 State Detectives Seek Clues
 State detectives continued their search in evidence that would break his alibi. They would have to prove that Elder, after supposedly retir- ing early, drove more than 30 miles to Greenfield, threatened Norton, and returned in time to receive the ' a. m. call he had left at the hotel desk.
 IIder told newsmen he felt that MrH. Nettie Burt, a chambermaid was mistaken" in her signed state ment that one pillow in the double bed was propped unwrinkled against the headboard as she had arranged 1t the previous day.
 Rider also said he purchased gas oline early Tuesday evening from a filling station located near the ho- tel. State detectives maintained that Robert Baker, station attendant. at 3 a. m. Wednesday sold 10 gall Ions of gasoline to a man about 50 or 60 years old" alone in an auto mobile of the type driven by Elder.
 Policeman Saw Car
 Detectives also said that two Keene policemen on night-duty saw an automobile cruising about the hotel at 2 a. m. Wednesday.
 Defense counsel, however, empha- sized that none of the hotel en- ployes saw Elder from the time he went to his room at 9 p m. Tues day until he checked out at a. m. Wednesday.
 Bail for Elder, who spent "A hours in county jail after pleading not guilty when arraigned Thursday morning, was furnished by six Ver- mont relatives.

 Death Record Varies
 Valencia, Spain, May 29-TP)- Militiamen and volunteers cleared the streets of debris today while red cross workers tended scores of wounded in hospitals after yester- days Nationalist air raid.
 Unofficial reportS-Which slight ly exceeded ln totals the official figures-were that more than 45 persons were killed, and relief workers estimated the total casual ties including wounded at more than 200.
 Centrally situated buildings suf- fered heavily.
 British embassy officials denied reports published abroad that a British ship named Cadin was bombed and that eight of it's crew were killed. The British steamship Pinzon, as previously reported, was slightly damaged.
 Startling Tales
 London May 29-(UP)-There were several startling reports of damage in the Valencia bombing raid of yesterday.
 Aside from reports that 100 per. sons or more were killed, instead of the total of 40-odd as given at Va lencia. there was the report that the British steamship Cadin. was bombed and the United States con- sul was killed.
 Russia DiSapprOves
 Moscow. May 29-(UP)-Russia, in a note to Great Britain today, expressed disapproval of proposal for truce in the Spanish civil war during which all foreign volunteers would be withdrawn.
 The proposal is "untimely and in effective" the note said. because the powers have not agreed on withdrawal of volunteers and be- cause the Nationalists can not be trusted. Russia is ready to accept the proposal, the note said, provid- ed that the Nationalists first cease hostilities and withdraw their own foreign troops.

 Sympathy Disappearing
 Thorough canvass by United Press staff correspondents, just finished, indicates that in the upper, middle and lower classes, in London and throughout the kingdom, any sym pathy for the duke is waning stead- fly and that there is an attitude verging on boredom over news of preparations for his wedding to Mrs Warfleld next Thursday.
 A small minority voices mild in- dignation because the government did not officially pension the duke as it would have penSioned an am- bassador who had accomplished less for the empire, and reflects sadly that the dukes wedding will not be graced by the presence of relatives.
 A highly placed American who for 30 years has observed events in London apparently summarized the minority correctly as consist ing largely of "hysterical, Sentimen- tai Women."
 Ran Out On Job
 The predominant feeling through out the United Kingdom is that the duke ran out on his job, leaving for his task a less well-equipped brother, and distressing his highly respected mother.
 It is hinted in some quarters perhaps Wrongly-that the duke himself inspired plea in the Daily Express, chief organ of Lord Beaver brook, for more charity toward the duke. Despite the gigantic circula- tion of the Express, 2,200,00O a day, there was no indication that the plea had any effect.
 Few Britons have the feeling that the government has treated the duke unfairly. The new government is expected to continue the policy of encouraging forgetfulness of the duke. The newspapers are cooperat- ing. American newspapers publish much more news of the dukes af- fairs than do British papers, Ere quently there is no mention of him at all.
 Thus the relegation of the duke and his prospective wife to spec ial position outside the royal cir cle was calculated to cause little feeling.
 Decree Was Short
 The decree took less than 100 words to deprive Mrs. Warfield of a right to royal standing. Appearing in today's London Gazette which records official activities of moment the decree read:
 whitehall,
 May 28, 1887.
 "The king has been pleased by letters patent under the great seal of the realm bearing the date May 27, 1887 to declare that the. Duke of Windsor shall notwithstanding his instrument of abdication' De- cember 10. 1886. and his majesty's declaration of the abdication act of 1886 by which effect was given to said instrument, has been entitled to hold and enjoy for himself only the title. style or attribute of royal highness, so. however, that his wife if any shall not hold said title, style or attribute"

