CHAPTER vi

"The scene inside that great living
room that had seen so much o. hospi
tality and festivity was one to grip the
heart of man of stone.
"a lovely woman-a golden-haired
Irish woman-that we well knew from
other days when she had been smiling
and happy in the love of her husband
and son, was lying on the floor, bru-
tally murdered. Beside her, gun still
in hand, for he had been trying to
defend his home and the wife he had
adored, was a man, Spanish don we
recognized, after a moment, as the
hidalqo of the hacienda. 1t was he
whose voice we had heard, for he had
groaned when we had called.
"We did what we could to help him,
but the torture that had been inflicted
on him was frightful. He had been
horribly burned, and both of his eyes
had been put out. 1t was not right
that one so young as you should have
pictures of such cruelty, though you
have intimated to me that you, too,
have known sorrow through the deaths
of your own padre and mddre. But it
is necessary tnat you should know what
1 tell you if you would understand the
mystery of the man about whom you
are asking me.
1"For that man you know as Ell Ca
ballero Rojo was the young boy of
eighteen or SO who came in on that
scene while we were still staring in
horror. He had been hunting and SO
had escaped the devils who had brought
this horrible devastation to his home,
his parents. He came in singing roll
licking air, and with brace of rabbits
for his mother. :. :"
He saw Juanita shudder, and his |
eyes were filled with sympathy as he |
paused for a moment. Then he went
on, as with the determination of man
who had set himself course and must
pursue it to the end.
without going into the tragedy any
deeper, my son." he said gently, but
with a grim Tightening of his lips, II
can tell you that the blinded father
lived. With the sons help we brought
him here to the mission. The son-El
Padilla Miguel-is he whom people
now know as Ell Caballero Rojo.
The priest said no more, and Juanita
drew long, quivering breath as she
looked about at the peace and beauty
If this mission that had been Ell Cabal-
ero Rojo's home. She saw the old man

Taft Urges Extension
OF Federal Public
Housing Program
By Robert J. Lewis
Reol Extute Editor of The Stor

Senator Taft believes the Govern
ment's public housing program
must be extended If the Nation is.
to solve the housing problem.
Declaring he had given wide
study to alternative plans, including
"a proposal that builders be SUBJ
sidized to construct low-rental
housing, the Ohioan told a meet
ing here yesterday he is convinced
none of the other plans would do
the job.
Senator Taft, who spoke before
the Potomac Chapter, National As
-sociation of Housing Officials, in the
Washington Hotel, said there are
6,000,000 substandard homes in the
United States.
Calls Costs TOO High" /
He said housing costs, even in i
normal times, were too high for the
lowest 20 per cent of the urban
population"
They just can't get or pay for
decent housing" he said.
Differing with spokesmen of the
real estate industry who, he ex-
planned, say Let us build and we
will take care of the problem" the
co-author of the Wagner-E -Eilender-
Taft general housing bill, declared:
Il just don't think private enter
prise building can take care of this
loWer-income group"
Pointing out that the rewritten
version of the general housing bill
provides for an expanded public
housing program. he said he is
hopeful" the measure will be en-
acted at this session of Congress.
Denies Project "Socialistic."
Denying public housing is social
istic," as builders and others have
charged, Senator Taft likened it to
other Federal aids, such as to edu-
cation.
1T is the same kind of operation
that We have always tried to carry
out" he continued. Il feel very
strongly that we should establish a
minimum floor under essential ser
vices of this kind so that, as far as
possible, we can eliminate poverty
and hardship"
Present at the luncheon. besides
representatives of the Washington
Board of Trade, Washington Real
Estate Board and Washington
Building Congress, were delegations
from local housing authorities in
Norfolk, Alexandria. Richmond, and
Bristol, Va, and Allegheny County,
Pa.

thority; Maj Ger. U. S. Grant III,

Stiff Senate Opposition
To Marshall Aid Plan
Seen b, Supporters
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

A Democratic leader said today
that administration lieutenants are
preparing for toughened resistance
to their efforts to win congressional
approval of the Marshall plan early
in 1S48.
This influential Senator, who
asked not to be quoted by name,
said attempts to gauge the Senate's
sentiment on the proposed European
recovery program have indicated
much stronger opposition is likely
than that registered against the
s400 ,000, 900 Greek Turkish aid prof.
ect.
Sixteen Republicans and seven
Democrats voted against passage OF
that measure April %, while IS Re-
publicans and 80 Democrats favored
it. Some of the % mo" votes were
cast in obvious protest against by
passing the United Nations.
"Isolationist' Revival Seen.
Democratic stratSgists said they
believe some of the Ct who went
along on that vote areagoing to show
more opposition to the overall plan
TO pour American dollars and goods
into Europe's faltering economic
structure.
They profess to see a potential
revival of what they class as an
'isolationist" spirit among Sena-
tors who have never been enthusi-
astic about expenditures abroad
but have gone along with the tide
AS an indication Of how he views
the trend, Senate Minority Leader
Barkley reported in his annual re-
view OF the congressional session
that the "Greek-Turkish aid bill
drew fire from isolationists backed
by Communist dominated propa-
ganda groups"
Pepper Sees Anti-Liberal Trend.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF
Florida put it in somewhat different
words when he told a weekend
news conference that he thinks
there Is a growing "anti-liberal and
basically anti.internationalist atti-
tude" in Congress and the country
Administration leaders obviously
have no intention of proposing aid
to Russia as a part Of the Marshall
program.
And much of their hope for over
coming any 'isolationist" trend ap-
parently hinges on the possibility
that Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio will get behind the proposal
when it is brought to the Senate
floor by his colleague, Chairman
Vandenberg of the Foreign Rela
tions Committee.
For that reason, Senator Taft's
statements on foreign policy ques-
tions will be watched closely as he
makes his way back across the
country from the West Coast on q
political sounding out tour in Sep
tember.
Senator Taft has said the United
States is interested in reasonable
loans to enable foreign countries to
go to work and help themselves.
But he has insisted that this aid be
confined to actual goods, machin-
cry and equipment necessary to
enable the countries which receive
them to restore their own produc-
tive ability"
