BRIT AIN SENDS
 FAST WARSHIP
Reported Bombing of Britt ish Ship By Son of
 MuSSOlini

London, Nov. 1-(UP)-The Brit iSh battle cruiser Hood was ordered to proceed at full speed to Barcelo- na from Palma, Majorca, today to investigate the sinking of the Brit ish Steamer Jean Weems. A "Pi- rate" airplane bombed and sank the Jean Weems on Saturday. The Daily Herald's Barcelona corres- pondent reported that the Spanish Loyalist government asserted that the Pirate" plane bore markings showing that it was piloted by Bru- no Mussolini, son of the Italian Premier. The Hoods officers were ordered to interview the crew of the Jean Weems in an effort to fix re- sponsibility for the attack. The in- vestigation will be conducted by Rear Admiral Andrew Cunningham, who temporarily was in command of the Hood. He was ordered to send his findings to London imme- diately to enable the government to decide what action should be talk e1.
 Left Rome Month Ago
 Young Mussolini left Rome about a month ago to join the Spanish Nationalist air forces at Majorca, and he reportedly has engaged in several bombing raids along the Catalan coast, where the Jean Weems was attacked. Capt. Thom- as Everett, Welsh master of the vessel, reported that the planes wings bore a white and black skull and cross bones" insignia, and that its pilot gave the crew of the freigh- ter only five minutes to take to lifeboatS.
 The crew of 26 rowed seven hours before reaching the fishing village of Palafrugell 8 few miles from the French frontier on the Mediterran- can. The Jean Weems flew the American flag and was American owned until six months ago. The Bull Steamship company of Balti- more sold her to a British firm and she was carrying wheat and con- densed milk from Marseilles to Bar celona when attacked. She was built in Cleveland, Ohio.
