Madrid reports Generalissimo Francisco Franco proposed steps toward a limited democratic monarchy. The plan keeps his autocratic grip, excludes political parties, and sets a referendum for December 14. The king would be nominated by the Council of the Realm and Cabinet, subject to Cortes approval, with a premier separate from the head of state.
