- PANSHPRESSEAG S ST EFFEEOE NeWspapers, After 8 Years of Censorship, Don’t - Know Wheh They Will Be Free. By the Assoclated Press. MADRID, March 13.—After oper- ating under almost constant govern- ment censorship for eight years, Spanish newspapers still do not know when they will be free. During the seven years of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, commencing in 1923, censorship never ceased. Primo’s system was as simple as it was iron- hmdeg"lhd effective. ]il:uelthfl ;\‘I‘hmal oul newspapers _pri anything heu?d‘inkzd, or he im| ines which meant ruin, and if continued he put the editors in jail. ‘Was Managing Editor. For seven years Gen. Primo de Rivera | was, for all practical purposes, the managing editor of every newxpn?er in Spain. Amiable enough personally in mmuys. he could be and he was Tuf in many other ways, and the newspapers either said what he liked about politics or they said nothing. The next premier, Gen. Berenguer, tried to operate without a bensorship, but he had no luck. He quickly re- stored the censorship, put it on again, took it off, established it once more. It was more often on than off, because, after being suppressed so long, some newspapers went pretty strong in gov- ernment criticism and in what the gov- ernment considered rabble-rousing, in- flammatory agitation whenever they were given the bridle at all. Rioting Recurred. ‘When Berenguer lifted the censor- ship the first time labor strikes, uni- versify student riots and anti-monarch- 1al litical meetings leldlng to riots quickly followed. He restored the cen- sorship and the rioting stopped. He lifted the censorship again and once more disturbances - broke out all over Spain. That cycle was repeated over and over and culminated in the December revo- lution, after which there’ was nation- wide martial law and a military cen- sorship more severe possibly than any- thing that had begn known before. Some weeks after this revolution blew {tself out Berenguer made his last and, for him, fatal attempt to give Spain a free ppress. He again removed all cen- sorship. The newspaperf said and In a few days the public was 50 inflamed that Berenguer fell revolution or dictatorship threatened, the throns was in very real danger, the slumped to all-time lows and was dem: . ‘When Will 1t End? lenty eel!

CITIZENS SATISFIED BY SCHOOL ADDITION Park View Association Votes to Thank Board of Education for Improvement. Members of the Park View Citizens’ Association, at a meeting last night in the Park View School, expressed com- plete satisfaction over school and other civic improvements in their section. F. 8. Walker, secretary, was instructed to sencly letter to the Board of Edu- cation e.-pressing the sentiments of the residents as having secured everything that could be desired in schools and equipment and that the association “could ask nothing more.” Plans for a celebration on the open- ing of the new additions to the Park View Platoon School were made. It was voted to co-operate with the Pa- rent-Teacher Association in celebrating the formal opening, which will be held about May 1. No action has been taken by the Board of Education to transfer the Monroe School, Columbia road and Sher- man avenue, from a white to a colored school, as stated at the last meeting, it was reported by the Special Investi- gating Committee. John 8. Cole, president of the asso- ciation, presided at the meeting. o Easy Tire Changing. ‘The business of changing the tire on the automobile is rendered easier by the use of jacks which are permanently in- stalled on the car. There are four of them, and when their services are not called for they are stowed away un- obtrusively, but when 1t is necessary to make a change the jack nearest the soft tire is dropped and a few turns of a crank raises that of the car. ‘The business of placing a jack under the car is entirely avoided.
