NOTED MEXICAN ARTIST
PAINTINGS RETOUCHED PROTEST LEADS TO ARREST MEXICO CITY, Nov. 21. Diego Rivera, the noted Mexican artist, whose murals at the Rockefeller Centre, New York, were ordered to be destroyed by Mr Rockefeller, jun., because they were offensive, was arrested here to-day for similar trouble. Finding his murals in a new hotel retouched without his knowledge, erasing his barbed shafts at officialdom, he entered the building with 20 friends as a protest. The police alleged that Rivera carried five pistols on his person.
