MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT 8. AIXEN WASHINGTON The State department de-partment is keeping it very shush-shush, shush-shush, but it is making an exhaustive ex-haustive investigation of the undercover un-dercover activities of certain Spanish supporters in this country coun-try of rebel General Franco. Under particular scrutiny is Juan de Cardenas, who resigned as ambassador to the United States following the outbreak of the fascist revolt. Cardenas heads & group Of Spaniards who call themselves the "Junta de Defen- sa Nacional." They maintain headquarters in a ritzy New York 'hotel.: and carry on an extensive corfeagondence with American ' fascist elements. Two of Cardenas' chief lieutenants lieuten-ants are Jose de Gregario, former for-mer second secretary of the Spanish Span-ish embassy in Washington, and Manuel Alonzo, Spanish tennis star. Th Junta works in close cooperation co-operation with the "Casa de -Es-pana," another pro-Franco 1 organ -izatioiWv which also has offices in a fashionable New York hotel and displays - the old Spanish monarchist colors as its emblem. Reason for the state department's depart-ment's special interest in Cardenas Car-denas "and his Junta is the fact that they; - proclaim themselves to be the representatives of Franco Fran-co in the United States. What the state department wants to know is . exactly what his representation repre-sentation amounts to. The U S- government does not recognize Franco and his rebel regime. Jt does have official relations re-lations with the Loyalist govern- ment, whose duly accredited ambassador am-bassador is Fernando de los Rios. The United States code provides pro-vides heavy penalties for repre-" repre-" sentinga" foreign government in this country without the authorization authori-zation of the state department.
