LONDON. Monday, April 1—(U.Pt —The cabinet, in a surprise Sunday session, gave orders to the battleship Hood to fire on Spanish rebel ships "if necessary'' in protecting British shipping on the high seas.
The Hood, 46,200-ton pride of Britain's navy, arrived at midnight off Bilbao, on the Spanish Biscay coast where General Francisco Franco's rebel fleet had stretched a "starvation" blockade. APPEARANCE PLANNED The appearance of the Hood in Biscay waters was believed to have been ordered to give stern emphasis to the war-llke British warning.
There was no indication that the Hood would be given orders to smash the Bilbao blockade by es-

By Clark Jonea
Floating over the cross bar at 14 feet 7*» inches with nearly six inches to spare, Bill Sefton, sinewy muscled member of Coach Dean Cromwell's famous bamboo climbing trio, set a new world pole vault record at the coliseum Saturday afternoon ln the aftermath to a 79-52 Trojan victory over the University of California track team.
Never having cleared over 14 feet 3 inches in his life before Saturday afternoon, Seftons supreme effort eclipsed the previous world mark of 14 feet 6'st inches set last year by Oeorge Varoff, University of Washington sophomore.
HOTTER THAN FIRECRACKER Troy's Olympic veteran was hotter than a firecracker. After both | he and his high-flying teammate, Earl Meadows, had crossed the bar at 14 feet 4 inches for a new coli-| seum record, and both had barely i missed on their second attempt at j the new world mark, Sefton gritted J his teeth, whirled down the runway, jammed his pole into the vaulting j box and became the first man in With the team debate champion- history to ever scale the perilous ship of the Pacific Forensic league height,
