Relations between the
United States and Mexico
are continuing a steady
improvement that has
been under way for manv
years, Hector Rangel,
Mexican counsul in Dallas, told
the Rotary Club Thursday.
Help among nations is as es-
sential as help among individ-
uals the speaker pointed out ini
outlining Mexico’s steady pro-
gress during the last 15 years.
‘‘Mexico is advancing tre-
mendously and has changed in-
ternationally and domestically
during this period,” he said.
“We have stood together with
the United States and other
free countries to defend out-
rights and to preserve world
peace.”
Policies Outlined
Rangel pointed out that ma-
chinery and investments from
the United States, Germany,
England and Japan contributed
greatly to Mexico’s rapid pro-
press and that the process also
served to promote internation-
al trade and friendship.
He described friendship,
good understanding and peace
among neighbors as his nation’s
prime general goals in its re-
lations with other countries.
In reply to questions, the
consul expressed his own con-
viction that communism is not
a major threat in Mexico.
“You will not have a wave
of communism in a country
that is 95 per cent Catholic,”
he declared.
Student* Are Student*
He described a recent anti-
American student riot in Mex-
ico City, as reflecting the insta-
bility of students rather than
any genuine feeling against the
United States.
“Students just go crazy be-
cause they do not want to go
to school,” he declared. “They
will take up any kind of alibi.”
The speaker recalled partic-
ipating in a similar escapade
himself when he was in the
university.
Rangel reported the industri-
alization of Mexico and efforts
to improve the lot of the ag-
ricultural population have solv-
ed the unemployment problem
in his country for practical pur-
poses.
Illiteracy Low
Mexico is importing farm
workers from Guatemala while
its own citizens living along the >
northern border come to the i term s work.
United States to work, ho ex-
plained. Illiteracy has been re-
duced to 2 1/2 per cent.

THE MISSILE TRAIN — Sektch shows a multiple Minuteman train on which the Ait-
Force 1CBM is in various stages from horizontal (traveling) to vertical (firing) po-

of places along the country’s thousands of miles of tracks. The Minuteman is a solid-
fueled missile in the development stages. It will have a range of 6,000 miles and is exr
pected to be operational in 1961. (NEA)

The House has voted to
adjourn congress today —
House leaders report that
1 if the S e n a t e agrees.
; the President has told
them he has no further com-
munications for congress. This
may indicate the administra-
tion will not press further for
enactment of the controversial
hill providing authority to cut
sugar purchases from the Do-
minican Republic. There ap-
pears to he a deadlock over the
bill.
The House Agriculture Com-
mittee voted today to reject
the Senate version of the bill.
This stand stirred protests in
the Senate. One GOP senator,
Gordon Allott of Colorado, said
the House had given the Senate
little time or freedom for ac-
tion on sugar. Allott shouted:
“They are holding a gun
against our heads again.”
The House shouted approval
of its adjournment resolution.
There was no record vote.
Both chambers must agree
before any session of congress
can be officially ended.

Twenty minutes earlier nego-
tiators gave up a final effort
to settle the dispute and went
home Another joint session
was not expected to be held
until Saturday, although fed-
eral mediators planned to meet
before then with each side.
Janies Symes, the railroad’s
hoard chairman, accused Mi-
chael Quill, TWU president, of
playing fast and loose with the
public welfare for his own pur-
poses.
As he left the building in
Philadelphia where the nego-
tiators had been held, he issued
a statement inwhieh he said
that “concessions made to avert
the strike (during recent weeks
of negotiations) — are now
withdrawn and we are willing
to settle on the presidential
fact-finding board’s proposal.”
Symes added:
“Apparently Mr. Quill wants
to go down in history as being
the first to shut down the
Pennsylvania Railroad in 114
years.”
Symes said it now is up to
Quill to come to hiip.
Quill joined more than 40
pickets who paraded at the big
