FRONTIER, Sept. (UP)- Gen
Francisco Frances offensive on the
Aragon front has been broken and
thousands of his German, italian
and Moorish troops have been slain

announced jubilantly today.
The Loyalists took the strategic
town of Belchite, located in the
heart of Frances eastern salient
and cut off thousands of Nationa-
list troops to the north from their
bases near Teruel.
Franco had cut sWath into Lo-
yalist territory designed to severe

Madrid and Valencia, and had even
threatened to surround Madrid be-

The government halted the in

Frances forces and generally out
maneuvering his eastern comman-

The Loyalists had thrown almost
their entire resources into the east

manders and the pick of their
fighting troops-the famous inter-
national brigade.
The capture of Belchite was the
first major victory won by the Lo-
yalists since the beginning of the
war. Franco had scored victories

ton Of the state federation at
Long Beach in September"
The statement, issued on the
eve OF the quarterly meeting OF
the executive council Of the state
federation in the Los Angeles labor
temple tomorrow, said in part:
Secretary Vandeleur cited a re-
cent report issued from San Fran
cisco Communist headquarters urg-
ing all Communist factions as
their smaller units are known, to
cooperate with the CIO movement
in packing the California State
Federation of Labor convention al
Long Beach.
Under the guise of progressives,
these Communist-CIO groups are
out working to obstruct legitimate
labor groups.
Originally the plan of the Com
munist-CIO combine was to boy
colt the September convention. But,
faced with an unexpected militant
campaign Of solidarity on the part
of the A. F. of L. groups, supporters
of the Communist-CIO combine
skunk back to their holes, ano
came back with a new piece OF
cheese.
THE latest plot of the Commu-
nist-CIO combine is to elect as
many 'phoney' delegates as pos
sible to the September convention
Of the federation in an effort to
get control of the state labor body.
"The latest Communistic dodger
orders all members of the party
to support a contemplated inva-
sion of the September convention
1T is clearly up to the trade
unionists of California to halt this
invasion of those who would sell
them out to a handful of greedy
promoters whose sole ambition is
to exploit the worker and take
his money for their own benefit"
The fight between the A. F. of l..
and the CLIO. for control of unions
representing agricultural and can
merry workers in California was
