40. Department’s telegram No. 26, March 30, 5 p.m. With the exception of 21 Communist members of the secret police already imprisoned by the National Defense Council who were shot yesterday morning, no executions are believed yet to have taken place in Valencia. Genuine efforts are being made to avoid acts of privation [reprisal?]. As the situation develops I shall report further.
