- "OPENBARS' SHOCK * AIMEE MPHERSON Cvangelist, in Paris Several Days, Gives Impressions About French. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 20.—Paris, the so- called médern Babylon, does not appear to be as wicked as represented, Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, Los Angeles evangelist, informs those who inquired today about her impressions. All Pa- ‘slans, she said, seemed to be hard- working. The only thing that mildly shocked Mrs. McPherson was the prevalence of what she termed “open bars” and in- terviewers assumed she meant the cafes. Mrs. McPherson said she planned to stay two or three days in Parls to chow her son the sights. Then she will 5o to Switzerland for a vacation, after which she will conduct an evangelical campaign in England. WANTS PORTO RICO’S STATUS MADE CLEAR Insular Senate President Says TU.-S. Congress Should Define Position. By the Associated Press. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, September 20. —Senator Antonio R. Barcelo, president of the Porto Rican Senate, says in his paper La Democracia today that the insular Legislature ‘should be called to take steps to make clear the position of Porto Rico in its relation to the United States. “For the solution-of+such &.problem we should go to the Congress of the! United States,” Senator * Barcelo de- clared. Last April a letter insisting that Porto Rico was entitled to increase political autonomy was handed to Presi- dent Coolidge \on behalf of Senator Barcelo and Jose Tous Soto, speaker of the Porto Rican House of Representa- tives. It was in reply to President Cool- idge’s letter to Gov. Towner, saying that Porto Ricans were not ready for in- dependence. In reply the Porto Rican legislative leaders limited their claims to an elec- tive governor and to greater legislative freedom. They suggested a compromise by means of a form of government that was neither statehood nor independence, but which participated in both forms, with the advantages of both and without the disadvantages of either.
