Loyalists Raid Franco Base

BARCELONA--A Loyalist air squadron tonight raided Generalissimo France's aviation base at Palma de Majorca in the Balearic Islands, setting fire to three ships, in retaliation for a bombing attack that killed between 350 to 500 persons in the Catalan town of Granollers. A government communique said the three Insurgent ships set ablaze at Palma by Loyalist bombs were a part of Francos Mediterranean blockade fleet.
