Generalissimo Fiancisco Franco has decided to return a king to the throne in Madrid. The mysterious dismissal of Foreign Minister Ramon Serrano Sunor, Franco's brother in law, is the first step in an official plan to re establish a monarchy Ifin Spain. At Franco's direction young Crown Trince Don Juan, son of deposed King A'phonso XIII, is now waiting in Switzerland for tha call. 1 me nrir xo ine inrone Knows he may have to wfcit some time.

From the most important quar ters in Madrid I am able to con jl firm why the recent scuttling of Serrano Suner puts In operation the movement towards a king and (Why the king is needed. The Franco movement has always been Franco never conceived himself as the ultimate Spanish politics, and neither did chief supporters. At the start of the bloody civil war Franco was not a "man of the hour" or the rallying point in the nationalist cause. He wasn't even leader. Franco wai a soldier, a very quiet and successful general But even as an officer he wasn't at the.

Some of them said they knew the land which the Dominion government purchased or the Gimll airport and for which it paid an average of $72 an acre. Those they knew enough to state that no was worth more than $25 an acre on the open market.

The 11th person asked for a valuation put $30 as a maximum, but said he was allowing in this figure what he considered compen aation for forced eviction of the owners. The others said they were not taking this factor Into consideration, and expressed the view that, compensation for eviction should be substantial, but nothing like the figure apparently allowed by the government.

The work was assigned to Joshua Hodgkinson, a member of the firm.

Mr. Hodgkinson spent two weeks on the ground and submitted a report which his firm stated today had not been wholly adopted. The average price paid at Gimll. $72 an acre for 720 acres, was much higher than that pa'd at eithe'r Carberry or Dauphin, where the land expropriated is valued for farm purposes at a much higher figure than at Gimli. ine average price per acre lor; a section lor airport purposes bought at Dauphin was $35.50 and this included $3,150 compensation to a tenant on a quarter section, and more than $5,000 to pay for growing crops on the rest of it.

The only explanation why more money might be paid for lr.nd at Gimll than at Carberry and Dauphin came from Ottawa.
