12 Spaniards Killed In Fight In France French Resistance Troops In Attack Chambery, France, June 16.--(UP) French resistance members fought an hour-long pitched battle here late yesterday with troops of the Spanish Blue division, which fought the Russians on the eastern front, and killed 12 Spaniards. Approximately 100 Spaniards and several Frenchmen were wounded in the fighting. A sealed train brought the Spaniards here on their way home to Spain from Switzerland, where they had been interned after fighting as volunteers with the Wehrmacht on the eastern front. As the train drew into Chambery station, the French attacked. They smashed windows and ripped off doors to get at the Spaniards inside. Equipment and personal belongings being taken home by the Spaniards were tossed out on the station platform, where a crowd pounced upon them. The battle raged an hour before railroad officials could get the train moving again. Finally the train started off in the direction of Aix-les-Bains. Members of the resistance movement had blown up a section of another line from this town to Grenoble, where several thousand Frenchmen were awaiting the Spaniards with the declared intention of lynching them. The Blue division was officially dissolved by Generalissimo Francisco Franco over a year ago. But members who wanted to remain on the eastern front as volunteers in the Wehrmacht were allowed to do so. After the German collapse, the Spanish consul at Munich gave papers to troops of the division enabling them to enter Switzerland. The Swiss arranged for their repatriation byway of France'. 0 _____ Order Three Cities To Cease Pollution Indianapolis, June 16 —(UP) — Three Hoosier cities were ordered by the Indiana stream pollution control board today to cease polluting their neighboring streams.
