THESE are some of the things
that the 5000 documents reveal
and yet the only whipping we
give Franco is verbal one. We
suggest that it would be nice if
the people of Spain would get
rid of Franco, but mind you
no violence, please.
In view of the facts we know
about the unholy alliance which
existed between Franco and Hit
Ter, we as a nation have only
one course to follow if we are
to keep our self-respect, if we
are to retain the moral leader
ship of the world: and that
course is to Immediately break
with Franco automatically and
commercially and remove our
heads from the sand of self-de-
fusion and admit that World
War II began in 1886.
Then we can assume the obli-
cations of helping our Spanish
allies who will not then have
to depend on our charity.
OUR State Department and
our War Department know that
Franco worked against us not
only in Europe but in the Pacific
as well.

early in 1941, and three days
after his arrival he was named
openly as head of the Falange in
Manila. His men infiltrated into
all Manila defense organiZa-
tons.
THEN the japanese attacked.
The VIII ole civilian defense,
completely undermined by del
Castano, collapsed. Del Cas-
tano did his work so well that
the Japanese decorated him aft
er the capture of Manila.
He remained in Manila acting
as a finger man for the Japan

All refused, and then Del Cas-
tano arose to say that they were
foolish to refuse and that he
himself had already prepared
such a list. He presented it to
the Japanese general, and event
ually every man a n d woman
whose name was on that list
was executed.
A French diplomat, Henri
Hoppenot, who was present at
that meeting, was afterwards
sent here in a diplomatic ex-
change of prisoners. He told
this story to the State Depart
ment and to the War Depart
ment. When we retook Manila
our troops arrested Del Castano,
but for some strange unfathom-
able reason he was never tried
as a war criminal. Instead he
was put on ship and brought
to San Francisco.
Incidentally, he arrived dur
ing the San Francisco confer
ence just in time, am sure, to
congratulate his Arg en- in
friends and perhaps join them
in their laughter at our Ameri-
can naivete. And then? And
then Del Castano was hurried to
Madrid, and he is there holding
a responsible position in Fran
co.'s government. Spain a neu-
trail country?
The blood of Americans who
died because of the direct or in
direct efforts of Franco must
deny this blasphemy.

Guest Column
By QUENTIN REYNOLDS


TODAY we are helping to
feed the poole of Germany, we
are feeding the people of Japan,
we are feeding our 100000 pris-
oners of war, but we are not
giving a crust of bread to those
who were our first allies, to
those Spaniards who never
stopped fighting.
Our S at e Department still
maintains the fiction that Spain
was technically neutral coun-
try during the war. Oh, occas-
ionally we throw harsh official
words at Franco, but words are
poor weapons to hurl against
one of the worlds most arrogant
dictators.
Franco has a strong armor. He
is armored with his contempt
for us as a nation, and who can
blame him? He has fooled us
from the start and has made us
like it.
OUR State Department con-
dennis him publicly and then
sells him CATS and oil. The
British government condemns
him publicly and then in the six
months following the end of the
war sells him $72, 100000 worth
of trucks and other army We
hicles.
No, you can't blame Franco
for laughing at us and shaking
off the hard words of our gov
eminent the way a duck sheds
water.
Our State Department points
with h ar dly understandable
pride to the White Paper it pub
1ished on Franco and to the fiji
teen documents it contained,
documents which showed the
strong link between Franco and
Hitler.
BUT the State Department ig-
nores the fact that thirteen of
these documents were published
some months ago in Golfers
Weekly and that the remaining
two have been general knowl-
edge for a long, long time.
Why doesn't the State Depart
ment publish some of the re-
naming 5000 documents gath
cred by our army and naval
intelligence officers!
If these were published no one
could again affirm that Franco
Spain was ever technically a
neutral nation.
THESE documents give COM
plete proof to the State Depart
ment that: Cd German scientists
developed and tested the vi
and W. bombs in Spain itself
with the full knowledge and CO.
operation of Franco. CD That

BuIgors Get US. Appeal

London, Oct 26. (UP)-A Foreign Office spokesman said Friday that the Soviet member of the AL lied Control Commission for Bull garia yesterday withdrew his pro- hibition of publication in Sofia of American notes about the coming election.
 The U. s. notes had complained that arrangements for Sundays elections did not provide sufficient safeguards to ensure they would be free and unfettered.
 The spokesman said, however, that the Soviet member had de- clined to support proposals by an American member of the commiS- sion designed to guarantee the fairness of the election.
 He said the Russian member re- iterated that such steps would con- stitute interference with Bulgarian internal affairs.
 Suggested measures to ensure free vote were that representatives of opposition parties be permitted at each polling place, that opposi- tion representative help count votes, and that returns be published immediately ito ensure there was no hanky-panky and jumbling Of results"

Manila, Oct. 26- (UP)-Ma1.- Gen. J. G. Christiansen, Western Pacific commander, today urged his officers to show the utmost pos sible leadership in building we'll disciplined American army force in the Philippines.
 Christiansen issued a memoran- dunn to all company and higher unit commanders pointing out the heavy turnover of Army personnel in the Pacific and asking their best efforts in handling the influx of recruits.
 This situation should challenge you to exercise every ounce of lead ership you have" he said.
 Christiansen's action followed by one day the report of Gen. Doug las Macarthur conceding existence of ill-feeling between American soldiers and Filipinos. Macarthur laid the blame on nationalistlc feeling among citizens of the new republic, and on irresponsible ac- tions by some American soldiers.

