) N SIGHTS CAPTIVATE MEXICAN YOUTHS Visitors Kept in Trim for Foot Ball Game With Central Friday. Foot bkall or no foot ball, young Mexico has teken Washington. The all-star high school team from | the capital of our nearest Southern | neighbor today stepped out for their last time prior to their game Friday with Central High School at Griffith Stadium. Plans had been laid for the enter- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Mexicans Get Official Greetings * the rare manuscrips housed in the | tainment of the boys, arranged with the idea of keeping them fully in trim for the contest, but young Wash- | ington has stepped in and altered those well-laid plans. Reacting spon- | taneously to the personality of the | boys on the team, high school students of Washington have assumed the | role of hosts to be sure the athletes enjoy their expedition to Washington. Visit National Capitol. Yesterday they missed seeing the| Capitol because they were too inter- ested in the Smithsonian and the National Museum. To make up for | the omisison they were taken to the Capitol first today. There their guides | were Spanish-speaking students of the several high schools under direc- tion of F. T. De Berriz, head of the Spanish department of McKinley High School. After leaving the Capitol they vis- ited the new marble temple of the Supreme Court, again with the group of local students explaining the ins and outs of the tour. The Folger Shakespearean Library was the third stop on the tour today, and there they were greeted by the librarian, who pointed out many of | collection. The boys had also planned to visit | the Zoo, but because of luncheon en- | gagements for a number of them, the | trip was postponed. | Meanwhile, the band was the guest of Gen. Juan F. Azcarate Pino, mili- tary attache of the Mexican Embassy, who escorted it to the Army War College. School Officials Visited. At the same time, Dr. Daniel Cha- vez Gonzales, representative of the Mexican minister of education, called on Washington school officlals to pay | the respects of his government. Capt. Gonzalo Herrera, military aige of President Cardenas, called on Secretary of the Navy Swanson to deliver a personal message from Am- | bassador Josephus Daniels, formerly | & Secretary of the Navy. | Last night the boys were besieged | at their headquarters, the Harringto: Hotel, by a group of new friends the had made in Washington since their arrival Monday. For a short time they held an impromptu dance at the Harringtay, but within a few min- utes the party broke into groups and visited a number of ‘“night spots” popular with the high school crowd. Autos Are Supplied. For thé convenience of the boys and the band, William A.

Jack Pry, packard dealer, also has supplied the group with a new au- tomobile to be used during their visit to Washington. Demand for tickets has indicated a good crowd will be present for the game. Tickets are on sale at all police stations, the downtown hotels, sport- ing goods houses and schools. Tomorrow, the day before the game, the boys will rest. They have been in- vited to see two foot ball games, the first, at 10 o'clock, at Alexandria, and the second, in the afternoon, at Cen- | tral Stadium. Aside from that no ac- tivities are planned.

ROOSEVELT SEES PROSPERITY Says ‘Huge Mail Reflects Cheer, Instead of Grief, Over Nation. By the Assoclated Press. Mrs. Roosevelt sees signs of return- ing prosperity in her huge mail. ! “There was a time when there was| never anything in the mail but sorrow | and grief,” she said at her press con- | ference yesterday. “Things are lighu- ening considerably, and we have had a few letters that are rather exceptional —people tremendously pleased that their homes and businesses have been saved. | “It is, of course, natural to write when needing help, and much less natural to write at other times.” Shopping Trend Encouraging. Mrs. Roosevelt believes also that the Christmas shopping trend is indicative of better times. The crowds she has mingled with, she explained, seem to| be buying in large numbers in medium- priced shops; not so much in places where more luxurious things are sold. Oddly enough, Mrs. Roosevelt said, prosperity statistics appear daily side by side with articles saying that the country is going to the dogs. Defends Homestead Plan. L "8x8.

Nothing of the sort has happened—nor will hap- pen. During the Italian campaign in Libga in 1911—so the story goes at doing so well; they were mostly on the defensive. Under the pressure of public opin- ion, the Italian government sent some flery officers to lead the troops. One very brave officer took command of a sector where the men had been in- trenched for weeks. At the sight of some Arab cavalrymen, the officer jumped out of the trenches with drawn sword and shouted “Avanti, Avanti.” His men did not budge from their comfortable shelter but they all Brava Capitani.” The same thing has happened now to our State Department and its oil Lij Yassu, the former Emperor of World War because of his pro-Turkish sympathies, has been proclaimed offi- cially dead-by the Addis Ababa au- thorities.

