Spanish Republicans
Threat 10 Use Force.
On Franco Given u. n.
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The Sc
curity Councils Subcommittee on
Spain today weighed a challenging
suggestion from Spanish Republic
cans that they and unspecified allies
might seek to overthrow the Franco
regime by force unless the United
Nations act against sFFapco as a
threat to world peace. q
Premier Jose Giral OF the exiled
Spanish Republican leadership in
dicated that the Republicans inside
and outside Spain were ready to
start the fight with ample support
in the event the U. N. refused to in
tervene. ...,
THE Spanish people and the gov
ernment I represent feel we are suf-
f1ciently assisted to consider our
selves capable of overthrowing the
tyranny" Premier Giral told the
subcommittee last evening. 1--WE will
not be lacking in friendly countries
nor aids of every sort.
Violence Only Alternative.
If this supreme hope for
peace which we deposit in the inter-
national society should disappear,
only the roads of violence, to our
regret, would remain open to U.S."
After the second public hearing
of Mr.. Giral and the receipt of
voluminous documents form his
regime the subcommittee decided to
hold two private meetings today.
The subcommittee<newly headed
by Herbert Evatt, Australian foreign
minister-speeded up its schedule in
an effort to meet the Friday dead
line for a report on which the Sc
curity Council hopes to determine
whether, as charged by Poland,
Franco is menace to peace.
Mr.. Giral expressed certainty that
the U. N. could remove any causes
of civil war in Spain.
The United Nations can make the
Franco regime disappear by apply
ing certain articles of the Charter,
especially economic sanctions" he
said. The Polish demand which
launched the investigation calls for
a collective break in diplomatic re-
lations with Madrid.
The Security Council remained in
recess, but was expected to meet
late this week to receive the latest
official word from Iran as to
whether Soviet influence fingers in
Azerbaijan Province, as charged by
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala,
and to receive official confederation
Of reports that all Red Army troops
have evacuated Iran.
The Commission on Human Rights,
headed by Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt, today gave the Economic and
Social Council 13-page summary
Of it's comprehensive preliminary
efforts, which revealed that Russia
had dissented and abstained from
voting: on seven occasions.
Objects to Majority View.
Three times the Russian member
objected to the majority view that
commission and subcommission
members should be chosen on the
basis of expertness in their fields
rather than on national or govern
mental lines. On four other occa-
sions Soviet Delegate Alexander Bo-..
risov excused himself from voting
on the ground Of unfamiliarity With
subjects before. him because of his
late arrival for the series OF 18 COM
mission meetings.
The commission report, footnot-
Ing the Russian objections, pointed
out that Mr.. Borisov replaced Nicolai
Kriukov on May 13, explaining Mr..
Kriukov had attended only as a
Soviet observer, although he had
participated in the discussions and
the voting.