Hartford, Oct. 26.-GTP)-Only one member from each of the States 169 cities and towns would sit in the State House of Represen- tatives, under a proposal being con- sidered today by the State Legisla- tive Council. At present there are PIP members.
 The suggestion for reducing the size of the lower house was made by the procedure committee of the Legislative Council. A public hear ing on the proposal will be held Tuesday at the State Capitol.
 The committee reported that the House at present is the second largest in the country. To shave it down would improve the quality of debate, permit a reduction in the excessive size of committees, and beneficially effect the legisla- tive product without diminishing the voice of the towns in the af- fairs of the state" the committee claimed.

 Gems Stolen In London
 Thieves Enter
 St. James PoIoce
 For HeirIoomS

London, Oct. 26 - CUP) Jewel thieves, penetrating the royal pre- cincts of St. James Palace, have stolen gems from Sir Piers Legh, master of the Kings Household, and have taken $40,0O0 worth of jewelry from the Marchioness of Harrington, daughter of former U. s. Ambassador Joseph B. Kennedy, it was discolsed today.
 The haul in Brita.ls sensational series of thefts, starting with the disappearance of the Duchess ot Windsor's gems, has reached a pos sible total of $500000 in two weeks.
 Sir Piers Legh for many years was an intimate friend and equarry of the Duke of Windsor, during the for mer kings days as Prince of Wales.
 Family jewels including diamond pieces belonging to Lady Legh were taken from Sir Piers apartment in the palace. Their value was placed at $3,200.
 Guards Watch It Closely
 St. James Palace lies short dis tance off Piccadilly, next door to Dowager Quenn Mary's residence in Marlborough House. The Duke of Windsor made it his headquarters while Prince of Wales A detach- ment of Irish guards in residence three guards it closely.
 The Marchioness of Hartington'S jewels were stolen from her London residence yesterday during her ab- sence, apparently by someone pos- seSSing a skeleton key.
 Two other major thefts reported within the past "A hours were $20,000 in valuables, including jewels and two mink coats from the Bayswater residence of J. Harvey, wealthy business man, and $48,000 in jewels from Mrs. Vivian Van Damn, wife of a theater operator.
 Scotland Yard had it's top opera tiveS at work, trying to smash what appeared to be clever information al gang with headquarters in London.
 The MarchioneSS of Hartington's gems were stolen from her home in fashionable Smith Square, Vest minister. She is a widow. Her hus- band, the son of the Duke of Devon shire, was killed during the war while serving in the British Army. They were married in May, 1914.
 Scotland Yard men believed the thieves had watched her home for some time, planning the theft. They apparently waited until the house was empty The Marchioness had gone to visit her brother-in-laW the present Marquess of Harrington, in Derbyshire.
 Scotland Yard worked on the theory that gang with means of getting information from high social places was at work. The robberieS were believed designed to get the most negotiable thing of value in Europe, where many currencieS are shaky.

LegoIAngIes OfCooI Pact Scrutinized
 Justice Bronch
 To See if Lewis
 Con Call Strike

Washington, Oct. 26 - (UP) - John L. Lewis coal strike threat was the Justice Departments prob lems today.
 If the Department sustains a ur-day-old decision of the h. terior Department, Lewis United Mine Workers may strike in the soft coal fields next Friday. If it reverses that decision, the possible strike deadline would be moved back to Nov. 20
 Presumably at the request of both the Interior Department and the White House, the Justice De- partment was reviewing decision that Lewis could not reopen the wage contract under which the gov ernment has operated the mines since May 29
 Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug had ruled that the contract ran for the duration of Govern ment possession of the mines. Hence he rejected Lewis demand that negotiations for a new agreement DeSlIlHlIlB NOV. l.
 Lewis contended that the con- tract permitted either party to call for negotiations on 10 days notice. If the Government refused to at tend the conference, he said, the contract will be void. Miners will not work without a contract
 The Justice Department must de- eide which interpretation is correct It was believed that the department also was exploring ways of enforc- ing the contract and of testing its decision, if it should uphold Krug.
 One Government attorney believ- ed that the decision could be tested in court by asking for declaratory judgment or by suing to enjoin Lewis from declaring the contract terminated. A decision favorable to the Government might prove the contract still in force but it would nto in itself send the miners back to work
