Police blockaded the plaza with their cars and moved in against the students. They used clubs to disperse the assemblage and made some twenty arrests, according to the special correspondent of the Paris daily Le Figaro.

A few priests were noted among the demonstrators. Certain . sectors of the Church are worried that the rigidity of Franco's regime may contribute to a violent social explosion and they are anxious to exercise a restraining influence on what in Spain are considered to be rebellious and “delinquent™ youth.
