ST. JOHN'S, Nfld, Jan, l5 — (GP Cable) —Arrival of half a million one-cent pieces on the siealnship Newfoundland from England has relieved a shortage of these coins experienced in the colony for some time. '

The new coins are the same size as Canadian and United states pennies. The design on them is the Pitcher lant, found throughout Newfound and. Queen Victoria chose that design for the old cent but for these coins the design has been redrawn by Mrs. Harold Ayre to resemble the plant more closely.

Due to the shortage of coin in one outpori, cheques presented to thebank there and t uiril-lg pay ment of odd cents coud not be paid in full. The difference was paid in boxes of matches if the presenter of the cheque cared to accept.

along the entire Catalonlan front.

The Government at first denied the fall of Tarragona, but later issued an official communique that “Spanish fon- ces, obeying orders given by the High Command, withdrew to positions already chosen io the east of the Valle-Tar-

ragona line.”

In southern Catalonia: the Insurgent line was like a fishhook with its barb pointing eastward at the defences of the Government capital against which General Franco’a

24-day-old push is aimed.

The point of the hook was buried in the outposts of [new Government defence lines where the mountains bor- dering Barcelona Province meet the Mediterranean about

53 miles southwest of the capital.

The hook itself curved back about 10 miles to Tar- ragona-second most important city In Catalonia-and: then straightened north to the little town of BQTTPTIT‘ where Franco's forces have crossed the border into Bar
