LIFE'S AMBITION
Toledo, Sept. 30. "The relief of the Alcazar has been my life's ambition and now the war is definitely won," declared General Francisco Franco, who hurried here as soon as he received news of the insurgents' victory.
A wave of mystic fervour spread over the crowd assembled to greet him and all knelt as the General drove into the sacred city and alighted in front of the ruined citadel, where women and children kissed his hands.
Amidst moving scenes, General Franco entered the Alcazar's ruins. He had to scramble up a steep pile of rubble, leading to a mass of twist- all ed Iron, wood and stone which is that remains of the great fortress. The General, who was forced to pick his way gingerly to avold treading un unexploded grenades still lying about,
