FIND PRIEST WHO
HEARD CONFESSION
By G.. F. FINE
(Unitedt Press Staff Correspondent)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.-Hope
that Father Jiminez, to whom Jose
de Leon Toral went to confession
just before he assassinatcd General
Alvaro Obregon might soon be found
was expressed by police today after
Carlos Castro had surrendered.
Castro, Father ,liminez and Man
uel Trcjo, from whom Toral was
said to have obtained the pistol
with which he killed Obrcgon, had
been sought.
The surrender of Castro was con
sidered an important link in the po-
lice investigation. He Ealready had
been charged with connection with
one plot before the assassination of
the Uresident-elect and police be
lieve he knows much of the inside
story of the Staying of the former
president.
Toral and Mother Superior Con
cepcion testified that Castro had
manufactured the bombs which Ire
10 exploded in the chamber of depu-
ties several months ago
Father Jiminez and Trejo have
not been seen since the assassina-
ton.
IL was rumored tht latter had cs-
capped to the United States.
Aaron Saenz, former foreign see
retary, has urged the Obrc9on party
to present a united front in "mcct-
ing the critical situation caused by
the removal of MeXico's 5 principal
exponent of revolutionary ideas.
Toral, who is to be given a triad
for the killing of Obregon, probably
will go to trial Aug. Is.

CITY PLANNING REPORTED
AS OLD AS WASHINGTON
Art Is Not New Development
Statement of Chamber of
Commerce Holds.

Although city planning is generally
regarded as a comparatively recent
development. in reality it is as old as
the City Of Washington, which dates
back to the LEnfant plan of 1892.
John Ihlder. manager Of the civic
development of the Chamber of Com
merce OF the United States, said re-
Gently that the recent forward move
n1ent in city planning does not mean
that the art Is new development.
When We say Our present interest
in city planning goes back some Is or
20 years." he said" We do not mean
that city planning in America began
only 20 years ago. George Washing
tons determination 10 have an ade-
quste plan for the Federal City which
bears his name, was not due to theory
but TO experience with the capital Of
his State. with the temporary capital Of
the nation, which he probably contrast
ed with certain unplanned cities.
The plan Of Washington, despite the
ridicule heaped upon it by those who
could not look forward a century, had
its contemporary effect in Buffalo, In
Detroit. But then followed period Of
lack Of vision until some twenty years
ago. when, partly due 10 the World Fair
In Chicago, partly due 10 our increasing
ability 10 criticize ourselves. interest In
city planning had new birth"
