Alexandria 1714 Madrid Offers Sight Of Beautiful Streets And Fearful Slums By Fred Sparks Foreign Corretpondont of THo Star and tfc* Chicago Daily Nows MADRID, Spain, July 7.—Beauti ful Madrid is a city with countless charming public services and some of the world’s most fearful slums. Behind its tinseled front with miles of cafes, well-tended boule vards and streets wetted down sev eral times a day to keep cool, lie slum areas where there is not a sin gle street lamp or a paved road— and garbage collection is unknown. There, in primitive squalor, live some 30 per cent of Madrid’s popu lation, now more than a million. Not the narrow alleys characteristic of big cities, Madrid’s slum areas are acres of empty, dirty lots. It is much like having Tobacco Road j next to Park Avenue. Shacks Cluster Near Bull Ring. Near the great bull ring at the Plaza De Toros is a settlement of tiny houses and shacks clinging to the side of a barren tree. It had just rained and my interpreter and I waded through a pond of shim mering, knee deep mud to knock on the door of one of the shacks. A woman in black answered and we talked our way in. She said: “I live here with my three sons. They all work. The youngest is sick and I have placed him in a Catho lic orphanage—I cannot cafe for him. My husband has been dead these 12 years. The Reds marched him out one night during the civil war and I have not seen him since. The priest says he was killed be cause he attended church.” We walked around the house . *. . three tiny cell-like rooms—two beds for four people. The only decora tions on the walls were a crucifix, a picture of Manolete, the great Spanish bull-fighter, and a snap shot of Tyrone Power. Menu Described. The kitchen is bare except for a table and a charcoal stove. Water comes from a public pump down the block. Menu for today? Breakfast—a hot malt drink. Lunch—codfish, tomatoes and an | orange. ' Dinner—white beans and a slice of bread. "I bought my last, pair of shoes f ... the lightness of fine beer has been combined with the extra flavor of great ale! Give your taste a change of pace...Get Calling's! mwm cotroration or America. Cleveland, ohio AIm feriwirs il Cirllii'i link Likit Ini four years ago” said the woman, “now I wear alpargatas." Alpargatas are cheap, paper thin slippers worn by the poor people of Spain. “I also work,” she continued. “On Sundays I am a maidservant. With my three sons (youngest 13) we make 615 pesetas-a-month. Rent is 45, almost everything else goes for food and carfare.” Food Costs Soar. This isn’t much in a land where a second-rate pair of underwear shorts cost 15 pesetas; ham is 32 pesetas a pound; a dozen eggs bring 17 pesetas. And most of this food is unavailable—except on the black market at zooming prices. • “Look at the roof,” said the woman. “Whqp it rains we are wet; when it is cold we are cold.” We visited a few other homes in the neighborhood. They were all the same—little better than caves. (In fact, a large number of people live in caves on the outskirts of Madrid.) But all the houses were "WW IS Teart Reliable Service Flo on Repaired—SuppHei Sold lAlA-ZOth Strut N.W.

A small crowd followed us around and a woman asked: "Why don’t you Norteamericanos help us?” A man said: “We don’t get any aid from our government. Mrs. Peron (wife of the president of Ar gentine) promised us each a bowl of soup each day during her visit. Where is the soup?” I A young man asked: "Can you ' take me to Father Flanagan’s home of the boys.” A woman said: "We had a man i here—he came from Cuba. He said jin your country people work hard and they eat fine. Here we work hard and we do not eat fine.” A middle-aged man said to her: “Stop talking like that, you fool!" No Wine la Six Years. “I have not had a glass of wine in six years,” said a man. "And Spain is the land of wine.” I almost had to push my way through the crowd—all of whom wanted to talk to me: wanted me to visit their homes. They seemed to think an American could press a magic button, knock down great po litical obstacles, and bring a great flow of foodstuffs and clothing to their tiny spot of misery. “Yes,” said my interpreter, as we walked away, “these people have a hard life—oh, you don’t know what a hard life.” c?upek-/aAtic HOUSE PAINT 1S63 1941 fight?-Hr* colorful yaarr at quality Certainly Dees last FELTON-SIBLEY * CO..
