By the Associated Press Hendaye, France; July 21 Spanish Government war bulletins reported tonight that Italian volunteers fighting with the Insurgents had broken defense lines near Viver, thirty-four miles northwest of Valencia.

Dispatches from Valencia said the attackers were held from entering the town when the defending militiamen laid down a heavy barrage. The bulletins described the Italian brigades in action as the "Littorio" and the "Twenty-third of March." Preceded By Bombardment Their attack, in which they swept over Ragudo Hill, two miles northwest of Viver, was preceded by war-plane and artillery bombardments. Insurgent bulletins said their troops had reached positions a little more than a mile west of Viver. Supporting columns farther west captured Salada Peak at a point where the borders of Teruel, Castellon and Valencia provinces meet. Seventy-five Insurgent planes bombed Government positions on the side of Ragudo Hill before the infantry advanced.

Raise New Barrlcadea Other militiamen meanwhile bad raised new barricades to the east of Viver in an effort to retard the usual Insurgent tactics of encircling a posi tion before occupying it. This strategy became apparent with the capture of a number of villages in the foothills of the Sierra de Espina, followed by occupation of Caudiel important communications center on the Teruel-Sagunto Railroad less than three miles northeast of Viver, Insurgents already had moved on Viver from the west, deploying strong forces in sectors around El Toro and Begis, respectively, lying near the town.

Foreigners at pointa along the Japanese upriver drive tovard Hankow said Japanese troops had been transported to the front at that rte during the last two weeks, along wiii much artillery, hundreds of horses ind vast supplies.

They expressed bdief the Japanese er massing to tleir utmost above Wuhu, but were lilely to wait for a break in the swelering heat and a lowering of the rier before starting the major offeruie in which they hope to take the provisional capital. Of Floods The Japanese admittedly were afraid If they launched an unreserved drive while the Yangtze remained near flood level that the Chinese would cut dikes and flood the Wuhan cities Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang and a large area to the east, blocking the advance The Japanese were believed plan-ring to maintain pressure on the defenses at Kiukiang, 13o miles down river from Hankow, until the river recedes, probably in September. The Unitd States river gunboat Oahu, arrivug at Nanking from Wuhu, behind the Japanese spearhead, re ported temperatures in the valley of about 110 cegrees. The heat caused considerable suffering among Chinese civilians anc Japanese soldiers. 30 Hilled By Bombs Japanese airmen pounded the Kiukiang sector site of a cross-river boom in a jontinuing effort to soften the Chines resistance.

Chinese said more than 300 bombs fell near Kiukiang and killed thirty persons. A Japanese naval officer announced that planes sank two Chinese gunboats, a munitions transport and loaded lighters on Tungting Lake, abouv 150 miles up the Yangtze from Hankow. In Shanghai two gunmen entered the xome of Wan Shi-sen, Chinese memler of the Japanese-dominated Shanghai district government, and killed him. One assassin was captured and a series of raids with numerous arresti followed, apparently the result disclosures by the prisoner. I.

VENTS of the last few days in the British steel industry indicate that the United Kingdom' offers a problem in monopoly such as that with which governmental commission is strug gling this summer in the United States. Chief among these events was the delivery of a big British steel company into the control of its competitors a delivery aided and abetted by the Chamberlain Government just as that company was about to give Britain the advantage of better and cheaper steel and to gain indisputable ascendancy over its competitors. Another event was a notice, tucked away In the back pages of the financial journals, that the Stanton Iron Works, Britain's biggest producer of foundry pig-iron, had resigned from its trade association because the asso ciation insisted on fixing prices at a level the Stanton company considered too high.

The announcement reiterated a re cent finding of Ben W. Lewis, an Oberlin College professor of eco nomics, who conducted a study of price and production control in Brit ish industry, that "the iron and steel industry, as recently reorganized, is the most completely sclf-cartelized and controlled of any major British industry." Regulation Increasing Professor Lewis, a former NRA ad visory council member, prefaced that dictum on British steel with these re marks on British industry in general "Today, when 'bust the trusts' is once more swelling the American breeze. Britain is gathering speed in the insti tution and development of schemes de signed to regulate prices, production and capacity throughout the entire in dustrial structure. While we have been clamoring for relief from control. Brit ish industrialists have been quietly passing their plates for more and getting it.

"The British Government is leading the movement by precept, example, in ducement and compulsion. The philosophy of control and restriction is finding its most complete expression in the rigid regimentation of the entire range of contemporary British indus try." The case of the steel company being delivered into the hands of its competi tors is merely another example of the part which the current British Government, under Conservative domination, is playing in creating and preserving price rigidities in British industry. World-Wide Effect The corporation involved is Richard Thomas 4 and its plight is of more than national interest, for what' ever restrictions are placed on Rich ard Thomas Co. affect motorists, eaters of canned goods and other con sumers of steel and tinplate through out the world. It is chiefly an exporting company.

In addition it is a member of the international tinplate cartel that met in secret at Baden-Baden this week and extended for three years its com pact for fixing prices and splitting up business in the world's tinplate trade. It also is a member, through the tinplate organization, of the interna tional steel cartel that recently met at Rome and similarly agreed to ex tend for three years its international cartel agreement with certain concessions successfully made to secure the participation of the American steel industry, at which Washington's monopoly investigators soon will be directing their beams. The story of what happened to Rich ard Thomas Co. this week requires a prefatory dip the company's history and a glance at its prospects up until the moment it wa. delivered into the hands of its competHors.

