CHILE VERY SORE
AT SPAIN'S MOVE

Santiago, Chile, July 17.-(UP)-
Chile may take strong retaliatory
action against Spain as the result
Of the breaking of. of relations by
the Spanish government, 1t was be-
neved today.
The government confirmed receipt
Of a note breaking relations, as the
result Of a long dispute regarding
the fate of 16 Spanish Republican
students who had been sheltered In
the Chilean embassy at Madrid dur
ing the Spanish civil war. Spain
had demanded that the students be
handed over; Chile had firmly re-
fused, pleading the right Of asylum
for them.
The government here said that
Brazi, had been entrusted with han
ding its interests In Spain.
Before the note was received, a
foreign office spokesman had ex-
pressed doubt that the news could
be true. He said that there were
many Spaniards who had prospered
happily in Chile and had been
treated as friends and brothers. But
If Spain did make the break, he
said. the government would take
corresponding measures.
