The question of who shall be General Franco's successor in not dealt with in the drafts. The Of Succession of 1947 Inli down the procedure on this General Franco Is known to wish to restore the monarchy in the person of Prince Juan Carlos of Bourbon, who is now eighteen years of age,
The drafts propose that the Head of the State #hail

Parliament would continue to be constituted as #t present, that is to say, with RUSTIC 500 members of whom one-third are chosen by the Falange Party, one-third by the Labour Untons and the re- malrider ure Mayors of the principal Spenish towns, Uni- verally Rectors and persons who have rendered outstanding ser- vice to the nation.
