Spain Says Gem Franco Aided Allies LONDON. March 7 UP) Spain, fighting back against the movement abroad for replace ment of the Franco regime, maintained today that her gov crnment aided the allied powers during the war by preventing axis domination of the Mediter ranean, North Africa and the Near East. "Hitler planned to enter Spain January 10, 1941. We saw the intention of the two dictators to incorporate Spain into the axis and so to dominate the Mediterranean, and with it North . Africa . and the Near East," the Madrid radio said Franca Lauded "The one who prevented thl carrying out of these ambitious plans was neither Great Britain . nor tile umiea states or Amer . lea. The one who prevented it was General Francisco Franco," the broadcast declared. "Spain did not want to enter . and did not enter tne war, in . spite of all the coercion of the axis powers, with their troops on our frontiers, ready to break . in and march down on uiorai' . tar." Yesterday's Spanish order , barring all French nationals from SDain and her possessions '. a retaliatory step against the French action last week in clos ing the French-Spanish border to commerce, was regarded . calmlv in Paris. French government circles . said the restriction did not ' "chanee the situation at all,' , since all intercourse between . the two countries had been sev ered effectively by the border closing. Last night's Madrid broad . cast, citing letters between . Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus- ; solini, denied that Spain offered to enter the war on the axis . side, as the U. S. state depart . ment has charged. Allied lead ers, including Winston Church . ill. were Quoted as acknowledg- : ing that "the attitude of Spain , contributed not small pan to ; the frustration of the plans of : tne axis. No Direct Rafaranc i" The broadcast did not make ; direct reference to the state de- '. partment's white book charges . but did say in its opening state ment that certain people had ; brought "scandalous" accusa tions on the basis of "some doc uments." The Spanish government in . exile continued to urge in Paris ; that the allied powers sever all : relations diplomatic and com mercialwith Spain, saying l that such action wai the only - means of forcing Franco from , power. In Oslo, Foreign Minister Hal : vard Lange told parliament that . the Norwegian government was as anxious "as the Norwegian people'' to break with Franco , Spain. H In Bogota, a meeting called ; to urge the Colombian govern ment to break off relations with Spain 'was followed by a two- hour battle in which an unde : term in ed number of persons : were injured as an anti-commu-; nUt group besieged the theatre ' in which the meeting was held.

"A veteran officer" who watched the loading told him that the tank trailers "had failed to perform in the field, and had been discarded on the battle- fronts. The ship sailed for le Shima (west of Okinawa) but never got there. It "finally wound up in Ulithi, under navy control, where we spent 42 days."
