LUCK PLAYED MAJOR PART
IN GEN. FRANCO'S CAREER
Franco proudly proclaims that
neither he nor his regime has1
changed. It Is the West which now
accepts "our truths."
Franco lacks the excitable Latin
temperament. He has the tradi-
tional character of the son of Gal-
icia, a province of northwestern
Spain: "Coolness, reflection, ten-
acity and intuition." But his un-
derstanding of the Spanish people
and how to manage them is pro-
found.
Short and stocky, he Is at 67
a quiet family man who neither
smokes nor drinks. He has a good
grasp of English. His sports used
to include tennis but arc now lim-
ited to hunting and fishing. He
enjoys watching Spanish and for-
eign movies in his private cinema
at Pardo Palace, 10 miles north-
west of Madrid, where he lives.
In 1923 he married Carmen Polo,
daughter of a wealthy Asturian
businessman. Their daughter mar-
ried Cristobal Martinez y Bordiu,
Marquis de Villaverde, a chest
surgeon. Five children are their
grandfather’s delight.

MADRID (AP) - Few have had
the good luck of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco, President Ei-
senhower’s host today.His good
fortune is proverbial in Spain.
Even his choice of an Army
career, which took him to the
command of rebel forces in the
civil war and to his present posi-
tion as chief of state, chief of gov-
ernment, and head of the only
authorized political party, had an
element of luck.
As the son and grandson of
naval officers, he had every In-

Axis bidding for Spanish favor-
the Germans to bring Spain into
the conflict, the Allies to keep her
out ,
At the end of the war, when
Franco’s position at home was
shakiest, the Western democracies
had the United Nations declare his
regime a menace to peace. That
rallied the Spanish people to sup-
port him.
A few years later the conflict
between the Communist and dem-
ocratic countries brought Franco
into Western councils. This gave
him desperately needed foreign
credits and, for all practical pur-
poses, an alliance with the United
States.

Mexico Enforces
Beef Price Quota
Christmas
Personals
WASHINGTON (AP) - Mexico
has placed quotas upon exports
of live cattle and upon slaughter
of cattle for export as beef. This
move is designed to protect its
consumers against price increases
and shortages of beef.
Reporting this, the Foreign Ag-
riculture Service said the action
is not expected to have a large
effect upon trade with the United
States in these products.
U.S. prices for feeder cattle—
the type normally exported to the
United States—have been weak in
recent weeks and no change in
the trend is in sight. Likewise
boneless beef prices in this coun-
try have fallen sharply recently
and no big recovery is foreseen.
"These factors, coupled with
the higher domestic prices for
beef and cattle in Mexico, prob-
ably would have resulted in a
drop in Mexican exports to the
United States without the imposi-
tion of export quotas," the service
said.
