Since then all except the Moors have fought each other like cats in a bag. It was evident that Generalissimo Francisco Franco's attempt to keep the peace between these yowling groups was certain to fail. His ambitious brother-in-law Ramón Serrano Suñer, Minister of the Interior, was using his increasing power to build a radical Fascist Spain, an annex to Axis foreign policy. The businessmen, Royalists and officers who wanted neutrality and a return to the good old days got together in another alley and sharpened their claws...
...rights and privileges. Fortnight ago General Gonzalo Queipo de Llano, little "tsar" of Andalusia, and General Juan Yagüe, commander of the Moroccan Army Corps, were dismissed from their posts, presumably because of too ardent opposition to the Fascist notions of the youthful, fiery Ramón Serrano Suñer, Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Minister of the Interior and, next to the Generalissimo, Spain's most powerful figure. Last week the list of Señor Serrano Suñer's opponents grew to include, among others, such military stalwarts as Generals Miguel Aranda, hero...

The smart money is on him to win the current showdown...
Seldom seen in pre-war Spain, but even more conspicuous last week, were the thin, elegant features of Ramón Serrano Suñer, fastest-climbing of Europe's modern politicos. Now 37, a lawyer educated in Italy, Señor Serrano's pre-war claims to distinction were his service as a Catholic deputy in the Cortes, his marriage to handsome Señorita Polo, sister of Señora Franco. His war record included an escape from Madrid's Model Prison, a trip to Germany to be feted by Nazis...
...celebrations ended last week, Ramón Serrano Suñer won his greatest victories to date. Cabinet decree suddenly suspended further public meetings, called up groups of officers who had been demobilized at the end of the war, speeded the Army's reorganization. Forbidden were all gatherings except Catholic religious processions and services. Only with the written permission of Senor Serrano could meetings be held. Only if he agreed could descriptions of such meetings be published. Another blow for independent Generals and Carlists, Senor Serrano's decrees made it plain that the Falangists were winning the peace...
