OUTSIDE TERUEL, SPAIN, Jan.
l. (UP)-Generalissimo Francis
co Francois crack battalions last
night stormed into Teruel, field
radio bulletins announced, wiping
out the only loyalist clam to a
major victory in this long civil
war.
The Nationalist entry into the
1,000-year-old city was accompa-
MED by merciless vengeance. The
streets on the western outskirts
were heaped with dead.
Casualties were said to have
run into the thousands as Ameri-
cans of the loyalist international
brigades fought hand-tc-hand with
Italian BLACK Arrow" legion
naires along the road from Cam
pillo.
Because of the speed of the ad-
vance in what has been the big
gest battle of the civil war it was
not known how far Francois col
umns had penetrated toward the
center of the city.
Some reports said, however,
that thousands of men in the be-
sieged Nationalist garrison who
have held out against the Loyal
lists for nine days had been lib
Grated and that the was "wild
rejoicing" in the streets.
