Eo rth Trenors Felt In Mass.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 26. '(UP)-- Earth tremors were reported in this city and at other points along the Massachusetts north short today.
 The first shock was felt here at 9:3e a. m. More tremors came ct 9:63 Q. m. Windows rattled and pic. lures were jared from walls, but no damage was reported.
 At nearby Salem, police reported that the tremors were accompanied by ''something that sounded like an explosion" Three distinct disturb ances, each lasting three or foui minutes, were felt in that city.
 At the Weston College seismo- graph station, the Rev. Daniel Linehan, s. J., reported that the disturbance did not register on his less sensitive apparatus which he was able to examine immediately Records on his Representative inc struments would not be available until tomorrow morning, he said.
 "If 1t were an earthquake, IL would have readily shown on my less sensitive seismograph," he said. My guess is that 1t resulted either from some sort of depth charge or the firing of heavy guns at sea. The shock from such firing could be felt for 50 miles on day like this when low cloud conditions prevail but people on shore would not neces. sarily hear the explosion"

 London, october %. - (Up) = Spanish Republican sources broaos cast reports today that on armed liprislng against the Falangist re Rilne of General Francisco Franco was 'spreading throughout spain" and fighting had broken out in the areas of Austrias, Andalucia, Toledo and Leon, where 'sone inhabited lo- calities have been liberated"
 At the same time Francois Radio Nacional said outbreaks in the Franco-s -spanish border area had been put down and frontier towns can feel safe and secure because the remainder of the men have thrown away their arms, are hiding In the mountains, and eventually will surrender"
 Conflicting accounts of the unrest in Spain left the situation obscure.
 Radio Toulouse in France sald i've have received very reliable news from Spain," and followed with the report of fighting in the Lerida province of Catalonia and Navarro province in the Basque area. 10 elaborated with four collateral claims of the Republicans:
 1. The outbreaks originated spon- taneously in Spain, and "hroadcasts that incidents in Lerida province were provoked by spanish 0uerrillas in France are without foundation"
 2. The resistance movement IS spreading throughou Spain and fighting is being intensified In other areas including Asturias, Aildalucia, Toleo and Leon.
 8. The Catholic clergy in Lerida Province is sympathetic, and "the guerriilas met with sympathetic reception from the civilian popula. tion."
 {. Some of Franco's soldiery is sympathetic toward the guerrillas as demonstrated by their defiance of orders by firing in the air 90 as not to hit the guerrillas in Navarra.
 Band Dwlndles
 A United Press dispatch from Paris quoted reliable infornantS re- turning from the Spanish frontier as saying the original group of 20,- 900 armed Republicans in south France was dwindling as bands nightly crossed the frontier to join the Maquis.
 French authorleies were unable to enforce orders to keep the Repuh- licans i2 miles from the frontier, and guards could not check the traffic across the Pyrenees.
 Radio Naclonal, under Q BudgoS dateline, reported an interview with Gen. Juan Vague, directing opera tons against the guerriilas. He said efforts to organize guerrilla bands were frustrated because they lacked the support of the people.
 "On Oct. { two groups of Spanish Red refugees came from France and appeared at points in the neighbor- hood Of Valcarlos and the Roncal valley Gin Navarra ProvInce) :" Vague was quoted. Orders were given to annihilate the Reds within eight days. The job was accomplished in six days"
