GALES WON'T fight
GIL'S government
Thereby Saves Situation in
Mexico That Was
Growing Acute

Mexico City. Dec. 8 ReA politi-
cal situation which for two days
gave rise to grave worries appeared
today to have been shorn Of its
principal menace through the atti-
tude Of former President Gales in
refusing to oppose the government
Of his successor, Portes Gil.
Decision Of C. r. o. NJ. the Mexi-
can Federation Of Labor, to split
with the government. coupled with
Gales manifest friendship toward
the labor organization. led to the
fear that the former president,
whose following is large, might sup
port the stand Of the labor organi-
cation. This would have involved
Gales and his followers in a dispute
with the present administration and
created a situation Of serious possi-
bilities.
Although the situation apparent
IL had eased somewhat. there was
evidence OF bitter feelings. A noisy
throng outside the national chamber
Of deputies was dispersed by city
firemen who turned a horse on them.
The crowd had been denied admit
tance to the chamber where the sit
uation was being discussed and was
shouting Long live Manrique!
Death to Morones." Louis N. Nor
ones was secretary OF labor Under
President Gales and is president of

Agrarian deputy. ted the attack on
Gales and Morones In the discus
sion In the chamber.
TIL, climax of the situation ap-
narently was reached however when
former President Gales issued for
NAL declaration allaying fears that
he might throw his influence against
the government. He' even went
farther and lauded Portes Gil as
representative Of legality and the
revolutionary ideals and recommend
ed that the army ana the public sup
mort President Portes Gil.
A proof OF his sincerity Gales
announced his resignation from the
presidency of the national revolu-
tionary party and said he was retir-

During Basketball Contests
NO SMOKING IN BUILDING
Police Ordered to Prevent Drinking
and End Of Bulging Pocket Era
Is Expected - Pupils Not Accused
of Drinking.

Bristol, Dec. s - The flashing of
hip pocket TASKS will no longer be
tolerated at high school basketball
games and smoking in any part of
the high school building has also
been placed under the ban. accord
ing to a statement made Friday
afternoon by Samuel Josolowitz. fac
ulty director Of athletics. Policemen
on duty In the gymnasium have re-
ceived instructions to watch for any
infractions of these regulations and
to remove from the building all per-
sons caught violating them.
Last season many bulging hip
pockets were noticeable. particularly
during the dancing which followed
the game. The containers, many of
which were of the plain glass bottle
variety. were found about the
grounds outside the building the
following morning, and the sight
presented to pupils was not an edify-
ing one. For this reason. 1t was
deemed advisable this year to take
drastic steps to discourage dririing
at the games sponsored by the high
school.
In most cases, the wash rooms
we're used by those requiring stim-
ulants and it Is these places which
the officers have been requested to
watch closely. All OF the drinking. II
Is pointed out. is done by adults and
none by pupils attending the school
This year the girls of the school
have been assigned to sell and col
lect tickets and one officer will be
assigned at each game to prevent
the fans from passing the ticket
seller and ticket collector in the
balcony without the necessary paste
board.
