of course are helpful to Senator

minimized as much as possible.
Since then the President has
become a rampant fighter for the

Mr.. Gabrielson told his audi

from Franco"
It is generally admitted by the
many enemies of the Spanish die
tatorship that Gen. Franco him
self is as popular with the rank

head of a government can be.
They also admit that Gen. Franco
himself is honest. but they insist

The story of a trick which
ruined one aviation company in
Spain is told in Madrid and on
verification it proved to be abso-
lutely true.
Company Bankrupted.
A newly formed aviation firm,
competing with the government
supported Iberia Airlines. ordered
Is Lockheed Lodestar planes in
the United States. They were
paid for in cash and in due course
arrived at Madrid airport. Then
the trouble started. SPANS Gus
toms officers mysteriously ignored
them. The president Of the airline
the son Of a general who had
fallen from grace-ran about Ma
drid in vain trying to get action.
He and his partners had invested
everything they had in the COM
pany and bankruptcy was star
ing them in the face.
Gen. Franco visited Madrid air
port, saw the planes and asked
why they were still Grated. When
officials explained that they had
not yet been cleared by customs,
he told them that Spain needed
commercial planes and that he
expected them to be released as
soon as possible.
The generalissimo was assured
that his orders would be obeyed
promptly. but again more mystic
rious technical" difficulties arose
until the company went into re-
ownership. The planes were auc-
toned off and the Iberia company

Or-as we say-here today

All Leaves You Cold.
Yet somehow this all leaves you
cold. At least it would happen
quick. You don't plan to move

far as you can learn, is about the
way your neighbors feel, too. II
wouldn't be necessary again to

ALI that wouldn't do any good
with the atom bomb.
This dead-pan feeling you have
about all these alarms about atom
bombs is probably q case for the
psychologist. Maybe it's Just hui
man fatalism. Maybe we've had
SO many fright stories that We
are not sensitive any more. May
be we Just don't believe that mod

maybe this attitude Is all wrong

Other Examples.
There are many similar exam

This situation inks Spaniards
and provides ammunition for the
critics of the regime. Well-mean-
ing members OF the government
admit these shortcomings" but
point out that while two wrongs
do not make a right, similar sit
uations exist in the most ad-

where industries and transporter
ton have been nationalized or
have become state monopolies.
Spain they say, is still a politi-
cal state; that is to say, the Sc
curity of the regime takes prece-

ton. Hence. persons known by
their sentiments-or interests-as
loyal to the government are put
at the head of departments,
