Mutiny Grows In Ranks Of Gen. Franco’s Fascists’

Oviedo Population Does Not Respond To Cali

VALENCIA, Spain, Feb. i1— 4FP)—For several days, loyalists whave heard cannonading and rifle- fire inside Yeruel and Cordoba, in- dicating the apparent outbreak of anternal rebellion in the Fascist manks.

Im further confirmation of dis- Sension in Fascist ranks, sovern- ment forces advancing to Espinosa de los Monteros found 80 dead Moors, silled by Fascists during in- ternal fighting. Rumblings of frowing strife among Franco's forees was noted as lone ago as January 19 when the ABC, pub- lished in Fascist-held Seville, re- ported the crushing of a rebel- dion near Vallabarrero.

At Caspe, on the Aragon front, 4150 persons escaped from Sara- 2ossa to the loyalists. They de- <lared that whole famlies have Seen exterminated in Saragossa. About 800 prisoners were executed, one fugitive stated, while he was imprisoned there.

Qn Jan. 20, the Sevile ABC sprinted an editorial which stated: “The population of Oviedo has not Zesponded to the patriotic cali for volunteers. Not more than 1,500 re— plied.’ Such evidence of disaffec- tion among Franco’s troops, now piling up, emphasizes the lack of mass support for the Fascist cause among the Spanish people in ter- ritory held by the rebels. There- fore they must depend upon con- tinued aid from the Fascist rulers of Germany and Italy.

GERMANY HAS 2,000 AGENTS ACTIVE IN US.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11—{FP)—The “Brown International” maintains 2,000 agents in the US to spread Propasanda and “remove” reitugees inimical to Hitler, according to Baron Rolf von Reintenstein, one- time major on the German general staff, who has particular reason to fear Nazi activities in the US:

US Progressives Discuss

Building Of

In US Way’”’

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—(FP)—How te build a People’s Front, or its US equivalent, was a topic discussed by outstandins progressives at a recent banquet sSiven by Common Sense, liberal magazine. Highlights of opin- ions were:

Rep. Thomas R. Amlie (Prog., Wisc.): “We have to use the utmost Care that we do not drive a wedge between the people who are going our way. There is a grave danger of making the mistake some of our friends made in Germany—that of assuming that Since the middle elasses were being liquidated, they would immediately join the working class... .””

Former Rep. Vito Marcantonio of Wew York: “Only by the preserva- tion and extension of democratic rights can the fight against reaction be won. The American people are not ready for revolution. The Peo- ple’s Front cannot be based on masked revolution. Hence we can- not smugele in such slogans as pro- ductien-for-use. That does not mean there is no place in the People’s Front for advocates on production— for-use. They are indispensable

The red-headed MP was “amazed at the scrupulous care sit-in Stril- ers are taking of plants. “It looks to me as if the crucial issue in Flint is, shall Pres. Roosevelt and Gov.

BEHIND THE SPANISH

BARRICADES — By Jobn Langdon-Davies. $2.20. John Langdon-Davies (until re-

cently Spanish correspondent of the London News-Chronicle) is an able journalist who knows 2nd loves Spain as much as he fears and hates fascism. Both of these quali- ties are vividly evident in this timely book. Here, in the guise of a series of unforgettable pen pic- tures, you may see the real peo- ple of Spain—its workers, peas- ants, artists and intellectuals—as they gathered themseives together in the first bitter weeks oi their struggle against General Franco and his foreign mercenaries. Most

of the material is of the eye-witness variety; and Mr. Davies’ eyes have seen more than enough to convince all but the die-hard reactionuries

that if there is cruelty, horror and 4

guilt in Spain today, it was initi- ated and is being continually fed by the rebels and their foreign sup- porters. Of particular value are the author's detailed accounts of the political and social backgrounds of Catalonia, which he knows ex- ceptionally well; his dramatic stories of fascist barbarity, especi- ally in regard to the “burning of the churches”; and his well-docu- mented indictment of the Catholic Chureh—so many of whose humble devotees, both lay and clerical, are fighting gallantly with, and for, the loyalists. You will learn also some- thing of the terrible handicaps of Superstition, ignorance and illiter- acy under which the Spanish people must struggle at the very moment when the most brilliant leadership is required to beat back the waves of hot steel and cold fury released by the fascist insurgents. And you will understand Mr. Davies’ emo- tions when, at the very end of his passionate yet restrained narrative, he writes:

“We turn in humility to the humble folk of Spain, republicans, socialists, communists, syndicalists, anarchists, who are grouping in horror with their bare hands to Save the light (of human freedom) from flickering out. We turn in anger to those in England (and America!) who want the light to. die, and we cry in words to which
