Received Nov. 22, 8.20 p.m. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 21. Diego Rivera, the noted Mexican artist, whose murals at the Rockefeller Centre, New York, were ordered to be destroyed by Rockefeller, jnr., because they were offensive, was arrested here to-day for similar trouble. Finding his murals in the new hotel Reforma 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.
