BY HAL BoYLE

MADRID, Spain lR - Spain has
come up with curious program
for the problem Of initiation which
now bedevils almost every modern
land.
After losing Its attempt to keep
prices In check during the past
year, Spain has decided to try hold
ing the fort by granting a series
Of cash bonuses to workers instead
Of flat salary increases.
This is a compromise worked
out by Generalissimo Francisco
frances advisers, who earlier
licked Spaln's black market prob
lem by doing away with bizarre
economic experiments that had
crippled individual effort here.
The stop-gap compromise calls
for one or more monthly salary
bonusesoto all employees Of private
| firms-bonuses to be paid entirely
by the employer. 1t was adopted
after heated argument between
Spain's labor minister and the
minister of commerce.
The labor minister said the
workers simply could not live on
their present income. The COM
merce minister contended a gen.
eral pay hike would bring a new
wave of imitation.
The number of these emergency,
one-month salary bonuses to be
granted varies with the industry.
For example: bank employees, who
already get q months paid vaca-
ton each year, under the new
scheme viii be paid II months
salary for the IL months they
work.
The ordinary day iaborer, paid
by the hour, gets nothing extra un-
der the new program. He remains
Spaln's forgotten man--feeding and
clothing himself and family (and
told it's patriotic to have more and
more children) on IA TO 1s pesetas
a day. That's between IS and As
| cents a day.
He is so low on Spain's economic
totem pole that he often works
without shoes and his clothing is
ragged and tattered.
He Is able 10 get by only be-
cause every member of the fam
ily. including the small children,
work at any job they can find. It
is common for a man In this coun-
try, even a government employe,
to hold two and even three Jobs
If he is fortunate enough to find
that many.
II does the day iaborer no good
10 protest at his pistanee because
there is plenty of unskilled labor
available. Yet the supply Of really
skilled labor is so short that Spain
must import technicians from 9TH
er countries for her factories.

Sam Harris is bound and de
termlned to show people the utter
corruption within the Republican
party as compared to the Demo,
Gratis. Or should we say, as com.
pared to the purity and sanctity
OF the Democratic party?
Sam deserves to be encouraged.
Whether he is right or whether
ne Is wrong in his ideas, he is
serving a noble purpose : that OF
making people think for them
selves.
This election won't be won by
journalists. Neither Roosevelt
Truman. nor half of the political
office holders in Washington would
have been elected if newspapers
controlled public opinion. The best
that a truthful writer can do is to
stir the public into action. Once
this action has been secured, it
IS like having a bull by the tail.
There is no telling which way the
public is going to turn.
Anybody's guess is good as to
how the election will turn out next
Tuesday. One thing We should all
face = regardless of whether Ste
venson or Eisenhower wins, there
are going to be hard times. ahead
and it is up to all of us to pitch
In and work out our problems.
Our present economic system
is like soap bubble. II is pretty
but hardly stable enough to stand
the stress and strain of today's
irrational thinking.
Consider Government Bonda. !.
They haven't been selling too
good so interest rates are being
upped to encourage more buyers.
Who pays for this additional in
terest? The buyers of the bonds
through additional taxes. How the
government figures that such a
set-up increases the attractiveness
of the bond issue is beyond the
comprehension of the average man.
Or consider the extent in which
the Federal government has enter

HAL BOYLE SAYS

His utter poverty seems less
shocking to Juan Lopez-Spain's
common man-than it does to out
side eyes because Juan has had
this lot for centuries under every
regime. He remembers with yearn-
ings now the days of the monarchy,
which fell in 1881, because bread
cost less then. And to him the
price of bread is always more i'm
portant than who runs the govern
ment.
Spain's newest Alice in Wonder
land economic experiment, the
monthly bonus barrier to further
initiation, means as little to Juan
Lopez as the outcome of the Ken
lucky Derby. All he feels sure of
is that he will still be holding the
bag.

ed the real estate field. If a de.

1t is a rough situation. IF the

In spite of the dirt that has been

their own closet that would make
