Mexico City, May 25 — Three Chinese were lynched early today at Villa Aldama, near Chihuahua City when anti-Chinese committees launched a drive throughout the state of Chihuahua.

The Chinese, Alfonso Yong, Jose Huiegn and Indefonso Fong, reportedly were held as suspects in a criminal attack and slaying of a 13-year-old girl, whose body was found yesterday.

The Chinese were dragged from jail and beaten to death. Police sent from Chihuahua City restored order.

At Chihuahua City, Mexicans with clubs refused to allow Chinese ranchers to enter the city to sell vegetables, while others picketed Chinese stores.
