UNO May Investigate Nazis In Spain
Council Is
Considering
Franco Bid
Spain May Send
Envoys To State
Her Claims Here
Now York. April 1 -ϊ—Ά Ρ)
—.Members of the United Na
t i. ι Γ .s security council jiuard
cdly studied today an invita
tion from the Spanish cabinet
asking the council to determine
for itself by inspection whether
relugcu German scientists arc
eniiaK·''! in atomic research in
Spain.
Council reaction was immediately
lacking, but one delegation, which
declined to be identified, had mdi
(atoii previously thi.t an invitation
lrom Generalise.mo Franco asking
loi such an investigation would seem
a logical answer tor Spanish leader
to make to Poland's charges.
While there probaDly will be 110
immediate decision on acceptance or
rejection of Franco's invitation, the
possibility arose that Spain might be
permitted to state her case before
tile council.
Spanish sources said Franco might
send a representative to the council,
il asked, on the condition that he be
allowed to speak without taking the
role of a defending nation "on trial."
Some authorities suggested that
the Council, under its elastic powers,
coula calf upon a non-voting, non
member to participate in its own in
terests, il desired, m order that both
sides might be heard.
Similar, i:i ils wide latitude of op
eration.·. the Council could send
members or delegated technicians to
Spain as an investigative body in
the evidence of Poia.ici—and sup
porting arguments expected to be
of erect by Kussia, France and Mex
ico against Spain — indicates that
such action is necessary.
Ί he post-midnight cabinet state
ment in Madrid included the invita
tion in a lull denial of Poland's
charges before the Council that the
Franco regime constituted a menace
to peace because it harbored lugitive
war criminals, Nazi assets and ill
debtor·,, "devising new means ol
warfare."
!he statement said Poland's char
ges were "absolutely and totally
false." and were part of "the con
tinuous attacks by international
communism."
