Mexican Political Spokesman
Backs Cuba's Stand Against US.
By JACK RUTLEDGE

MEXICO CITY, PA congress
sional spokesman for Mexico's
ruling political party says the ma
ton is solidly backing the Cuban
people against the United States.
Senators and deputies gave him
rousing cheers.
President Adolfo Lopez Mateos
was silent on the statement made
by Emilio Sanchez Piedras, chair
man of the Permanent Commits
sion of Congress.
Sources close to the president
said they felt the statement rep
resented the view of spokeS-
man for the legislative branch and
not the executive, which is re-
sponsible for Mexico's foreign
policy under the constitution. But
his speech was billed as an ex-
PLANTATION of the basic policies of
Lopez Mateos' government, and it
seemed most unlikely he would
nave spoken without consulting
top government officials.
Sanchez Piedras told a congress
sional caucus, at appears that
our northern neighbor the United
States is closing the doors of its
friendship and understanding in
the face of the warnings of the
Cuban people to live in liberty
and economic independence"
1--WE, the representatives of the
people of Mexico, repeat to the
Cuban people our same attitude
of solidarity" he continued, land
we wish to tell them that we are
certain that their right to live in
social justice and economic lib
erty will have to prevail in this
continent in the hope Of peace and
reciprocal friendship"

Slap at Adlai StevensOn's
Presidential Aspirations

LOS ANGELES, tR - Demo-

took an angry slap today at the
presidential aspirations of Adlai
Stevenson.
Farley said that Stevenson "is
prepared to accept the nomina-
ton to the presidency apparently
in the belief that it is the duty
of God, the Democratic party and
the American people to force it
upon him."
Farley is a hacker Of Texas
Lyndon Johnson.
ITO paraphrase a current state
ment to send Gov. Stevenson to
negotiate with Mr. Khrushchev is
to send the cabbage patch to the
goat" Farley told a Rotary Club
luncheon,
Il have no doubt Farley for
mer chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, said, That
the convention will select a can
didate who, like Jefferson, Jack
son, Cleveland, Wilson, Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Truman, has per-
Sonal honor enough to admit he
seeks the office instead of insti-
eating futile and unmanly
method of trying to appear as if
that great and majestic office
seeks him"
Farley was campaign manager
for FDR and was Postmaster Cen
eral.

supplies and thousands of new
