Atlantic Pact Lease
Of Air Bases in Spain
Reported Favored
BY the Associoted Press

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands,
Mar. 31.-Atlantic Pact military
advisers were reliably reported
today preparing to recommend
letting Spain into the Western
defense system through the back
door.
The military leaders, here for
q meeting with the defense min
listers of the II Atlantic Pact ma.
tions, were said to be favoring
the leasing of air bases from the
Franco government, rather than
SPANS direct membership in the
Western defense alliance.
Reliable sources said the rec
ommendation would be put before
the meetings of the pact nations
foreign ministers beginning in
London May 8.
The majority of the IL nations
were reported by informed sources
here as favoring Spanish partici-
patton in the pact program, with
chief opposition presently coming
from Great Britain. The French
were said to be backing the Brit
tsh to some extent.
Unanimous Consent Needed.
Unanimous consent of the IL
nations is needed before use Of
the Spanish bases can be sought.
Some officials of the United
States State Department also have
opposed bringing Spain into the
Atlantic treaty group. but they
were reported to have modified
their views.
Informed sources here believe
France viii eventually withdraw
her opposition to Spain If the
British Labor government is per-
suaded to abandon its theological
objections.
Backers Of the plan to utilize
Spanish air bases contend these
fields would permit American
strategic bombers to fly shorter
distances with consequent heavier
bomb loads to blast Russian
transport and production CEN
ters in the event Of war with the
Soviets.
Mountain Passes Could Be Blocked.
In addition the mountain passes
connecting Spain with the rest of
Europe could be easily blocked
