advances from Alcarraz toward
Lerida were admitted in a govern

today as the battle for the key
Catalonian city ragged in full swing.
Nationalist authorities at Sara

Fierce fighting was reported on

communique said the loyalist
troops were holding the drive after
the Franco forces had advanced
to that point.

firm stand with the aid of loyaliSt

A battle south of the Ebro River
