Much of Northern Spain was in rebel hands along .with 53110 cities in the south.

Another pitched battle reported- ly was underway between Oyarzun and Renteria, suburbs of San Seb- astlan. All communication between San Sebastian and rrun has been severed, it was said.

Tile British embassy will be mov- ed to the summer villa of Sir Henry Chilton, the ambessad at zarus, and the French embassy to Fontarabia. The embassies of the United state, Italy and Argen-tino and the leizatlons of Norway and Czechoslovakia are being trans- £e_r1rned from San Sebastian to

Rebel troops from oyzarun. Seven miles to the southeast were reported marching l.rlt.o San Seb- atian with the the loyalist forces barricading themselves irl the city’s churches.

A garirson of 400 rebels was re- ported still in control of Loyola fortress despite istensive bombard- ment by a government armored railway train from Irun.

French authorities held army planes, supported by police in readiness to guard French soil and protect French citizens frarn any overflow of the Spanish civil war into France.

Loyalist artiilwry went into act- ion late in the day when the gar- rison at San Marco fort. near Renterla shelled the hills of Our- zun. General Emilio Mollrs north- ern column of rebel forces was re- ported concentrated there.

Guns still boomed tonight and the town. except for a church held by loyalists, was believed in the hands of the rebels.

Most of the rebel forces west of San Sebastian were believed marching southward to contact reinforcements from Burgos at Oyarzun.

Four hundred rebel troops in the Loyola garrison near San Schis-
