Madrid hill battle scars rival armies clash on Pinzarron
From Pinzarron hill the flower of Spain's rival armies fought a heavy battle. Government troops twice charged and were pushed back by machine gun and rifle fire before gaining a foothold. Insurgents still held lines on the summit controlling a section of the Madrid to coast highway. In Washington, senators eyed public opinion to blunt any filibuster against Roosevelt court reform, expecting a storm of condemnation if tactics stalled the vote.
