8. Keep an open mind on U. S. policy until Poland's evidence against Spain Is presented.
 The United States and even more so Great Birtain-will con- sider any collective action against Franco Spain as interference in Spanish internal affairs. The only possibility of a change in their at titude depends upon the type of evidence that is presented to the Council against the present Spanish regime.
 Poland, which initiated the Coun- ell charges against Spain, charges that Franco Is encouraging German scientists in Spain in research work on new methods of warfare. The inference is that some of these scientists are working on atomic energy research.
 pr. Fernando De Los Rios, former Spanish Ambassador to the U. s. for the Spanish Republic who just arrived in New York to be an ob- server for the Spanish Republican Government in exile on security Council activities, claims that the Council will receive a most im- portant" document proving Spain's aggressive intentions toward France.
 Rios conferred with the Polish, French and Mexican delegates to the Council last night.
 The Council is in recess for a long "cooling off" period but Is cer- tain to get to the explosive Span ish issue about the middle of next week.
 Today the Council delegates will 20 to Hyde Park, N. r., to partici- pate in the memorial services on the first anniversary of the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Farley Monday
 The next Council meeting is scheduled for Monday afternoon. LIN. Secretary General Trygve Lie announced the provisional agenda for that meeting last night.
 First is consideration of Russia's demand that the Iranian case be deleted from the Council agenda- even beofre Red Army troops are evacuated from Iran. Coupled with this demand Is the Iranian letter asking that the Iranian case be kept under the Councils Jurisdic- ton until May 6-the date when Russia has promised to have cont pleted evacuation of Iran and the date on which both Iran and Russia have been asked to report to the Council on their dispute.
 Second is the Polish charge that Franco Spain endangerS world peace. The Polish Ambassador, OS- car Lange, is preparing a case de- signed to show that the present Spanish regime not only Is hiding Naz war criminals and leaders but is encouraging German scientists while hiding in Spain and under Spanish Government auspices in devis!ng new methods of warfare.
 Rios did not reveal how his most important" document would be pre- sented to the Council. But he did disclose at a press conference that 1t would prove that Spain Is pre- pared to mass 450,000 troops in the Pyrenees Ares of the Franco-Span- ish frontier. He arrived here this week from Paris, the headquarters of the Republican regime in exile to assume his post as observer at the Security Council.
 Regardless of what kind of a case Poland Presents against Spain, the United States seems destined to be embarrassed. President Truman de- fined the U. S. attitude toward the Polish charges against Spain late yesterday by asserting that they were political.
 The State Department would like to see the Spanish case dropped but 1t does not want to be in a position of opposing discussion of the case The U. s. stands firmly on the pol icy that any member of the United Nations can bring any case to the Council which 1t considers a threat to International peace.
