The Paris newspaper French Soir
said Thursday that Generalissimo
Francisco F/anco had been wound
ed slightly in the left shoulder, but
in Madrid a spokesman for the
Spanish foreign ministry denied
that the generalissimo had been
wounded or that an attempt had
been made on his life.
French Soir’s dispatch from Ma
drid said Franco was wounded on
January 9 by a Spanish army colo
nel who fired three shots as the gen
eralissimo walked down the steps
of the palace.
The dispatch added that the colo
nel told the police he “did not want
to kill Franco” but had intended to
fire into the air to protest against
the exiling of Gen. Antonio Aranda
Mata, Spanish monarchist leader.

Jap Cabinet
Ouster Follows
Strike Threat
TOKYO, Friday, Jan. 31— (AP)
Premier Shigeru Yoshida dropped
five of his ministers today as left
wing labor leaders who oppose him
talked of going ahead with tomor
row’s general strike in defiance of
General McArthur.
Yoshida’s cabinet shuffle, which
tightened the conservatives’ hold on
the cabinet, was hardly designed to
satisfy the left wing union bosses,
who are aiming the strike primarily
at his government.
Although union officials insisted
the walkout of 2,400,000 workers
would go off on schedule, most ob
servers believed they would cancel
it at the last minute rather than
risk a disastrous clash with MacAr
thur. Occupations authorities are
expected to take drastic action if
the workers quit.
