Graves so puzzled he even attempt

It was evident at ringside that
supremacy between the two fighters
could not be fully determined in the
four round limit imposed upon am

speed from the first gong.
The slow, Ieenng out process of
the first two rounds ended hope of
any such development. In those
first rounds, Graves showed his
usual form, sinking long-range
punches into Cases midriff.

To the south of Guernica, the main

refuge from the menace Of devastat-
Ing aerial machine-gunners and the
dread pressure Of approaching armies,
but cold water was dashed on their
hopes for immediate refugee evacua-

Spokesmen for the British foreign
office said it would be necessary

insurgent foes to agree on the evacua-

Then the British government will
decide how it can help.
To feed the refugees that cram
Bilbao until they find the haven that
the Basques demand for them, four
food ships from st. Jean de Luz,

insurgent sea blockade on the Bay of
Biscay-escorted to the 3-mile line
by British destroyer. That brought
