25,OOO FAIL TO
 RENEW LICENSES Every Effort Being Made to Apprehend State
 ViOIatOrs

In the opinion of Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the motor ve- hicle department, there are thou- sands driving automobiles without licenses at the present time in Con- necticut. A report by the chief clerk of the department indicates that about 25,000 Connecticut motorists who had 1886 licenses did not renew them this year.
 Every effort to apprehend these violators is to be made by authori- ties who will maintain a constant road checkup throughout the sum- mer months. In addition, the de- partment will check on the names in the files and take immediate steps to determine if the individuals who have not renewed their licenses are operating autos. It is believed that many of those who failed to renew licenses might have no use for them, but tn suspicious of the commission were aroused by the figure 25,0O0.

The strike originally had been called in sympathy with $50 Cone maugh and Blacklick railroad work CTS, who walked out because Beth lehem officials refused to sign a contract with two railroad brother hoods. But Watkins announced later that "this is more than a sympathy strike"
 Demands Of Our Own
 we have specific demands of our own to make" he said. We want signed contracts with Bethlehem covering wages, hours, recognition and working conditions"
 Sheriff Michael J. Boyle appealed to Ed Prendergast, secretary to Governor George H. Earle, for state police. He explained that part of the plant along the Conemaugh ri- yer was outside the city limits, thus creating 8 problem for local law enforcement authorities.
 Watkins indicated that the Unit ed Mine Workers of America-John L. Lewis union-might be asked to call sympathy strikes at five cap- tive mines of the Bethlehem Cor poration.
 "The union has not signed con- tract with the mines," he said. T don't think that anybody can keep them in there if there is a strike in the steel mills"
 M. I. Rose, attorney for the na- tional labor relations board, came here to survey the strike situation and to investigate S.W.O.C. charg- es that the Bethlehem company had violated the Wagner Labor Act.

 ficial newspaper organ of the com- munist party, said il its editorial:
 "The artfulness of the agents of fascist intelligence services in our country has not helped and will not help them. By defeating the last military espionage we not only strengthen the power of the red army-we have disclosed plans of a certain foreign government, and any attempt by it to attack the Soviet Union will be the beginning of the end of Goebbels and his like"
 GOebbels Mentioned
 Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels is the Nazi minister of propaganda, and the inference seemed unacceptable that Pravda was disclosing that Germany was suspect in the trea- son trial.
 Goebbels and the German press, were mentioned in 8 Pravda edi- tor1al yesterday and no other for eign nation or personality has been mentioned. Vassilly Ullrich, presi- dent of the supreme court, presided at the trial before the courts mili- tary collegium. With him sat three marshals of the army and four gen. erals. Defendants were:
 Firing Squad Victims
 Tuckhachevsky, former vice-com- missar for war; Gen. R. P. Elder man, chief of the Osoaviakim, whose 5000, ,000 members comprise the army air force auxiliary Gen. B. M. Feld- man, chief of the administrative board of the war commissariat; Gen. A. I. Kork, former chief of the army war college; Gen. K. V Puma, former military attache at London, Berlin and Tokyo; Gen. J. E. Jakir, commander of the important Lem ingrad military area Gen. J. P. Uborevitch, recently replaced as the White Russia area commander, and Gen. V. M. Preimakov, former chief of army personnel Chief Judge Ullrich announced that the accused pleaded guilty and acknowledged their guilt fully
 Verdict Issued
 "The court has established that the defendants were employed by the military secret service of a for eign government conducting an un- friendly policy against the Soviet Union.
 They systematically gave 1t espionage information. They per- mitted wrecking acts intended to undermine the power of the red army and to prepare for the defeat of the red army in event of an att tack against it-an attack that would be aimed at splitting the Soviet Union and returning the landlords and capitalists to power.
 "The special court found all eight guilty of violating their military oath, treason to the red army and treason to the motherland." Conviction meant that without the right of appeal, without the chance that any oficial might seek to ex- tend mercy, they were turned im- mediately over to the secret police and that the secret police were ex- pected to shoot them at once.

