 OF FRANCO GOVT,

The State Department today re- affirmed it's cold shoulder policy toward Generalissimo Francisco Franco of Spain despite a call by Senator Gurney tR-SD) for re- newed friendly relations.
 Press Officer Michael J. McDer- mott sgid there is mo change in our position" when asked about Gurneys visit to Spain last week. Gurney, chairman of the Senate hrmed Services Committee. was ac- companied by Army, Navy and Air Force officers.
 After an hours private talk with Franco, Gurney said he fav- ored complete establishment of all relations" between Spain and the United States.
 His statement probably reflected the feeling of some military lead- CTS that, in view of political con flict with Russia, the United States should straighten out its relations with strategically located Spain.

WINTER STORES
 TO GOLD MINES FLOWN IN BY AGA

Winter supplies for two gold mines in the vicinity of Tulsequah were going in by air today, with Alaska Coastal Airlines carrying the cargo.
 Due to low water level in the Taku River, boats which normally carry in supplies at this time of the year have been unable to do the jcb according to O. F. Ben coke, airlines office manager. Stores of meat and other groceries arrived by B. C. Steamship at Taku Point yesterday. Coastal planes will haul some 30 tons of fresh meat to the mines.
 If water does not rise in the river within the next month or so Benecke said, Coastal may be re- quested to transport an additional 30 tons of general supplies to Tul- sequah.
