He and fellow businessmen and shop owners just outside the gales at the american air base Here do not hide their bitterness Over the agreement by the United states Jan. 15 to withdraw a Squadron of Jet fighter planes and reduce the number of airmen stationed at the base. This ii a disaster he said repeatedly staring straight ahead. A s terrible really  but a few blocks away in this town that grew from some 4,000 residents in 1950 to More than 80,000 today Vicente Saenz de Jubera was jubilant. We re just Happy they re leaving said Saenz Secretary general of the Torrejon local of the general workers Union people Here saw the planes and weapons us inc potential enemy and no matter who owned them whether americans the soviets the italians we Are against them being  those opposing views represent feelings that have Cut deeply across Spain for 35 years since a treaty signed Between president Eisenhower and Spanish Dic Tator Francisco Franco introduced the american Mili try presence. This month after 18 months of often healed discussions.

Nevertheless a majority in the town that gives the base its name Are in favor of shutting it Down. Public opinion polls indicate that this sentiment reflects the mood in the rest of the country. Besides opposing a foreign base so close to Madrid spaniards complain of the noise made by the Jet engines. Many Here say they suffer ear and head prob lems. Two recent crashes in one of which a Pilot was killed did nol help matters. The anti american feeling rarely became violent.