O'Sullivan, p.Gsiding at the last term, suggested that the case be continued, with the possibility of entrance of a nolle at the motion uf States Attorney Lewis.

 Another Republic subsidiary plant, that of the Newton Steel Co., in Monroe, Mich, was closed today after pickets prevented 450 members of the midnight shift from entering. This followed the closing yesterday of Republic Mills at Beaver Falls, Pa., and Cumberland, Md, in which 900 were employed.
 Mediation Is Futile
 Federal and state governments explored the possibilities of media tion. Both found it would be futile to attempt any conciliation confer ences until at least after the long wek-end holiday.
 The three companies involved Republic, Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,, and Inland Steel Corp.-re- mained determined in their opposi- ton to union contracts. The union showed no sign of compromising its demand for a contract. That made it difficult for mediators toy find even some basis for starting discus sionS.
 There were contradictory estimates of the number of men idle ill the strike called by the c. I. O.'s steel workers organizing committee in its fight to obtain signed contracts with the three companies.
 Chairman Philip Murray of the s. w. O. c. claimed for the union that out of 77,9OO men employed in the plants involved, all but 700 were out. The number of idle was be- lieved to be nearer 60,000 to 10000.

Inland Steel had been stopped. But the Republic Corp. said:
 Steel plant operations are con- tinuing at Republic plants in Chi cago, Buffalo, Canton and Warren, and production is going forward at about 40 per cent of the corpora tion's capacity"
 It was explained that this referred only to units producing basic raw steel. In addition, various finishing and fabricating plants, including that at Niles, are operating.
 "The statement has been made that all but about 700 men in all of our plants are on strike" Repub- lies announcement continued. '"The thousands of men at work in these four plants alone are the best answer to such a statement, and we invite any qualified news paperman who can get a pass for safe conduct through the c. I. O.:s picket lines to come in and see for himself"
 Reporters were attempting to ar- range with the steel workers com- mittee headquarters in Youngstown for passes.
 First Supplies Dropped
 The first aerial food supplies were dropped into the Niles plant by one or two airplaneS which circled over the mill property yesterday. During the afternoon employees of the mill had marked out a circle with lime as a target for the bombs. On the first attempt the plane dropped two bundles of can- ned goods and one of them fell out side the fence and was bounced upon by the pickets. The plane cir cled again and dropped three more packages inside.
 Tickets said the bundle which fell into their hands contained can- ned stew and baked beans. They said all but one can burst open when they hit the ground.
 Two U. s. mail trucks were turned away from the Republic Mill at Warren late yesterday. Parcel Post Bread
 Postmaster Harry J. Dixon said the trucks carried bread which had been sent by parcel post from Cleve- land and towels that had been mail- ed in Warren. The pickets stopped the trucks, examined the packages and told the drivers they cuold not go through. Without disturbance, the trucks backed away.
 The federal authorities at Youngs- town doubted any action would be taken to break the blockade against such consignments. They said that such shipments, usually handled by commercial delivery, were classed as unusual" under postoffice regua- tions and that the slogan "The Mail Must Go Through" probably did not apply to them. Murray Satisfied
 Strike Chairman Murray returned to the steel union headquarters at Pittsburg after inspecting picket lines in the Youngstown area.
 He said that he was satisfied with progress of the strike so far and that the union was prepared flor a long siege"
 ''The morale of our people could not be improved upon." Murray said. 'These men are determined that the strike shall be continued until these corporations execute contracts with the S. w. O. C."
 Murray renewed his charges that Republic Corporation has stored guns, gas bombs and other weapof1s in its plants and has hired gun men," He asked the federal depart ment of justice, the senate civil lib- critics committee and Ohio to in- vestigaet.
 He also urged the national labor relations board to expedite consid- eration of union charges of coercion by the steel companies.
