tains Near Barcelona

HENDAYE, April 7. (UP)-A
new flow of refugees from loyal
list Spain to France was started
today as the reorganized govern
ment began constructing its "last
stand" defense line in the noun
tains between Lerida and BARGE.
DINA.
Mrs. Luis Companys, wife of
the Catalonian leader, and her
daughter, Mrs. Jose Tarradellas,
wife of the CataIonian finance
minister, and members of the fam
lily of former Minister of Justice
Garcia Oliver, of the loyalist cab
met were among those who ar
rived at Perpignan, France, on
the Catalan frontier. Pi y Suner,
minister of education in the Cat
alonian government, and jaime
Ayguade, new labor minister in
the loyalist government accom-
panied their families, intending
to return to Barcelona.
Motor cars bearing the flag Of
Catalonia brought the official
refugees.
Twenty Russian technicians ar
rived at Perpignan, saying they
were going to Russia ION vaca-
ton"
Between 600 and 700 refugees
arrived at Tarbes, France, after
crossing the mountains. All were
civilians.
The Spanish rebels, held at Tor
tosa, put additional force in a
drive to take the artificial lake
district north of Lerida and cut
off most of Catalonia's hydroelec-
trio power supply. Nationalist
communicates reported the rebels
within 2 1.2 miles of Tremp,
which is the heart of the power
station area.
In Barcelona, labor union lead
ers worked urgently to provide an
emergency power supply suffi-
cient to keep the vital industries
going, on the assumption that the
nationalists would cut off the
Tremp supply.
The nationalist drive on the
Tremp sector and a new loyalist
offensive in western Spain were
the chief features of the reports
from the fighting zones.
The new loyalist drive was
started southwest Of Talavera de
la Reina, west of Toledo where
in the early weeks of the civil
war the nationalists won their
first big victory.
The loyalists asserted that they
took the village of LaCalera and
forced the nationalists to evacu-
ate the strategically important
town of Ell Puente Del Arzobisop.
The loyalists were operating with