Formed In 1884 ine company, lormed in 1884, con fined its activities strictly to the tin-plate trade prior to the World War when, along with other British steel companies, it embarked on a big expansion program. Unlike the rest, however, It con tinued that expansion in the post-war years, with the result that ever since the war, as the Financial News reports, it has been "one of the great powers in the iron and steel industry." The post-war deflation hit Richard Thomas and all other British steel companies hard, but Richard Thomas was among the first to recover when trade revived. From 1927 onward it reported steadily mounting profits and by the end of 1934 had paid off all its accumulated dividends and rid itself of its arrears, the financial records show. Worse still from the standpoint of its competitors, Richard Thomas re sumed its expansion program almost at the first rift in the depression and it has carried on that program to date. Concern In Good Shape It controlled at the end of 1936 nine per cent, of British steel output and sixteen per cent, of British sheet output.

And despite this rapid expansion, the company by the end of 1936, as the financial journals record, "had cleaned up its balance sheet in good style." That, however, was not to be the end of the expansion program but merely its first stage. Sir William Firth, chairman of Richard Thomas promptly announced a further expansion that would dwarf what had come before. "The (new) program," as the Finan cial News reports, "had two parts. The first was the construction of a brand-new steel works with the new Ameri- duction of sheets and tinplate. "At the same time, they (the direc tors) decided completely to modernize the Redboum (Lincolnshire) steel works.

In the past Redboum had been something of a white elephant to the company. It had been bought in 1918. A huge plant had been built at wartime prices, was not complete until 1921 and was never able to work to capacity. It was a plant, indeed, thst cost the company 2,000,000 more than it should have done and was never properly used." Plan Is Discarded The fact that the company was at last to get its money back out of the Redboum plant by establishing there the cost-slashing continuous strip process imported from America is important because ot what happened next. Richard Thomas Co.

didn get to carry out its plan. Instead, the British Government stepped in and brought pressure to bear that ended in the company scrapping its plans for Redbourn and undertaking to build a whole new plant at Ebbw Vale (pronounced "ebboo in Wales. It was a time when agitation about Britain's "distressed areas" whole regions where industry has been on the rocks ever since the post-war de flationoccupied the center of the political stage. The Government Induced Richard Thomas Co. to make a sacrifice in the cause of patriotism, politics and social welfare.

It persuaded the company to scrap its plans for expanding the Redbourn plant and build instead at Ebbw Vale, a "distressed area." It was a costly change for Richard Thomas. As the financial journals point out, it meant higher operation costs due to shipping charges and the like, and it also meant vastly higher construction costs. The first estimate of the total cost of the new plant was 7,500,000 The bill has come to more than that. And the late 1937 slump in America knooked the bottom out of the world market for the company's output As a result, it found itself recently in acute financial distress. It had to have money to complete its Ebbw Vale project.

It found the British banks a tightly-knit group suddenly unwill ing to help out, and it turned to the Government for-aid. But the Government, which had promoted the Ebbw Vale project and which, under the Trade Facilities Act, had extended financial help to other corporations engaged in expansions for quasi-social purposes, suddenly turned as cold as the banks. It re ferred Richard Thomas Co. to the Bank of England, a privately owned institution that sets the tune for all British finance. Bank To Rescue The Old Lady of Thrcadneedle Street saved Richard Thomas.

"After a long struggle behind the scenes," as the Daily Herald's financial editor reports, "theibig banks and insurance companies agreed to put up the neces sary money on the condition of the establishment of a 'control commit The terms which the Bank of Eng land arranged, and Richard Thomas was obliged to accept, put in charge of the company's affairs a committee headed by Montagu Norman, Bank of England chief. Lord Greenwood, chairman of Dorman Long, one of Richard Thomas' competitors, and president of the Iron and Steel Federation, also was named to the committee. Its other members are E. H. Lever, of the Prudential Assurance Company, and Sir William Firth, Richard Thomas' chairman, who had fought against outside control.

Another part of the price Richard Thomas has had to pay for the money it needs to complete Ebbw Vale has been the addition to its directorate jot J. E. James, chairman of Lancashire Steel; Sir Charles Wright, chairman of Baldwins, and S. R. Beale, chairman of Guest, Keen Nettlefolds.

All three companies are competitors of Richard Thomas and among the biggest British steel companies. Control Of Competition "Thus," the Daily Herald financial editor added, "the heads of rival firms, taking advantage of Richard Thomas' need of new money, and operating through the banks, have succeeded in obtaining what at worst may prove a stranglehold on the highly efficient new Ebbw Vale works whose competition they so much feared." The Financial News thinks it is as yet uncertain whether Richard Thomas' new plant will be allowed to give con sumers the benefit of its moder equip ment and processes or be required to divide up the market with its competitors and keep its prices up to a level where they can meet them. The financial journal's uncertainty on the point seems difficult to understand in view of the fact that British tinplate manufacturers for several years have been operating under an NRA-like scheme that allots each com pany a weekly production quota. All other branches of the British steel industry have similar codes. Under them prices are fixed by agreement and openly announced.

Professor Lewis reports that prices are fixed "on a level calculated to be satisfactory to the less efficient members of the industry," a finding that perhaps provides an additional forecast of what's going to happen to the economies effected by Richard Thomas' introduction of the American continuous-strip-mill process at Ebbw Vale.