of the Basque Republic rushed 20,- 900 reserves to the spot, it was -e- ported, and took charge personally of the Loyalist defense.
 A Nationalist radio communique flashed from the general headquart- ters at Victoria said that Nationalist storm troops had captured the vil- lage of San Martin De Flea, in the Flea sector northeast of Bilbao, and thereby made their first break through the Fl Gallo line which is Bilbao's last hope for safety.
 In the attack, the communique said, the Nationalists captured Mt. Orcoulou and Hills Nos. 361 and 363, forming among them dominant ring around Flea.
 Smash First Defense Lines
 By the capture, it was asserted, several thousand men were able to break through the first line of the Fl Gallo defenses.
 Loyalists and Nationalists, know ing that victory might mark defl- nitive turing point in the civil war, fought throughout the night in the Fica sector.
 General Fidel Davila, the Nation alist commander in chief, sent sev- eral thousand men down the Bilbao side of the hills and thus penetrated the outer ring of the Fl Gallo belt. In the Orduna sector south of Bil- bao the Nationalists asserted that they took the village of San Pedro and Hills Nos. 100 and 190.
 In a long arc extending from north to south on the east side of Bilbao. from the Bay of Biscay to Orduna, death rained from the skies and glared from the battle-crazed eyes of the sweating men on whom the bat tie depended.
 72 Days of Attack
 At last, after 72 days of attack, the Nationalists were attacking di- rectly the Fl Gallo line of fortifica- tions, centering their main drives Oh points south, southeast, east and northeast of Bilbao.
 The naval commandant of the French port of Rochefort warned navigators that the port of Bilbao, on the bay, and the sea-roads lead- ing in from 1t were under the fire of long range Nationalist artillery.
 The NationaliSts were using ln their attack 180 airplanes, hundreds of tanks, massed artillery and Span- ish, Moorist and Italian infantry.
 There seemed little doubt that the next 72 hours would tell the fate of Bilbao. If the Nationalists broke through the Fl Gallo line, the first really fortified trench line that they have bucked in the civil war, Bilbao was. doomed. If the attack was stopped, the Basques had hopes that it would be stopped for good.
 Germany Warns
 Berlin, June l2-(UP)-Grim and portentous warning was given the Spanish loyalist government today that any further attack on German warships will bring reprisals paiing the shelling of Almeria.
 The ofacial news agency and morning newspapers, also under official control, gave the warning in commenting on an alleged Bilbao radio statement that a new sub- marine hotilla had been formed ito sweep any foreign submarines. be they German or Italian, of Spanish waters"
 Of this alleged statement the ofil- cial news agency said:
 "Let the Bolshevist rulers of Va- lencia and Bilbao be told that the slightest provocation, the smallest incident, will prompt Germany to fighting action"

 The union planned to continue negotiations with officials of several other local factories over the week end. Several such conferences have been held this week, and progress has been reported.
 CIO Statement
 Statements were issued to The Democrat today by local CIO organ izers Philip Brainard and Alex CaShin in regard to the union s failure to get a warrant yesterday from Prosecutor Frank Healey and in connection with a theft which took place at the Waterbury Buckle Co. two nights ago. The text of the statements follow:
 Tn order to offset any malicious rumor' in regard to the alleged theft of $450 worth of metal at the Waterbury Buckle Go. on Thursday evening, we wish to say again that we are maintaining an orderly picket line at the Buckle Go. and certainly feel that our members out on strike have had nothing to do with such a theft, if there was one. We also feel that the men and women are not foolish enough to jeopardize their positions by re- sorting to any such action"
 In regard to Prosecutor Frank Healey, organizer Philip Brainard said: "I was under the impression that MT. Healey, as prosecutor, was . public servant. In the light of his action, or lack of action yesterday, the members of the union feel that he is entirely too oflcious."
