Big IFS Fence Off Spanish Throne From Don Juan, Alfonso's Her
BY NFYLTON BRONNgER

Hx MAkEON WNSUNNBM (NEA Service Stan CeFrespondent)
 Uneasy lies the head which wants to wear a crown. And Don Juan Carlos Teresa SilveriO, third son of the late ex-King Alfonso XIII of Spain, Their" to its non-existent throne, has plenty to/ worry about if he ever expects to wear one.
 He must hurdle c big ''it' in the person of General Franco, another one ia the shape of Spatn's Falan. gist Party, which wants no king, two others named Hitler and Mus solinL He must succeed where his father failed.
 HOW HE BECAME
 ALFONSO'S HEIR
 For a long time after he lost his throne in April, 1881, King Alfonso wandered around Europe like an olive.sktr.ned ghost-living however, very ungf,oSslike on the large for. tune he had been careful to plant outside Spain. He clung to the hope that his penitent people would call him back.
 Last January, he wrote finis to his hopes by formally renouncing the throne and making Prince Juan his heii. The other day, an ailing heart wrote finis to Alfonso himself.
 Twenty.seven-year.old Prince Juan long ago realized he might be next in line for the throne. His late eldest brother, the Prince of the Asturias, was @ "hleeder" who renounced the throne to marry @ Cuban beauty. His next brother, Don Jaime, was deaf and dumb.
 But there's Q big drawback to Prince Juan's acceptance as figure. head king, while Franco really rules the roost. Franco. Hitler and Mus solini have some doubts of his heart being entirely Hispanic. His mother is Princess Ena, a relative of the British royal family. Splitting with her husband, King Alfonso, after the revolution against his reign, she has lived mostly in the England she loves as "home.'
 Don Juan Carlos Teresa Silverio,
 third son-and heir-of tho late
 Alfonso. ex. King of Spain.
 After being exiled Don Juan, too, went to England, joined the British Navy and served on various biz ships. Now on the Admiralty re. serve list, he was not called up, for obvious diplomatic reasons, when Britain declared war on Germany and rtaly.

 ACT AS A FRONT"
