More than 3,000 prisoners were taken by the insurgents the past two days, Northern Comdr. Gen. Emilio Mola declared. The Basque Catholic deputy for San Sebastian, La Sarte, was listed among the prisoners Government sources denied loss of in Oviedo, chief city of the Asturias, west of Bilbao. Roads leading Into Bilbao were jammed ‘with refugees, and it was estimated that 50,000 persons would be added quickly to the city’s popula- tion already swollen to 400,000. In- surgents said their airmen refrained from bombing the highways because of the refugees. (Insurgent airmen bombed Bil- bao twice Sunday, causing wide- spread destruction in the packed city. Forty-seven planes, including 20 tri-motored Junker planes, par- ticipated in the attack.) ‘The insurgent movement cutting off Eibar from Durango was said to have been accomplished easily with scant resistance offered by the deci- mated Basque defenders, MADRID ATTACK RENEWED. Twelve Desert Rebels Besieged in University City. MADRID, April 26 (#)—Insurgent cannon began a third week of almost incessant pounding of Madrid today with a vicious bombardment that killed at least 15 persons and wounded a score. It was one of the heaviest shellings of the 15-day cannonade. But today the gunners neglected the battered upper Gran Via, Madrid's Broadway, and laid down a heavy fire on Cibeles Square and the Paseo de la Cas- tellana. Traffic on Alcala street was dis- rupted. Pedestrians fled for shelter. One shell fell near the International Banking Corp. Twelve deserters straggled into Madrid from the beleagued insurgent garrison of 3,000 in suburban Uni- | versity City to tell a story of thirst, hunger and a crumbling morale.

Detroit Pharmaceutical Plant Seized; Higher Pay Demanded. By the Associated Press. Most troublesome spot on the na- tional labor front today was Detroit, more than 400 policemen, under the command of Police Commissioner Heinrich M. Pickert, prepared to evict sit-down strikers from the plant of Parke Davis & Co., large pharmaceu- tical firm. The plant was seized at 8 a.m. by several hundred employes who took possession of entrances to four build- ings. They demanded increased wages and union recognition. Company officials said the strikers could prevent the release of drugs and medical supplies needed for emer- gency uses. Seven men, said by police to be members of the United Automobile Workers of America, were arrested and held for investigation after a brief fight at the plant’s main gate. At the U. A. W. A. headquarters it was said that none of the men was listed as & union organizer. The plant employs 2,100 workers. Ald to Workers Allowed. Supreme Court Justice Harry Man- ser announced at Lewiston, Me., the court would permit the Committee for Industrial Organization’s commissary WASHINGTON, D. and relief station to continue aid to workers in Lewiston and Auburn, where 19 factories have been affected by a strike.

After a conference with Ford offi- cials, Ed Hall, U. A. W., vice presi- dent, announced: “An understanding has been reached as to the relationship of the Grievance Committee to the management and has been accepted by both sides.” Ques- tions regarding union recognition went unanswered. ‘Whether 1,100 men would resume work on the Parker Dam at Parker, Ariz,, depended on orders from Fed- eral authorities. “If there is strife between the Com- mittee for Industrial Organization and non-union workers, it will follow re- ceipt of the orders,” Sheriff T.
