The TV A authorities seem to think
this Is a hold-up. They have offered
what Berry thinks Is a "ridiculous

have failed.
The matter now la likely to get
Into the courts and become public
either through condemnation pro

for damagea by Major Berry.
Note The only public break on U
was when a radio announcer at a
central states microphone said some
time ago something to the effect
that Berry was being "paid off" by
TV A on some very valuable land he
owns. Retraction was made within
34 hours. "

. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 3. &)
Approximately 1,000 pickets patrol
led the gates of the nine major mo
tion picture studloa in Hollywood to
day as production wa resumed on
normal schedule. Studio officials said
many of the pickets were non-studio
workers.
The Metro-Gold wyn -Mayer, Para
mount and Warner Brothers studios
were heavily picketed. There was no
disorder anywhere.
At Paramount, executives found the
locks to their office doors would not
work. Matchsttcka had been Jammed
Into the locks and there was consid
erable delay while the sticks were
pulled out with pliers.
There was a liberal sprinkling of
women In the picket lines, it was a
well-dressed group of protest nts. too
Nearly all wore natty sports outfits
and read newspapers on develop
ments In the strike.
William McDowell. In charge at
para mount's main gate for many
years, said very few pickets at that
studio were employes. "I don't know
where they came from." he said.
"I've never seen them before, and I
know everybody out here."
Pldgeon Smith, chairman of the
central strike committee for the Fed
era ted Motions Picture Crafts, which
called the walkout In 11 unions, said
It waa "entirely possible" that ma.ny
of the pickets are not studio work
ers. He said his understanding was
that-there are "front 3,000 ""to fi.000
pickets on duty." These figures were
far over a cursory count made by
newspapermen, at 9 a. m., however.

REBELS TRAPPED
NEAR BILBAO TRY
Italians With Insurgent Army
Column Leap Into Sea
England to Protect
Evacuation of Children
ST. JEAN DE LUZ France, May 3.
(AP) Scorea of Italians from an In
surgent army column today were re
ported trapped at Bermeo. on the
Bay of Biscay coast about 8 miles
from Bilbao.
A Basque officer, reaching Bilbao,
said they were leaping Into the sea
and attempting to awlm to the east
ern shore of Guernica inlet, 3 miles
away.
The Basque reports said govern
ment troops had encircled Bermeo, a
small but important port.
(In London, authorized spokesmen
meanwhile said 5000 children shortly
would be evacuated from besieged
Blibao under protection of British
guns. British and French merchant
ships will co-operate In taking out
non-combatants.)
Bermeo la northeast of Blibao. To
the southeast of that besieged Bssque
capital, an Insurgent column wss re
ported to have captured Mazaza, in
the Amorebleta sector between Dur
ango and Bilbao.
The Insurgents also ctslmed a
"slight advance" at Guernica, In the
north.
Diplomatic quarters heard today
that the Spanish government bad
sent Its biggest battleship, the Jaime
Prlmero, to the Bay of Biscay off
Bilbao, apparently tn a move to shell
Insurgent lines around the Basque
cap! tel.
British and French men-of-war pa
trolled the bay today to protect mer
chant vessels bringing the first
refuges out of Bilbao. .. .
Diplomats asserted the Jaime Prlm
ero, carrying 13-Inch guns, probably
would be able to strike a crushing
blow against insurgent vessels operat
ing In the bay, particularly since the
sinking by government planes of the
Insurgents' heaviest warships, the
Espana.
