The rebels made three air raids over Madrid on Sunday, killing 17 persons and wounding 120. The scene of the greatest carnage was in the Gloria de Atocha Square, where eight roads meet oulside the Mcdiocia railway station, which is the terminal of the railways to the southern coast, and therefore strategically important from the viewpoint of the capital's food supplies.
Bombers again attacked in the afternoon, devastating the Glorieta de Cuatro Caminos Square. Here men, women, and children, who were enjoying the sunshine, were plunged into panic by the bomb explosions. Fourteen loyalist fighting aeroplanes, which, arrived too late to intercept the raiders, drove them off.
Militia frustrated two attempts by Moors with tanks to enter the northwest quarter of Madrid.
' The insurgents checked a loyalist attempt to improve their positions immediately lo the west of the Segovia, Toledo, and Princesa
