Meantime, with the strikes over, heavy snows in tho moun tainous lumbering areas hnvc caused seasonal layoffs of many logging crews. Coast Guard Warns Of Large Icebergs SEATTLE, Jan.

Mariners wero warned to watch carofully for drifting mines along the Alaska coast, nnd one mine was reported sunk by gunfire at tho entrance to Prlnco William sound. The World Today By D.WITT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler njxraxrijnru.ru.iiniii--i ( rv- -- -v-i MADItID,' Jan. 30 When you set out to delvo Into the private life of Generalissimo Franco you soon discover that, as mi American friend of mine hero laughllng ly puts it, "there, Is not any." T hat may slrlko many folks us 1 1 ni 11 K 0 In view of tho glaring black murks In tho allied books 11 g o I n s t Franco's mime. wo cuu put him down as an anomaly, for he is a curious mix ture of many things. Franco lives nfter the fashion of u studious professor, but in the surroundings of a king. I do not mean that he is nt ull a humble person, for he definitely is nut, nut his personal wants apparently are simple. He likes hunting in winter nnd fishes 1111 vabwiA&kimJ MacKENZIE Indeed I think mtlently and assiduously during id that he likes to stay ul home his summer vacation. Beyond The Franco family the nan- erallsslino, his wife and their daughter live In the ancient town of El I'urdn, eight and a half miles from Madrid, In one of the royal palaces, It was there, amidst all the georgeous trapping of monarchy, that I hud a long talk with him one of tho few newspupor Interviews he has granted. Heavily Protected Naturally it was not surpris ing to find the gcncralisMino heavily protected ugtilnst intrud ers. I urrived in El Pardo hnlf an hour ahead of my appoint ment nnd utilized this time in looking over tho quaint old filnce. The pnluco stands In tho leart of El Pardo, within high walls, and I remarked to myself ns I started to stroll about that If tho Spanish secret police were on tho Job 1 was likely to be picked up, for 1 obviously was a stranger. Sure enough, within a few minutes nn alert little man popped up from nowhere, flushed his secret service badge on mo and smilingly but firmly wanted to know something of my history and Intentions. Ho soon was satisfied, although I huvo no doubt ho kept mo under survelllunco until tho big squad of armed officers at the palace gate had examined our car and party and hud passed us inside. At tho entrance, by tho way, wore two of tho genurullsNiino's famous Moorish mounted body guards which hnvo caused con- slderablo heart-burnings in some quurters becuuso many Spaniards do not like tho Moors. These fellows were Hitting proudly on their horses like statues, with Milked steel helmets blazing In the sun thrnugh tho tops of their turbans, and lances erect ngulnst their stirrups. Sure of Himself I soon discovered that Franco's mind works swiftly and that he seems very suro of himself. You hear it suld that he has no nerves. Bo that as It may, I was struck by tho calmness and u( fublllty with which he received nnd unswerud tho more than blunt questions I put to him. Nino men out of ten would have become angry at the nature of my inquiries, but 11 he wus an. noyed ho certainly did not show it. The chief of suite also looks so very fit physically in his mil- nary uniform at tne age 01 03 that he might easily be mistaken for 45. This probably is partly a hcritngo of his vigorous Afri can campaigns as a young of ficer service which brought him a brigadier generalship at the ago of 34. Another reason for his physical well being may be Hint he is said to be a light enter and does not use tobacco or alcohol. 900 Empty Box Cars Ordered WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (IP) The Interstate commerce com mission notified ScnBtor Mit chell (D-Wosh.) It has ordered 000 empty box cars turned over to two railroads in transporting wheat from elevators to mill; and docks In Washington, Oregon and California. Mitchell said the cars, most of them to be sent to Washington, were allotted to the Great North ern and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific roads.
