Earthquake Hits
Mexican Home Of
Morrow 3 Times

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 22.-tFD-Am-
bassador Dwight W. Morrow's earth
quake battered bedroom is being re-
paired again.
The walls and ceiling Of his sleep
ing quarters in the embassy resi-
dence have been cracked three times
this year by earthquakes. Mr.. Nor
row has never been in the bedroom
at the time. After each jolt the re-
pairs have been scarcely completed
when another temblor has reopened
the cracks or caused new ones. The
damage has not been serious or dan
gerous, and other parts Of the m
bassy residence, and the office build
ing, have been cracked even less than
this particular bedroom.
Ambassador Morrow makes light Of
the matter. Friends have commented
that il is rather considerable of Mex
lean earthquakes to occur early in
the evenings, before Mr.. Morrow re-
tires to his bedroom which seems to
have an earthquake hoodoo.
