Whelan Scores Representative Martin J. Whelan of Wolcott today scored a decisive lvictory when he appeared before the Public Utilities Commission and succeeded in having transportation rates between Wolcott and Water bury, and Wolcott and Bristol re- duced to half the amount charged at the present time. The new rates will be placed into effect on next Mon- day.
 Residents who commute between the cities now pay 30 cents fare to Waterbury and the same amount for the return trip, with similar rates in effect involving travel to Bristol. The insistency of Rep. Whelan when he appeared before the commission today brought about the reduction to Is cents, this amount in refer ence to the outskirts of the Town of Wolcott.
 The fare to Lovers Lane in Wol- colt, beginning on Monday will be 10 cents, and transients desiring to ride to the center of the township or that vicinity will pay 20 cents or 10 cents cheaper than the pres ent fare. The charge between Wol- colt and Bristol to be levide by the New England Transportation com- pany will be 20 cents. Under this new arrangement commuters of the town will have considerable money annually.

 There is no defeu:s against the planes. The Basque loyalists have TO anti-aircraft gurs and no airplanes. The planes are flying over the area, dropping their bombs and firing their bullets as they like and then returning to bases to re-supply.
 Basque authorities have apepaled to Valencia, apparently in vain, that they can not hold the territory un- less aid reaches them.
 Reports indicated that there was being written in Spain today per- haps the most terrible page to date of the history of this mort terrible civil war in modern history.
 Not only was the rich Bilbao area the victim.
 Madrid, the capital, has been shelled heavily for IA of the last IS days. The shells are falling not in the battle lines outside the city but in the cilivian area. Unofficial eS- inmates were made in Madrid to- day that in the Is days $40 persons have been killed and 970 wounded a total of 1,510.
 A United Press Staff Correspond ent walking along the Gran Via, the broadway of Madrid, saw Is shell holes, most of them bordered with blood pools, and saw men with four hoses washing the blood from the street.
 damned into Bilbao are about 100000 on-combatants, many of them ragged, hungry, refugees driv- en from their homes in the sur- rounding area.
 Closing in on them were the na- tionalist moors, foreign legionnaires and Spanish fascists.
 A dispatch received at Paris from the loyalist official agence espagne allege that 1900 Germans had been landed at San Sebastian.
 The pro-loyalist, anti-Nazi Daily Herald, newspaper organ of the British labor party, said in an edi- torial commenting on loyalist charg- es that Germans directed the bom- bardments:
 There is something to support the suggestion. The machines (air- planes) and bombs were German and it seems almost certain the pi- lots were German. The raid Con Guernica) was carried out with merciless precision. Did the Ger mans take the terrible oportunity to trp out their young air force against this peaceful town on its market day?"
 Of Berlin newspapers, only the Tageblatt mentioned allegations that Germans directed the raid. The Tageblatts headline was agitation against Germany to divert attention from red atrocities" A sub-head read: English fairy tales about German airplanes in Guernica at- tack"
 Rafael Picavia, head of the Basque delegation, alleged that six weeks ago an emissary of the Ger man government warned the delega- ton that unless Bilbao was surren- dered the nationalists would lay the country waste by bombing, with the aid aof 100 German planes. He al- legged further that this "emissary'' admitted that Germany wanted the mineral wealth and factories.
 An Italo- German general staff is directing the campaign against the Basques with sheer brutality un- known in history" he said.
