calibre shells in the third stanza
of the days hell.
For 10 days Franco, unable to
smash the loyalists' defense ring
around the city, has sought to
blast Madrid into surrender or
utter decentralization with his ar
tillery. Nearly 100 persons have
been killed, several hundred
wounded.
Beginning at a. m. when ped
dlers and shop keepers were be-
ginning to appear, the lombard
ment burst on the city with a
rumbling roar. -,
Two hundred and fifty small
shells, fired at three-minute inter-
walls, exploded in scattered parts
of the city as the rebel gunners
apparently sought to perfect their
aim.
The first bursts were in the
eastern fringe of the city, near
the working class suburbs, then
closer to the Puerta Del Sol, the
Gran Via and the Gale de Al
Gala. =.
The area around the ornate
Bank of Spain, at the Plaza de
CASTELAR, was a shambles.
Almost in the heart of the
bombardment area is the Acad-
envy of Fine Arts with its price
less Goyas, Carrenos and Ru-
benseS.
Three persons were killed and
seven wounded near the Bank OF
Spain when the bombardment
first broke.
AS the Smelling continued, the
rebel gunners perfected their aim
and the shells came in threes,
zinging down with high-pitched
whistle. =, :,
One of the three-inch shells
struck the roof of the Bank OF
Spain and crashed into the foyer
injuring several customers lined
up in front of the grilled cages.
Outside the bank several were
killed, including three women.

FEDERAL MAN WARNS
AGAINST TAX STRIKE
(Continued from page onc)

supreme court decisions
The penalties range from hve
per cent of the amount of the
tax for less than 80 days delln-
ouency up to % per cent for
more than 120 days. Employers
convicted of "wilful failure to
file returns are subject to an adj
ditional maximum penalty OF III
years in prison and a SlO,Ooo
fine.
Helvering'S action followed a
statement by President Roosevelt
in his budget-relief message Tues
day that a slump in current treas
ury receipts below estimates us
due in large part to the obstruc-
ton of tax collections by numer-
Gus lawsuits against the govern
ment."
The government hopes to win a
supreme court ruling on the old
age pension tax, held invalid by
the Boston appeals court last
week, before lHc COuII iSNNH'N'
for the summer in June.
The taxes arc designed to fl
nance old age annuitics ranging
from $40 to $50 for workers
reaching the age of 60, and a
Joint fcdcrai-statc unemployment
insurance program.
The old age annuity tax is lev
led equally against employers and
employees. Each is required to pay
one per cent this year on wages
of $4,000 or less. The tax grad
yates up to three per cent by
1949. The law requires employers
to collect the employees share OF
the tax and file returns monthly.
The unemployment insurance
on payrolls. starting at one per
cent last year and reaching a
maximum three per cent next
wear, is levied only against en-
ployers. The government pays
back 90 per cent of the revenues
to states for unemployment bene-
fits under approved state laws.

MAIL fraud
CASEPUSHED
Asserted Daughter of Clark
Gable Called; Testimony
Is Striker Out


CUP)-Gwcndoline Norton, IA,
was summoned to the witness
stand in federal court late yes
tcrday to testify against her
mother, charged with using the
mails to defraud Clark Gable,
movie Romeo, by accusing him Of
being the girls father.
Her appearance brought sharp
criticism from Judge George Cos
grave and most of her testimony
was stricken in the brief period
she remained on the stand.
81 regret the necessity of call
ing this witness under any cir
cumstances, and any testimony
she gives should be highly re-
stricted," Judge Cosgrave said. Il
fail to see what relevancy this
testimony has anyway"
Assistant U. S. Attorney Jack
Powell explained the child was
called in an effort to show that
she and her mother, heavyset Vio-
let Wells Norton, had been
brought to California on money
advanced by Frank Keenan,, of
Edmonton, Alberta. Keenan, had
been named in the indictment
with Mrs. Norton and Jack
Smith, a private detective, but
was not returned to California
for trial.
Gwendoline proceeded to give
the testimony outlined by the
prosecution but virtually all of
it was stricken on motion of de-
Tense counsel. She was then cX-
cuSed.
Gwendoline, described by her
mother as the "spittin' image of
Cable" flashed her parent a
bright smile as she told of being
born in England, of later moving
to Winnipeg and of knowing kee-
nan more than two years.
"He's about rs years DID, she
piped.
The government introduced
several letters Mrs. Norton wrote
to local editors and publicity
men, offering them her STORY
One, written to Ted Magee, ed
itor of film magazine, said in
part:
81 am writing to ask you to
take this matter in hand. | guess
it will surprise you to know that
Clark Gable has a l4-year-old
daughter. | want to put an ad IN
your magazine asking someone to
take a hand with Clark Gable to
make him support her. ! have
been told that this is the way to
make him realize his responsible
ity. He hasn't answered my plea
although have written him a
number of times. told him did
not wish to expose him"
Gable, who yesterday denied
from the witness stand that he
had ever been in England, much
less being Gwendoline's father,
was not recalled today, although
he waited for several hours. While
waiting. he renewed an acquant-
ance with Fran Doerfar, Port
land, Ore, girl friend of some Is
wears ago, who was subpoenaed as
a government witness. The two
met in q corridor.
"Hello, darling" Gable greeted
her.
Tho two held hands several
minutes while they discussed old
times.
