Even before the fall of Bilbao, Generalissimo Franco discovered that food, of which his part of Spain has plenty, was the best Rightist propaganda he could use. So last week trucks loaded with bread, sausages, corn and rice started rolling toward Gijón from Vitoria and Burgos even before the Rightist requetés entered the town.
