Ceaseless rifle and maohine gun ire, meanwhile, ratted in the vi cinity of Valdemorillo, north of Re amares, and around the Rubio med cal institute in northwestern Mon cola, part of Madrid itself.

Many houses were razed in the neighborhood of the lorth railroad station. Government militia pushed farth er along the road to Retamares, northwest of Madrid, after a series 5f furious attacks and counter-at tacks. A government communique declar- * sd fresh fascist shock troops which j the “mtllcias” battled were compos-, ed primarily of “Moors, Legtonaires, Germans and several hundred Frenchmen.” The outbreak of sharp fighting in that sector, after comparative quiet while the insurgents directed their main fire to pierce the Mad rid defenses, was viewed apprehen sively by government military au thorities as preparatory to another fascist “big push." The government reported also its forces had advanced a fraction of a mile toward Boadllla del Monte, whtoh remained a no-man's land, under continuous shelling by both sides. Barlier advices by the Madrid au thorities said the insurgents had been “destroyed" at Fneenedilles, as miles west of Madrid and south of El Escorlal. Oen. Francisco Franco, fascist commander, lost 14,000 men in the fighting in Madrid s University City, another government announcement asserted.

Crowell, president and general manager of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, to discuss “coop eration between the railroad and the port terminals commission." “I hope Mr. Crowell and Mr. Mor ris Beaman, manager of the term inals. will be here as I wish to dis cuss the railroad and port matter with them in detail before I go out of office," the governor explained. The chief executive, asked about printed statements that the finan Plal wmH nf fho rullmari “a state secret,” pointed out It could not- be m the railroad was owned snd operated by an independent corporation in which the state own* a majority of the stock. "The books of the railroad." the governor said, “are just a* much the private property of the corporation as are those of any other railroad like the Atlantic Coast Line. But, it is gratifying to know that th rail road has been operating ‘in the black’ in its month by month op erations for some month* now.
