CALLES T0 RETIR TOPRVATELFE Mexico’s “Iron Man” Quits Official Post—To Take Rest on Farm. By the Associated Pres: MEXICO CITY, y 20.—Gen. Plu- tarco Elias Calles, minister of war and former President of Mexico, has re- signed his portfolio and will retire to the Pacific country- side to rest. Some of his time he will devote to the sim- ple farm life of his ranch, near Mex- deo City, exchang- ing, thus, his sword Tor a plowshare. Official announce- ments published to- day said Gen. Calles, Mexico's “iron man,” whose ruthless handling brought a speedy termination to the military revolt from which the nation has just emerged, gave his resignation to President Portes Gil Sat- urday, and would turn over his office to0 Gen. Joaquin Amaro. Gen. Amaro was said to be quite re- covered from the eye injury, received during a game of hand ball, which ne- cessitated his retirement at the out- break of the rebellion. The announcements concluded with & statement Gen. Calles would leave in a few days for Acapulco, Guerrero, on the Pacific Coast, for rest. Gen. Calles. His resignation closed nearly three months of emergency service to the government, which he headed for four years and left last December after the designation of Emilio Portes Gil as Pro- visional President and his successor. The emergency arose during the days of March, when a military revol headed by Gens. Gonzalo Escobar, Simon Aguirre and Francisco Manzo, at one bold stroke, alienated the greate est part of the republic from the gov- ernment of President Portes Gil. Calles, inside of two months, left hardly a ‘vestige of the revolt. Leaders of the revolt and a presiden- tial candidate, Gilbert Valenzuela, had charged that Calles. for all his osten- sible retirement still dictated the poli- cles of the Portes Gil administratios and was virtual dictator of the country ‘They demanded he leave Mexico for- ever.
