 Preparations are being made to move the bulk of Spanish Loyalist government machinery to Valencia in case the defense of Barcelona be- comes hopeless, uncensored advices from Loyalist territory disclosed to- day.
 The defense of Catalonia would be continued, however, 1t was asserted with heroic Gerona, besieged 26 times and captured four times in a history which runs back past Roman times, as the base.
 Coincidently with its preparations for evacuation of Barcelona if evac- uation became c necessity, the Loy. alist governmen texerted every ef- fort possible to strengthen the Cata- lonian defenses and to save Barce- Iona.
 The uncensored advices which reached the United Press said that several thousand Loyalist troops had arrived at Barcelona from Valencia and that others nght arrive.
 Evacuation May Come
 According to these advices, Presi- dent Manuel Azana and Premier Juan Negrin, of the republican government, had decided to remain at Barcelona as long as possible Nevertheless, 1t was necessary for them and other Loyalist leaders to envsage the possibility that evac- uation might be forced.
