"Sweat-shop conditions are the main issues in the Waterbury Buckle Go. strike," was the claim of Philip Brainard, local CIO or- ganizer, today. Armed with some 50 pay-check receipts which had been given him by girls who worked in the local factory he displayed evil dence that the average wage fer piece-work in the local company was, about 21 to 9 cents per hour
 There still seems to be some misunderstanding in regard to the strike at the Waterbury Buckle company" said the local organizer today, land we wish to convey the idea purely and simply that the main issue is the establishment of a minimum rate of 53 cents per hour for men and 43 cents per hour for women."

 Basques Refuse to Give Up

 Nationalist Field Headquarters Outside Bilbao, June 17-UP)- Nationalist artillery and ariplanes rained shells, bombs and machine gun bullets on Bilbao today in 8 bombardment which brought the at tack to a crescendo of terror. The bombardment marked the end of the 11th month of one of the most frightful civil wars in history. a war whose end and whose effect on Europe and the world no one can foresee. So intense was the fire o1 three, four and six-inc guns that the ridges of hills from which the ar- tillery fired smoked like great chemneys.
 Watching Conflict
 As I watched the bombardment from a post in the suburb of Gal dacano, 5k miles from the center of Bilbao, the din of firing re-echoed back and forth between the hills like thunderclaps.
 I, could hear, between bursts of thunder from the big guns, the staccato chatter of machine gun fire from the airplanes over Bilbao, hidden by 8 hill on our front. Throughout the din the nationalist soldiers slept soundly in their bivouacs on the ground. Then thou sands of them began to advance slowly in the suburbs here at the southeast side of the city.
 Sang Folk Songs
 Moving out from Galdacano in two long single files, one at each side of the road, they sang their folk and war songs as they advanced. Some of them carried umbrellas which they had found in towns they had occupied, to shelter them from the burning sun.
 Through binoculars I saw the first of the men reach Dos Caminos, an important road junction just on the edge of the city. This was an important movement. At Dos Cam inos the main highways from the east and south into Bilbao cross.

Hollywood, June 17.-CUP).- Jeanette Macdonld emerged from the church where she had just mar ried Gene Raymond and faced a cheering crowd of 5000 held back by 200 policemen.

Yelling and laughing, the crowd bowled over the policemen and pur- sued it down Wiltshire boulevard.

In each heel was six pence for luck, contributed by a friend.

 Columbus, Ohio, June IT. - (UP) - Governor Martin L. Davey of Ohio urgently requested President Roose- welt to undertake settlement of the steel strike today. In a telegram to the chief exec utive, Davey said "appar- ently every avenue of ap- proach available to the state of Ohio has been exhausted for the time being '"I know you will agree with me-" he telegraphed, that the enormous economic losses and the potential dangers to thousands of people make an early settlement supremely important" The strike, which began May 26, now involves eight or 10 states" Davey said, and "it appears that the matter has gone way beyond the powers and opportunities of one state to deal with" Therefore" his telegram continued, T request you most earnestly to intervene on behalf of the federal government and under take in such manner as you may deem best to find some basis on which this costly and threatening strike can be settled"

He contended that the nation had developed a group of "engenious lawyers and accountants who make their living by showing to people who can afford to pay them, ways by which they may pay the least possible taxes"
 Some Names Are Coming
 Although Morgenthau did not name the individuals who allegedly employed the tax avoidance meth odS, it was understood that some names would be made public before the hearings are completed.

 Bordeaux, France, June 17-(UP) Bilbao continued fighting valiant ly if hopelessly today to keep valid its boast that it never gives in.
 The Gallo line of Notifications which the Basque loyalists thought impregnable has crumbled. Span ish and Italian infantry are moving in on the suburbs while German air. planes bomb the city.
 For days now the streets have quaked under the nationalist bom- bardment by artillery, bomb and machine gun bullets. There has been no let up day or night. The loyalist artillery batteries drawn up in the city streets has added to the din of the nationalist fire.
 No Food Since Saturday
 No food has reached the city since last Saturday. Water is running low. Twenty-two thousanid of the Basque militia have fallen.
 The situation is desperate. Rut I believe, after having been through the " days of the siege, that the battle is not definitly settled.
