tent The bombing of Guernica continues to shake world GUERNICA Spain APThe largest air force until then ever assembled thundered toward the town The deep growl of engines shook the air shook the groundand continues to shake the world In three hours on plea sant sunny afternoon nearly 39 years ago those aircraft destroyed most of Guernica the ancient capital of the Bas ques and one of the cradles of civilization Guernica nestled in broad valley near the Bay of Biscay in northern Spain was and is the spiritual home of the Basque people with its historic parliament building and the ancient oak tree in the parliament grounds The tree is the very symbol of Basque culture and independence The towns destruction by German bombers on April 26 1937 embodied the full horror of the Spanish civil war Few episodes of any war attracted such sustained outcry as that following the razing of Guernica In terms of emo tional aftershock the bomb ing ranks for many with the devastation of Dresden Hiroshima and Nagasaki STORY DISTORTED But the truth about the bombing has been blurred over the years by propaganda from all sides and by the skilful mixing of fact and fic tion Only guard opens door MONTREAL CP Five ar med robberies in less than 10 monthstwo of them marked by gunfirewhave forced the Royal Bank of Canada to take extraordinary security meas ures at branch in the near community of St Laurent says branch manager Bruce Varruthers No longer can customers stroll in and out of the bank in this quiet community Mr Carruthers said in an in terview An armed guard studies each approaching per son before pressing button that opens the banks elec tricallycontrolled bulletproof glass doors Once in the bank the cus tomer may be searched by an other armed guard Because of the fears of bank staffs the security measures adopted for St Laurent may be extended to other quiet neigh borhoods where banks have be come the frequent targets of ar med robberies Of the 14 employees had here last spring when the first robbery took place only five are still here Mr Carruthers said Some of the staff have asked to be transferred to other branches while others have just wanted out altogether PATTERN VARIES The banks current staff is made up largely of employees who accepted transfers from other branches In the five years before Mr Carruthers came to the St Laurent branch in 1968 the bank was robbed five times There were no incidents from 1968 until last spring when Mr Carruthers experienced the fir st armed robbery in his 23 years in the banking business There was no special pattern to the rash of robberies that fol lowed Some appeared to be the work of professionals others seemed amateurish Bullet holes are still visible in Mr Carruthers office door and he has been manhandled by gunmen trying to stop him from releasing the silent police alarm Business at the branch has been expanding rapidly But Mr Carruthers says the strain and discomfort of the heavy se curity may eventually have an adverse effect COURT ACCEPTS The bloodhound is the only breed whose matching of mans scent and track is ac ceptable as court evidence in the United States II Year

republican ar my during the civil war destroyed their own holy city and blamed the Nazis The republicans on the other hand exaggerated the death toll to more than 3000 and said 10000 were in juredfigures still cited Twent seven months of researc into the destruction of Guernica including inter views with 30 eyewitnesses of the bombing show the death toll to have been under 500 the
