General Franco Sends Big Army In Pursuit
tcontinued from Page D

deserted today. French authorities had prepared to open the border to the first batch of 1000 women, chil- dren and old men today. But this morning Spanish authorities at Fi- gueras said the departure of these refugees would be postponed until tomorrow. one arrival told the Unl- ted Press that the roads through dranollers, the first big town north of Barcelona, were human rivers' of troops and civilians.
 Retrcatlng In Small Groups
 The troops, many carrying rifles and blankets over their shoulders, were marching in groups of 50 to GO, the informant said. Occasionally Q passing truck would pick Up few and take them to 0erona. There was no sign of artillery or machine guns, and there was on indication of organized units. The informant said that he passed at least i2,000 troops. Some of them to whom he spoke. he said, told him they ex- pected to be included in military formations at oerona, and that the Loyalists thought they could easily defend that area because of the na- tral obstacles formed by the River Ter. Bridges across the river could be destroyed, the soldiers said. It was believed that many civilian refugees already had found tempo- rary refugees and were not seeking to reach the frontier. A few army deserters reached tho border, in- cluding one group of 18 who were interned at perpignan.
 While Barcelona was put under military rule prior to the formal ar- rival Of Franco ct his new capital, an official military dispatch reported that the main strength of 20 Rebel divisions had thrust northward, cap- tured Badalona and San Juan Dc Vilasar and attacked Mataro.
 Other dispatches reported the greatest Rebel air raids yet made in northern Catalonia had centered on the new Loyaligt government resi- dence at 0igueras, killing and wounding scores of persons. Figue- ras was described as "panicky and shaotic" as Q result of Q great influx of refugees and the aerial bombard- inents.
 The bombing planes blasted ct Peraleda palace-owned by 6 mile lionnaire who now is Franco's new mayor of arcelona-which Ioyalist Premier Juan Negrin and his cabi- net ministers took over at Figueras after fleeing from Barcelona. Most government members were forced underground to escape the bombs. More Bombing
 The penitentiary and railroad station were heavily bombed. Figue- rag, with Q normal population of 60,000, struggled to care for an in- yasion of almost 600O0 refugees.
 Insurgent dispatches reported steady and swift progress Ion oil fronts in Catalonia" on the main coastal road leading from Barcelona toward 0erona and tho French from tier, the Rebel columns advanced about 18 miles. They reported can- ttre of 1900 Loyaiists. ten cannon and other war materials.
 Some Loyaligts were reported holding out ct sabadell. northwest of Bargelona, but Insurgents said the bridge over the Besos river was intact and that the town would be taken immediately.

with e normal population of 43,50o against Barcelona's 100000.
 VIII Restore Old City

Nationalist leaders planned to re- store the city as soon as possible to It's proper station-spain's largest city, one of the worlds great sea- ports, and c rich industrial center,
 The Mathematics estimated that they now had 17,000,000 of spaira people under their control, with only e,000,000 under the Loyalists.
 They hoped soon to crush tho last Loyalist resistance.
 Not oil the Nationalist troops were at Barcelona. Formidable arrl- ies were swinging into line north and northwest of the city, plan- ming to continue c relentless drive in hope that the Loyalists would fail to reorganize their lines. As for the situation in southwestern Spain, where the Loyallsts had essayed 6 "diversional' offensive, 1t was as- serted today that the Nationalists had retaken oil lost territory, and had established the line they held before the drive started.

