INSURGENT GUNS BATTER
MADRID IN ONE OF WARS
HEAVIEST SHEWNGS
MADRID. Nov. 25 WIStrick
en Madrid awoke today from an
other night of terror to count its
dead and take stock of material
datnage front ous of the heaviest
shelling' of the Spanish civil war.
Like a gusty rainstorm the
bombardment swept back and
forth across the city last night
from center to outlying residen
tial sections. Three times Madrid
residents thought the shelling had
ended, but Insurgent and govern
ment batteries did not fall silent
finally until midnight.
Disastrous as the engagement
was to this thickly populated city,
it must have been equally de
structive to insurgent big guns
emplacements, which Madrid de
fenders shelled heavily.
First reports of rescue workers
were that about a score of persons
' were killed in Madrid and many
others injured.

Oregon is a great state. It has
