Shakeup Gives Hope

The State Department hoped to-

OF its controversial intelligence unit

concerning claims for pensions, the

The Court Of Appeals added that
the remaining question was whether
the father, having received in July,
1865, a discharge from the Army,
is now entitled as matter of right
to invoke the provisions Of the
statute which authorizes the Secre-
tary of War, upon application, to
remove record charge of desertion

using Spanish territory as base OF
operation for their activities and
their plans of reconquest.
DR.. Lange told the Council three
continents are Immediately affect
ed by these activities-Europe, Al
rica and Latin America.
In addition, DR.. Lange pointed out
that Franco was put in power in
Spain by the support of Fascist
Italy and Nazi Germany against
the will of the Spanish people; that
Franco was an active partner OF the
Axis powers in the war.
DR.. Lange quoted frequently from
reports of American Government
agencies. He called attention to a
State Department assertion on April
10 and IL, 1916, to the effect that
about 1900 German scientists, clas-
sified as obnoxious, are in Spain.
The United States, he said, has
asked on numerous occasions that
they be deported. The Fascist gov
ernment has not complied with the
request, but shelters and promotes
the preparation Of Nazis of new
means of welfare DR.. Lange said.
The real intentions of the Franco
government, he said, are revealed by
the fact that decree was issued in
October. 1945, giving the government
control of all areas where there are
presumed to be uranium bearing

clared that his religious convictions
and those of other members of his
delegation would not permit him to
take part in meeting on Good
Friday. The delegates of the United
Kingdom, the United States and the
Netherlands Joined the Brazilian in
opposing a Friday meeting. The
Polish delegate proposed that the
Council meet today and then ad-
journ until Monday or Tuesday.
The new president of the Council,
Hafiz Pasha Afif1 of Egypt, who took
Office yesterday, declared the meet
ing adjourned until 3 pm. today,
leaving the decision of future
meeting to be made later.
The proposal of DR.. Oscar Lange,
Poland's delegate. is that the Coun-
Gil adopt a resolution declaring:
THAT existence of and activities
of the Franco regime in Spain have
led to international friction and en-
dangered international peace and
security.
I'm accordance with authority
vested in it under articles 80 and Al
of the Charter, the Security Council
calls upon all members of the
United Nations who maintain dip
lomatic relations with the Franco
government to sever such relations
Immediately.
The Security Council expresses
its deep sympathy to the Spanish
people 1t hopes and expects that
the people of Spain will regain the
freedom of which they have been
deprived with the aid and contri-
vance of Fascist Italy and Nazi Ger
many. The Security Council is con-
vinced that the day will come soon
when it will be able to welcome the
Spanish nation into the community
of the United Nations"
Poland's Argument.
Poland's demand for severing re-
lations with Spain by all the United
Nations was buttressed by the fol-
lowing declarations: Z"
/. That the Franco regime has
caused state of international fric-
ton by compelling the French re-
public to close her borders with

minerals. There are six uranium
mines, and January, 1945, 4 repre-
sentative Of the Franco government,
Senor G. Garcia, arrived in the
United States to purchase equip
ment necessary to increase produc-
ton of these mines.
"The question has been raised"
DR.. Lange continued, whether
atomic energy projects are actually
in operation in Spain. There seems
to be some indication that at least
an effort is being made in this di-
rection, though some Of the gov
ernments represented at this table
may have more information about
lit than up until now they have
been willing to disclose to the world
public.
This question, however, is q Sec
ondary one. We know that Ger
man science has been working for
years at the development of all
types or means Of warfare. Atomic
energy is but one of them. Perhaps
not even the most important and
the most terrible one. 1t is the
very fact that the German scientists
are permitted and encouraged to
continue their work in this direc-
tion, without challenge or control,
which is. of importance"
The Polish delegate insisted that
Germany in the past had used out
side countries to build her war ma
chine. After the First World War.
he said, Germany began using secret
laboratories in Sweden, Switzerland,
Denmark, Finland, Holland and
Spain.
This historic experience" he
said. should be = warning to all
