"Elections"
In Spain
Mudrid, November 21.
posters have up- peared in the streets of Spanish cities for the first time since 1930 and polling for the elec- tion of municipal councillors begins today.
This does not mean that the elections are free but they re- present a slighụy new departure.
All municipal councillors the Franco regime have untii now been appointed by the Gov- ernment, but tomorrow the beads of families may choose from the officially sponsored list one third of the councillors.
Next Sunday,
further one third will be elected by the State labour syndicates and on Decem- ber 5 the remaining one third will be chosen from another list of official candidates by the councillors already elected.--Reu- ter.
