MADRD.-The new United
States Ambassador to Spain
Lincoln MacVeagh is the OPP
posite type from his predecessor,
Stanton Griff1s, except that they
are both men of ability and
neither is now married. The
easily met. enormously success
full businessman Ambassador
Griffis loved gayety, entertained
frequently and enjoyed consid-
erable popularity with Madrid
society.
Ambassador MacVeagh's tastes,
on the other hand. are quieter
and more scholarly. Well liked
and highly respected by the
people who know him. he is,
nevertheless. still quite new to
most Spaniards as he only ar
rived in Madrid last spring.
With a long record of ambasSa-
dorial posts behind him, he
inspires confidence with his pro-
feSSional calm.
Which brings to mind a COM
ment made by a young man on
his staff during his assignment
in Greece. II don't think, Mr..
Ambassador" observed the young
diplomat. "that the Greeks are
politically sophisticated" my
dear boy" replied MacVeagh,
'both words are Greek"

the construction Of a combined
embassy and ambassadors resi-
dence that will supplant the
present separated units. The
finished structure will be a
seven-story Office building with a
semidetached house for the
chief Of mission, but it won't be
completed till the end of 1858.
Spain is a mans world and
there are no two ways about it.
Even the men admit it. You
see comparatively few women
on the streets here even in the
daytime, but there are always
large groups Of men standing
about. In striking contrast to
the Paris scene, you sometimes
see every seat at a sidewalk cafe
occupied by a man. Women
keep pretty much to their homes
and to their social functions,
and very few women in the top
class hold any kind of jobs and
then only in very limited fields.
Dress Designer Pedro Rodri-
guez bewails the lack of any
fashion columns in the local
newspapers. Fashion is not in
cluded. he says, because it is
looked upon as just feminine
stuff. When he and other lead
ing designers recently held
showings Of their collections
which drew fashion editors of
Vogue. Life and numerous other
United States publications. not
one word about them appeared
in Spanish newspapers!

Nenana Reports On Ice Conditions
Special 10 the Nugget

Nenana is not issuing sidewalk superintendent cards this spring but they are thinking of issuing river bank superintendent cards.
 The pile driving operation there is causing lots of speculation and mostly on the part of non-Nenan- ians, who would like to inform all who are concerned that the pile driving and repair of the docks will in no way effect the ice breakup.
 First of all, the pile driving operation starts below the point where the tripod will be erected and said operation will continue downstream. There will be 1,54O feet of new piles driven and this part of the operation is scheduled to be finished April 20th, which is the earliest date of the breakup in the past 34 years. So it is still anybody's guess.
 Al Wright, Nenana Air Service bush pilot, says there has been great deal more snow this year in the surrounding area than pre- vious years. Walter Minano, own CT of Minano'S Express, measured the ice over a month ago and it was thirty inches thick in mid stream. Recent measurements at the shore line were 16 IS inches.
 Charles Wilson, former Ice Classic manager, says the ice increases in thickness with the coming of spring. Manager Don Clark is polishing up the meas uring rod and will have an ac- curate up-to-date measurement in about week.
 In answer to few queries they have received, Nenana reports that no bridge is being built there in connection with the repair work on the Alaska Railroad docks. The pile driver affects only ten feet of the shore ice.
 Also, they would remind you, do not delve into what second the ice may decide to move-only the exact minute is important.

Workers for Secret North Pole Base Get $3,OOO,OOO


 investigation heard Thursday that workers on a Super-secret air base construction program near the North Pole collected more than three million dollars in wages be- fore even reaching the job.
 It. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, chief of Army Engineers, defended these payments as well as sal- aries at a rate of $13,000 a year for laborers and $17,O0O a year for mechanics on the project.
 Questions by Downey Rice, counsel for the committee-which was set up as watchdog group On military spending brought out the salary figures.
 Rice did not indicate how many workers shared the three million dollars, but said they drew the pay while enroute to the job by ship and airplane. He said some of them left Norfolk, Va, by ship expecting to be at the job in 15 days but actually were 42 days on the way.
 The project was known by the code name of Blue Jay"-pre- viously publicized as being in Greenland.
 Rice said this project and an- other air base construction job in North Africa, known by the code name of Atlas" already involved expenditures of about 100 million dollars.
 Gen. Pick recently has returned from a tour of these overseas bases, including those in French Morocco in North Africa
 Rice asked Pick why workers had been recruited at premium pay," sent to a center and then sent back home to await orders while getting standby pay" that amounted to $317,OOO at the rate of S4 per day per man. Their reg ular pay began when they left for the job.
 Pick explained that it was nec- essary first ito carefully screen" each worker after he had been re- cruited, sent to a center to be briefed and then sent home to await orders after clearance.
 ''This was hazardous beyond anything ever encountered in con- struction," Gen. Pick said, appar- ently referring to the North Pole work.
 He said it was necessary to transport the workers by both ship and airplane and that the ships needed icebreakers to get through.
