VALENCIA, Spain, May 29.-The
Spanish government announced to-
night two Of its warplanes had dropped
four bombs on the German pocket
battleship" Admiral Scheer at 1biza in
the Balearic Islands tonight after the
cruiser opened fire.
The exploding bombs set fire to the
warship.
The ministry Of defense said the
planes were making reconnaissance
over the islands.
ON passing over 1biZa," the minis
try said, "the warship, anchored 200
yards of the breakwater. opened heavy
anti-aircraft artillery fire against the
planes, which committed no act Of
aggression against either the ship or
the city.
The airplanes responded to the
attack by dropping bombs, four Of
which struck the ship, causing ex-
plosions'
The Admiral Scheer is one of the
German vessels participating in the
non-intervention control patrol to pre-
vent arms and men from reaching
either side in the Spanish civil war.
At Berlin, official sources professed
to have no information of the reported
bombing.
Answers German Protest.
The Valencia government earlier
answered q protest from Admiral Won
Feschel, commander Of German war
ships In the Mediterranean, declaring
the non-intervention control plan pro-
vided that ships must remain at least
10 miles off Spanish coasts.
Won Feschel protested that govern
iment planes had flown over German
control ships several times "as if to
attack" This the Valencia govern
ment denied.
The government also warned Won
Feschel that it could not guarantee
the safety of German naval craft par
ticipating in the international patrol
If they enter insurgent ports with
out justification.'
Moreover" the announcement said,
"control OF the island Of 1biza. ac-
cording to decisions Of the Non-Inter-
vention Committee, is charged to the
French Navy"
Reports Palma Bombed.
The Valencia government also de-
clared that Palma, on the insurgent-
held island Of Mallorca, had been
bombed by government planes as a
port "harboring ships used for the
transport of war supplies to insur-
gents"
(Wireless messages from Valencia
received in London said the planes
which bombed the German cruiser
were flying to Palma to make an air
raid at the time the cruiser Is alleged
to have opened fire.)

measured by wages and profits.
The Federal Government took def
mite steps in the paralyzing strike sit
uation by dispatching two National
Labor Relations Board attorneys to
Cleveland to help Regional Director
Ralph A. Lind investigate charges by
steel union leaders that Republic Steel
Corp. was guilty OF unfair labor prac-
tices.
The attorneys. Robert Erdahl and
Christopher Hoey, took up digging
into the evidence. The investigation
will determine whether a labor board
hearing will be held.
With the walkout moving into its
fifth day and little apparent prospect
for settlement before 1t has lasted 4
week, figures indicated q loss of ut
least $2,34o,0 weekly In wages. The
basic wage for Northern steel mill
workers is IS day for i've 8-hour
days, with time and half for the sixth

been utilizing to keep abreast of orders
unequaled since 1929.

The three companies involved-Re-
public Steel Corp, youngstown Sheet

losing at the rate Of $1,189,384 on the

This yardstick, admittedly fallacious
in part, was however, the best avail
