Spanish Papers React
UnfovorobIy to Remark
BY the Associated Press

MADRID, Feb. 8. - President
Truman's remark that he had
never been well disposed toward
Generalissimo Francisco Frances
regime was prominently displayed
today in Spanish newspapers
They commented on it unfavor-
ably.
The newspaper Madrid said the
Presidents words could not sur
prise anybody. The paper con-
tinued:
"The only (thing) that can be
strange is his obstinacy in Offend
ing a country wherein he has an
Ambassador and which country is
both the friendliest and least bur-
denSome to the Americans among
all the nations needed to form q
military bloc necessary to meet

President Truman's offhand dis
at the Franco regime turned intt
an international incident yester-
day as it was disclosed that the
Spanish Ambassador has lodged
a memo of displeasure with the
State Department.
Whether the tiff would imperi
plans to set up American air and
naval bases on Spanish soil to help
defend Western Europe was not
yet clear.
Mr.. Truman remarked at his
news conference Thursday thai
he had never been very fond OF
the Franco Government. The
State Department disclosed yes
terday it had received a note Fri
day night from Spanish Ambas-
Sador Jose Felix de Lequerica.
The contents of the note were
kept secret American and Spanish
officials said that it was some
thing less than a formal diplo-
matte protest. and the State De-
partment said no reply was
called for.
The incident occurs at time
when the United States is pre-
pairing to send a new mission to
Spain to negotiate on the bases
question.
Apparently worried, retiring
United States Ambassador STAN
ton Griffis said after a conference
Friday with Mr.. Truman that he
was assured the President rec
onizes the need for a military
agreement regardless of his feel
Iings toward the Franco Govern
ment.
