...almost the same time Valencia's crowded tenements were bombed almost as severely. Leftist Defense Minister Indalecio Prieto claimed this was a Rightist "attempt to assassinate" seven British Laborite M.P.'s who had been visiting Valencia's law courts, were on their way to a luncheon at the officers' training camp. The nearest bomb fell at least a quarter of a mile away, but the Rightist's radiorating Queipo de Llano soon made priceless Leftist propaganda by bellowing that the British Laborites are "Marxist scoundrels and a pack of savages whom we will punish...

C.), of whom Duke Kung is the 76th lineal descendant...
...latest bomb in its recent attack on the New York stock exchange, the Securities & Exchange Commission last week released its annual report to Congress, declaring that national exchanges have not yet demonstrated their capacity "to police their markets effectively against manipulative and deceptive practices." Hardly was this news on the streets when-giving a convenient plausibility to its assertion- SEC brought formal charges of manipulation in the stock of Auburn Automobile Co. against two partners of the important brokerage house of E.
