At the beginning of last night's attack by the insurgents, the battle in that sector already had been raging for more than 84 hours without a break, with the heaviest losses reported by both sides. The position of the trapped 10,000 nationalist soldiers hourly grew more precarious, loyalist army reports said. Loyalist troops, who pinched off the insurgent legions two days ago, fought tenaciously to hold their gains and daylight found them holding their own all along the line, army dispatches said. Censure Attitude London, Apr. 13 — (U.R) —Labor party leaders, constituting the official opposition, have decided to move a vote of censure against the government tomorrow for its atti- , tude on the Bilbao blockade, it was learned today. Regardless of the censure motion — whose defeat was assured —a 1 bitter political fight seemed cer- j tain against the decision to recognize the Spanish nationalist blockade of Bilbao as a "special situa- j tion.” Conservatives, discussing the problem outside the house of com- ■ mons. called the government's decision "a wise gesture of cautious i neutrality.” Labor men used such ; terms as “cowardly surrender." There were reports in political circles that the government was , influenced not only by diplomatic I caution but by strong pressure I from navy chieftains. The navy men were represented as feeling that opposition to the blockade , Bilbao, where mines and not warships constitute the chief hazard. ' was not worth the risk involved. Comment from Spanish loyalist sources was of bitter tone. At

Valencia, the United Proas correspondent reported, official sources wore astounded by the government's attitude. They held that submission to the nationalist blockade constituted ift fact an agreeI ment with the blockade, and they ' recalled bitterly how British warships hastened to Malaga, when I that l>lg seaport fell into national- ; Ist hands, with loads of food. Now thousands of women and children refugees at Bilbao, they said, are ' hungry. They suggested, too, that what' ' they regarded as a surrender to I the nationalists and to their Nazi-1 1 Fascist backers meant not a vic- | | tory for peace but an encourage- ■ ment of further aggression. German Nasis and Italian Fas-, I cists, on the other hand, were dis ; appointed because Great Britain I did not formally recognize the na- i tionalists as belligerents with the right to blockade ports. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, in a speech last night at Liverpool, further developed the government's views on Spanish problems. He Issued another stern warning —this time that if foreign intervention in Spain did not cease at the moment the new control plan to enforce neutrality became effective, Britain would view the situation thus created with "the gravest concern." Similar expressions have been made at recurrent intervals in past months, in the government's effort to preserve as great a measure of neutrality as it could in a difficult situation. GUERNSEY CLUB (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i acter of the previous shows and 1 predicted the coming show to be one of the best. He further stated that in developing a real herd of ' dairy cows that health was one of the first essentials. Next in order , he placed records —beginning first with the record obtained by the ; Dairy Herd Improvement Association work and second, advanced registry work as developed by the various breed associations. The third point he made was that the ; dairymen should read their own breed papers, so that they could keep abreast of developments within the breed. i County Agent Archbold spoke I briefly on the advantages of the ; annual shows, pointing out that it | gives the breeders a chance to become better acquainted, that it is an economical way to advertise their cattle, and it gives an oppor- , tunity for expression in boys and girls’ activities —namely: 4-H club work. In conclusion Mr. Lehman pledg ed the support of the Adams County Guernsey cattle club for 4-H , Calf club work. o Two Negroes Lynched By Mississippi Mob Wiuona.
