As Franco Takes Over In Barcelona-

BY LARRY ALLEN Associated Press Iorelfn Stall BARCELONA-Jan. 2 —(CP)- remand; ho! Barcelona: war- weary an ungry populs on en- joyed bread and milk tonight n General Francisco Franco's trucks brought food to replenish the city's empty cupboards and hi! I el rolled on toward the French bor- der.

As fast as his forces of recon- struction moved into the con- quered govenunent capital legions pressed on in u: effort to wipe out the last Government re- ‘ ‘ in northeast Spain.

There scarcely had been n halt since Barcelona. fell without l. struggle yesterday.

Without a pause, the Insurgent armies pushed on northward to within less than ‘l0 miles of the wrench border, leaving a. half doz- a en captured towns and viilagesin their wake.

A Government column ﬂeeing along the coast was reported to have been so surprised by the rapid I surgent advance tine many were ta en prisoner along with 10 field guns and other war material. Quantities of stores were found still unpacked on wharves in Bar- celona's port.

(Government forceshold another "island" of territory in south and central ain, including the citielas of Madrl and Valencia. Bhou fb-qﬂat-slonicn front. collapsed-he Government still would have slightly more than one fourth of Spain for which it has declared it will fight to the bitter end.)

A huge task faced the Insurgent conquerors of desolate Barcleonu. ev must feed an estimated l.- 500000 persons who have been living on meagre rations. Crowds surged against the irrn doors of supply centres while workers rationed out bread. condensed milk and some meat. Linea of men, women and children waited with pans. plates and sacks to be hand- ed what. for many, was the first substantial meal in weeks.

Most of the men. women and children were bareheaded despite northern Spain's hard winter. Many! had nn coats and some were without shoes.

Franco left municipal rule to his

military zovemor, General Eladio Alvarez Arenas. One 0' the first Insurgent. orders was - for the sur- rendu- of all firearms held by citizens. Suspended electric light and telephone services were restored. Subwav trains began running a- gain. ‘lhour-ands of prisoners were liberated.

Regular police forces rapidly replaced the original forces of oc- cupation and with General Alvarez Arenas in personal command the icitvb wheels slowly started turn- n9

(By Pat Ussher, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Jan.‘ 27—(C. P. Cable)--Brltain’s greatest opportunity is to act as Europe's mediator, Sir John Simon told a Durham audience tonight as Government concern mounted: over the European ituation.

“A stronger Britain is the best guarantee for peace,” said the Chancellor of the Exchequer while other Cabinet Ministers in speeches or published statements reviewed

Meanwhile a powerful group of 10 national figures issued an appeal to Germany to join in an effort to end in- ternational enmity. Bent by radio, the appeal called upon Chancellor Hitler and the German people to banish “the spectre of war and enmity. between nations.”

Britain's detormlnation to be ready should l. fresh -crisis develop was signified in the appointment announced in the London Gazette of Major-General H. 0. B. Wemysl as director of mobilization.
