The Basque government said 3,000 Italian troops in the insur- gent army were killed in an as- sault when they were cut off from their base at Bermeo. An indication was seen of Basque fears that their capital could not hold out in the flight to France of the wife and children of the president of the government, Juan Antonio Aguirre. They reached Biarritz yester- day.

Holding that a recently enacted law permitting week-end sen- tences in Rochester applied only to that city, Sheriff Henry K.

The sheriff said he would be op- posed to an amendment permit- ting the week-end sentences in this area. He said it was neces- sary to establish an orderly rou- tine in a jail of 150 population and that the week-end plan would up~ set that routine particularly in re- gard to prisoners working on the mar)” farm and landscape proj- ec ACTION DELAYED As may be seen above, flames crackled through the e billowed skyward for several hundreds of feet. altracted many -motorists to the locality.

The budget for the fiscal year is $399,000,000 but of this amount only $42,000,000 is spent for oper- ating expenses, Bennett said.
