U. S. MEDICAL UNITS
WILL GO TO SPAIN
State Department Changes
Regulation to Permit
Passports.
Br the Associated Press.
Medical and relief units will be
permitted to go from the United States
to Spain under a changed regulation
announced by the State Department
yesterday.
The department had been refusing
to grant passports to sufh units, de
claring Its refusal was in line with
the United States policy of imparti
ality toward the warring forces in
Spain.
Reversal Unexplained.
No explanation was given for re
versal of regulations. "The Friends
of Spanish Democracy,” an organi
zation seeking to send medical relief
to Loyalists, had protested the earlier
policy as equivalent to discrimination
against the Loyalists.
The State Department also an
nounced it will authorize American
naval vessels to evacuate more than
100 Cuban refugees from Spain as
soon as arrangements can be made for
landing them in France.
The Cuban government, which re
quested such assistance, now is said
to be seeking French permission for
disembarking the refugees in Mar
seille.
Warships May Take Them Off.
When this arrangement is perfected,
the State Department said, orders
would be issued to the American
cruiser Raleigh or possibly two de
stroyers in the American naval squad
ron in European waters to take them
off, probably at some port on the East
Coast of Spain.
The refugees are said to have been
in the Cuban Embassy in besieged
Madrid for some time. Their exact
number was not known here.
AID TO BE SPEEDED.
Loyalists’ Friends in New York to Send
Medical Unit.
NEW YORK. March 13 Amer
ican sympathizers with the Spanish
Loyalist government prepared late to
day to broaden their aid to that gov
ernment as the State Department in
Washington relaxed relief restrictions
previously operating against them.
The medical bureau of the American
Friends of Spanish Democracy an
nounced it would speed a second med
ical unit to Spain aboard the liner
Normandie, sailing March 17.
At the same time it said it would
collect money for raising and equip
ping five other such contingents, thus
providing seven. The first was sent
across in January, shortly before the
passage early in this session of Con
gress of new neutrality legislation.

LONDON, March 14 (Sunday) C45).
—Warships of four nations drew a net

the international sea patrol for su

some weeks as each country yet must

REBEL ATTACK REPULSED.
Jarama Front Southeast of Capital
Mired by Rains.
MADRID, March 13 (A3).—Govern
ment forces were reported tonight to
have repulsed a new insurgent at
tack on the Jarama front, southeast
of Madrid.
The insurgents launched a fierce
onslaught in the valley below Madrid
with cavalry and artillery, despite
drenching rains.
Government commanders said they
believed the renewed activities in the
Jarama sector were intended to de
termine if Madrid’s defenses were
weakened by the withdrawal of sea
soned troops to bolster defensive posi
tions in Guadalajara Province, to the
northeast.
Dispatches were received today say
ing the government forces had ad
vanced 3 miles Friday in a surge back
from their retreat in the heavy fight
ing in Guadalajara.
Commanded personally by Gen. Jose
Mlaja, commander of government
troops in Central Spain, Madrid's
army was reported to have driven in
surgents from their most advanced
positions in the Guadalajara offen
sive under a hail of fire.
Trijueque, 44 miles northeast of Ma
drid, where Generalissimo Francisco
Franco admittedly had pushed the
vanguard of his insurgent army, was
said to have been made untenable
under the combined broadsides of gov
ernment bombing planes and machine
gunners.
Twenty-three insurgent tanks were
reported destroyed and a complete
artillery battery seized.
The government announced that
besides 12 field pieces its forces cap
tured a quantity of automatic rifles,
two anti-aircraft guns, a large quan
tity of hand grenades, gas masks and
60 machine guns.
The announcement said 18 addi
tional Italians fighting with the in
surgents were captured.
i Communiques to insurgent head
quarters at Soria disclosed Madrid's
militiamen had counter-attacked
twice. But, the advices said, the effort

to disrupt the insurgent advance down
the Aragon-Madrid road was at heavy
cost to the main body of government
troops.
(Motorized divisions of insurgent
legionnaires were reported to have
eradicated “pockets” of government
forces behind the new front with oc
cupation of several additional villages.
One of these, Cogolludo, about 15
miles north of Trijueque, is on Gen.
Franco's right flank, where govern
ment troops had harassed his col
umns.)
Insurgent bombing squadrons were
reported to have subjected the Barce
lona region to heavy Are. Official re
ports, however, said little damage was
done.
Eighty incendiary bombs were
dropped near the electric plant at San
Adrian de Besos, outside Barcelona,
and inhabitants of the city scurried
into basements, the dispatches report
ed. Government pursuit planes were
said to have chased the Insurgent
bombers before they could attack Bar
celona itself, however.
The Madrid defense junta issued an
order prohibiting the sale of bread
and sandwiches in bars and cafes, de
claring it was a public injustice to
permit such sales when homes lacked
some of the necessities. The order is I
to become effective March 16.

THE GREATEST SALES IN HISTORY
The new La Salle V-8 is selling at the fastest
rate in La Salle history. And small wonder—for
here, surely, is the greatest value the fine-car field
has ever seen.
Prices begin at only $1005 for a car designed
and built entirely by Cadillac—and powered by
a 125 horsepower V-8 Cadillac engine!
And, remember, that is the DELIVERED
PRICE AT DETROIT, and includes all standard
accessories. Only transportation, state and local
sales taxes need be added.
The new La Salle V-8 is economical, too. It
is unusually sparing of gasoline and oil, while
service costs are surprisingly low.
»■ i ■ ■ ■
In fact, many say their new La Salles cost less
to drive than cars of even lower price.
Before you buy a car at any price, we urge
you to look at La Salle. The chances are your
present car will make the down payment.
