Subject	Air warfare Bombardment Politicians Longshoremen Longshoremen's unions Flags War casualties Nobel prizes
Description	Bill writes to Marjorie telling her that his plans to leave Spain have changed since losing his passport in an air raid. The train carrying documents and books was hit by a bomb so the soldiers must submit new applications to Washington. He expects it to be another 10 days until the Consul can get the information out. He will be traveling to Barcelona the next day to visit the maritime workers. Bill talks about a deadly air raid over Barcelona the previous week. He mentions that the fascists were able to reclaim lost ground near the Ebro, at a heavy loss of life. He discusses the recent US elections, espcially Olson's win as California governor. Bill ays that the people in Spain think that the next Nobel Peace Prize should go to Negrin and asks Marjorie to start spreading the word. He says that he is having a Spanish Republican flag made with all names of all the seamen that have been killed in action and plans to present it to the Maritime Federation on the Pacific Coast.
