Rehearsed in Athens
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

cession toiled through the dark
streets OF Athens early today, in sad
rehearsal for the funeral tomorrow

single drum, Greek sailors slowly
tugged a 51s-ton gun carriage

stout manila ropes were 102 Greek

larly harnessed to drag lines in the
rear. The procession continued for
exactly 101 minutes.
The officer In charge said it was
a dress rehearsal for the funeral

Cathedral. A hearse will carry the
body to Tatoi, about Is miles north
of Athens, for burial. The late
King, who died Unexpectedly Tues
day, was born at Tatoi.
Foreign dignitaries were arriving
in Athens from many parts of the
world for the funeral, while a re-
liable source said the passports of
13 of the 16 members of the Soviet
Embassy staff here, including Am
bassador Constantine Rodionov, had
been sent to the Greek Foreign
Ohice for exit visas.
This meant that only a charge
d'affaires, a commercial attache and
a property clerk would remain in
Greece to represent the Russians.
There was no indication as to when
the Russians would leave.
Fighting continued, meanwhile,
between government forces and
Leftist guerrillas on several fronts

Made 10 Spain Over
Ban on Corresponds
~ fhs Assoeiufsd Rfsss

MADRID. April 5.-A American
Charge d.Affaires Philip Bonsal
made representations today to the
Spanish Foreign Ministry concern
ling the withdrawal Of the press
iaccreditaticn OF Francis Mcmahon,
New York Post correspondent.
Mr.. Bonsal said he told . Foreign
Ministry official "our feeling in this
matter and on the treatment OF Mr..
lMcMahon." He added that he ex-
tpected something definite" from
the Foreign Ministry next week.
| Mr.. Mcmahon said he would not
surrender his credentials until he
was informed by the Spanish gov
ernment why the action was taken.
Raymond Huber, chief Of the
Madrid bureau Of the French Press
| Agency, withdrawal OF whose Gre
Identials was announced March 80,
said he, also, was awaiting the result
LOT French protest. He added that
lhe planned to ask an apology for an
'insulting article" published in the
Spanish press on the case.
Reporting to Embassy.
Mr.. Mcmahon, who arrived here
yesterday from Sevilla with VIII
liam Calderhead, former United
States vice consul. told newsmen
last night that he was reporting to
the American Embassy here daily.
The Post correspondent said a
government press representative at
Sevilla had told him that unless he
surrendered the credentials, with
out which he cannot work in this
country as a newspaper man, the
police would be. sent to get them.
Mr.. Mcmahon said he had ap-
praised Paul Tierney, managing
editor OF the New York Post, Of the
situation and that Mr.. Tierney had
instructed him to place himself un-
der the protection Of the United
States flag, because an accident"
might occur.
Defamation Charged.
Tomas Cerro, Spanish press direc-
tor, said earlier that the demand for
the Post correspondents credentials
was the result of a "three-months
campaign Of defamation" by the
writer.
Mr.. Cerro described Mr.. Nc
Mahon's dispatches as 'intolerable"
and said that in one Of them he had
accused Spanish Foreign Minister
Alberto Martin Artajo of dirty
dealings"
II have but one aim In Spain"
Mr.. Mcmahon told reporters last
night. 'To expose the truth about
conditions here. I have not tried
to please the Spanish government
or any one else. II what I have said
is not the truth, the government
should point out the where, the why
and the when"
Cited Lack Of Press Freedom.
II shall be happy to rectify any
misstatement. I have said during
the last three months that there
was no freedom of the press in
Spain. have said that there exists
no democratic freedom of speech I
have said that as regards religion,
even the documents OF the papacy,
like the encyclical against nazi-
ism and the papal defense of democ-
racy, have been suppressed for a
period or published in mutilated
form.
II have likewise said that the
present regime Is totalitarian in
form, basing my assertion in part
upon the speech of the Caudillo
(Francisco Franco) himself deliv-
cred in Burgos in 1896 when Franco
declared that his regime rests upon
a totalitarian basis. Does the Span
ish government want to deny these
facts?"

Spe||man Promotion
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 5.-Tass, the So
Wet news agency, said today "the
U. S. A. is seeking to promote"
the appointment of Francis Cardi-
nal Spellman, Archbishop of New
York, as Vatican secretary of state.
The story did not make clear
whether 1t referred to the United
States Government or United States
Catholics. Before making the state
ment, however, Tass said the Vatican
was economically depedent on
America" because, 1t asserted, 80 per
cent of its income came from the
United States and Canada.
Notwithstanding its economic de-
pendence on America, the Vatican
has continued so far to oppose the
appointment of the American Cardi-
nal Spellman to the post Of Vatican
state secretary fearing lest this ap-
pointment would still further In
crease the dependence of the Vati-
can on the U. S. A., which is seek
ing to promote this appointment, !"
the report said.
VATICAN CITY, April R.-
Vatican sources declared "unfound-
ed" today a Tass report that pres
sure was being exerted on the Holy
See for the appointment of Francis
Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop Of
New York, as papel secretary OF
state.
Therefore, said these sources, cit
was not true that the Holy See was
resisting United States attempts to
promote the appointment OF Car
dinal Spellman as reported by
Tass."
These sources. close to the state
secretariat at the Vatican, said the
Tass report ION its face value was
without foundation"
