 Madrid, Sept. 2S-Madrid has not been evacuated. De- pite all the efforts and pro- paganda, the population is still almost a million. The people who have left never lived in Madrid. For the most part they were people who came to Madrid from nearby towns, having fled before the advance of the Nationalist forces. The Madrileonas who still have their homes in Madrid, firmly --and Sentimentally-refuse to leave them. "The only way we'll get the people of Madrid to leave will be at the point of bayonet," said Q sol- dier.
 The British evacuation unit, however, has evacuated hundreds of children. I witnessed the departure of one such truck. Each child ear. ried . small parcel and favorlte toy; each mother was given . num- her and the same number on . metal tag was given each child and would be sent t0 the family when the child arrived safely at hls des- tinatlon. Some of the children smiled bewllderlngly; some seemed to enjoy the prospect of the trip, others wept. I wondered how many of these mothers would see their children again. ' pushed my way through the crowd and walked away aS fast as I could.
 There are five of us Americans living in the American Embassy in Madrid. We are paying guests, aS Uncle Sam no longer plays host to refugees.

To many Q poor man who has worked hard from childhood, the war has brought Q sense of freedom from drudgery, new comforts, better food (the soldiers cat wel) and, for the first time, money to spend. A man with ability can become an officer easily; there are no social or cultural barriers.

Washington, Sept. 2s-The so- called federal independent commis- sions, some of whose independence Congress undertook to preserve when it carved up the presidential reor- ganiSation program, are not always as independent as you might sup- pose.
 William Orvllle Douglas has just been elected chairman of the Se- curitles and Exchange Commission. Theoretically he was elected by the three other present members of the commission. Actually, 1t is very doubtful whether Douglas could have become chairman # the full White House influence had not been thrown behind him. Wall Street influences tried hard to block him, seeking the elevation of . more conservative commissioner.
 There Is no question about the fitness and ability of Douglas. The question was whether the SEC, un- der his chairmanship, would be tougher in dealing with Wall Street than under the previous chairmen, Joseph P. Kennedy and James M. Lands. Nearly everyone, from Wall Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, guessed that 1t would.

 The salmon pack was 752,l31 cases against 212,938 in 1885.
 w. D. Motts, Secretary of the APA, said the 1885 profit was due to the large carryoyer from 1884 which sold at high prices on ac- count of the small pack in 1855. The maritime strike cut off the 1886 shipments reducing that years profit. Higher operating costs also worked to the same result.
