Mexico Rejects
Plan To Return
Death Sentence
(U.R)-
MEXICO CITY Nov. 25
The Chamber of Deputies today
rejected by a vote of 75 to 26 a
legislative proposal io restore cap-
ital punishment in Mexico after a
lapse of 25 years.
The measure introduced ih the
lower house several weeks ago
following a series of brutal mas.:
murders which aroused heateo
public agitation for reinstitution of
the death penalty, had been op-
posed by President Manuel Avila
Camacho.
The chamber’s action today pre-j id 1
vented further consideration of Informed Brother
the proposal during the present,
session of congress.
Capital punishment in Mexico
was abolihed by the 1917 consti-
tution.
--o--
tougher than in the p;ast, with
fewer recreational sports like
tennis and golf and more atten-
tion to the contact sports such as
wrestling, hand-to-hand combat
exercises and football.”
H. Jamison Swarts, director of
athletics at Fennsyania, stated:
“We need more expressions like
General MacArthur’s famous
West Point statement: ‘The train-
ing of the athletic field which
produces in a superlative degree
the attributes of fortitude, self-
ccntrol, resolution, courage, men-
tal agility, and of course physical
j development, is one completely
fundamental to an efficient sol-
diery.’ ”
William MacLeod Raine felt
that: “To change the exercise
habits of those over fifty would
do more harm than good.” Man-
uel Komroff suggested: “Medical
examination and advice; diet in-
spection and little ' or no exercise
for those over forty.” J. Albert
De«ir, Jr., Jersey City, suggested
a plausible and workable plan
when he urged: “House-to-house
canvass by police inviting citi-
zens to join exercise classes in
every block.”