Swims Before Writing. Before getting down to the serious werk of speech writing today Mr. Roosevelt enjoyed himself for an hour during the forenoon in the glass-cov- ered pool. He will be joined during the day by James Roosevelt, his eldest son. Mrs. Roosevelt will arrive at the “little White House” in time for the evening meal tonight. They will re- main over the Thanksgiving celebra- tion here and will be present at the Thanksgiving dinner at the Warm Springs Foundation, over which Mr. Roosevelt will preside. The foundation patients drew lots yesterday to occupy seats at the Pres- ident’s table for the Thanksgiving day dinner, but the winner’s names were withheld in canformity with the foun- dation’s policy to minimize publicity which attaches to the drawing. The President last night sat in the front row of the “little theater” and enjoyed a burlesque operetta presented by the Polyo-Politan Opera Company, composed of patients and nurses, en- titled “The Old Maid’s Dilemma.” ‘The President seemed to enjoy the performance and personally congrat- ulated the authors and the performers. Budget Progress Reported. President Roosevelt informed the newspaper correspondents at the bi- weekly press conference yesterday that he had made “very good progress” on his 1936-7 budget. He pointed out that the budget conferences held here dur- ing the last two days were devoted entirely to estimates for the regular establishments of the Government and 2&; n&s Bt:rt had yet been made on Al for em ey ergency and relief Mr. Roosevelt made it plain that with the exception of tge budget estimates for the District of Columbia, the complete details of which he did not have with him here, the estimates for all of the other departments have been completed. He said he would put the finishing touches on the Dis- glcs;mmmm so::z after his return n, e secol iy nd week in According to the estimate given by the President to the press he has suc- ceeded in pruning about $400,000,000 from the original estimates presented by the various departments, Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau and Daniel W. Bell, acting di- rector of the budget, left for Wash- Ington last night. & The President’s conference with the newspaper correspondents here yes- terday was again held in the open, the President sitting behind the wheel in his 4-year-old open touring car as he talked with the members of the press grouped about the car, Lol ) A magazine criticism of the Arthur- dale—Reedsville—subsistence home- | stead project also evoked comment | from Mrs. Roosevelt, who defended the venture of which she has been a prin- cipal supporter. The publication had | said the project ought to be turned | back to the “gumption” of the moun- taineers. Using the word “initiative” instead of “gumption,” Mrs. Roosevelt said that | most of the “standed” population there | hadn't been mountaineers in the first | place, but coal miners who could never | e re-employed.

Before the renewed outbreaks dis- patches said civilian corps of loyal | vigilantes fought seditious Communis- tic soldiers in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Jbattling to put down the last remnants of the sanguinary northeast rebellion. “Red Regime” Set Up. The revolting troops of Rio Grande Do Norte set up a communistic gov- | ernment in the seaport state capital | of Natal, authenticated dispatches | disclosed, but they encountered strong | opposition from quickly organized civilian groups when they attempted to penetrate into the interior.

Capt. Mueller made public his gen- eral report on the four-day-old upris- | ing simultaneously with an announce- ment by acting Gov. Andrade Becerra of Perambuco that calm had been re- stored to that state south of Rio Grande Do Norte. Becerra asserted three insurgent| leaders had been imprisoned in Per- | nambuco—with Rio Grande do Norte, | the region most affected by the revolt. Leaders Captured. | ‘He named Capt.

First off, our hungry bus driver took us over to the Pan-American Union, led by a police escort. There the team was greeted by Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the union. He spoke in Spanish, and those who knew what he said averred it was a very fine greeting indeed. Dr. Rowe then personally escorted the foot ballers and their friends about the building, exhibiting with pride the various rooms and displays. Outside, on the steps, the group posed for photographers with Capt. Gonzalo Herrera, military aide of President Cardenas of Mexico; Dr. Daniel Chavez Gonzalez, representa- tive of the minister of education; Dr. Rowe, Dr. Rafael Fuentes, first sec- retary of the Mexican Embassy and Mr. de Berriz. From there our bus driver and our police escort took us down to the Washington Monument. There was some discussion here as to the num- ber of centimeters in a foot, the num- | ber of feet in a meter and the ratio between a meter and a yard. When everything was settled so the Mexican students could tell in their own language just how high 555 feet is, every one went upstairs to get a good look at Washington. Head For Smithsonian. They liked the panorama and had Government buildings, monuments and other landmarks pointed out by the local students. Finally all were per- suaded to come down out of the clouds and we headed for the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of Natural History. Our bus driver was very hungry indeed by this time and said so. By the time the Mexican football | players had wandered about inside of the museum gazing upon huge skele- tons of extinct mammalia, ancient rock specimens, mounted animals and whatnot for 45 minutes or so, cries, in English and Spanish, of “When do we eat?” were heard from those who first returned to the bus. The bus driver was suspected as the instigator, but it was 1 o'clock anyhow, so we headed back to the players' hotel, saving the Capitol and the | Whit: House for another day.
