STILL 'PHANTOM'
Loyalist Coast Is Scourged,
Oil Depots Are Blown Up
By Dawn Bomber Honor
Waits Marauder's Captor
(AS Feature Service)
MADRID A phantom air raider
has done' more damage to the re
publican cause In Spain since the
war started July 18, 1936, than any
two divisions of Insurgent enemy
troops at the front. His destruction
would be bailed throughout loyalist
territory as a major victory.
This air-raider, who usually oper
ates on moonlight nights, has de
stroyed countless gasoline and oil de
pots and ships, his raids being car
ried out In the most spectacular
fashion.
Very little is known of the raider
or raiding plane, which at times car
ries a two-man crew. Some have re
ported the plane to be Italian; others,
German. It is believed the Intrepid
filers change their equipment fre
quently, but never their methods.
String Of Successes
Because of censorship the world
has heard of this marauder only In
recent weeks when the plane began
to attack and sink British shipping.
Prior to that, however, the attacker
had a long and spt.tacular string
of succeses during which It Is reck
oned he destroyed around a half
billion liters of gasoline and oil along
the republican seaboard.
His most spectacular coup was In
Valencia harbor in mid-January
Plummeting down from a great
height with silent motor Just at
dawn one morning the plane barely
skimmed many flve-to-elght-mllllon
liter gasoline and oil tanks while the
pilots leisurely machine-gunned the
tanks with arm or -piercing bullets.
Burned Three Weeks
Then the plane wheeled sharply
and flew back to drop incendiary
and explosive bombs. There was a
sheet of flame as the oil took fire.
Three weeks later the fire had not
yet fully died out. Well over 100
million liters of oil and gasoline were
lost.
This episode was repeated at Bar
celona, Tarragona. Alicante and Car
tagena, leaving the government to
rue the day when preceding regimes
rejected the American-drawn plan to
put storage tanks underground In
the hills behind the coast.
The mystery plane's most brutal
attack came on April 14 north of
Caste lion where it swooped down on
the International brigade's Bed Cross
hospital train carrying foreign cas
ualties from Valencia to Barcelona.
After trailing the train at a 50-foot
altitude and bombing It, the pilots
circled about and machine -gunnea
the wreckage for 15 minutes. Sixty
patients were re-wounded and a
dozen died; some lost their minds
under the ferocity of the attack.
The raiders In June went after all
shipping, frequently disabling or
sinking two ships In a single night.
The same methods of direct, low at
tack with bombs followed by ma
chine guns were used, always with
success. The plane also experimented
successfully with an aerial torpedo
against the British freighter Thorp
ness outside the Valencia breakwater,
then flew off to bomb and sink a
nearby ship.
The raiders prefer the dawn attack
unless there Is moonlight. They use
a single motored hydroplane equip
ped with at least two heavy calibre
machine guns. To keep their hand
In during lulls the operators fre
quently have been reported machine
gunning republican highways.
The highest decorations and nonora
await the republican aviator lucky
enough to down the marauder and
clear up the mystery of his or their
Identity. Scarcely anyone believes the
plane is piloted by Spaniards.

FOR SIT - DOWNERS
CHICAGO, July 23. (AP) A fed
eral court ruling last night that
an employer may discharge workers
who seize property In sit-down
strikes appeared headed today for
supreme court review.
It set aside a national labor re
lations board order finding the Fan
steel Metalurglcal corporation guilty
of unfair labor practices and di
recting the reinstatement of S3 men
discharged February 17. 1937. when
they occupied the company's North
Chicago plant.
The court majority, Judges Will
M. Sparks and Walter C. Llndley.
held the workers lost their status
as employes when the company dis
charged them and hence "there was
no longer a majority of petition
ers' employes who were members"
of th union which sought collective
bargaining rights.
"It is urged by the board that
the commission of a crime by strik
ers does not preclude their right
to bargain with petitioner." the ma
jority opinion said. "This we admit,
provided they still are employes and
represent a majority of all.
"What we hold Is that there was
just cause for discharge. It was
exercised, and those who have not
been re-employed are not employes
and were not at the time of the
findings and order of tha board.
In a dissenting opinion. Judge
Walter B. Treanor contended the
strikers remained employes tor the
duration of the strike. He also said
illegal acta by employes did not
give the company a right to un
lawfully defy tha labor board.

Parental Leaning Toward
Children Shown in Study
By Corrinne Hard est t
(United Preas Statf Correspondent.)
CHTCAOO. (UP) The face that mothers have favorite sons nnci fathers
favor! ta daughters sometime a good many sons and daughters hsve long
suspected has been confirmed by scientific research.
Dr. M. H. Kraut, profossor of
psychology and sociology in the Chi
cago city colleges, has completed a
survey of tha filial value of children
to their parents.
"It all depends on tha place of
tha child among other children of the
family group," Dr. Kraut said.
"For example, mothers tavor their
first born, especially a first-born son,
the competitive strivings of the elder
male child. The young child, boy
or girl, gets most of father's affec
tion." The child who gets the least en
thusiasm from either parent Is the
girl child who follows another girl
in the family group.
'The -similarity In sexes In p re-
Tat hers react lass favorably to vlous and succeeding children la a
powerful factor in Influencing child
preference." Dr. Kraut said.
Mother-favoritism Is more widely
distributed than father-favoritism.
Dr. Kraut found, mothers generally
favoring all their male children ex
cepting the younger of two male
children In succession.
A girl child, following two male
children, has 72 chance out of 100
of being favored by her father and
has 62 chances out of 100 of being
submissive to the oldest brother,
Dr, Kraut's figures revealed.
The professor's studies covered
1,093 Individuals In 450 families and
were carried on over a period of
three years.
Twenty-six different poss.ute posi
tions in the family group all the
positions possible In a family of five
children were studied In relation to
30 characteristics. The cnaracter
1 sties included being favored by either
parent; being disciplined by either
parent; being attached to an older
brother or sister, submission to an
older brother or sister, etc
Dr. Kraut pointed out that many
parents think they are equally da
voted to all their children and that
It la commonly supposed only step
children or Illegitimate children ar
rejected.
"Clinical psychologist know, how
ever." he said, "that child neglect
may be found in normally consti
tuted families."
While pointing out that parental
rejection and parental disci; lne ar
not synonymous, Dr. Kraut found
that fathers tend to punish sons,
while mothers usually discipline
daughters.
