Madrid Claims Great
 Victory or Loyalists
WhirIwnd Advance of Italian, German Troops Has Been Turned Into Retreat-More Bitter Fight
 ing in Last Twenty-fOur Hours
By HENRY T. GORRELL

(UUIVeu ffeSS SV1n COfFeSpOn0ent)
 Madrid. March 13.-CUP)--Gen. Jose Mlaja, defender of Madrid, has stopped the whirlwind advance of Italian and German troops on the Trijueque- -Brihucga line, IA miles northeast of Guadalaj jara, .a and has rushed the entire Albacete garrison into a counter-at ttack, loyalist head quarters asserted today. Striking with all force at his command, Miaja turned the attacking army back from the outskirts of Guadala- jara, last Madrid outpost on the northeast, and forced 1t to retire through knee-deep snow beyond Tri- jueque, 1t was said.
 Rebels Lose, 23 Tanks
 The nationalists lost g tanks in the 14-mile retreat, loyalist army headquarters reported. They were presumed to be Italian machines. Bitterest fighting of the last 24 hours centered at Trijueque, which is built around Q number of ancient convents on the Madrid -Soria high way, Loyalists evacuated the town before the onslaught of the fast moving, mechanized right" column, reputedly commanded by Gen. Ot- tavio zoppi, retired, of the Italian army, but reformed in Guadalajara and launched a surprise counter attack which sent the Italians and Germans back to secondary posi- tons.

The assurance was given by Bar on Constantin Won Neurath, foreign minister, at the conference yester- day at whi h American Ambassador William E. Dodd protested vigorous ly against insults levelled at the United States and Americans gen. orally, the informant said.
 Neuratll was said to have told Dodd that, however, La Guardias words might have been expected to awaken general resentment ill Ger many and that if expressions used in some papers were exaggerated this was due to resentment.
 Accuses American Press
 It was understood that Neurath also told Dodd that the attitude of part of the American press toward German problems always had been inaccurate and irritating.
 Diplomatic quarters said that radical and conservative Nazi fac- tions disagreed on the attitude to be adopted toward the protest.
 Factions Disagree
 Diplomatic quarters reported to- day that radical and conservative Nazi factions had disagreed on the attitude to be adopted toward the vigorous American protest against insults leveled at the United States and Americans generally in govern ment controlled newspapers. Perhaps because of the disagree ment, a propaganda ministry spokesman disclosed that authori- ties decided to suppress any men ton of the protest. No report of 1t, the spokesman said, would appear in the German press.
 The radical group was reported to demand that If any mention at
