Madrid Revolt
Reported By
Nationalist

Avilla, Spain, March SLAP
The Spanish nationalisss have re-
ceived reports that republican poll
teal leaders opposed to Premier
Negrin are attempting to form a new
government in Madrid
The nationalist regard this situa-
ton as holding the possibility of I'M
conditional surrender, which General
Franco has demanded as an alter
native to a nationalist offensive a.
gainst the Madrid Valencia-Alic
zone. The leaders of the so-called
republican dissidents are said to be
opposed to communists, which form
much of Negrin's support, and to rep
resent large part of Madrid's popu-
lation, which nationalist say have
been resulting in calls for bread or
Immediate surrender.
Reports of mass assertions are also
reported despite the attempts to pre-
vent the citizens from going to ma
tional siege lines around the city.

A crowd of spectators watched

humble and he is clever. He pos
