RELIGIOUS WAR
 STILL GOING 0N
No Immediate Relief See6 in
 Mexican Situation !.

Mexico City, April 10 CJP)-The second Holy Week in Mexico City since the religious trouble began cn months ago has passed. yet there IS no visible sign that the difficulty will be settled.
 Mexico is engaged in a struggle to esta bliSh the supremacy of civil government President Gales main tains.
 Strife in Mexico is by no means ended. Since March |, about 500 rebels and hctwcen 30 to 4o federal soldiers, agrarians and members of local defense organizations, have been killed iii battle. according 10 newspaper reports.
 >ix Executed
 In the same period. six persons, including a priest. were executed in San Iotosi because they were charged with open rebellion, Three arms smugSlers are reported to have been executed elsewhere.
 More than 100 Catholics have been arrested in these six weeks, 30 Of them accused of smuggling arms. Five priests were among those ar rested. Most of thcm. merely charged with attending or conduct ing services. have been released. or, in the case of priests, were dcport ed
 Severe measures still arc being taken against rebels in the field be they religious or political rebels.
 There have been two jor hold IDS in the past month. One only q few days ago in which the bandits, demanding money and jcwelry, shouted "Niva Cristo Rey.'
 While the connection between such bandits or rebel activities with the Catholic cause never has been clear, it is now obvious that most groups are using the Catholic cause as pretcxt for bauditry.
 President Gales has given J. W. T. Mason, New York correspondent for the London Daily Express, one of the frankest and most detailed expressions of the Mexican govern mcnt regarding the religious qucs- ton.
 We arc not making an anti-re- ligious campaign the president said. "We are determined, however. that religious bodies will not stir strife"
 Regarding the statement that 50 priests have been executed since the religious question arose. Gales said: Possibly that's right" He added:
 Catholic priests should be denied the right to vote and also lose their right to citizenship the moment they become subject 10 foreign allegiance; that Is. from the moment their all legiancc to the power in Rome ranks in their spirit above allegiance to their country"
 Church Is Rich
 The president pointed out that Mexicans own only one-third the wealth of the country, and of this third the church owns 60 per cent. He said about 100 priests, mostly spanish. had been expelled. Eight bishops because of their part in the rebellion, and six other native bish.

lost MARINE
FINDS SELF
SLOWLY

Jerry Tarbot, the "lost marine .
believes that he is finding himself.
Dim recollections of the past are
crowding into a memory which he
says was blotted out under the
nerve strain of the holocaust CT
war at Belleau Woods, France,
more than 10 years ago.
He is confident that nature win
eventually solve for him a mystery
which has baffled the combined eff
forts of Army and Marine Corps
experts. as well as investigators for
the Veterans Bureau and the De-
pertinent of Justice.
During all the years since the
war he has never given up hope OF
learning his real name, he says.
The name, Jerry Tarbot," was as
Gumed because he had no other.
ETarbot now relieves that at the
beginning of the World War he
worked on a grain ranch near
Cathay, N. ID. So vivid are his
recollections of that employment
Fhat he has informed Representa-
tive Carter (Rl of California, who
has befriended him, that he .Jlans
a trip to North Dakota seeking
identification.
Jerry says that he is sure he
worked on a grain ranch. and left
there with three others to go to
Canada and enlist for the war;" said
Carter. HE now believes that he
went across twice - once I'm the
Canadian army and again in the
American marines after he was re-
turned on account OF wounds.
He says that the owner of the
grain ranch spoke with a marked
Scotch accent. He remembers being.
employed while at blacksmith shop.
in a little town. He also tells Of an
incident where a child of the owner
got his shaving tube and squeezed
out much of the paste before he
caught her.
