FEEBLE DENIAL.
RED CROSS BOMBED. Norwegian Doctor Tells Story Of Nazi Atrocity. A'PPALLINa EXPERIENCE. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, April 30. . The Berlin radio mentioned the Norwegian report of the bombing of the hospital ship Brand the IV. and claimed that German airmen had been instructed to adhere strictly to international law and never to attack hospitals or hospital ships under protection of the Bed Cross, provided they were marked. The Norwegian Telegraph Agency interviewed the medical superintendent of the Brand the IV., who said: "Five German bombers attacked us three times. They must have seen the large red crosses painted all over the ship. "The effect of the attack was appalling. Everybody aboard was more or less seriously wounded by bomb fragments. The ship went aground and the Nazis machine-gunned us as we landed, and kept up a merciless attack for over an hour."
