Mexico's press reported Almazanismo dying in a flurry of blood and violence and trickery. Four Almazanistas said they had been arrested and tortured by Federal soldiers. More Almazán followers fled out of Rio Verde and San Luis Potosi to avoid persecutions of local caciques. Señora Higinia Cedillo Gonzales, who helped her brother, General Saturnino Cedillo, revolt and tried to do the same for Almazán, was reported kidnapped or murdered. Government men ransacked the house of Almazán's Provisional President General Hector F. Lopez...
Armchair strategists wondered if the Chiapas trouble was a feint to draw Government strength from the North, where Almazanismo is stronger. Watchful President Cardenas sent his stanch supporter, General Jesus Gutierrez Casares, down to Chiapas to find out. General Manuel Avila Camacho, who will succeed General Cardenas as President on Dec.1, postponed his scheduled departure for Washington until the revolt spread or dried...
...insisted that their leader would arrive in the capital by month's end, that he was ready in Mexico for a mysterious "strategy junta." But the Almazan camp in San Antonio was dismally inactive. In Mexico City a band of 500 men & women waving the green flags of Almazanismo tried to rip down a poster proclaiming General Manuel Avila Camacho President-elect of Mexico, was quickly broken up by a squad of motor cycle police. Scattered rebellions in northern Mexico were so insignificant that President Lazaro Cárdenas could tour through the troubled areas all week without danger...
...ideological front General Avila Camacho, President Cárdenas' chosen successor, scored a thumping victory at the expense of Almazanismo. By Government pressure, large-eared, hot-eyed, Communistic little Vicente Lombardo Toledano was squeezed out of the secretaryship of the Government-supporting CTM (Confederation of Mexican Labor), probably to be replaced by non-Communistic Fidel Velásquez. Organizer of the CTM in 1936, nimble-minded Lombardo returned from Russia beating the Stalinist drum, vigorously antiFascist. When Moscow shifted so did he, screaming denunciation of the U. S., President Roosevelt, Great Britain and the Monroe Doctrine without losing...
...widest breach on the heretofore solid front of Almazanismo was opened by none other than President-elect Manuel Avila Camacho. Though he was elected principally through the efforts of Cárdenas' Party of the Mexican Revolution, General Camacho's principles are far to the right of the Party's. Having sensed a swing to the right in Mexican politics, having observed the temper of some of the Rightists, Avila Camacho last week thought the time ripe to enunciate his principles. He announced that he was a good Catholic (the Church has been disestablished since 1859), that...
