Famed chiefly for talking, the Rightist "Radio General" Queipo de Llano and his men achieved the only significant military action in Spain last week, finally wrested from the Leftists 150 square miles in the Penarroya sector which has been warmly contested for the past three months, chiefly because they contain deposits of lead, copper, iron and coal. Biggest is a French-owned coal mine and this week, with the Leftists repulsed to a distance of twelve miles, miners resumed work and General Queipo de Llano radiorated louder than ever.
