THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO - CATHOLIGS GLOOMY OVER CALLES PLAN Limiting Priests in Federal District Called Reaffirma- tion of OId Policy. By the Aseoclated Press MEXICO CITY. Qctober 16.—Presi- dent Calles’ new proposal to limit the number of priests and ministers per- mitted to function within the fed- eral district to 90 for each religious group is looked upon by Catholics merely as a reaffirmation of his fre- quently expressed determination to enforce the religious clauses of the constitution. In Catholic circles, where there never has been much serious expect tion that Congress would amend or repeal these religious clauses, the prospects are mnow considered even more gloomy. It is felt. however, that the relig- jous deadlock. which has held since August 1, when Catholie priests with- drew from their churches in protest against the government's regulations will not be altered by the new pre posals, which supplement the orig inal regulations promulgated by President Calles Church Leaders Stand Firm. In the face of this new pro by the Mexican Presid which has been submitted to &'ongress. Catholic leaders today said that they would continue equally firm in their declar ation never to accept the regulations lald down by the government It is generally conceded that con gress is dominated by President Calles As a result of this the general be lef is that congress wi'l not aceeds to the Catholic petition now pending to amend ‘or repeal the religious clauses of the constitution. but prob ably will enact the supplementary regulations limiting the number o priests and ministers within the feder al district Each state is still permitted to fix for jtself the number of priests and ministers allowed to function in them The territories of Lower Californi: and Quintana Roo (Yucatan), would be included under the regulations af fecting the federal district.
