Franco Reviews Troops Marking War Anniversary in Rain
In Madrid, Francisco Franco at 73 saluted 18,000 troops and police in a rainy parade marking the 27th anniversary of his Civil War victory. Rumors said he may announce a summer government reorganization. Prince Juan Carlos stood nearby as 85 WWII era planes were washed out, and for the first time missiles were shown including Hawk rockets and a Spanish surface-to-surface rocket. A mountain artillery battery was also displayed.
