S. Soil HILLS BROS COFFEE MEXICO CITT. (P) A general amnesty bill, permitting all political exiles to return to Mexico, has been proposed by the minority - antt-re- electlpnlst party in congress. It has aroused denunciatory com' ment among government party law makers who predict Its defeat If It ever gets beyond the debate stage. Is Sweeping Measure. The bill would drop the bars for both military and civilian political refugees and clear off all charges pending against them. It would af fect a number- of former Mexican leaders In Los Angeles, San Antonio, El Paso, Phoenix and other cities In the southwestern states. A few of these exiles are living off the spoil of their attempts to over throw the government. But most of the former generals, governors and lesser officials who unsuccessfully challenged the federal authority, re working for a living, or looking for Jobs. The antl-relect Ion lata have sought passage of an amnesty law for half a down years. They regard It chances ss slightly improved now because the new president, General Abelardo L. Rodriguez, has declsred himself with out rancor against former rebels. But the president has stated fur ther that while he agrees in principle with political amnesty, he thinks each case should be passed upon Individ ually. See Strength In Merry "Alt of the exiles are Mexicans," the minority party argues, "This Is their country and we should not force them to live abroad. Clemency could not be regarded as Indicating weak ness' in the government nor as a breaking down of revolutionary ideal ism. Rather It would be looked upon as a generous gesture and a patriotic act. "We therefore call upon the gov ernment to forget passion and ex hibit true democracy by offering the hand of friendship to all."
