that no troops will be moved from

according to Times dispatch from
Washington today.
The assurance was given by
Major General G. P. Summerall,
Army chief of staff. The War De-
partment had contemplated moving
battalion Of infantry and tank
corps platoon to Camp Knox, KY,
because of the bad condition of
their barracks at Fl. Harrison.
Fearing this would be the begin
ming of the abandonment of the
fort here. the OptiniStS and Ex-

ment to fight for retention Of the
troops a. FIT. Harrison.
A mass meeting several weeks ago
was attended by several hundred
persons, who protested the proposed
removal.
A committee which had made an
extensive investigation reported it
would cost more to put Camp Knox
barracks in habitable condition than
it would to rehabilitate the barracks
here.

they would endeavor to have the

Temporary repairs will be made

Ex-REP0RTER ON STAND

Spurious Letters Were

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Miguel
Avila. 5O-a-week detective for the
Hearst newspapers. who produced
the documents alleging that the
Mexican government had paid ST.
2l5,00O to four United States SEN
ators for their influence, was pic
tured Tuesday afternoon to the
Senate committee investigating the
charges, as trader in spurious
documents, by Robert H. Murray,
New York representative for the
Bank Of Mexico.
Murray, for seven years the Mex
leo City correspondent of the New
York World, testified under oath
that Avila had tried to sell to Muir
ray a document which he later told
Murray was a forgery, in which it
was alleged that Murray was to en-
gage in propaganda work In the
United States for the Mexican gov
eminent.
Avila later agreed, according to
Murray. to sign an affidavit to this
effect and corrected the document.
but because Murray did not lend
him $500, he did not sign the paper.
State Department Informed
Murray informed the State De-
partment at the time of the forgery
he said, and filed with the COM
mittee copy Of his letter to the
department.
Murray testified that when he
returned to Mexico Feb. z, 1927, he
saw a copy of a document which
purported to be a copy of a New
Years letter from President Gales
Of Mexico to the twenty-eight State
Governors.
The letter after the usual felicita-
tons and observations concerning
economic conditions, discussed Mex
ico's international relations. This
discussion included q severe attack
on then American Ambassador
Sheffield.

Gales would make such an attack

terrified. TT seemed such a bao

false. Gales had not written such
a letter, nor did he even write q

"He is a sort of sleuth, gumshoe

had been sold to the American en-
baSSy, I was told"

Mexico Will Honor Indy
BY G. F. FINE

United Press stan Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 21.-While
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh awaited
the arrival of his mother on her
Christmas visit, the Chamber of
Deputies was trying today to find
means of making him an honorary
citizen of Mexico-the highest pos
sible honor they could accord him.
Senior Ricardo Topete, majority
leader in the Chamber, announced
that effort was being made to find
authority under existing laws to
make the goodwill aerial ambassa-
dor citizen.
Parliamentarians were uncertain,
he said, regarding the course to fol-
low. But they hoped to find a way
similar to that by which the United
States made descendants of Gen.
eral Lafayette American citizens.
Hope for Signal Tribute
1--WE hope that in this way we
can show a signal honor to Lind
bergh-higher than that bestowed
on him by any other country" said
Senior Topete.
Members of the chamber have
not told Lindbergh of the honor
they plan to accord him. They in
tend to say nothing to him until
they have found way to make him
citizen or have obtained the
opinion of authoritative legal ex-
perts on how they can do it.
1t is hoped that the honor can
be conferred on him at a ceremonial
joint session Of parliament before
his departure next week for his
Central American tour.
Few Engagements Ahead
Lindbergh'S program has been
cleared for his mothers visit. Only
few engagements were ahead Of
him.
He was to visit the ministry of
communication in the morning and
to attend banquet by the National
Chamber of Commerce tonight
Lindbergh planned to fly from
Valbuena flying field part of the
way to T'ampico to meet his
mothers plane and escort it to the
Mexican capital. He intended to fly
the Spirit of st. Louis, Which carried
him on his flights from New York
to Paris and from Washington to
Mexico City.
