ROCKERFELLER IS
TAKEN BY DEATH
AT FLORIDA HOME
ORMOND BEACH, Fla., May 27.? I
John D. Rockefeller, Sr., founder of
one of the world's unost colossal private
fortunes and benefactors of humanity,
died in his 98th year Sunday
at his winter home. '"The Casements."
Death came to the aged capitalist,
who 1 ago had withdrawn from the
tumult of the financial world, at 4:05
A. M. (EST), in the quiet of a Sabbath
dawn.
His physician Dr. Harry L. Merryday,
attributed it to scierotic myocarditis,
a hardening of the heart
muscles.
It was, for the man who had fought
his way up from the farm, who had
seen wars nd panics, booms and depression,
a peaceful, painless death.
Unexpectedly?he had been in comparatively
good health since coming
south last October?he drifted off into
a coma at midnight.
Only once did he rouse himself,
and that was to whisper something to
his valet and personal servant of 20
years, John V. Yordi, at about 2 a.
m.
Ho asked to be raised higher in his
bed, and when it was done he murmured
"that's better." Yordi said his
master apparently had no realization 1
the end was near. <
When Dr. Merrvday arrived at 3:
30 o'clock the fiail patient, wasted by r?
the ravages of age, was unconscious.
Gradually his pulse grew weaker. 1

The man who pyramided his savings '
from a $4.~>0 a week job into the
Standard Oil Tr ust which once con- t
trolled three-fourth's of the country's
output, was dead. .
He once wrote: ,
"I believe it is every man's religiously
duty to get air he can honest- t
ly, and to give all he can. [
True to that cardeo, he bestowed s
more than a half-billion dollars on r
carefully chosen philanthropies, transferred
much of his holdings to the t
present head of the clan, John D. ^
Rockefeller, Jr., and died leaving
what a family spokesman described ,
as a "relatively small, very liquid"
estate. s

Four Basque Battalions
Captured In Foothills
WITH GEN. MOLA'S REBELS
OUTSIDE BILBAO, May 27.?Four
Basque battalions comprising: 2.500
men were trapped in the Azubian
i foothills south of Bilbao Sunday night
when Gen. Emilo Mola's rebel columbus
surprised them in a ''nutcracker"
I attack.
: The panic-stricken loyalists encircled
by thousands of troops and
crawling through brush under a cur-,
tain of machine gun and artillery fire,
had the choice of surrender or annuihilation.
Mo la's officers said they had only
scant chance of escaping from the
trap.
Bilboa defenders abandoned their
mountain-rimmed positions around
Maneria along the Oehanliano-Durango
highway as Mola drove his
troops upon the city from Urquiola.
They fled westward in disorder, attempting
to reach Dima, six males away.
There they found their companions
scattered, their retreat cut off
by another insurgent column moving
upon Bilbao.

MANY ARE KILLED
IN BILBAO BY WAR
PLANES ON FRIDAY
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Frontier,
May 27 ?Rebel warplanes
swept upon Bilboa Friday night machine-gunning
and killing many Basque
women as they huddled in groups
outside food shops, frontier dispatches
said.
Basques charged that scores of
black winged German Heinkels suddenly
appeared over Bilboa after a
squadron of Russian-made Loyalist
planes from Santander bombed and
scraped rebel troops around Munguia i
Heights seven miles northeast of the
[capital.
The rebel planes, according to the |
Basques, first bombed the shattered
capital, then swooped low over the
crowded streets and riddled lines of
women obtaining their nightly distribution
of food.
The attact came after Loyalist
planes raked the rebel lines without
opposition. Then they disapeared
toward Santander.
The rebel air raid was the first reported
machine-gun attact on Bilboa
since the six week seige began.
A Basque communique said that
rebel Gen. Emilio Mola lost 50,000
dead and wounded since the start
of his drive on Bilbao. Five thousand
casualties were reported on the
aonuve Meignts.
A regiment of Asturian cavalry,
used for the first time in northern
Spain, was wiped out in a charge
against strong insurgent entrenchments
at Una and Maranna on the
Leon front to the west a rebel dispatch
said.
Seven hundred Asturian cavalrymen
were killed or wounded, it asserted.

Funds For Parkway
Are Voted Wednesday
WASHINGTON. May 27?By a
vote of 141 to 59 the house of representatives
Wednesday adopted the
Doughton amendment to the interior
department appropriation bill making
5,1 e;nn OAO -?
v^,uvv,vuv a'uunuic 1UI CUIISH UL"
tion of the Blue Ridge Parkway during
the fiscal year begining July 1.
Following this action of the house,
by a vote of 101 to 72, defeated another
amendment by Representative
Ford (D., Miss.) which would have
made $5,000,000 available for the
parkway next year and $5,000,000
for the Natchez Trace parkway in
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.
This later proposal would have
replaced the Doughton amendment
and had it prevailed, there is every
reason to believe that on a roll call
the Blue Ridge parkway increase
would have been defeated, house
leaders said.
