J BILBAO PUSHED

French and British to Re‘move Several Thousand, Mostly Children.

ation and agree not to fire on any Basque, French or British ships used to evacuate the refugees. The Foreign Office said that the decision to evacuate refugees probably would be announced formally at London late today. At France's suggestion Basque Loyalists asked the Central Loyalist Government to house refugees in Spain, instead of abroad, so it was expected that the first refugees at least would be taken by steamship either through the Straits of Gibraltar to the east coast or to French ports for transportation _overland to Catalonia.

Claim 150,000 in Peril

The Foreign Office statement was made after Basque Loyalists appealed to the government, asserting that the situation of 150,000 to 200,000 noncombatants was desperate. Their pleas were made more insistent by a. terrible story of the suffering of the people in the country east of Bilbao, told by the Rev. Alberto Onaindia, Roman Catholic canon, of Valladolid, who arrived here seeking permission to proceed to Vatican City to ask the Pope's intercession against Rebel bombings. The members of the Basque Government mission to Paris estimated that there were 500,000 people in Bilbao, including 100,000 children, who might at any moment come under Rebel airplane attack.

Priest Tells of Horror Father Onaindia said: -

“The Bilbao Government would |

like His Holiness to appeal to priests in democratic countries of Europe to join in the protection of the Basque civilians.” The Canon asserted that at Ceanuri, 18 miles from Bilbao, Moors criminally attacked 24 women, including a girl of 12 years. He asserted that he personally witnessed a Rebel aerial bombardment of Guernica; the “Holy City.” “I am one of the few living witnesses of the trrible crime committed by German aviators in the service of the Rebels at Guernica,” he said. “I was on the road less than a mile from Guernica when the bombardment began at 5 p.-m. One Rebel pursuit plane flew over Guernica, followed by three others. These flew low and machine-gunned people in the streets.”

Official Rebel statements deny |

vigorously that Rebel airplanes bombed Guernica and other towns which are in ruins. They assert that the Loyalists set the towns on fire deliberately.

Eden Asks Report : ‘On Bilhao’s Plight

By United Press LONDON, April = 30. —Fofeign Secretary Anthony Eden has asked the British Ambassador to Spain to report whether there is any foundation for a belief that the Spanish Rebels intend to destroy Bilbao, he told the House of Commons today. Mr. Eden told the House that the Government was considering what action was possible to prevent recurrence of the bombardment of civilian populations in Spain.

The American Music Festival was concluded with a full day of forums, concerts, business meetings and programs yesterday. Oscar Thompson, executive editor of “Musical Amercia” who spoke at a forum in the Claypool, is a “native son” of Indiana. He visited Crawfordsville, his birthplace, following his talk yesterday.

Son of Author

Mr. Thompson is the son of Will Henry Thompson, author of “High Tide at Gettysburg” and nephew of Maurice Thompson, author of “Alice of Old Vincennes.” 4

James Whitcomb Riley, Lew Wallace and other Indiana authors were intimates of the Thompson family. Mr. Thompson paid high tribute to Indianapolis and the convention. In his talk on “Problems of Musical Criticism.” He said: “If we were to do away with professional music critics, we still would have musical criticsm. America has developed its own school of criticism, with very little indebtedness to what is being written abroad. Music criticism is primarily a form of reporting, plus opinion. It is for the reader, not for the artist or composer.” A concert by the National Symphony, Hans Kindler conducting, held at the Indiana Theater last night concluded the festival."

‘Organizer Hunts’ in Harlan Disputes ‘Aired to Committee

Times Special

WASHINGTON, April 30.—The La Follette Civil Liberties Committee has assembled a detailed account of the equipment used in Harlan County, Kentucky, on “thugging expeditions” and “organizer hunts” by Deputy Sheriffs and mine bosses employed by coal operators, Bill (Thug) Johnson, Virginia mountaineer and former ipdustrial gave the committee a detailed description of the weapons

“detective,” used. 7 ; On one mobilization of 50 or 60 deputies to break up a scheduled union meeting in 1934, the drawling mountain man said he carried a pump shotgun, given him out of a mine company's office, and two revolvers, a .44 special and a .38 special. One of his companions had a 30-30 “high power” rifle, and another had a submachine gun. He was twice instructed how to use this latter

“| weapon, he said, telling the commit-

tee, with gestures, how the gun is held and fired, but he never got a chance to fire one and never saw one in action. On one trip to hunt a union organizer, “Thug” said, his two companions, Deputies George Lee and Frank White, told him they were going to ram a .45 down his throat, take him on top of the mountain and “bump him off.”

Names Custodians

Ted Creech, a mine operator, and Ben Onthank, deputy sheriff, who has been missing since the committee tried to locate him, were named by Johnson as custodians of the submachine guns on two hunts for union organizers. Onthank was in charge of the armament, he said. Merle Middleton, a mine boss, deputy sheriff, and brother of Harlan County's high sheriff, accompanied him on several trips, he

testified. Johnson was paid regular mine wages $5 or $6 a day, he couldn’t remember which, for time spent on these expeditions. One day at the mine, he said, “Merle Middleton told me to take Robert Ragland—I think that was his last natme—out behind the tool’ shed and beat him over the head with a pistol. He said he was a union man. He gave me. a pistol and a drink of liquor.” “Did you carry out your instructions?” snapped Senator La Follette. “Yes, sir,” Johnson said casually. “I asked him if he wanted a drink. He said he did. I gave him the drink and whipped him over the head with a .45.” Later Ragland was arrested for “drunkenness.” : La Follette asked Johnson if he was fired from his job. “No, I quit. I didn’t like my job.” “Why didn't you like it?" “There was too much to it. didn’t like what I had to do.”

CLAIMS COAL PRICE LOW

Competition among Indianapolis retail coal dealers has kept retail coal prices below the general advance in living costs, Richard W. Tubb dianapolis Retail Coal Merchants’ Association president, said today. Mr. Tubbs, who spoke at an association meeting in the Hotel Lincoln, said that food prices have increased as much as 40 per cent, but coal prices to the consumer have increased only 1.18 per cent.

Supports Suicide Theory in Ballistics Lecture.

By United Press NEW CASTLE, Ky. April 30— Maj. Seth Wiard, Washington firearms expert, today, supported the suicide theory of Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor's death with testimony that the revolver which killed her was

The commonwealth had produced evidence purporting to show that the gun which killed Mrs. Taylor— it was“ Denhardt's .45-caliber army revolver—had been held “more than

nine inches and probably more thant

18 inches” from her body.

Unfavorable Trade Balance For First Quarter of Year Is Announced.

/ By United Press WASHINGTON, April 30. — The United States bought $113,959,000 more merchandise abroad than it sold during the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department reported today. Exports for the period aggregated $710,910,000, an increase of $135,210.000 over the first three months of 1936. Imports aggregated $824,869,000, an increase of $245,912,000. For March exports totaled $256,390,000 and imports $306,699.000, making an unfavorable trade balance for the month of $50,309,000. In March, 1936, exports amounted to $195,113,000 and imports $198,701,000. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Commerce Department said, the United States export trade in March was the highest since the final quarter of 1930 and import trade the highest since the second quarter ef that year. s Two-thirds of the increase in imports in March over February was the result of larger imports of edible vegetable products, principally sugar, and also metals, mainly tin. The increase in these groups of imports, the department said, was in part the result of higher prices,
