Insurgents on the Teruel Front by Courier to Zaragoza Dec Francisco Franco today sent -200 warplanes aloft and started two armies forward to relieve halesguered troops in the Teruel Alcazar of the Aragon front The Insurgent command sent armies at each flank of 60000 Gov' erament soldiers furiously digging themselves in along the line they reached last week in their surprise offensive Foreign newapaper men circulating freely on this insurgent front found that the Government had cut squarely across the nose of the Nationalist salient that for a year spd a half had been jutting toward NAllancia with Teruel at its tip France's Strategy Franco's strategy was to- sue-round Teruel and by turning the situation into a siege within a siege deliver the trapped garrison In one great turning of the tables While Franco's land forces shoved against 'tho extremities of the new Government line the 200 planes drenched the fortifications With bombs and machine gun fire Only two Government pursuit planes appeared all day (A Barcelona said yesterday's insurgent counter-drive at Teruel was repulsed and Government officers expressed the -belief the insurgent attack was made merely to stave off a further Government than to relieve the Teruel garrison) The Government line runs from beyong Celadas about twelve miles northwest of Teruel and crosses the main road from Teruel to Zaragoza about five miles out of Teruel then continues into Los Morrones mountains west of the city just phort of Zezu about twelve miles west Teruel In heavy fighting Franco's Men woke through the Government's right wing and cut a road between Celadas and Concud while on the other end of the line another army trying to drive around the Govern forces occupied the heights of Molineto In Los Morrones But the mountainland going waa heavy and the temperature wu well below freezing Renck Hold Site Majors Barbaradoso and Rey with 1000 men left of the eighteenth regiment of native Aragonese mostly from Zaragoza continued to hold the seminary building in Zaragoza (Government reports have said 3000 Insurgent troops made op the beleaguered garrison and that the siege Tuesday forced the incur- gents out of the seminary In a hand grenade assault) (The Government advice said the garrison and a body of civilians were holding a convent and the civil governor's palace) The beleaguered insurgents sent reassuring messages by short wave wireless to Franco's field headquarters insisting they could hold out in Teruel for weeks Fliers brought pack word that the defenseit of the thick-walled stone building on a hillside in the center of Teruel seemed intact The building is much like the famed Toledo Alcazar military pchool where a band of insurgents Withstood a fierce two-month Government siege at the start of the civil war 0 Earth Temblor Felt Ily Waters Of Wells in Utah yds Seethe 111tio tottoa Main WILLIAM ANDREW JOHNSON years and I take a little toddy now and
