A resume prepared in Paris indi- cated battles were being fought at Barcelona, Zaragoza, Coruna, San Sebastian (if reports of its recapture proved untrue), Irun, Cadiz and To- ledo. The government claimed to have crushed the rebellion in at least seven town.

JACKSON, Mich, July 23—The detention of a Southern Michigan prison guard on suspicion of plotting with a group of life termers to smug- gle in ammunition to be used in an escape attempt was announced today by Warden Harry H. Jackson. The guard is held in the County Jall, and will be charged with carrying contraband mail and conspiracy to aid in a prison escape, Jackson said. The warden said the guard was halted last night on his way out of the prison, and that two contraband letters arranging to get $25 and a sup- ply of cartridge clips were found in his pocket. Jackson said the guard admitted his complicity in the plot, explaining that he was in need of money. “‘One sentence of the letter revealed that Deputy Warden Leonard McCoy and I were to be taken for a nice long walk,” Jackson said. Postal Agents Launch Hunt For Mailer By the Associated Press. - CAPE CHARLES, Va., July 23— Postal inspectors were en route here today to launch an intensive search for the sender of a parcel post bomb which killed Curry Thomas, Cape Charles farmer, and seriously injured his bride of 41 days last night. Northampton and Cape Charles officers roped off the wreck of the automobile in which the couple was seated before their home when they opened the harmless-appearing parcel shortly after 6 o'clock last night. In the tangled wreckage, from which spectators were kept at a dis- tance, postal inspectors, under the direction of T. M. Milligan of Wash- ington, hoped to find clues. The explosion, set off by Thomas when he opened the package, left his body a mass of mangled flesh and drove a fragment into his wife’s side. This fragment was removed last night at Memorial Hospital at Nassawal nd her condition today termed “faly” of Fatal Bomb She told Cape Charles officers the parcel was postmarked at Richmond, Va., and bore the name “F. C. Thomas” in the space ordinarily occupied by the return address. The parcel was handed her at the post office here at 6 p.m., S. T. Notting- ham, Cape Charles postmaster, said, the couple carried it to their home about a mile from here and opened it before they got out of their car. Thomas’ watch, found in the wreckage, stopped at 6:17 p.m., Noitingham said. Local authorities admittedly were puzzled to find a motive for the crime and relatives living here remained be- hind a ring of guards at the home. (At Richmond, the inspection divi- sion said that nothing was known there regarding the mailer of the pack- age. The investigation was said to be in the hands of T. M. Milligan, chief inspector for this district of ap- proximately eight States.) The postmaster here said that “the family has not advanced any_theory” (See AGENTS, Pag HELP Rush Warship to Evacuate Americans. @ PLEA SENT OUT FROM BILBAO| {Women, Children Are Feared to Be in Danger.

Vice Consul Frank Cussans at Bordeaux, France, who is at the Franco-Spanish border, reported to- day that communication still was im- possible with San Sebastian, Spain, where Ambassador Claude G. Bowers is in residence at his Summer em- bassy. Cussans’ message said no one had been able to penetrate more than a few kilometers beyond the border in the direction of San Sebastion, where gun and cannon fire were heard on the night of July 22. No Refugees Enter France. He said no American refugees had entered France, so far as could be learned, on July 22 or the morning of July 23. He reported a belief at the border that Gen.

Coughlin's political activi- ties and a recent speech in which he called President Roosevelt “a liar” had caused “a painful impression” at the Vatican. ‘ Pope Pius, nevertheless, will await the report of Bishop Michael Gal- lagher of Detroit before taking any action. Bishop Gallagher is Father Caughlin’s ecclesiastical superior, and now is en route to the Vatican. He 1s expected here tomorrow. “The holy father is very loath to act in an American or any other dio- | cese, unless it is in conjunction with the bishop of that diocese,” the prelate said. Much, therefore, will depend on what Bishop Gallagher has to say to the Pope. The prelate said the subject of Father Coughlin’s political activities undoubtedly would be discussed., and conceded it was quite likely the bishop had been summoned to the Vatican ta | talk over the matter. (In New York, Bishop Gallagher said before sailing that while he dis- | approved the language used at the | Cleveland Townsend convention by Father Coughlin, he had not rebuked the radio priest, nor did he intend to rebuke him. (However, the bishop said all copies of the Coughlin speeches had been |sent regularly to Rome. He found ! nothing “particularly disturbing” in a priest’s taking political leadership, | adding it was the duty of a priest, educated at the expense of the com- | munity and therefore representing the community, to express himself openly on matters involving public welfare.

The American prelate also said he understood the principal complaint against Father Coughlin was of alleged economic subjects. The presence here of Msgr.
