Mexican President Installed
MEXICO CITY-(UPI)-Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, a 53-year-old political professional, became Mexico's 70th president today in ceremonies attended by delegates from at least 64 countries.
A crowd of more than 3,000 persons was expected to witness the formal presentation of the sash of office to Diaz Ordaz in the auditorium of the National Palace of Fine Arts.
THE NEW PRESIDENT swept this year's election as the candidate of the Fri party, which has dominated Mexican politics for nearly 50 years.
Diaz Ordaz succeeds Adolfo Lopez Mateos as Mexico's chief executive. The new president's term is to last until Dec. 1, 1970.
Official delegates and other distinguished guests began arriving in Mexico City Friday.
PRESENTATION OF SPECIAL missions to the new president Wednesday morning, a reception by President and Mrs. Diaz Ordzab Wednesday night, receptions by congress and the supreme court Thursday and a gala diplomatic reception late Thursday night round out the inaugral program.
The official program began at noon Saturday, when the delegates called on Foreign Minister Jose Gorostiza and then attended a lunch given by Mexico City Mayor Ernesto P. Urachurtu on the terrace of historic Chapultepec castle, overlooking the capital.
A nationwide hookup of 15 television stations and 450 radio stations was arranged to carry the inaugural ceremonies and attendant festivities to the nation. Relays to the United States were arranged
through Washington, San Antonio,
Los Angeles and New York.
As interior minister, Diaz Ordaz was denounced by the Communists as "pro-Yankee," but during his election campaign he won substantial leftist support.
DIAZ ORDAZ has shown a shrewd ability to maintain his balance on the political tightrope. He is expected to follow the near-centrist policy set by his immediate predecessor.
He entered public service at the age of 21 as a government law clerk.
