Madrid Still Holds Out
Franco’s Amateurish Ideas Rouse German Contempt PREVALENCE OF INTERNATIONAL JEALOUSY. United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 10.20 p.m. MADRID, Feb. 1. Madrid is still holding out against General Franco. The danger of a resumption of the rebel attack on Malaga seems at present averted. Seventy-five per cent, of the casualties at as at Madrid are women and children. The vaunted prowess of the Moors which formerly bulked largo in war messages i 3 now almost unmentioned. German soldiers do not conceal their contempt for Franco’s amateurish ideas of warfare while Franco is disinclined to employ Germans because he is aware that their operations would eclipse anything of which his troops are capable. Confirmation is lacking of the Daily Herald’s story of an armed clash between German and Spanish officers, but the prevalence of international jealousy is sufficient for it.
