Spain Frames Reply
10 Accusations in
j. 5. White Book
BY the Associated Press

MADRID, Mar. 16.-The Spanish
Foreign Office. asserting that Spain
remained independent all through
the Spanish civil war and neutral
throughout the European war, an
nounced today a reply has been
framed to the American White
Book which accused the regime OF
Ceneralissimo Francisco Franco OF
having had ties with Hitler and
Mussolini.
The government said a copy OF the
reply, which lodges a complaint
about the manner in which the doc
uments were published, would be
delivered officially through diplo-
matte channels here and would be
made public some time next week.
The reply, reported to run 10000
words, was approved by Franco and
his ministers last night.
Answers White Book.
The Foreign Office said the state
ment would answer the publication
March 4 by the United States State
Department of IS documents cap
tured in Europe, which the White
Book said disclosed Hitler and Mus
solini in 1910 had guaranteed war
supplies IN return for Frances
pledge to place Spain in the struggle
against the Allies.
The Spanish Foreign Office said
only two of the Is documents cited
by the United States actually af-
fected that country, because the
others referred to the years 1910 and
1941, when the United States, like
Spain, was neutral nation"
The Foreign Office note, distri-
buted to the foreign press said:
ut has been communicated to
the foreign press in the diplomatic
information Office that the For
eign Ministry's reply to the pub
LEGATION from the United States
State Department of documents re-
lating to Spain is intended to make
clear the certain fact that Spain
maintained independence at all
times, during the civil war as well as
later in the European war in which
it loyalty fulfilled the duties of neu-
trality.
Form of Publication Hit.
After developing this idea, which
serves as an introduction to the
paper, the latter concerns itself
with various objections of general
character, which include a COM
plant against the publication of the
documents referred to, in the form
in which this was done.
THE paper then concerns itself
with the documents which could af-
feet the United States, which are
only two of those published by the
State Department, since they refer
to the period in which that nation
was at war, and then examines
Spanish relations with that country.
Finally the paper is concerned
with the remainder of the Is docu-
ments published by the State De-
partment-that is, 10 which refer
to the years 1910 and 194l, the Pc
Rod when the United States, like
Spain, was neutral nation"

Infantile Paralysis, searching for means of prevention and cure of poliomyeltiS and improved meth- ods of treatment and care.
 Reduction Here
 Though he said poliomyeltis still remains one of the most unpredict- able diseases, he pointed to the re- duction of polio deaths in Water bury during the past IS years. Local health records indicate that IT deaths occurred from infantile par alysis in 1881, while only 10 deaths resulted from this disease during the 13 years up through i945.
 While 13,00O persons in the coun- try were victims of infantile para lysis in l945, Waterbury was very fortunate, the health officer said, in recording only four eases. He further pointed out that the disease can strike a community at any time, as 1t did in North Carolina in 1884, and contributions received during the current drive will greatly aid in providing quick and effective treat. ment for future victims.

the contributions received locally will remain with the Waterbury chapter to carry on the splendid work of treatment inaugurated dur ing the past few years.
 Year-Round Service
 Year-round services provided by the local chapter in cooperation with local health authorities, in- clude disqualification, transportation, care and treatment of poliomyelitis patients, purchase of respirators (iron lungs), orthopedic appliances and other special equipment, and the payment of fees of doctors, nurses, physical therapistS and other professional personnel.
 Many local polio victims have benefited from money raise d through past polio drives, MT. Col lins, said, since few families are fi- nancially able to meet the tremen- dous cost of disqualification which extends beyond $2,500 annually. Post-hospital treatment, br c es, and many other aids are also provided polio victims, regard less of age, race, creed or color, from the fund, the chairman said.
