870. An official statement places the number of deaths from yesterday’s air raids at 150 as of last night. Unofficial estimates place them at twice that figure.
The statement also asserts that the Government’s offer to desist from raids in cities in the far rear guard, quoted in my 867, January 29, 10 a.m.,11 has been rejected by a speaker over the Salamanca radio.
