GIBRALTAR DISPUTE
Spain Issues Two Notes (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MADRID, January 17. Spain has said that British claims to territorial waters within the Bay of Algeciras could lead to increased restrictions against the inhabitants of Gibraltar, a British Embassy spokesman said last night The spokesman said an embassy official was summoned to the Foreign Office and handed two notes on the Gibraltar dispute. One of these renewed for the first time in several months Spanish allegations that British military aircraft based at Gibraltar had violated her air space. It claimed that 21 violations had occurred between October 20, 1967, and January 5. A second note quoting an eighteenth century treaty rejected Britain’s claim that the two nations had never formally traced out the limits of their territorial waters around the rock.
