TENSION IN BARCELONA POSSIBILITY OF EXCESSES BY EITHER SIDE. DRASTIC PRECAUTIONS TAKEN. BARCELONA, April 14. Drastic precautions are being taken to meet the peril of insurgent sympathisers within the city. Many are apprehensive because of a story that sympathisers have compiled a list of marked men among the Republicans. The populace fears excesses when General Franco approaches. Conversely, the Republican extremists may be tempted to take the law into their own hands and exterminate sympathisers before General Franco is at the gates of the city. The precautions include nocturnal visits to houses to round up Franco sympathisers. REBEL GAINS COASTAL ROAD AND RAILWAY CENTRE. VITAL COMMUNICATIONS CUT.
