 Democrat Writer There
 Reynolds Packard, of the United Press war staff, and I have stood for hours in the hills along the na- tionalist advance lines watching this great battle. We can see the smokcstacks of the Altoshornos h. dustrial suburb, and the loyalists re- treating through the fields, blasted by nationalist artillery fire. toward Galdacano, seeking shelter in hay stacks, barns and small patches of fine woods. The nationalist advance was systematic. The ground was too rough for motor transport and the troops made use if mules and two- wheeled carts of the type used by the Romans, 2,000 years ago, drawn by oxen and even by COWS. Thus the ywere able to bring up supplies across country or over roads which had been blown up.
 Had No Difficulty
 Supported by artillery and air- planes, the nationalists without diffi- culty widened their front inside the Fl Gallo fertilization line. Planes and artillery remained in action al- most continually. Today is the fourth day of the great battle. It was estimated that General Davila had used only about one-fourth of the men he has massed on thls front. The fall of Bilbao seemed be- yond doubt a matter of days, bar ring a change in the weather or an unexpected powerful loyalist coun- ter-attack. Loyalist resistance seem- ed to ease as the advance proceeded. The shattering artillery and air. plane fire made defense futile, ap- parently, and few loyalists remain ed to challenge the infantry after the preparatory bombardments.

 Hendaye, French Spanish Front fer. June 14-(UP)-T8he Basque Loyalist government has decided to evacuate Bilbao and transfer its ca- pital westward to Santander, the Basque Loyalist delegation at Bay- onne said today. An official Na- tionalist communique issued at Sa- lamanca, the insurgent capital, as- serted that the government already had fled. The hundreds of thous- ands of people who had been shelt- cred in Bilbao for months were re- ported crowding the roads to the west, seeking safety in the San- lander area. Frontier reports were that the NationaIists hoped to take Bilbao by the middle of the week.

 Court

Medical testimony will be offered tomorrow in the completion of the $25, 900 negligence action of Anne Reed of West Cheshire against the Connecticut company, which has been partly heard before Judge Ken- meth Wynne in superior court.
 The only two witnesses remaining to be heard are Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, who has been called by the plaintiff; and Dr. Wilder Tileston of New Haven, for the defense.
 Miss Reed brings the case to re- cover for injuries allegedly suffered in the famous Cheshire bus crash of last September IT, in which i've persons were killed. The Connecti- cut company is not fighting respon- sibility in the suit, they only defend the suit in regard to the amount of damages claimed. Several claims brought by other persons injured in the crash have been settled. At- torney William K. Lawlor represents Miss Reed, and the defense is repre- sented by Attorney William J. Larkin.

SOCIALISTS TO
 BATTLE M'LEVY

New Haven, Conn, June 14-(UP) The executive committee of the Connecticut legal proceedings against a faction of the party head ed by Mayor Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport, for the right to use the name of socialist party of Connec- ticut. The committee was instruct ed to take this action at a con- vention of left-wing socialists here yesterday. A new state executive committee named included the fol- lowing members:
 Devere Allen, Wilton: Harry Ro- sen, Hartford; Oliver Lincoln. New Britain; Jack Bergen, Bridgeport; Walter Davis, Hamden: Spencer Brown, Hartford; Karl Ahlin, New Haven, and Philip Brainard, Water bury.
 The two factions clashed before the November elections last year over which should appear on the ballot under the designation social ist party. A superior court decision favored the McLevy group.
 The left-wing organization in- tended to use as a new argument the fact that the McLevy group re- gently affiliated with party known as the social-democrat federation. thereby allegedly losing their rights
 to the title socialist party.

 The search, to start this after noon, will continue until nightfall and be continued daily until the countryside in the vicinity of the farm is covered or until conclusive clues are found.
 Connolly warned newspaper men that if they did not heed request not to participate in the search, it would be changed to demand with which am prepared to compel con- pliance."
 William H. Parsons, husband of the missing woman, had made a similar request which newspaper men and photographers obeyed. For the first time since Mrs. Parsons disappearance became public, he performed his chores today unac- companied by gallery of reporters.
 Parsons Makes Appeal
 Parsons appeal to reporters, the public and all law enforcement agencies to leave the vicinity of his home, was the highlight of week. end of many rumors but few tangi- ble developments.
 Police were Investigating a new angle today after Miss Bernice Lang, who operates dress shop in Smithtown, N. r.. and New York, declared that a woman resembling the missing Mrs. Parsons was in her New York Shop Wednesday after noon about six hours after she was reported to have left her Long Island farm for the last time.
 Miss Lang told authorities that the woman entered her shop, ap- peared nervous, while looking at a few dresses. She left without mak- ing purchase.
 If the woman was Mrs. Parsons, the report would conflict with the story told by Mrs Anna Kupryanova, Russian born intimate of Mrs. Par- sons, who said that her friend left home Wednesday morning with two strangers, an elderly man and woman.
 Mrs. Parsons husband did not re- turn home until evening. Finding his wife had not returned ne noti- fled police. Several hours later a note, demanding $25, ,000 ransom, was found in the rear seat of the Par sons car.

Gen. Francisco Franco, Nationalist dictator, intended to announce the formation of a regularly constituted government, with president and cabinet, which he would declare to be the sole legal" government of Spain. So confident were the Ma tionalists of success. it was report ed, that they already had consti- tuted military tribunals to try re- sponsible leaders captured in Bill bao.
 It was reported that the Basque Loyalist government had addressed an appeal to "A nations, including the United States, protesting against world inaction in the face of Na- tionalist air bombings.
 L0yalists Lost Heavy
 The Loyalist losses were reported heavy. Hundreds of dead were picked up on the battle fields. Re- ports reached the frontier that so fierce was fighting that artillery ammunition was running low on both sides and that much of the fighting was hand to hand. First hand grenades. then bayonets. knives, rifle butts, even stones were used as weapons, according to re- ports.
 The hills in which the fighting took place were blasted by artil- lery fire. Woods burned by incen- diary airplane bombs still smould- cred and the heat was intense. Re- ports from witnesses of the battle were that at times the debris, the blackened tree stumps and the bo- dies of men who had fallen impeded the Nationalist advance. Six Fresh BattaliOns The Loyalists sent six fresh bat talions into action with orders to die rather than retreat. The Na- tionalist lines were reported to be within three miles of the city pro- per on it's northeast side. Nation alist airplanes blasted the country all round in an effort to keep back endorsements from the tiring de- lenders.
 Refugees reaching the frontier from Bilbao reported that the Basque government has transported its archives to banks in Santander. shipped gold, silver and bank notes on british steamer to France, and started evacuation of thousands of civilians afoot towards Santander.
 Meanwhile, all males were con- scripted. Trained fighters went to the front and others began erecting barricades and trenches inside Bil- bao as . final defense.
