.
The reported surrender of Gijc
came after the flight of many Span
ish government officials and the last
units of the Astarian air force to
France.
Indications were the insurgents
would clean up quickly the remaining
fragments of government territory IN
Asturias province and transfer the
mass Of troops from this area to east
ern Spain for the impending major
offensive there.
Franco has been concentrating
troops in the Aragon sector in pre-
paration for a drive into Catalonia
and Valencia. The insurgent command
appeared hopeful it would be able to
deal a decisive blow to these govern
ment centers before any appreciate
number of foreign volunteers mad
been withdrawn. 1t had been Franco $
nlan to settle the campaign before
the winter weather interfered with
troop operations.

BLAME FOR RAIDS
PUT ON JAPANESE
BY CHINA LEADER
Says Japs Operating From
Point Within Settlement,
Attracting Chinese
Bombers
PROTEST WAS MADE
BY u. S. AMBASSADOR
Explanation Made Is That
China Is Forced To Take
Military Action AS Long AS
Japanese Occupy Shang-
hal; One Foreign Area Is
Outside Line
PROTEST WAS MADE
BY u. S. AMBASSADOR

Shanghai, Oct Fl (AP)-Chinesa
bombers flew over new route today
to avoid the international settlement
in before-dawn raids of Japanese posi-
tons about Shanghai.
In previous raids, the planes had
crossed over the settlement and Japa-
nese anti-aircraft shell fragments had
sprayed foreign areas. Yesterday Unit
ed States Ambassador Nelson Johnson
made representations against this
practice to the Chinese government.
The Chinese foreign office spokes
man unofficially said of Johnson's re-
quest that Chinese airmen again were
ordered to take every precaution to
safeguard foreign areas. He declared
however, Japanese primarily were re-
sponsible for the situation, since they
were operating from some sections
within the settlement. The spokes-
man added that, while precautionary
measures were being taken, China is
forced to take military action against
japanese as long as they occupy
Shanghai.
Today the foreign population slept
through the Japanese anti-aircraft
fire, unaware that shells were burst
ing over Pootung, along the new Chi
nese bombing route across the Whang-
poo river from Shanghai proper.
Chinese bombs damaged Japanese
mill on the river bank and set fire to
six buildings. The Japanese anti-air-
craft fire apparently was ineffective.
One foreign area, suburb where
many wealthy foreigners have their
homes, was declared by Chinese au-
thorities to be out of bounds of the
International settlement.
