Worship Freedom Restored In Mexico
MEXICO CITY. March 27 —(U.P) —Freedom of worship was restored to millions of Roman Catholics today as churches continued to reopen throughout Mexico as a consequence of President Lazaro Cardenas’ more lenient view of the religious question.
The changing attitude of the administration was first apparent in the announcement of the ministry of interior on March 18. which said several churches, closed for years, had been permitted to reopen.
Practically all churches in the states of Tabasco. Queretaro, Chihuahua, and Vera Cruz, however, still are closed. It was in these states where the anti-religious drive has been strongest. In Tabasco, churches have been closed for a decade. They have been denied permission to open in Vera Cruz for five years.
Most of the churches now reopened were closed during the time Tomas Garrido Canabal, political “dictator” of Tabasco, served as t£iT of agriculture in Presi-Cardenas' cabinet
Ad Fraternity To Present Blackburn
Gilbert Harrison stood before the U.C.L.A. student executive council yesterday morning, gave affirmative answers to two questions, and heard the council unanimously rescind its action of Wednesday night which deposed him as editor of the Daily Bruin.
First asked the student board: “Will you promise in the event of your reinstatement to present news without color or bias?”
“Certainly,” replied Harrison.
“Secondly,” inquired the board, “will you promise to present both sides of controversial questions on the editorial page, hereafter?" Again Harrison replied affirmatively, and the group without a dissenting vote, he regained the mantle of editorship.
Late Wednesday night by a vote of 8-5, the board had ousted the editor for alleged coloring of the news and suppression of student editorials not in accord with his policy. The staff of the Bruin stuck, necessitating the appointment of a pro-tem editorial board. Refusal of the publications beard to recognize the council’s authority precipitated a crisis yesterday which was solved by Harrison’s cross examination and reinstatement.
Townsend Plan Leader Reveals Income Figures
Clements Tells Estimation Of Small Coin Influx; ‘Picture’ Is Vague
Investigation To Continue
Former Secretary Is Unable To Furnish Definite Financial Report
WASHINGTON, March 27 — fOE) —Robert E. Clements spread out records of the Townsend old age pension organization on a congressional inquiry committee’s table today and estimated that nickles und dimes and quarters were flowing in late last year at a rate which would net a minimum of $2,333,000 annually.
The resigned national secretary of Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd., could not give the house committee definite figures on receipts of national and local Townsend organizations, but his best estimate was for last October, November, and December, when the national headquarters alone received $350,000.
Figures Asked
Pressed for further figures, Clements said receipts of OARP, since its inception January 1, 1934, were $951,964.
The house committee found it difficult to get a clear picture of the Townsend financial operations because of delay in assembly of the complete records.
Clements’ testimony brought out the $350,000 estimated receipts of national headquarters during the last three months of 1935 when the organization was growing rapidly. On the basis of his testimony that 60 per cent goes to national headquarters and 40 per cent to local or “area” groups, that would indicate that income for that period was at the rate of $1,400,000 annually for the OARP and $933,000 for local groups.
Income Varies
However the rate of income has varied greatly since inception of the organization at the beginning of 1934. Clements put total national receipts up to December 31, 1935, at $711,964, but said he could not give a dafinite amount collected so far in 1936. He estimated the income since January 1, 1936 at $180,-000. making a total of $951,964 for national headquarters.
Clements said his income in 1935 was $12,585.
He testified he drew down, exclusive of expenses, a salary of $200 from OARP, Ltd., a California corporation, in 1935. He said that figure was included in his federal income tax returns.
The Townsend Weekly is privately owned and its receipts were not included in Clements’ estimates of organization income.
Committee Counsel James R. Sullivan read into the record copies of quarterly reports of the Townsend movement published in the Townsend Weekly.

Technically it w high treason. But the 150 elderly men and women in the procession were shepherded by six mounted and eight foot policemen through the roar of the noon-day traffic to the square.
There, at the time stained statue of King Charles I, they proclaimed Rupprecht king, and trumpeters borrowed from King Edward's household guards sounded fanfares for them.
The occasion was the annual gesture of the faithful adherents of the Stuart kings.

Bodies of Airplane Victims Recovered
TRENTON. N.J., March 27 — —Gov. Harold G. Hoffman said today that if he had the right to grant Bruno Richard Hauptmann a reprieve he would do so “because I am more firmly convinced than ever that Hauptmann was not given a trial in line with what we consider to be American standards of Justice.’*
In a statement the governor did not say definitely that he would reprieve Hauptmann again.
It was a reply to angry accusations made by Prosecutor Hauck. Referring sarcastically to the legal attainments of Hauck, the governor said:
“On January 17, when I granted a reprieve to Hauptmann, exercising a right that had previously been exercisel by many governors, including those of the prosecutor’s own political party, I stated there would be no further reprieve unless the attorney general might agree with me that such a reprieve would be necessary . ..
“If the brilliant Mr. Hauck will advise me that I do have that j right, I shall be glad to exercise i it, because I am more firmly convinced than ever that Hauptmann was not given a trial in line with what we consider to be American standtrds of justice and that the
