Il INSURGEN7
PLANES BOMB
MADRID

LISBON, Portugal. Aug. "a
GN.S0.-Throwing Madrid into
a panic, and destroying many"
airplanes, a squadron of II inSur-
gent ariplanes from Seville today
flew over the capital for second
time and bombed the city'S two
airportS.
Carefully avoiding any damage
to the city itself, the inSurgent
pilots zoomed first over Getafe
airdrome yesterday. dropping a
large number of small bombs.
Returning today, the squadron
plummeted more than 200 bombs
on the hangers at Getafe and
Cuatros Vientos airports.
Pilots who afterwards flew low
over Madrid told of hundreds
fleeing for shelter, leaving the
streets deserted within few min
uteS.
These were the first air raids
of the civil war on Madrid.
Fifteen more bombing airplaneS,
said to be of German or Italian
make, have arrived at Salamanca
to be used against Madrid, it was
reported here.
According to charges of the in
surgent radio station at Burgos,
IS of the airplanes that partici-
pated in a bombing expedition
over the insurgent lines at Naval
peral, in the western Guadarrama
sector, bore the French tricolor.

word Of the accident spread

For several hours after the

committee of the Communist
party.
In view Of the extreme gravity
Of their offense, involving half a
dozen schemes to assassinate Jo-
Seph Stain, and the fact that the
Soviet official press has keyed the
nation to expect execution, there
is believed to be little likelihood
Of their sentence being committed.
Only two or three-thoSe who
sought clemency during the trial,
or denied participation in the ter
roristic plot-are even expected to
appeal.
Kamenev, who for a time ruled
Russia with Stain and Zinoviev,
does not even want to live. He
told the court:
"I already have 10 years Of
prison ahead Of me, and I
would rather be dead than
watch life from behind bars"
He and zinoviev were brought
from prison, where they were SEN
fenced in connection with the STAY
ing of Sergei Kirov, member Of the
Politburo, to face trial.
Zinoviev, alleged author Of the
famous letter which, revealing
plans to Bolshevize the British
army, threw Britain into turmoil
IL years ago, also was resigned to
his fate, and Ivan Smirnov, the
only one of the IA to fight for his
life, said:
II accept your sentence, since
it is the verdict Of my party"
v. V. Ulrich, chairman Of the
court, brought in the Judgment
after five hours elaboration. In
contrast to the bizarre drama that
characterized a trial in which the
defendants competed with each
other in self and mutual accuse
lions, the verdict was crisply an
nounced:
"The defendants are SEN
fenced to the highest form Of
social defense-shOOting!"

Airdrome at Madrid and destroyed
18 of the Reds best machines.
SPANS civil war may be decided
by this, the first serious attack by
the White air force against the
Reds air stronghold.
The Red airplanes were lined
UP in front of their hangers in
confident remembrance OF the
fact that until now there had
been no menace from the white
air fleet.
Single Decisive Blow
Like the soldiers of Washing
tons army who waited to see the
whites of their enemies eyes, the
White army flyers saved their
fire until they had enough air
planes to make the attack de
Cisive.
With one blow, they then de-
Scended on Madrid, and de
tonated on the airdome one and
one-quarter tons of high explos
ives.
There is every likelihood that
this will mean undisputed control
of the air paths by the White
forces, enabling them to push
their infantry forward against
Madrid without regard to the
Red bombers, which heretofore
checked their advance, but which
are now destroyed on the home
field.
phantom" Column Destroyed
Rivalling this news in impor
tance is the White announcement
Of the destruction Of the famed
phantom" Red column, with
1000 dead, at Guadalupe.
The Foreign Legion and native
Moroccans, operating from Ca
ceres, surrounded and cut off Ma
drid's finest shock column, which
had earned the name Of "phan
tom" because it fitted about with
the speed and invisibility Of a
ghost.
The phantom" column was de
stroyed by SPANS RESTRAINED
troops, and the Whites achieved
the greatest infantry triumph Of
the war.
They are now one more impor
tant step nearer Madrid, while
their airplanes have rendered that
city's resistance considerably less
formidable.
