MADRID, Oct. 27..Spain needs a

radical government, according to a

statement by Señor Alvarez, leader of

the Liberal party, who is expected to

lead a Liberal coalition, which is pub¬

present Conservative government can¬

"This confidence was violated, and

Mr. Fisk learned of it. Later, when he

failed to put up the $2,000,000 bond

needed, he appeared before the board

and officially withdrew from the propo¬

sitions."

"The direct result of this action was

the elimination of Fisk from any share

in the $23.000 000 contract, wasn't it?"

asked Chairman James A. Frear.

"Yes," replied the witness. He then

said the contract was signed within

forty-eight hours after Fisk had

dropped out.
