Ensenada, on the Pacific
coast, is a favorite resort With
its beautiful setting, mild cli-
mate, and low prices, Ensenada
has become a mecca for retired
Americans.
Isolated Finger of Lead
Lower California is a gnarled
finger of land 800 miles long
and between 30 and 140 mil**
wide. The Colorado River and
the Gulf of California combine
to isolate it completely from
Mexico proper. An arid climate
and barren terrain have also re-
tarded progress.
Several bays along the penin-
sula’s rugged, ishmd-f ringed
coast are used as calving grounds
by gray whales.
Dr. Paul Dudley White, famed
cardiologist who attends Presi-
dent Eisenhower, has led two Na-
tional Geographic Society-spon-
sored expeditions to Scamraon’s
Lagoon, midway down the Pacif-
ic eeast, in attempts to record
the gray whale’s heartbeat.
Except for the border area,
Baja California is sparsely set-
tled. But in 1950 the government
organized a land - development
program that brought s wave of
colonists to the southern region
and has caused crop outpet to
double each year. Principal pro-
ducts are cotton, alfalfa, and
wheat. In the coastal areas, com-
mercial fishing is rapidly becom-
ing an important industry.
Rich deposits of copper, gold,
silver, mercury, and sulphur are
being mined at an accelerated
pace. Last year the discovery of
oil climaxed an intensive drill-
ing program. Roads to transport
this new mineral and agricaltur-
al wealth to market are being
buQt on a large scale, and recent-
ly the first rail cemaection was
completed between Baja Califor-
nia and th* rast of Mexico.
Missionary Past
Although Spaniards first land-
ed in Baja California in 1118, it
vm net until 1697 that Jesuit
missionaries founded the first
permanent settlement. Eventual-
ly 30 missions were established,
but the Indian population — or-
ginally estimated at 40,000 —
waa all but wiped out by epidem-

Dallas, May 23 (fll—Calls for
federal and state legislation to re-
enforce prohibition statutes came
today from the North Texas con-
ference of the Methodist church
in Dallas.
The churchmen approved two
resolutions with this aim late yes-
terday.
One urges that congress pass
pending legislation which would
prohibit interstate transportation
of liquor advertising material. A
ban on serving alcoholic bever-
ages to airline passenger* it
sought in the other.
