STAY OF SENTENCES
AGREEMENT SOUGHT
GOVERNMENT WILLING
(British Official Wireless.) (Received December 1, 11.20 a.m.) RUGBY, November 30. It is stated in official quarters in London that the Spanish Government recently agreed to suspend on a reciprocal basis the execution of death sentences, passed on political and military prisoners. This proposal was also submitted to General Franco's Administration, but was not agreed to. In spite of this, the Spanish Government decided unilaterally to suspend the execution of such sentences until December 1. A report has been received in London from the British Commission for the exchange of prisoners in Spain that prospects for the completion of negotiations for large-scale exchanges of prisoners are very favourable provided no further executions take place in the meantime on either side.