(Continued from Page D one gallon customers, there was no chance for the regular customers of the station to be served, unless they waited in long lines, Dealers said they intended to keep up the campaigning indefinitely, Cuts Price Lower Tn the face of the circumstances, Del Nigro, instead of meeting the demands of the dealers and raising his price, lowered the price to 1lM cents per gallon.
 Automobiles of all descriptions and vintages were used by the deal- CTS in their campaign. One, which apparently was resurrected from the junk pile, was in the station for Q battery change. It was learned that the floor board was nailed down, and would require considerable ef- fort on the part of the attendant to make the transfer. One of the campaigning dealers drew wrath from his associates when he ordered two gallons instead of one.
 we intend to stay on the line indefinitely" said spokesmen for the campaigning dealers. Manager Is Fighter Manager Del Nigro told The Den- ocrat that he was doing business as usual, and intended to continue. He planned many more trips to the bank.
 He said that he had dropped the price to il ia cents per gallon after communicating with the president of the Merit Company, Samuel Bass of Boston. "There might be an- other drop if this situation contin- ues," he said.
 His station has been in Water bury Q comparatively short time. It Is the only one of It's kind in the city.
 Dealers who were campaigning Del Nigro denied that the movement had any connection or sponsorship from the Waterbury Gasoline Re- tailers association. Several of those taking part in the strategy move were not even members of the asso- ciation, while others were not even gasoline dealers, they said.
 Traffic Tied Up
 Traffic in the area was tied up considerably for some time today, especially when Del Nigro ran short of change and halted business to make c hurried trip to the bank.
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach was on the scene, and Sergeant Charles McWeeney, and Officers Frank Smith and Thomas Bedding were sent to the scene by Desk officer Joseph ?. x. Bagley, when the manager of the station complained. There was no viloence, however, and police remained ct the scene to direct traffic.
 Seems War Is Not Over
 The gasoline association president, Edward Lane, reported last Monday that the gasoline war, which had prevailed for two weeks before, was terminated. He added, however, that one station refused to join tho others in the movement to restore normal prices.
 When the price war terminated, prices of near-normalcy were re- stored: ie5; 1e.6 and l4 for gases of corresponding value. The one station did not join the movement.
 Since Monday other stations have become fidgety because the single dealer was still selling below IA cents, and the price war was on the verge of starting on e city wide basis again.
 A meeting of dealers was held last night.
 It was reported today that one other dealer, besides the one being campaigned against, was selling gasoline for i2 i-2 cents per gallon.

 still moro uncertain was the fat' of tens of thousands of refugeei who crowded into what was left ol Loyalist Spain in Catalonia. Foot was scarce, transportation linei were broken down, shelter was hart to find; misery and suffering wert apparent everywhere as Unitet Press correspondents moved alont the highways between Gerola FigureaS and the French frontier

 Loyallst Leaders Claim
 Loyalist military leaders asserted that their army had been with drawn intact to c new line north oi Barcelona, and was ready for stand. Admitting the loss of Barce' Iona, Loyalist military authoritiei ct derona said that to have pro. longed their defense of the city would have meant risking the sep. nration from the main Loyalisl army of some of it's best elementi and it's most useful and importan, material. Aside from the strategic position, Loyalists asserted that tt have remained in Barcelona would have mean 0 fight in the city streets that would have involved tho civil' ian population. The first admission Barcelona had been lost came from q Spanish press agency dispatch from derona last night, that Ear celona is now occupied by Italian troops"
 For the moment there was almost no news from the fighting fronts ai the Nationalists consolidated then great triumph in occupying Barce. Iona and prepared for new, and they hope final drive to smash tho Loyalist Catalonian army. The Na' tionalist Communique Issued aI Salamanca said that the National. ists were advancing in the north, iii the Pyrenees Mountain zones, but admitted that it was not known ex. actly where the front line was. Ma. tionaliSts said that they expected nc real resistance in the remaining part of the Cataloniafi campaign They had crowded the Loyalisl army into c corner of northeastern Spain and said that they expected the rest of the fight to be one of Nationalist army against disorgafl. ized units rather than against afl- other army. Then they planned tc reduce central Spain.

 "The situation is desperate" they said.
 Travellers arriving at Talca from Cauquenes said that all houses in the city had been destroyed. Of all the people, including wardens, in the jail, only three prisoners escaped, they said.
 These travellers said that in rural areas bodies still lay along roads.
 The communication system was getting into shape.
 Government authorities inobil- ized amateur radio operators and an emergency network was established, But hundreds of small communi- ties had not been reported, and no real estimate of the loss of life or of the material damage could yet be made.
