llSnJlnS OF tne war mas taken place
there.
BILBAO, June q. (UP)-Na-
tionalist authorities yesterday de-
clared martial law in Bilbao area
and set up an emergency govern
ment while thousands of men
poured in the city, ready for a
new advance against the Basque
Loyalist army.
Civil guards, crack police Of the
Rebels, arrived from Victoria to
take charge of policing the city.
Trucks arrived with white bread
for ill-nourished people who have
withStood the eleven weeks seige.
The city is without water, gas
or electricity. A terrific aerial
bombardment Of the city Sunday
by Loyalist planes indicated that
the terror is not over and that
Loyalists may stage drive
against the city.
The 700-year-old city-its mot
to "invincible" splattered with
the blood of a long and violent
seige-amid the clamor of thou-
sands of hunger-crazed men, wo-
men and children, Europe's "old-
est democracy" came to an end
when General Franco proclaimed
formal occupation of Ell Viscaya
province.
The people of Bilbao, their fac
es sunken from starvation, mingl-
ed cries of "vicc Franco" with
pleadings for "Pan! Pam" as they
fought for loaves of bread tossed
to them from Nationalist army
trucks.
Immediately after prOclaiming
his rule in Bilbao, and all of Wis
caya's rich ore and manufacturing
region, Franco appointed Col.
Garcia Valino as temporary mill
tary commander.
With the establishment of mar
tial law, Miguel Ganuza Del
Riego became civil governor un-
der Col. Valino.
Throughout the afternoon ana
evening thousands of Nationalist
troops, Carlists in bright red
berets and falangistes of the
Spanish Fascists, poured into the
torn city from all sides.
They entered through gaping
holes in the Basques' vaunted
Gel Gallo" line that was blown to
bits by the Nationalists' artillery
and aviation.
Order was established and for
the first time since March 81,
when Francois Bilbao offensive
was launched along a mounted
line extending from Victoria to
Ondarroa, no shells fell in Bill
bao's streets.
Hundreds of Basque families,
terror still written on their gaunt
faces, struggled back into the city
from villages where they had
taken refuge.
They appeared in their Sun
day best" but all shops and cafes
remained closed.

mad and every youngster out
of the cradle was running himself
into exhaustion.
That was the time when every
boy would rather be PheidippideS
than be President. It was the
time, too, when every highway and
byway was cluttered up by groups
of young men in running trunks.
They were an actual menace to
pedestrians, to say nothing of the
horses and buggies.
Down in the caverns of lower
New York city, the man reSpon-
Sible for this craze is today in the
proSaic business of dealing in fruit.
At so, and weighing las pounds,
he is 80 years older and 20 pounds
heavier than he was on hot sum-
mer's day in 1908 when, at the
crack OF a pistol fired by the
Prince of Wales Qater George W,
he started running from Windsor
Castle in the direction of the Olym-
pic Stadium at Shepherds Bush.
His name is Johnny Hayes.
JOHNNY HAYES
Few in America had ever heard
of him before that day. Those
few were fellow athletes in and
around New YORK who knew him
as a long -distance runner, spare OF
body but huge of heart. They did
not size him up as a champion.
Others had beaten him in Amer
lea. But they would bet or one
thing, which was that Johnny
Hayes would be on his feet at the
finish and somewhere UP in the
vanguard.
The Olympic Games meant a
lot more in those DAYS than in
the present. For one thing, they
were comparatively new, having
been revived in Athens in 1896.
International rivalry was keen and
often bitter.
The Irish question was alive in
America, anG with the games OF
1908 being neld in London and
the American team being donni-
mated by naturalized Irishmen and
Irish-AmericanS "bitter" was
the word which even the Greeks
had to describe the situation.
The Sheppards, Sheridans, Nc
Graths and McDonalds were out
to give John Bull a drubbing.
They took in all the others as
well because by the time the
marathon was to be decided the
United States had won some
twenty out of twenty-five events.
AS Hayes himself has told the
story, the Americans were chiefly
concerned with outdoing the Eng
lish in this race. They knew

genial Senator Ellison D. Smith OF
South Carolina and Mrs. Smith.
Senator Smith surveyed the
scrambling for upright positions

chuckled and chuckled as the less
fortunate members of the party
skittered around with expressions
of pain, surprises, and forced
smiles on their faces.
Whosh! went the wind and the

and down he went with the rest.

trip, declares a little coterie of

selves to a tlfteen-mlle race by
their training methods. There
fore, they plodded along while
the English rushed to the front
and wore themselves out.
Hayes, reaching the stadium,
learned that one runner was
ahead of him. an italian. He
counted the race lost since only
a few hundred yards were to be
run within the enclosure. But
as he reached the track there
was tremendous excitement. The
Italian had fallen and had been
helped to his feet. Twice again
he fell, and only crossed the line
because he was helped by an Of
ficial. Hayes followed under his
own steam.
The italian flag was run up
and stayed for an hour while
the Americans protested the OBJ
vious infringement of the rules.
Then the Stars and Stripes were
raised and Queen Alexandra pre-
sented the trophy to Hayes in a
chilling silence. But when Johnny
came home there was no silence.
The acclaim of Jesse Owens
for his remarkable feats at Ber-
lin were as nothing to the recep-
ton Hayes got from a crowd of
100000 in New York. Not until
the war days was it matched.
Theodore Roosevelt, in the White
House, sent for Johnny to con-
graduate him on his bully" vic
tory.
RUN 1T AGAIN
Of course, they had to run the
race over. This time as a pro-
fessional affair in New York. The
Italian went by the name Of
Dorando Pietri, but his last name
was never mentioned, he always
was called Dorando. They raced
not only once but as many times
as the crowds would pay, and in
the end these races proved that a
newcomer, st. Yves, of France,
was better distance runner than
either. But Johnny Hayes was
best that day in London. That
alone counted.
The London marathon Of 1908
was the second and last great one
up to the moment. The first was
that of 400 B. c., when Pheidip-
pides, champion of Greece, ran the
% miles from the plain of Mara
thon to announce to Athens the
victory over the Persians. He
dropped dead as he spoke his
message.
How did he happen to die? Just
before the battle he had travelled
on foot two days and two nights
to tell Sparta of the invasion of
Darius and to bring back promise
of aid to Athens. He then marched
to the battle and took part in it.
