Established on the left (eastern) r. nk, they asserted they were in position to drive down the Lerida- TarraSona road and thus make an additional threat at the Loyalists in the TortCSa sea coast zone.
 By their advances in the Segrt river area, the Nationalists cut the Lerida- Barcelona and Lerida- France roads definitely, it was said.
 John De Gandt, United Press staff correspondent with the Nationalists reported that they expected the Loyalists to continue their fight with three separate armies-one up along the Pyrenees, the second in Catalo- mia proper, and the third in the Valencia Madrid area, intending to keep the Nationalists from concen- trating all their forces for one big final offensive. Also, De Gandt said the Nationalists thought that the Loyalists would hold Catalonia as long as possible in order to keep contact with the French frontier hoping to receive supplies.
