Madrid, Nov. 13.

Yesterday saw the bitterest infantry fighting of the siege of Madrid, the loyalists repeatedly repulsing the rebels.

Early this morning, the rebels were still south of the Manzanares River, but it is indicated that the insurgents will strike again in a few hours.

In addition to withstanding the rebel attack, the loyalists attempted an offensive in the Carabanchel sector of the Casa de Campo. There was also intense fighting at Frenchman's Bridge on the far side of the Manzanares.

London, Nov. 13.

The Non-Intervention Committee sat for five and a half hours to-day, rising at 9.30 p.m. and a communi- que issued just after midnight states it approved a scheme for the establishment of a system of supervision in Spain, subject to certain drafting amendments and confirmation by the Governments concerned.

The communique reveals a heated exchange between the Italian and Soviet representatives, the former alleging Soviet interference in Spain.

Signor Grandi, the Italian spokesman, declared the Soviet creed was a creed of war. Italy, he said, ac- cepted the challenge, convinced as she was that not only the future of Spain but the future of all civilised Europe was at stake.

The Soviet delegate, M. Mulsky, re- torted that the Italian delegate was piping a tune composed in Berlin. The

division to-day, he asserted, was not between Communism and Fascism but between war and peace, and between the countries which glorified war and aggression and the countries which detested war unid desired peace.

The Committee considered four complaints of alleged breaches of agreement by the Soviet, submitted by the Italian Government, and found the evidence insufficient to en- able the Cummitice to reach a de- finite conclusion that a breach had been committed.-Reuter,
