nnld that more and more, vet
erans nre returning to the la

ing shoring makes it difficult
to obtain workers for certain
Job openings In many commu

sire to Increase all sorts of
heavy construction activities in
order to employ unskilled
workers.
Meantime, with the strikes
over, heavy snows in tho moun
tainous lumbering areas hnvc
caused seasonal layoffs of many
logging crews.

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."

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

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.
