Falange Spokesman
Rejects Restoration
|0 King in Spain
BY the Assecioied Press

MADRID, Mar. l0.-A high
spokesman of the totalitarian Fa-
lange Party has sharply rejected the
idea Of restoring a king in Spain
which has lived under the Republic
can and Franco regimes since 1881
He is Jorge Jordana Fuentes, re-
Gently appointed national adviser on
political formation of the Falange's
Youth Front. His statements appear
In series Of three articles he has
written to appear in the Youth
Fronts weekly "Joventud" (Youth)
The titles Of the three articles:
Monarchy, "Republic?" and
leadership"
Rumors arise periodically In Spain
that Generahssimo Francisco Fran
co, who Is chief Of the Falange
among his other jobs, is about to
bring back the monarchy. Many o1
his first followers in 1896, when he
rose against the republic, joined him
in the belief that he would do Just
that.
Monarchists' Hopes Fade.
Every so often something happens
to give them hope: Franco made
q speech saying that SPANS "tra-
ditional" regime eventually would
have to return; he has permitted
the leading pretender to the
throne, Don Juan, to live In neigh
boring Portugal; he has chosen
Monarchists for important posts.

The republic was proclaimed four
days later.
In reply to the questions why the
restoration Of q king is so much dis
cussed now in Spain, Jordana says:
This is not due to the nature OF
the institution (monarchy) itself. II

Jordana attacks the monarchists
for not having fought to save their
regime In 1881, when the Republic
was proclaimed. They canot base
their demands on the win Of the
people, he says, because:

A Pennsylvania mother of IL
children-an but four of whom
are fully grown-has offered to
sell one of her eyes to the high
est bidder SO that she can give
her younger children proper
food and a good home"
That's the kind of unrealistic,
self-sacrificing nonsense carried
to the utmost extreme-that keeps
a lot of women from meeting life's
problems in a hard-headed, prac-
teal way.
"I'd do ANYTHING for my
kids" such women tell themselves
and go off on wild tangents in
stead of sitting down with the kids
and figuring out a way whereby
the whole family, working to-
gether, can solve its financial
problems.
Undoubtedly this Pennsylvania
family is having a rough time of
it. The father, because of poor
health, cannot work steadily.
There are four younger children
between the ages of 7 and Is.
