the protecting trenches and storm the
| building itself after a barrage Of artil-
lery fire has paved the way. This has
proved futile, since there can be no
adequate preparation. The lines are
| so close together that government
planes dare not bomb the insurgents
for fear of killing their own men.
Artillery fire has proved OF little
value, since the unfinished building
in places is merely a steel skeleton.
Shells pass through 1t without doing
damage. Where masonry already had
been added to the steel work, the
debris merely tumbles down to form
mounds Of rubble that offers more
protection than ever to the defending
forces on the lower floors or in the
cellars.
This process has been going on for
so many months that the huge struc-
ture, guarded by scores of machine
guns, has become kind OF gigantic
pill box, against which storming par
ties are helpless
The second way to take it is by
starving it out. To do this it would
be necessary to complete the circle
of government trenches at the Man
zanares River. This, too. has failed
after many attempts. Once the lines
we're within 600 yards of each other,
but food and munitions got through
anyway.
Bridges Destroyed.
At first the insurgents used wooden
foot bridge across the river, but no
less than four such structures were
destroyed. Three times they were
blasted out by government artillery
and once fire boats, launched at
night above the bridge, drifted down
the shallow stream and set the bridge
beams on fire.
The insurgents then solved their
transportation problem in different
way. They deepened their main
supply trench on both sides of the
river so that it was as safe as it was
humanity possible to make it.
Then they had only the narrow
river, hardly 40 feet across, to cover
under fire. Each day they threw
dirt and rocks along the banks and
into the edge of the river itself to
form sloping walls which offered an
effective screen against most of the
government fire.
Now the supply trains and reliefs
make their way through their deep
trench to the river bank at night.
Then, taking advantage of the dark
ness. they scramble across, laden with
munitions and food and plunge into
the deep trench on the opposite bank.
From there they can easily make
their way to the clinical hospital
This operation has been thoroughly
successful. The keenest vigilance on
the part of government troops has
failed to stop the flow of food and mu-
nitions to the pill box.
Except for the nightly fire when
the government men try to catch the
conveys as they splash through the
shallow river. both sides have pretty
we'll given up attempts to fight.
Morning after morning Madrid has
walked to see the huge building
wreathed in smoke only to see the
smoke disappear like mist and find
the enemy still perched firmly in the
citys doorway.
Evening star., 1937-10-01
BY ALEXANDER H. UHL,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.


NEW RORK, October Ma
drid's Clinical Hospital. spearhead of
the insurgent drive on the Spanish
capital last November, still points its
deadly head at the government strong
hold despite violent efforts to de-
stroy 1t.
Tons of dynamite and thousands of
shells have shattered and stunned
1t. Wave after wave of government
troops have stormed it. Yet 1000
tnsurgent shock troops, most of them
Moors, still cling to it desperately and
can still look down into the streets
of the capital barely a stones throw
away.
Looked at from the top Of Madrid's
famous Telephone Building the roofs
of the Clinical Hospital merge into
the roof of the capital itself. 1t seems
incredible that the building, designed
to be one of the finest hospitals in the
world. can shelter an enemy within
the very city itself.
But it has been so now for almost
q full year. This has been possible
only because of the peculiar geographi-
cal position of the structure and its
great strength as fortress.
On Fringe of Capital.
It Is situated on the fringe of the
city. Occupying several acres of
ground, the building is surrounded by
empty fields and is the heart of a
horseshoe trench system that curves
past city streets and swings down to
the Manzanares River
To the river and beyond runs the
fortress lifeline, zigzagging trench
through which supplies and munitions
must trickle to the men who have
clung, month after month, to their
desperate position.
The perimeter of this trench system,
where government men and insurgents
are sometimes separated by barely 10
or 20 yards runs through and under
buildings. tunnels through cellars and
crosses paved streets in deep gashes.
Its narrowest point is at the river.
where there is corridor less than 100
yards wide and where every inch of
ground won or lost has meant desper-
ate struggles.
The perimeter then sweeps quickly
away as the trenches twist along the
river banks to make the fortified line
that runs halfway around the cap
3tal.
There are only two ways to smash
this deadly thrust into Madrid itself
The government troops have tried both
only to find themselves hurled back
time and time again.
The first way is to break through

an exception. There the houses
rent on a SO or 81 a room basis.
These projects are not subsidized
as are the Federal projects.
Just how much a Government
subsidy means, in addition to alb.
Sorbing almost half of the conStrucs
ton coSt-and it may be more
than half under the new program
can best be understood by look
ing at the items which ordinarily go
into rentals. First there is the cost
of the building. The Government
just about cuts that in half. Next
there is the amortization charge,
since all owners of new properties
include that in their calculations.
In the case of Federal projects the
amortization or inStallment pay
ments on account of the cost are
spread out over 60 years, making
the annual charge against the
tenants one-SiXtieth of the cost.
Then only three per cent interest
is charged on the unpaid balance,
as compared with a normal rate Of
six per cent. Next the depreciation
charge is small, since the projects
are well built. Then the taxes or
the equivalent service charge is
lower than usual. And finally there
IS no profit in ownership or In
management.

Virginia to Bronx

These PWA limited-dividend
projects range from an early one
in the little mill town of Alta
Vista, Va, where so small frame
houses were constructed, to five
million dollar loan for the Hillside
Homes project in New York's
Bronx, built under the leadership
Of Nathan Straus, and a three
Observation-Disclosures loan for
the Boulevard Gardens project on
Long Island. Hillside Homes con-
tainS 4,948 rooms in 1,4l6 apart
ments. Boulevard Gardens has
3,6l5 rooms in 957 apartments.
In all caseS-both in the Federal
projects and the limited-dividend
projectS-Strict standards of light,
ventilation, lawn areas, social SER
vices and recreation facilities have
been enforced. Boulevard Gar
dens, for example, occupies but %
per cent of its 13-acre site, the re.
mainder being devoted to parks
and a playground. Hillside Homes
occupy 38 per cent of a sloping
hillside site. Community facilities
there include an auditorium, wad.
ing pools, Fairgrounds, a nursery
school, workshops and clubroomS.
The Washington times., 1937-01-21
Competition to Stay

Director Gray of PWA's housing
division has calculated that to
amortlze a project over a period
of go rather than 80 years cuts a
dollar a room from the rent
charged the tenants, with interest
at 4 per cent. On a four or five
room apartment that is four or five
dollars month. And that is only
the beginning. So it is that the
people who finally occupy houses
or apartments subsidized by the
Government will find themselves
paying far lower rentals than they
can get anywhere else for the same
space-and getting more for their
IN many other was as well.
Competition with private busi-
ness? Certainly! In a big way.
But it has to be done. in the view
OF Government leaders, or at least
should be done. And is going to
be done! Private capital can't
build on that basis, naturally. It
