"You'll

Declares
Franco
MADRID
W
The
Spanish
cabinet,
headed
by
Generalissimo
Francisco
Franco,
last
night
warned
the
United
Nations
general
assembly
that
Us
resolution
against
Spain
was
a
"terrible
precedent
for
future
relations
among
peoples
which
a
majority
of
the
nations
will
&oon
regret."
At
its
regular
Friday
session,
the
cabinet
considered
the
Oeneral
Assembly's
action
this
week
in
adopting
a
resolution
requesting
all
member
countries
to
recall
chiefs
of
their
diplomatic
missions
in
Spain.
The
United
Nations
Assembly
on
Thursday
night
had
passed
34
to
6
a
resolution
recommending
that
all
members
immediately
recall
from
Madrid
their
ambassadors
and
ministers
to
Franco
Spain,
The
long
-
fought
resolution
also
provided
that',
If
the
Franco
regime
remained
in
power,
the
security
council
should
consider
"adequate
measures"
to
remedy
the
situation
and
that
the
present
Spanish
government
should
be
barred
from
membership
in
all
lnterna-tion
agencies

Of

"no

he
reported

Many

themselves

much
