LEFTIST STUDENTS SEIZE
u. OF MEXICO

The Rightist and Leftist strug-
gle, that is gradually making over
the world. appeared in open out
break in Old Mexico yesterday. A
Leftist or socialistic group, which
has been accused of being melted
by Nazi propaganda, seized the
main administration building of
the University of Mexico, which
includes the preparatory school
and the schools of commerce and
law, and stationing themselves on
roof tops with weapons began fir
ing into Rightist groups of stu
dents who valorouslv tried to re-
gain possession of the buildings.
General Saturninno Cedillo, once
a Pancho Villa bandit, broke
away from his estate in San Luis
Potosi in central Mexico and fled
to a mountain stronghold, where,
with an estimated $4,000 troops,
five airplanes and numerous ma
chine guns, he may attack the
Mexican governments army.

FNS).-The National Social Sc
curity Law may be liberaized as
a result of the recent Florida SEN
atorial campaign, it was pointed
out here today by Clayton C. Cod
rington, state welfare commits
sioner.
Four aniehdmehts to- the ACT
were offered, two by Representa-
tive Wilcox and three by Senator
Pepper. zee eeesss aossass
One of the amendments was
sponsored by both of the law-giv-
ers, although introduced separate
ly. 1t would incresae the maxi
mum Individual grant for Old
Age Assistance from $50 per
month to $50 per month in such
states as find matching funds.
Present Florida appropriations
will match but half of the avail
able $50.
Sneator Pepper offered two
other amendments. One would
provide for the matching of state
funds for Aid to Dependent Chill
dren, dollar for dollar, instead of
one dollar for two. The other
would create a new public assist
ance category and provide public
assistance for the permanently
disabled. III
Representative Wilcox is father
to an amendment which would
strike out Of the existing law the
provision that if states should col
lect from the estates of Old-Age
Assistance recipients that half of
the amount so collected should be
returned to the Federal govern
ment. There is no lien clause in
the Federal law, codrington
pointed out.
All of the amendments have
been referred to committees and
if adopted by Congress and APP

make large sums available for
public assistance in those states
that are able to meet Uncle Sam

Called "Cayo Hueso" by the

1t was along the Keys that
Spanish pirates made their rem

New England, New Orleans and
South America. The coral isIets
