A broad reorganization of the Spanish Cabinet from which Generalissimo Francisco Franco would withdraw to assume a position of aloofness similar to Chancellor Adolf Hitler and Premier Benito Mussolini was reported imminent last night. Announcement of the Spanish Government reorganization may be made tomorrow, the reports said.

As yet there were no indications that Sr. Serand Suner, Home Minister, had persualicd Gen. Franco to give him leadership in the new Cabinet. Sr. Suner at present is in Italy with high Italian military leaders for a series of conferences.

Persistent rumours have stated that Gen. Franco will withdraw from the actual direction of Spanish affairs as soon as the Cabinet reorganization is completed.—United Press.
