...return for the right to establish its bases on Spain's strategic soil, the U.S. has so far given Franco $650 million in military assistance and defense support, another $264 million in economic aid that has helped build dams, factories, highways and housing. Critics have objected that the U.S. has thus bolstered Franco's position over the Spanish people.

Competitors charge that M.C.A. does little to build up stars, gets them by raiding other agencies, even has a vice-president in charge of raiding.
