President Echeverría gave instructions for Mr. Arsenio Farrell to attend to them and find a solution to the problem that arose.

FIGHT BETWEEN POLICE IN ETHIOPIA. Addis Ababa. At a police protest rally in the capital of Gondar, gunshots were fired, resulting in several deaths, according to government reports.

The shooting broke out shortly after a police station had set up a protest against the city's judicial system, but the exact cause is unknown. In Addis Ababa, life returned almost to normal with the return to class of almost all university students, who yesterday looted shops and distributed the items among the inhabitants of the poorest neighborhoods. The Ministry of Education warned students who are still sabotaging classes that if they do not return to the classrooms, they will be expelled for the rest of the school year, since more than a month has been wasted and this could not be allowed to continue. , because it was causing unnecessary financial distress in Ethiopia. Those who wish to attend classes will be protected from troublemakers and anyone who attempts to disrupt the courses will be brought to justice. Staff members of Emperor Haile Selassie's troops demanded the immediate removal of some officials and salary increases during a demonstration they held on the grounds surrounding the palace.

DISAGREEMENT DUE TO SCHEDULE CHANGE. The productive sectors of Sinaloa do not agree with the time change that came into effect and stated that this measure should be canceled, which, far from benefiting, affects the development of the economy. The state president of Chambers of Commerce, Carlos Balderrama Verdugo, pointed out that so far, neither society nor the productive apparatus of the entity has received the benefits of this measure implemented by the CFE since 1996. It is necessary that the CFE address the claims of the productive sectors.

POPE CRY FOR PEACE. Vatican. John Paul II appealed to the authorities of Yugoslavia so that a “humanitarian corridor” could be created so that the desperate masses of refugees in Kosovo could receive help. “I feel obliged to make a heartfelt appeal to the Yugoslav authorities.

He expressed dismay at both the Yugoslav violence against Kosovo and the NATO attacks.

Sylva Mónica Ruffo Kelly, who completed her basic and high school studies in Los Mochis, stayed two years in El Centro, California, where she perfected the English language. She joined El Debate in September 1994 as a translator and later, in 2000, she became an assistant editor at El Debate de Los Mochis, tasks that led her to take charge of the entertainment page for more than 10 years and the newspaper archive. Upon the death of the City Chronicler, Don Evaristo Fregoso, in September 2003, who wrote the Los Mochis column 50 and 25 years ago, Ruffo Kelly took over the history column, which he later changed to Mi Ciudad 50 and 25 years, in which he narrates what happened in those years on the same day of publication of the newspaper EL DEBATE of Los Mochis.
