Bloody Battle Fought ' (Passengers arriving at Lima, Peru, by air from La Paz, mean while described the coup as bloody and added that army plan es had flown from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, to La Paz to aid the rev olution. (The travelers said that groups which remained loyal to Penar anda In two towns had virtually been annihilated hy artillery fire when they refused to support the coup.) (Dispatches from Buencs Aires said the NMIl had often been ac cused of affiliation with Ger manic elements In Bolivia and that one of its chief programs is "geographic reconstruction," a phrase meaning an aggressive de mand for an outlet to the sea, possibly at the expense of Chile or Peru.) Paz Estensoro was accused In 11)41 of being implicated In a plot to establish a Bolivian bridge head for the nazls. He denied the charges and was absolved when they could not be proved. U. 8. EXPECTS TRADE LINK TO HOLD BOLIVIA IN LINE WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 -(AP) - Official Washington watched with Interest, hut without Imme diate comment, the developing situation In Bolivia where Presi dent Penaianda's strongly pro-al lied regime was overthrown to day by the National Revolution nry Movement. Informed sources meanwhile expressed the view that economic considerations would dictate a continuation of Bolivian partici pation in the United Nations war rfiort, notwithstanding the au thoritarian flavor of the party headed by Victor Paz Estenssoro, loader of the coup d'etat. These sources pictured Paz as having very friendly ties In Ar gentina, only western hemisphere nation which has not broken wltn the axis, and said he was In Buen os Aires as recently as two months ago, conferring with Ar gentine leaders. However, it was pointed out the United States and Great Brit ain are the main purchasers of Bolivian tin, and are also good customers In the Bolivian quin ine and rubber market. Bolivia is now a full partner In the United Nations, being at war with Germany. Paz Is known here as a schol arly economist who has led a revolutionary movement consid ered to include many anti-United Slates elements. Butler Cites Prediction Lend-lease aid to Bolivia, It was learned, has not been ex tensive, consisting mainly of about 30 planes and 20 trucks. Senator Butler (R.-Neb.) who recently criticized administration of the U. S. "good neighbor" pol icy In Central and South Ameri ca commented on the news from La Paz: "What Is reported to me today as happening In Bolivia Is exact ly what I predicted might hap pen In several of the Latin Amer ican countries. ' "How can we be certain that our program of cooperation is being carried on with persons who have the support of the na tives themselves? "I don't think we can deny the right of any of these people to select their own rulers the same privilege that we ask for our selves." Feldkamp Quits Council; G. C.
