Several rabbis whose names were not disclosed, have joined another investigating committee composed of clergymen of the Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist and other denominations, which left for Mexico City to study the present religious controversy there, a despatch from Mexico to the Catholic news service here states.

The committee is said to have arrived in Mexico. It is reported that the committee has already arranged for interviews with President Calls, members of his Cabinet and high officials of the administration. The committee expects to remain in Mexico two weeks and on returning to the United States will make known the results of its observations.

When the committee arrived at the Mexican border its members were detained by Mexican immigration officials. The members were permitted to enter Mexico following a telegram from President Calles ordering that the party be allowed to enter.
