DR.. Gomez Arrives at Ell Paso

at the station to meet DR.. Gomez and
Senior Suarez and conference with Gen.

evening.
On his arrival here DR.. Gomez learn
ed that Senior Francisco Carabajal had
been officially designated to represent

final peace agreement. He paid high
tribute to the character Of the govern
termed the real significance" OF the
selection.
"Senor Carabajal is a fine man." said
DR.. Gomez. land one who Is we'll able,
I think, to represent the government
But any one who has followed the
somewhat turbulent state Of political
affairs in Mexico City recently will OBJ
serve something significant in the ap-
pointment. Senior Carabajal was the
candidate Of the scientific party for
governor of the state Of Tabasco In the
last election, and that party now is re-
President Diaz and his group Of friends.
The appointment perhaps can be taken
as an indication that the political
power of President Diaz is declining"
