MADRID, November 30.—Five ma« chine-gun bandits held up and robbed two city employes of approximately $120,000 today in front of Madrid's city hall, fatally shot one man and wounded two others, and «;caped in a taxicab. The city police, who do not carry firearms, stood helpless before the robbers’ submachine gun, but Fran- cisco Morales, a member of the City Council, opened fire with his pistol from a window of the city hall at the fleeing taxicab, which, when found later, contained several bullet holes. Traces of blood inside the car led police to search for wounded members of the band. The driver, who was detained, said he had been kidnaped and forced to operate the machine. Alvaro Fernandez, a street cleaner who was shot down when he tried to prevent the bandits’ flight, died in a hospital. One of the city eme ployes ‘who carried the money was wounded,
