In his message the youthful pres
ident, now in his early thirties, will
lay stress on several of the accom-
plishmentS of his nine months old
administration, which has been
marked by outstanding constructive
endeavors as well as one of the most
turbulent periods in recent Mexican
history.
He will embody in his message the
official report of General Plutarco
Elias Gales on the campaign
against the Escobar rebels in March
and April Of this year, giving his
predecessor in office the Lions
share Of the credit for the rapid de-
feat of that movement. The report
will give official figures on the cas-
ualties and financial losses sus-
tanned during the rebellion and re-
veal other aspects Of the revolution
as yet unpublished.
Church Question Up
Going into another phase Of his
governments activity. the president
will deal with the settlement of the
three year church-state controversy,
announced June 81 in simultaneous
statements by the head Of the gov
ernment and Archbishop Leopoldo
Ruiz Y Flores. papal delegate to
Mexico. He will lay stress on the
Pacification OF the country as a re-
suit of this settlement. which
brought about the end Of guerilla
warfare waged by Cristero bands
over a period Of some IS months,
and will set forth that the country
is at peace. ready to devote itself to
the gigantic task Of reconstruction.
Among other accomplishments OF
his administration. the president
will refer to the cessation Of govern
ment control over the national uni
versity. which was made an auton-
omous institution under joint stu
dent-teacher management by pres
idential decree a few weeks ago.
He will go into detail on the anti
alcohol campaign which he person
ally initiated and which now is be-
ing conducted by a national COM
mittee constituted under his direc-
ton. The campaign. the president
will point out, is based on "persua-
sion" rather than prohibition. the
aim being TO interest the people in
uplifting diversions and productive
occupants and thus wean them
away from the "pulqueria" and the
drink habit.

all the rest of us these last few
DAYS have been thoroughly en-
Toying the most pleasant and
certainly one of the most COM
Portable Atlantic crossings, one
passenger aboard the Graf Zeppe-
lin must have been q decidedly
uncomfortable and diSconsolate
young man.
I mean the stowawayy, lS-year-
old Albert Buhskow. who, with
pocket camera and one mark and
so pfennigs, started out TO see the
world but made the whole trip
shut up in q box-like room, high
I'D in the tail of the ship, and
never saw q thing.
We we're just gliding out OF the
hangar at Friedrichshafen last
Thursday morning when people
on the ground began TO yell. And
there was Buhskow running along
the TOP of the Graf right along
her backbone, which was only
about six or eight inches wide.
One false step and he'd have
come right down through the fab
ric. It was dark. too. He couldn't
see very well.
He had dropped down from a
rope dangling from the top Of the
hangar. He ran along until he
came to an airshaft. Then he
jumped down. where member Of
the crew found him a few min
utes later.
Yank Him Out
They yanked him out, brought
him down. and then shut him up
in a room about the size Of the
box they kept the gorilla in and
there he stayed for the rest Of
the trip.
