Insurgents were driving through the southern slopes of the Espadan Mountains in a frontal attack against the old town which spans a valley between two castlecrowned hills. The fall of Segorbe, with main government army still to the northwest at Viver, virtually would trap the flower of General Jose Miaja's troops. Both the highway and the railroad already were under the fire of insurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco's long-range artillery.

He wore pajamas borrowed from John Cudahy, United States minister.

"I want a nice long rest," he told Cudahy last night. "Don't wake me for a long time. I'll sleep through breakfast." He had the matter of the legality of his landing to settle with Trish facials, but men with names like Contran and Cudahy not likely to have trouble here getting over a technical difficulty when it concerns 2. flight like Corrigan's to Dublin. No Worry Over Clothes He won't have to worry about clothes.

Admiring tailors already have sent the daring aviator two new outfits, free. He had offers of contracts, too, although he had been here less than a day, but it was understood he turned them all down with the statement, "I prefer to be footloose while I am here and won't sign anything." Footloose and fancy free, he is staying in Dublin a day or two without planning for the future. The "crate" that took him the 3,150 miles from New York to Dublin's Baldonnel airdrome WAS locked up at Baldonnel to safeguard it from souvenir hunters. Under the Air Navigation Pact, United States fliers are permitted to land in Eire on unscheduled flights if their passports are in order. But Corrigan did not bring a passport.

Such a document is not needed to fly from New York to California, as Corrigan insisted he thought he was doing until he sighted Irish shores. Technically "Detained" Technically Corrigan was "detained" today pending an examination of credentials and communication with the United government. But little trouble was expected because of the unorthodox flight. Newspapers burst into praise. The Northern Whig of Belfast said: "Flying the Atlantic in an old dilapidated monoplane, Corrigan turned a gamble with fate into a brilliant and jaunty triumph." The Irish News said: "Corrigan's feat without wireless, weather reports, maps or adequate instruments leaves us almost speechless with amazement.

"When the initial shock is over. the hand of everyone will be lifted to salute this intrepid adventurer with an Irish name." PREPARING WELCOME Associated Press. NEW YORK, July Corrigan today faced a warm and probably profitable welcome home and nothing worse than a spanking out behind the hangar at the hands of a forgiving government. For a transatlantic flight violating all the United States air regulations, a daring, unpredicted ocean hop before a world now yawning over fliers who can let a robot do the heavy work and reach announced destinations on schedule, riches may be the reward if Corrigan will take them. Stifling snickers that turned to open-mouthed amazement and then to admiration, persons of influence indicated his penalty, if any, for failing to get government permission for the flight would be light.

Anti-Russian Display By Group of Japanese Associated Press. TOKYO, July 19-Twenty-five Japanese, carrying heavy canes and clubs and wearing arm bands of the Nationalist Society, demonstrated before the Soviet Russian embassy today. "Get out of Manchukuo will throw you out." some yelled, referring to recent reported clashes on the ManchukuoSiberia frontier. They were not permitted to I enter the embassy grounds. While there has been a decided increase in auto accidents causing damages of $50 or more reported to city police to date this year as compared with 1937, the number of fatalities has been reduced by four.

Only accidents in which the damages reach $50 or more must be reported to police. During the same period toast year, this is from January 1 19, there were 141 crashes reported while this year no fewer than 183 have been reported, an increase of 42. The number of fatalities for the 1931 period reached nine while this year there have been five fatal crashes, two of which happened when cars were backing up in yards and not on city streets. The reason for the increase in the number of accidents reported is attributed to the fact that damage mounts faster on 1 1938 cars. For example, repairing bumpers, fenders and grills comes higher this year.

SEE A DARK MAN GOING OUT OF YOUR LIFE! commerce, on the official side, to the Irish- societies of New York, on the sentimental, the flight so caught imagination that the policy was to forgive and not forget so far as a welcome is concerned. Prepare "Celebrity Trail." Already, they're dusting off the "celebrity trail" through New York travelled only last week by Howard Hughes and his four world girdler companions. Mulligan, torn between Irish pride and duty, asserted between chuckles that something would have to be done. His first concern was to prevent Corrigan from jumping into his ship and flying home. Corrigan promised interviewers in Ireland he would not attempt to backtrack his uncharted trail across the Atlantic, a route carefully traversed six previous times by aviators flying solo and mainly with elaborate instruments as aids certainly in planes prettier than Corrigan's obsolete Curtiss Robin, 1929 model.

The mild burst of publicity that accompanied Corrigan's 28- hour non-stop flight from Long Beach, to New York July 9, a smattering of space on the Howard Hughes takemere, off around the world, brought several "feeler" offers to the flyer. Profits Piling Up. Now that he has completely captured the front pages concrete offers of profit are piling up. Oil companies whose regularly prepared products fueled and lubricated Corrigan's plane checked Floyd Bennett field yesterday to learn just what he bought or bartered from them. One representative, thinking Corrigan merely had intended to complete his transcontinental round trip with a nonstop hop back to Long Beach, offered $5 worth of oil for the right to use Corrigan's name in advertisements.

Corrigan declined to sign, offered to pay and was given the oil anyway. A New Jersey amusement park announced a $25,000 offer if Corrigan would christen his plane with its name. An airline previously signed him to a contract to fly the old "Corrigan Clipper" over its route, making all stops, if he completed his round trip by flying back to Long Beach nonstop -as he announced he was doing when he took off for Ireland. Irish Rally Round. Upon hearing that difficulties might arise from Corrigan's violation of the rules, Irish organizations in New York immediately offered any help he might needlegal or otherwise -in the way of defence.

Charles Halley, transportation commissioner, rounded up Hibernian backing and cabled Corrigan: "Your error in landing in Dublin instead of California pleased many people. If you are in difficulties, be assured that there are many thousands here who will be glad to render any assistance possible Although Corrigan steadfastly assured the Irish populace that he thought all the time he was flying to California, that his compass worked backwards or something, he can hardly plead innocent when brought to the bar of the federal bureau controlling aircraft. He applied once before for permission to fly to Ireland and was refused. Friends at Roosevelt disclosed that promptly thereafter he spent some time in New England vainly searching for an obscure field for a quiet takeoff overseas last summer. Among the first offers cabled to him was that of the Advertising Club of New York to finance his return to the United Statesby boat.

Honors already are heaping upon the unpredictable non-stopper, not the least of which is a life membership in the Liars' Club Burlington, on the basis of his straight-faced, persistent assertions he thought he was flying toward California. Annual Service Held At Hopetown Cemetery Special to The Evening Citizen. MIDDLEVILLE. July annual decoration service of the Hopetown cemetery was held there Sunday afternoon.
