Covering The Madrid Front-

Ziffren's Uncensored Story

BY LESTER ZIFFREN

London, Feb. 28,

Foreign newspapermen covering the Spanish civil war are undergoing the greatest continued personal danger in journalistic history.

Reporters, who have seen both the World War and the Ethiopian War, agree that more privations and threats of personal injury occur in. this war than in either of others.

One well known news photographer, who enjoyed wide success taking pictures during the Ethiopian war. left Spain saying, "Ethiopia was easy but Spain is hell." Two of the Madrid United Press staff have felt the rigours of the war the same as did the Spaniards. They as well as the other forolkn newspapermen suffered, and are suffering, the hardships and extreme discomfort, as well as the risks undergone by persons directly concerned in this terrible warfare in bloodstrewn Spain.
