B the Associated Press. HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, May 22.—Fifteen Spanish gov- ernment war planes flew to the de- fense of besieged Bilbao today as insurgent armies shifted their attack with a drive on a sector southeast of the Basque capital. The government planes had been forced down by weather Monday on French territory, but French authori- ties and officials of the International Non-Intervention Committee finally permitted them to take off. Four French planes escorted them to the frontier. While Basques awaited arrival of the government aviators, insurgent planes flew over Bilbao, where three ships were departing for France with 3,000 refugees, but no bombs were dropped. Basques turned back the new insur- gent drive in a battle 7 miles west of Durango and about 10 miles south- east of Bilbao Northeast of Bilbao, insurgent troops almost completely encircled the Basque position at the flaming village of Munguia With battles centering about the | gateways to Bilbao, insurgent officers said the Basques were building an inner line of fortifications just out- side the northern edge of the capital. Governmentdispatches told of a | Basque counter-offensive northeast of | Bilbao. The advance was carried out | with the support of bombers and artil- lery, it was stated, forcing Gen. Emilio Mola's troops to abandon Gondra- mento. FRANCE PROBES AIR ATTACK. Boy Hurt When Insurgent Plane’s Bullets Hit in Border Town. CERBERE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, May 22 (#)—The French gov- ernment tonight was investigating a Spanish insurgent air attack during which machine gun bullets whined in the streets of this French frontier town Chief question in the investigation was whether the insurgent plane, one of four that flew over the town, in- | tended to machine-gun Cerbere or| Spanish Portbou, just across the | border. Regardless of the insurgent plane's | intentions, Cerbere townsfolk scat- tered in panic this morning when the plane flew in from the sea and | rattled some 40 bullets in the village | streets. | When the shooting subsided, they | marched to the home of the Mayor and demanded better protecfion. The | Mayor immediately passed on their | demands to Premier Leon Blum. The French government was ex-| pected to take action when the in- quiry is completed Spanish border officials said the | four planes were German. French | customs guards declared the bullets | were of German make. The slugs barely missed a patrol of French customs guards. — LOST.

BY the Associated Press PITTSBURGH, May 22.—Chairman Philip Murray of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee asserted today employes of 137 steel companies were now affected by union contracts as he prepared to carry his collective bargaining campaign against employ- ers of 193,000 additional workers. The union concentrated its efforts to win signed contracts against Re- public Steel, Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet & Tube. Crucible Steel and Inland Steel Leaders of the steel labor drive, sponsored by the John L. Lewis Com- mittee for Industrial Organization, | said the union victory at Thursday's Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. employe election would be a “powerful lesson” for the producers who have thus far failed to sign. Contract Signing Tuesday. Murray will meet next Tuesday with Chairman H. E. Lewis of Jones & Laughlin to sign an exclusive bar- i union’s better than two to one ma- Jority at the election—the largest Government - supervised bargaining | balloting. | He will confer Monday with officials | of Crucible and receive their answer | to his demand for a contract affecting their 18,000 workers. If agreed upon, this contract will | recognize the union as collective bar- gaining agency for its members only. Similar compacts have been signed | with the steel units of the United States Steel Corp. and other smaller independent producers. But Murray recently announced he would seek exclusive bargaining agree- ments in the future from the remain- ing steel firms independent of “big | steel.” Strike Threatened. | He issued a “sign or we strike” | threat against Republic, Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet & Tube and Inland. Regional Director Van A. Bittner | Murray called a 36-hour strike last week affecting 27,000 workers at Jones & Laughlin, which was settled by agreement on a Labor Board election. He has said he would not be re- sponsibie for keeping the men at work in other major steel plants if their managements refused to sign union A Government-supervised vote will be held at plants of the Sharon Steel Corp. in Sharon, Pa., and Lowellville, ©Ohio, next Tuesday. Results will determine if the union is to receive an exclusive bargaining contract to represent all of the firm's 5.000 employes. Contracts Signed Recently. Headquarters of the union an- nounced additional contracts had been companies: National Can Co., Maspeth, Long | Lsland, N. Y.; Latrobe Electric Steel, Latrobe, Pa.; MacIntosh-Hemphill, Pittsburgh; Penn Metals, Parkersburg, W. Va.; Ferro Alloys, Canton, Ohio; Union Electric Steel, East Carnegie, Pa.; Stearns Magnetic Manufacturing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.; Concrete Prod- ucts Co., Neville Island, Pa.; Duer Spring Co., McKees Rocks, Pa.; Ache- son Manufacturing Co., Rankin, Pa.; American Shear Knife Co., Home- | Stead, Pa.; Mirific Products Co., Can- ton, Ohio. The union said Regional Director Bittner had notified it that the Amer- ican Steel Foundries Co., one of the largest tonnage producing foundries in the country, had agreed to sign a union contract next Monday in Chi- cago. Paul Rusen, a sub-regional director of the union, said he was arranging for a parade through Ohio Valley mill towns May 30 in celebration of the union’s victory in the Jones & Laugh- lin election. FASHION REVUE SET Armstrong Night High Classes and Faculty Unite.

