Girl Is Said to Be Brains of Calles Plot
Mexico City August 2 well informed circles pay little attention to the alleged plot on President Calles life. A young city employee and a second woman, aided by four servants, were arrested after a detective posed as a sympathizer emissary. Authorities see no serious plan and suspect a publicity seeking fanatic. The crisis enters a second stage as priests leave churches and labor back government policy. The struggle centers on attrition with the government firm and Catholic opponents pressing demands through economic pressure.
