ARCHBISHOP NAY ,
 ASSIST IN MEXICO.
BaisIs Appsilh d Rlil
 Stsp Tevud Sstbseat

Washington. June I N-The
 movement toward sstt9onant of the long standing dttersnces between tho Mexican government and the
 Roman Catholic church has been advanced another step by the ap-
 pointment of ArchbisAops$ Ruis. president of the Mexican hishopa conference, to be apostolic delegate in Mexico.
 He is expected to leave for Mexico City within two weeks to begin nc gotiations looking toward restAhlish- ment of the Catholic ecciesiastical organization in that country. at the invitation of President Portes Gil and with the sanction, implied in his appointment, of the Holy See.
 The differences between the church and state in Mexico have ex- tended over . quarter century. Growing out of constitutional pro- viaions looking to their separation. they culminated several years ago in the naturalization of church prop crty throughout the republic. expul- sion of foreign priests and the clos ing of church schools.
 Archbishop Ruiz has expressed his belief that the reestablishment of church services in Mexico is the principal objective to be desired. and he is not expected to take up the question of . revision of the rcpub- lies constitution in the forthcoming negotiations. He is understood to re- gard the question of church property and land, held by the government under that constitution, as secon- dary.
 Since receiving the invitation from tho Mexican president. the arch bishop has conducted a telegraphic poll of Mexican prelates in the United States and Mexico. and re- ceiVed their unanimous endorsement. He then placed the situation before the Pope, whose attitude had been subject of considerable speculation, and his appointment as apostolic delegate followed.

HOUSE GETTING IN SHAPE FOR
 FINAL ACTION
Paves Way for Last Day of Session Calendar Is
 Entirely Cleared

The House today paved the way for quick action on matters in dis pute with the Senate by agreeing to amendments of the latter to several House measures and clear ing up it's calendar entirely at the morning session. It recessed at noon to convene again at 3 pm. when it will be ready to take up any matters that may present themselves.
