Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, October 24, 1975 k I I ~ Franco's condition 1975 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER worsens; transfer of powers to begin MADRID, Spain W) - Doctors issued a medical bulletin last night saying that 82-year-old Gen. Francisco Franco suffered a relapse following a heart at- tack two days ago. The statement opened the way for a constitutional transfer of power to the generalissimo's designated h e i r, 37 - year old Prince Juan Carlso de Borbon. The cabinet is expected to start the transfer in motion when it meets today. Juan Carlos and Premier Car- los Arias Navarro rushed to the ailing leader's Pardo Palace 10 FRI. -SAT. $2.50 BRYAN BOWERS miles north of Madrid along with the leader of the Spanish parliament and a group of min- isters. A SPOKESMAN at the palace said Franco was "recovering." He said reports that the head of state was in a coma were "lies," but did not directly re- pudiate the doctors' declaration. Some fo r e i g n diplomatic sources said it was their opin- ion Franco was not critically ill, but that his illness had been exaggerated in a political move to oust him. "The chief of state has suf- fered a relapse and incipient heart failure has appeared," said the brief bulletin from his Ann Arbor Teach-In presents WARREN BEATTY IN THE PARALLAX VIEW "The Parallax View is con- cerned with political assas- sinations and proves that fiction can probe real life horrors to a stronaer point than m o s t partisan docu- mentaries."-Judith Crist Saturday, Oct. 25 7:30 and 9:30 MLB-Aud. 3 11 attending physicians. THE DOCTORS' report was their first since Franco suffered a severe heart attack Tuesday. The bulletin from the semioffi- cial Spanish News Agency made no mention of Franco's chances of survival or recovery. Sources said the relapse was believed toshave occurred some- time Wednesday or early yes- terday. Medical sources had insisted privately that the damage to Franco's heart was more se- vere than the official "acute coronary crisis" would suggest. Franco's aides at the Pardo Palace, however, had depicted the leader as making a rapid --- " recovery, walking about his apartment and watching movies. HIGHLY placed sources said Premier Arias kept his cabinet in session for an unprecedented nine hours lastknight in an at- tempt to block Franco from presiding over the regular Fri- day session. High government sources had said Franco firmly intended to preside and thus display deter. mination to continue his 36 years of authoritarian rule de- spite age, infirmity and press- ing national problems. The medical bulletin indicated Franco would not be at the cabinet session today. The first step in his removal from author- ity would be for a two-thirds majority of the cabinet to in- form the Council of the Realm, the chief advisory body to the head of state, of Franco's un- fitness to serve. THE 19-MEMBER c o u n c i l would need a simple majority vote to pass the information on to the Cortes - Spain's parlia- ment-which then has eight days to declare Prince Juan Carlos Spain's new head of state and first king since 1931. $10 Per Hour for Part-Time Work The jobs exist in the ANN ARBOR area.

S. athletes in the Pan American Games have been kicked and slugged, insulted and spat upon, I hooted and jeered. "We have made known our concern to the head of the Mexi- can organizing committee, but he has not seen fit to take any action," said Col. Don Miller, executive director of the 441-mem- ber American team competing in these hemispheric champion- ships in 19 sports. A NEWSMAN who has covered five of the, six previous Pan Am Games said there has never before been the kind of anti- American attitude which is being expressed in Mexico, including the 1955 Games in Mexico City. He said there had been some resentment and occasional booing, most of it because the United States has always won two and three times as many medals as any other country. Anti-Americanism is rife among Cuban athletes and some Mexican fans at the Games. Cuba has made an all-out effort ' here - both athletically and through attempts to emotionally bother American athletes - to make a good showing and thus embarrass the United States. t "At least part of it is the natural and normal reaction of Mexican sports," said one American who was studied Mexican ' crowds and Mexican people for a decade. "Another part involves the underdog aspect, rooting for the little guy against the big guy." HOWEVER, a number of incidents go beyond that explana- tion. Water polo player Jim Ferguson, of San Jose, Calif., got a black eye and a cut cheek and Eric Lindroth, of Newport Beach, Calif., required 10 stitches to close a split lip after a brawl dur- ing a game with Cuba that left the water stained red. The U.S. coach said none of his players threw a punch. The United States won the game 3-1. Race walker Larry Young of Columbia, Mo., was closing in on the two leading Mexicans when the course of the 20 kilometer walk took the leaders through the University of Mexico. Young said rowdy Mexican students grabbed his shirt, spit on him and held him until the eventual winner and runner-up were well in front. He finished third. Jennifer Chandler of Lincoln, Ala., only 16-years-old, was punished with a roaring cascade of cat-calls, hoots and whistles- the Latin American equivalent of booing - as she started to make the ninth of 10 dives in sprinboard diving. SHE WAS so shaken she had to walk away from the board, returned and made a poor dive. The crowd action was so un- nerving the judges awarded Miss Chandler a rare second chance on the dive. She eventually won, tears streaming down her face. Although this may have been the most bitter example, jeer- ing, hooting and whistling have become commonplace at the in- troduction of and competition by American athletes who tradi- tionally dominate these quadriennial games. In this year's two- week games, the Americans have now more than doubled the medal-total of their nearest rival, Cuba. Canadians have received their share of derisive whistling. Police had to be called to quell a disturbance that reached near- riot proportions when a Cuban athlete received three penalties and was automatically, disqualified in a judo final against a Canadian.
