Only in the BelellPc sector southeast of Zaragoza, the Insur- gents said. did the Government continue to exert pressure. There also was. heavy fighting farther to the south ln the Carbonero Moun- tuins below Teruel.

Government defence command- ers, nltllough admitting Insurgent counter-attacks have "slowed up somewhat" the offensive. on the Aragon front. declared theirtroops will hold every important position.

They acknowledged terrific pres- sure to make their siege lines at Belchite. 20 miles south of Zara- gozn. untenable.

“We have driven the enemy forces back on the Aragon front". the Insurgent dispatches said, "The Government has suffered terrific losses of manpower in the last xveck." ~

In northwest Spain, General Franco's troops crossed the San- iandcr border into the province oi’ Asturias. virtually llnreslsted by
