The latest move towards the

made by deputy Fernando Sotelo
Regil Of Campeche who believes
that a law should be passed pro-

Against Cock Fights
In his argument against bull
fighting, Deputy ReFil declares that

continues TO state that II is his in
tentiOn TO bring the measure before
the Chamber Of Deputies so that

Deputy Regil refers to the fact
that the Revolutionary Govern

Report z Towns
Taken By Rebels
Of Guatemala

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 1e%Rl-A
revolt in Guatemala was described
today in advices from the border
stating two towns were in the hands
OF rebels.
Dispatches from Suchiate on the
Guatemalan border said General
Jorge Ubico, one Of three generals
who overthrow the Carlos Herrera
government six years ago. was AZ
the head of the insurgents.
The rebels captured the towns Of
Retslhuleu and MAINTENANCE in the
extreme northwest Of the country.
Communications with the capital
at Guatemala City were cut off. All
traffic over the border was stopped.
General Ubico Is q member Of a
wealthy G%uatemalan family and has
been prominent in the army for
years. After the Carlos Herrera re-
volt he became minister Of war and
one Of his allies. General Orellana,
became president. The other f~eneral
who joined in the revolt, Miguel
Lsrrabe, is now minister Of war and
upon him will probably fall the duty
OF suppressing his erstwhile ally.
