was expected the men will be land- ed at Brownsville. Three govern ment agents accompanied Gales and his friends.
 It was understood the deportation was ordered by President Cardenas because of recent activities against the government, including the re- cent dynamiting of the Vera Cruz express. The latter was attributed to Gales supporters.
 Reliable sources said nearly 100 men, including soldiers and detec- tives, suddenly invaded the Gales home in the suburb of Anzures at midnight and told Gales he was un- der arrest.
 He was held at his home until ' q. m. when he was taken to the airport with the other three. No one was allowed to leave the house, which was headquarters for the Gales faction, until after Gales had left the airport.
 Three Months After Return
 Gales and Morones were deported just three months and 27 days after their dramatic return together from Los Angeles by plane. Morones was formerly leader of the once-power- full Crom labor organization. Late ly 1t has been agitating extensive ]y in Puebla and Vera Cruz prov irses and has been attacked in con- nection with the railway dynamit- ing.
 Melchor Ortega is former gover- nor of Guanajuato state and has recently been conducting a pro- Gales campaign there. He hao planned to start newspaper ana possibly run for the federal senate.
 Spent Much On Propaganda
 Gales. who is wealthy, had been spending considerable sums lately on propaganda against the govern ment, especially its economic poli- cies.
 Cardenas, however, yielded to the pressure of his advisers to deport Gales only after the Vera Cruz train dynamiting.
 CTS at a manifestation last Decem- Der asked for the busting of Cailes but CardenaS replied that the eov- ernment was strong and not wor- ried about him. The presidential advisers recently have been using every possible argument to con- vince Cardenas he ought deporl Gales. .c,
 The president replied he would do everything possible to have Gales live in Mexico and to have his life protected. Events of the last week, however, caused a change of mind.
 The deportation was not general ly known in the city during the morning and the capital was com pletely quiet.
 Land In Brownsville
 Brownsville, Tex, April 10--CUP) Former President Plutarco Gales of Mexico and three companions arrived here by airplane from Mexico City tl:50 p. m. tE. s. IT. today.
 The four political eXiles were cs- corted by seven Mexican army of- 1icers.
 News men were not permitted to talk with the depoged Mexican strong man" until after he and his companions had been questioned by immigration and customs auth critics.
 Gales companions were Luis Morones, former minister of labor in the Mexican cabinet; Luis Leon, former minister of the interior and agriculture; and Rafael Ortega, former governor of the state of Guanajuato.
 Permission Obtained
 Permission was obtained in ad- vance for the private tri-motored plane bearing the exiles to land here at the American airport, since there is no landing field in Matamoros, the Mexican City across the Rio Grande from Brownsville.
 It was expected that Gales and his companions would charter a plane here and fly to Fort Worth, where they would board a regular passenger plane to California.
 Gales returned to Mexico last December for g "visit with friends" !" as he said then. denying he had any intention of interfering with the policies of President Lazardo Cardenas, his successor.
