Madrid Offers Sight
OF Beautiful Streets
And Fearful SIums
By Fred Sporks
Foreign correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chieooo DojIy News


MADRID, Spain. July 7.-Beauti-
full Madrid is a city with countless
charming public services and some
Of the worlds most fearful slums.
Behind its tinseled front with
miles of cafes, well-tended boule-
wards and streets wetted down sew
eral times a day to keep cool, lie
slum areas where there is not sim
gle street lamp or a paved road
and garbage collection is unknown.
There, in primitive squalor, live
some 80 per cent of Madrid's popu-
lation, now more than a million.
Not the narrow alleys characteristic
of big cities, Madrids slum areas
are acres Of empty, dirty lots. 1t is
much like having Tobacco Road
next to Park Avenue.
Shacks Cluster Near Bull Ring.
Near the great bull ring at the
Plaza De Toros is a settlement OF
tiny houses and shacks clinging tc
the side of a barren tree. 1t had
Just rained and my interpreter and
I waded through a pond of shim-
mering, knee deep mud to knock on
the door of one Of the shacks. A
woman in black answered and we
talked our way in. She said:
II live here with my three sons
They all work. The youngest is sick
and I have placed him in a Catho-
lie orphanage-I cannot care for
him. My husband has been dead
these IL years. The Reds marched
him out one night during the civil
war and I have not seen him since
The priest says he was killed be-
cause he attended church"
We walked around the house :.
three tiny cell-like rooms-two beds
for four people. The only decora-
tions on the walls were a crucifix
picture of Manolete, the great
Spanish bull-fighter, and q snap
shot of Tyrone Power.
Menu Described.
The kitchen is bare except for 9
table and a charcoal stove. Water
comes from a public pump down the
block
Menu for today?
Breakfasts hot malt drink.
Lunch-codfish, tomatoes and ar
orange.
Dinner-white beans and slice
of bread.

A middle-aged man said to her:

No Wine In Six Years.
Il have not had glass Of wine In
six years." said man. And Spain
is the land Of wine"
I almost had to push my way
through the crowd-all Of whom
wanted to talk to me: wanted me to
visit their homes. They seemed to
think an American could press a
magic button, knock down great po-
litical obstacles, and bring q great
flow Of foodstuffs and clothing to
their tiny spot Of misery.
"Yes." said my interpreter, as We
walked away, these people have a
hard life-oh. you don't know what

squeezed us out by thirty votes. Thirty
lousy votes! Can you beat it!'
John Miller didn't reply Immediately. He
stared at the board where the figures were
being chalked up.
But we still grabbed off almost two thirds
of the council Seats" the man was saying.
"Just of-hand, Mr.. Miller" he smirked
I'D say things were sort of looking up."
HE figures were there now, final and
decisive: Rowan 1887 - Bancroft 1907. John
Miller smiled family and nodded.
YES" he murmured reaectively Eyes,
they're looking up"
As he turned away he felt a warm hngle
coursing through him. :. As though it were
part of the TRANSMISSION.
He lighted another cigar and drew deeply,
contentedly. An extremely satisfying election
night, he decided. And who knows? Maybe,
by the margin of thirty votes, it could even
be a night of destiny. The End

he frowned. 1T sure beats me, that battle

John Miller thanked him and drew deeply
on his cigar. Somebody showed oongratula-
tory wire into his hand and soon they were
pouring in. His lieutenants grinned widely
as they brought the kilograms to his desk.
Flash bulbs were popping and the buzzing
was a few decibels louder and perhaps two
keys higher in pitch. That's the way it
always was when things were breaking right.

''Oh, few hundred" was the reply.
A few hundred made it comfortable enough
in that kind of contest. Miller glanced at
his watch. 1t was ten forty-fve. The men
at the board were erasing earlier figures,
marking down new ones as fast as they were
handed to them.

Standing in the doorway of his private

Then some reporters came in and asked few
questions for their headquarters color stories.
He smiled and gave them the usual answers
along with the usual fifty cent clear Havanas.
This was his night, this was the way he
liked it, but still the idea persisted that the
measure of satisfaction was not as full as it
might be. And when he considered the
reasons he was sure that if those around him
could know what he was thinking they would
brand those thoughts as treasonous and
heretical - and he the head of the party!
AND yet he had done his job honestly
With his careful attention to the smallest
details he'd made sure that everything had
been done that could be done - and that
went for the twelfth ward, too. From that
point on it was up to the people. In the final
analysis the people had way of deciding
things for themselves - including any notions
on whether or not it was time for trans
fusion of fresh blood for their political
systems. He gazed soberly at the board.
A few of the more important party leaders
came into his Office for drink. One of them
chided him for not having champagne on hand
for the proper celebration and he chuckled
good -naturedly He barely touched his own
glass but it was still little while before
he was able to break away. His impatience
now was almost anxiety
This time he went himself to the tabulat-
ing crew near the big board. 1t would surely
be in by now whats the final on twelfth
ward council?" he asked. Although he
steadied his voice on casual note he was
aware of a quickening of his pulse.
''Just gave it to them this second" the
man said, jerking his thumb up and over his
shoulder. Sorry. Mr.. Miller, but we didn't
make it over there. That young Rowan
