(AP Pboto, Channel 12 kit Channel 4-6-8 Kit Dipatrh of Times London MADRID Pablo Picasso snubbed an offer to have his master work Guernica hung in the world famous Prado Museum, informed sources said in Madrid Wednesday.

The sources said the Spanish government raised the ante in its efforts to reclaim the painting, which the modern master personally dedicated to all Spanish youth, and which is now banging in New York. When secret emisaries of the Spanish government first approached Picasso at his home in southern France, they carried an offer to have Guernica become the centerpiece of a brand new J5 million museum of contemporary art now being built in Madrid. BUT AFTER more than two years of trying, the Spanish government did not win the artist's consent Thus, several months ago they offered to give him an even better deal. Through their secret emisaries they told the Spanish artist in exile that his painting would hang in the Prado along with such masters as Greco, Velazquez and Goya. But he has not answered the latest offer after several months.

The sources explained: "He refuses to consider the matter while Franco is still alive, and it looks like it may now be a case of who lasts longer." Gen. Francisco Franco, whom Picasso considers his enemy, is 79, and the artist is 90.
