EBRO BATTLE
COMMAND OF AIR HELD BY REBELS BRIDGES DESTROYED AT DAWN EACH DAY. ADEQUATE FLOW OF SUPPLIES BLOCKED. (Recd This Day, 12.35 p.m.) SARAGOSSA, July 31. General Franco’s troops claim steady progress near Gandesa. Their superiority in aircraft and artillery compels the loyalists to rush supplies at night across hastily constructed pontoon bridges over the Ebro, which the rebels destroy at dawn, thus preventing the adequate munittioning and victualling pf the loyalists. EARLY KNOCK-OUT OR ANOTHER WINTER OF WAR. GREAT EFFORT BY REBELS IMPENDING. (Recd This Day, 11.10 p.m.) LONDON, July 31. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Saragossa correspondent expresses an opinion that the war would last through an additional winter unless a knock-out blow is speedily administered. General Franco's troops, bivouacking in blistering sunshine beside incredibly dusty roads, face the hottest month of the year and the knowledge that a supreme effort to destroy the loyalists will shortly be demanded of them.
