Rebel Attack Concentrated
on Four.MiIe Sector of
of Ebro Front.
BY the Associated Press.

HENDAYE, France. Aug 22.-The
Spanish government reported today
that its defense lines were holding
firmly against the main force Of an
insurgent attack concentrated on q
four-mile sector Of the Ebro front.
Government dispatches said the
militiamen still were strongly en-
trenched in front of Villalba, strategic
communications center northwest Of
Gandesa, which has borne the brunt of
insurgent attacks since early Saturday.
From descriptions of the intensity
Of the fighting, it appeared the long
awaited offensive of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco was under way.
Insurgent advices from Zaragoza,
however, said that while operations in
the Gandesa sector had passed beyond
the preliminary stage of rectification
of lines they were not yet IAN offensive
properly so-called."
The insurgents were attacking In
various sectors of all other fronts,
although with considerably less force
than they were using in the effort to
clean out the month-old government
foothold on the west bank of the Ebro.
Positions on the other fronts ap-
peared to be little changed with the
government holding strong defensive
positions in Upper Catalonia. along
the Teruel- el-Mediterranean highway and
in Southwestern Spain, before the
Almaden mercury mines.
