BOMBING HORRORS
o LITTLE MARKET TOWN TURNED INTO SHAMBLES Latest Deed of Spanish Insurgents VAIN PURSUIT BY LOYALIST PLANES By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. (Received This Day, noon.) BARCELONA, May 31. All the ghastliness of Guernica has been reproduced in Grangollers, a market town with a single main street, in which thirty-six houses are wrecked and choked with debris, from which troops and workmen are digging out bodies. The first bomb dug a hole in the busy market square and created a shambles among the queues of customers. Another split a three-storey store from top to bottom. The raiders, after inflicting the maximum possible damage, machinegunned the fleeing citizens, and then sped to Majorca with thirty-three loyalist planes ineffectually pursuing them. The death-roll includes many children, who were killed when a bomb struck a school.