Hundreds of trees were blown down, power lines broken and telephones put out of commision in Maryland and Virginia. The areas suffering most were Fairfax County, Va., and Prince Georges County, Md. Hail contributed materially to the dam- age in the two counties. Parts of Alexandria were without electric light and power service as power lines were cut by falling trees and poles. The roof of a grocery in Lyon Park was blown off with $2,500 damage to the building and apart- ments above the store. Three cloudbursts struck sections of Fairfax County, flooding streams. Lightning struck the store of W. T. Carrico at Annandale, causing slight damage. No one was injured. Resi- dents reported hail as “large as hen | eggs.” Power lines were out of order | for several hours in some sections of the county. | Two barns belonging to former Sher- | iff Curtis Hopkins and his brother Roy Traffic on Central avenue there was | halted by fallen trees. Second Storm Strikes. Later last night another thunder and windstorm struck the section. Firemen and police reported numerous uprooted trees, but no further damage. Prior to the storm, the temperature had climbed steadily until 2 o'clock. It had dropped to 90 by 3 p.m., and shortly after the storm broke, it had | reached the low 70s. Thaose overcome by heat were Martha | King, Luray, Va.; Norma Sternzer, | Broad Creek, Md.; Thaddeus Habek, | Washington County, Pa.; Anna Duke, | Newport News, Va., and Juanita Thoman, 1342 B street northeast. The first three were treated at Emergency | Hospital and the others were taken to Casualty. Police said all five were watching the schoolboy parade. Ex-D. C. Pastor’s Rites Today.

RELIEF AIDTOBE SOUGHT Citizens’ Unit on Unemploy- ment to Carry Fight to Senate Group. * A3 tigate 3,100 unduplicated “‘cases” which have applied for relief from public and private agencies during the first three months of this year, has just completed a study of 760 cases. Each case represents an average family of four persons, 46 per cent of whom are under 16 years of age. Forty-two per cent of the cases invese | tigated have sickness and health prob= lems of some seriousness and only 12 per cent of the families had found work providing anything like adequate incomes. Tliness Prevalent. Declaring that conditions among the able jobless are even worse than at first believed, Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the Citizens’ Committee on Unemployment, revealed yesterday his group is prepared to fight vigorously ployed employables” during the Senate hearings on the District supply bill The Senate Appropriations Com- | mittee, Dr. Stokes said, will be urged particularly to rectify two shortcom- ings in the House appropriations bill, namely, the allotment of only $1,411,500 for relief next year and slashing of the funds for personnel. The relief appropriation recom- mended by the House, he pointed out, is considerably below the appropria- tion for this year, which is entirely inadequate. The sum also is less than that approved by the Budget Bureau, he added Without adequate relief personnel, the chairman emphasized, there is no guarantee that unworthy cases will be excluded, that the individual will be aided to find regular employment or hospital care, or certified when pos= | sible to the Social Security Board or other Federal agencies Willing to Have Tax Boost. “I am more convinced than ever,” Dr. Stokes stated, “that the million | dollars additional for relief purposes, asked for by the April mass meeting, is justified, and I am personally will- ing to have a moderate increase in taxation, if needed, to care for the relief and closely related health needs of the District “If the monthly average should Pprove to be only 2,506 unemployed and needy employables a month, and they should receive in each case for an average family of four only $30, this would make $900,000 a year, leaving $100.000 for personnel service, etc. 1 don't see how in common decency and to protect our future citizenship we can get along on less.” Dr. Stokes said the Co-operating for the cause of “unem- | More than two-thirds of the fami~ lies had pressing debts; 22 per cent | lacked adequate clothing; one-third is ‘h\'lng in bad conditions, and 10 per | cent had either been evicted since No- vember 1, 1936, or were threatened | with eviction The survey also revealed 375 persons were able to work but unable to find | employment.
