Nov. 11 — (UP) — Poland touched off a United Nations battle over Franco Spain today with a demand for UN security council measures to force Generalissimo Francisco Franco from power. Poland s Oscar Lange told the UN political committee that Franco had strengthened his hold on Spain and defied the United Nations charter in the 11 months since the general assembly recommended a recall of ambassadors and ministers from Madrid. Lange asked the assembly to call on the security council to consider the Franco question within a month and order economic sanctions or other “appropriate steps” to unseat the Spanish dictator. The Polish proposal was headed for vigorious Angle-American opposition. but it appeared to mean that Poland will take steps itself to place the Franco question before the security council if the full assembly does not do so. As a council member, Poland has that right. Lange submitted his proposal with a blistering attack on Franco, asserting that he was “a guilty party with Hitler and Mussolini"

in the Axis conspiracy against the allies. Since the assembly’s 1946 resolution 11 months have passed. Lange said, and “the Franco regime is still in power and. if anything, has strengthened the legal basis of its power.” Lange charged that an organized “underground" running from Germany, across France and into Spain was sneaking German Nazis into refuge under Franco's government and he said the Madrid regime now had imprisoned more than 106,000 Spaniards solely because they were political opponents of Franco. Lange proposed that the assembly ask the security council to consider within 30 days taking “adequate measures” under the provision of tlu* UN charter which calls for “coußlete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations.” o Rev.

In their final form, they covered three F-ll photo-re-connaissance planes and one huge, plywood flying boat. Also scheduled to testify was retired Lt. Gen. Barney Giles, wartime chief of air staff, who had been summoned at Hughes' request. *

The subcommittee had heard three different versions of the abortive loan transaction — one from Hughes, one from Meyers and one from Neil McCarthy, Los Angeles, who was Hughes’ attorney in 1944 when the incident reportedly occurred. . The Hughes and McCarthy versions jibed on most of the essentials. They said Meyers had tri«d to get a large loan from Hughes during negotiation of the original F-ll contract in 1944. Meyers emphatically denied it in previous testimony. 0 MARSHALL TELLS ' Cnnt f n IIP 1 >. Marshall plan. Addressing a gathering in New York last night, the influential Ohio senator said he favored “reasonable” aid to prevent the spread of Communism. But he said he opposed assistance at a rate that would mean more and more taxes for Americans, more inflation and restoration of price controls. He left a clear impression that he thought $20,000,000,000 was too much. Sen.. Walter F. Gerge, D., Ga„ a high ranking minority member of both the senate finance and foreign relations committees, also warned that foreign aid must not be “purchased” at the price of a regimented domestic economy. | “If we follow that road,” he said, “we will need relief ourselves some day.” All signs indicated that PresiI dent Truman and secretary of state George C. Marshall would have a hard time selling congress on spending the proposed $16,0(J0,000,000 to $20,000,000,000 for long- ! range reconstruction in Europe.
