Duchess Of Valencia,
Released by Franco,
Has Protective Guard
by the kssoeiassd Pres,

MADRID. Spain. April l6.-The
Duchess Of Valencia, militant pro-
monarchist, is under protective
guard at her home here. She was
released Wednesday after a one
year prison term for high trason.
The beautiful, red-haired duch-
ess said she was escorted home by
guards from a private clinic to
which she was transferred from
Ventas prison January IS. At
that time she was suffering from
appendicitis. an intestinal ailment
and pulmonary congestion. Her
appendix was removed Febru-
ary 18.
The duchess said the guards
stayed to watch her house be-
cause she had received a threaten
ing letter from France informing
her she had been condemned to
death. The letter. which was un-
signed, also threatened Prince
Juan Carlos, eldest son of Spanish
Pretender Don Juan and now a
student here. the duchess said.
Origin of Letter Probed.
She added that Spanish police
went to France for an investiga-
ton of the origin of the letter but
were unsuccessful.
The 33-year-old duchess and a
friend. Jose Pardo Balmonte. were
convicted last December 80 for
monarchist agitation. Balmonte,
who was sentenced to 10 months.
was released February 13. The
court ruled that the time the two
had spent in jail their arrest April
8. 1948, would count on their terms.
The duchess said her stay in
Jail and fine Of more than 1,000.-
900 pesetas ($100,00O for working
for the immediate restoration Of
the monarchy have not changed
her mind.
II intend to resume my activi-
ties as soon as possible after con-
sulting the King in Lisbon" she
said. Don Juan is living in exile
In Portugal.
At Orders of King.
Asked whether she will continue
her outspoken campaign against
the regime Of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Francoo. even If Don Juan
forbids it, the duchess replied:
II am at the orders Of the King.
but I am also at the orders OF
Spain"
She said she was badly created
in prison but was well cared for at
the clinic. although under guard.
The duchess, who is separated
from her husband, plans to leave
soon for her estate near the Portu-
guese border. There she plans to
recuperate further before going
to Lisbon.
