FINAL DRIVE
IN SPAIN TO
START SOON

HENDAYE, F'ranco-Span. From
tier, Nov. 10. (UP) - Nationalist
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
has determined to start his final
offensive" in eastern Spain before
the end of the month, reports to the
frontier said today.
Hoping the offensive would cause
the collapse of Loyalist opposition
by Christmas, Franco ordered his
ground troops and aerial strength
to be ready for action this week
end.
There has been no official in
dication where Frances drive will
be centered, but Nationalist sources
be around Teruel, approximately
100 miles east of Madrid. The Ma
tionalists may attempt to penetrate
Loyalist Spain between Teruel and
Madrid in an effort to cut Madrid's
last open road to the sea, or be-
tween Teruel and Zaragoza to cut
off Catalonia from Madrid and
Valencia.
