Priests Property Rights
- the Associated Press,

- int AoSociAted Press.
MEXICO CITY. July 31.-The
Mexican Supreme Court yesterday
corrected long held popular inter-
probation OF the constitution by
ruling that priests as individuals
have the right in Mexico to acquire
and administer property.
The court said the constitution
denies priests property rights only
in case they acquire or administer
property as representatives OF the
church. 1t also ruled that the SIM
pie fact building houses a Cath
olic school does not subject it un-
der constitutional provisions to be
taken over by the government as
national property.
The constitution provides that
buildings used for ''the administra-
ton, propaganda or teaching of q
religious cult" should be national
l1ed, but the court ruled that schools
where sciences. arts and crafts are
taught even by priests and where
Catholicism enters the teaching only
incidentally do not fall into such a
category.
