Loyal Planes Scatter Army of Insurgents Near Madrid
A fleet of 54 government aircraft dispersed an insurgent force of 4 000 to 5 000 fighters in the Guadalaraja area northeast of Madrid. Rebels reportedly planned another drive toward Madrid along the Aragon Highway from Guadalajara where Italian forces were routed in March. In Carabanchel southwest of Madrid about 40 rebels were buried when troops dynamited a block of houses. Basque refugees will be evacuated from the Bilbao area aboard merchant ships under British protection, with French and British warships ready to enforce safety beyond the three mile limit. Loyalists, reinforced by fighters and planes, attacked east of Bilbao at Bermeo Amorbieta and Guernica, claiming gains while nationalists and Italians retreated. Battles included bomb and machine gun strikes as newly arrived Loyalist ships joined land and air forces in heavy bombardment.
