STRIKERS BURN CATHOLIC HOMES

Madrid, Feb 14-(UP)-Inci- dents of strike terrorism multiplied today when mobs began burning and footing Catholic institutions in the suburbs of Madrid.
 One group of construction work CTS set fire to the Del Carmen church, in the outlying Canillejas district, and seized and burned clothing which Catholic women were preparing to distribute to the poor. A Catholic school was burned and police, stoned by the crowd, had difficulty in suppressing the disorder.
 The same mob had previously footed Madrid grocery store and raided market in the Ventas neighborhood, destroying many of the stands.
 Machinery of the Fomento Obras y Construction company, one of the firms that had discharged its workers and helped to precipitate the strike. was badly damaged by 8 bomb, with an estimated loss of 600.000 pesetas Currently ESQ., 640). -,.
 Twelve of the rioters were ar- rested.
 The city of Palenc1a was in the grip of q general strike that vir- tually paralyZed all business. A group of strike sympathizers, . majority of them women, stoned the newspaper offices of Fl Diario Palentino, forcing the staff to abandon the building.
 A few factories attempted to open, but large groups again con- sisting mainly of women and chill dren, stoned them and forced them to shut down. Police finally suc- ceeded in dispensing the demon strating mobs. ..~

ALLOTMENTS TO
 STATE FINISHED
No More New Projects Will Be Considered Said
 Archibald McNeil

Bridgeport, Conn., Feb. 14-lU |P)-No new applications for-PWA funds for non federal projects will be accepted in Connecticut. Archi- bald McNeil, chairman of the state advisory board of the PWA an- nounced today.
 McNeil said he had been advis- ed by Sate Engineer Leslie A. Hoffman that National Adminis- trator Harold L. Ickes had ordered new projects rejected and that efforts be concentrated on the work now provided for in allot- ments and under construction.
 Approximately one-half the ap- plications for funds have been ap- proved in this state, McNeil said. Early estimates placed the total cost at $33,0OO,O00. The other ap- plications have been held up for study or because of lack of com plete information.
 "The important job ahead of us," said McNeil, "is to get all the work under contract and rush it as rapidly as possible"
