Hitler Woos Spain

(May 10 by the United Press)

BERLIN--Negotiations designed to bring Spain into the new Italo-German military alliance, which then would cast its shadow on three of France's frontiers, may result from the Spanish visit of Field Marshal Hermann W. Goering who arrived today in Valencia.

Foreign diplomats believed that Goering would go from Valencia to Madrid and confer with Generalissimo Franco on the prospects of Spain's alignment of her large army with the Rome-Berlin Axis.

The reports that the Nazi-Fascist military pact might soon become a tripower one appeared to some observers to have been strengthened by disclosure today that Hitler and Franco have agreed to negotiate an important trade agreement by which Germany hopes to attain a predominant economic position in reconstructed Spain.
