- LOS ANGELES, April 25.—(AP)— More than 800 alien Mexican repatriates said "adios" to friends in the Mexican colony here Wednesday, then boarded a special train for their homes below the border.
They formed the first part of a new movement to eliminate from country charity rolls more than 45,000 indigent alien Mexicans who are residents of Los Angeles district.
Repatriates are being supervised as far as the Mexican border by the county welfare department. After the train is split into two sections at Tucson, Ariz., one section will proceed to Nogales, Ariz., and the other to El Paso, Texas.
At these border cities the train will be met by Mexican officials who will supervise repatriates to their destinations. - History Unfolded Contributor
