The actor-turned-diplomat an nounced Monday he was stepping down in mid-May as head of the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in the world. But Gavin, 55, gave no hint of his future plans, saying only he would return to the private sector to meet new challenges. The Mexican government said nothing officially about his resigna tion, but newspapers Tuesday had another field day with Gavin, who once said sucli criticism was predic table in his position. A front-page political column in El Universal called Gavin’s resigna tion one of the best news stories that Mexicans have received. The same column also said, “Ar rogant, imprudent and meddlesome in national affairs, the ex-actor is one of the most ghastly ambassa dors” in many years. The leftist La Jornada newspaper said Gavin was roundly criticized for meeting with members of the con servative opposition National Action Party, a move that prompted wide spread charges two years ago that the ambassador was meddling in in ternal affairs. The newspaper added that Gavin had been criticized by government officials, denounced twice as “per sona non grata” in Mexico by the Democratic Journalists Union and that U.S. reporters complained Ga vin requires them to stand when he enters a room. El Financiero, the financial daily, ran a cartoon of a man reading a newspaper with the headline “Gavin Resigns” and saying, “Now, who will follow. Woody Allen or Jerry Le- Gavin has sought to downplay his acting background and preferred to point to his academic background in Latin American studies, his private sector experience and the fact he speaks fluent Spanish. Gavin drew fire after the 1985 kidnap-murder of U.S. Drug En forcement Administration agent of Enrique Camarena Salazar for im plying that corruption went to very high levels of the Mexican govern ment.

As many as one million people jammed the city Saturday night to view Jarre’s American debut, which was held in conjunction with the an nual Houston Festival, the Texas and Houston Sesquicentennial cele brations and the 25th anniversary of NASA. Jarre’s manager, Francis Dreyfus, said Monday that Jarre’s record company, Polygram Records, ad vanced $1.5 million for the show. Another $500,000 was advanced to cover expenses for a movie that was made of the event, which used Houston’s skyscrapers to launch fireworks and reflect laser beams and powerful spotlights. Dreyfus said the money would be recouped through the sale of a new record released by Jarre and a film of the Houston performance, which is expected to be sold for television in as many as 80 countries. The Sat urday show was the most ambitious by Jarre, who has performed similar feats in Paris and China. Houston Festival Foundation President Harry Golemon said the costs were expected to be about $150,000.
