U.S. To Sign Agreement With Spain

Madrid, Jan, 19.

The United States and Spain are entering an era of close co-operation in all spheres, according to Madrid diplomatic circles. An official agree- ment between the two countries is expected to be signed after the Eisenhower Administration takes over tomorrow.

But American buyers, interested in Spanish goods, particularly strategic minerals, have been flooding the State Department with demands for a trade pact to be signed quickly so that immediate preferential treatment can be given to imports from Spain.

Furthermore, the Chiefs of Staff of bol nations are in close, permanent contact. Air Force General Hoyt Vardenberg and Army General J. Lawton Collins have both recently visited Madrid separately.
