Rebel Ship Is Bombed, Troop Landing Halted. Spanish Government Planes Make Direct Hits On Troopship To Stop Landing. Refugee Trains Are Demolished By Bombs. United States Calls Two American Fliers Who Fought In Spain For Questioning. (By The Associated Press) Bombs smashing on the deck of a Spanish insurgent warship stopped an attempted landing of Fascist insurgent ships today in the south of Spain to Spanish government planes routed a fleet of insurgent ships which were sea-trying to land men at Estepona. com-225-pound projectiles hit the decks of the cruiser Almirante Cervera. Estepona is about 40 miles from Malaga, which the Fascists bombarded this week, apparently in preparing to capture the city. Fascist aerial bombers struck at three other points in southern and central Spain, wrecking trains bearing I refugees from Socialist Madrid and ; hitting a hospital. j Bent on complete neutrality, the United States federal government subpoenaed two American fliers re- turning from Spain and called them before a grand jury to tell of attempts to recruit Americans for the fighting. The fliers, Bert Acosta and Gordon Berry, fought for a time with the Spanish government air fleet. There were significant moves in the general European scene.

New York, January 14, 1937 (Associated Press) Bert Acosta and Gordon Berry, ace American aviators who fought for the Spanish government forces in the civil war, today were served with subpoenas when they returned aboard the French liner Paris. Federal agents boarded the ship at quarantine and served the papers, which required immediate appearance. They went directly to the federal building from the pier. Assistant Federal Attorney John Dailey announced several days ago he was investigation the recruiting of American citizens for service in Spain and would attempt to learn from Acosta and Berry who had signed them on.
