Twice he emphasized that the
best news the country could have

there would be no transportation

"Are you satisfied," a reporter
inquired, "that there will not be
a strike?"
The chief executive said he did
not know, that ho was waiting
and that he hoped to find out
this afternoon.

Meantime the railroad wage
crisis became more acute as lead

employees hefted the strike weap

A subcommittee of the 15 non

nanced organization, for a new
five-year tin contract were sus
pended.) Jose Tamayo, the new foreign
minister, said last night that he
had handed to the dean of the
foreign diplomatic corps In La
Paz an official document an
nouncing the establishment of a
new government and affirming
ltd Intention to continue a policy
of inter-American collaboration.
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."

Frew complained that various
service stations, in washing m
tor vehicles, were pouring dirt
grease and oil Into the streets to
such an extent as to become
serious nuisance. He was in
structed by the mayor to take the
matter up personally with the
station operators, with the under
standing that an ordinance would
be enacted to abate the nuisance
If It became necessary.
A large quantity of Informative
material on building codes was
received from the headquarters
of the League of Oregon Cities,
In response to the request of Fire
Chief Glenn Taylor, and this was
referred to the proper council
committee for study and future
action.

JAP8 CONCENTRATING ON
BOUGAINVILlE ISLAND
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (AP)
Secretary of the Navy Knox re
ported today that the Japanese
apparently are fleeing, from the
southern part of Bougainville In
an obvious effort to concentrate
their forces further north on that
island.
None of the enemy's pnee
strong air fields on Bougainville
is usable now, Knox said. They
are being kept out of action by
constant U. S. bombing.
The evacuation of the southern
part of the island is under way
not only by land but by barges
operating along the coast to car
ry troops to the north. The barg
es have been subject to heavy at
tack. - -
He reported that Japanese air
opposition in the Pacific is "neg
ligible and very weak."

bowl area, capturing the four
main Japanese advanced bases of

Kai-Shek's headquarters announc
ed today. '
The victory, a follow-up to the
smashing at Changteh of a Jap
anese offensive against the im
portant Chinese base and com
munications center of Changsha,
effectively cleared the northern
banks of Lake Tungting. It also
made the position of the Japa
nese forces between the lake and
the Yangtze river extremely pre
carious. An official report also toltl of
the recapture of the Yangtze port
of Chihkiang, 32 miles below
Ichang.
The Japanese suffered a smash
ing defeat on Dec. 19 when they
attacked a 14th army air force
base In western Hunan province,
a communique from Lt. Gen Stil
well's headquarters disclosed.
American fighter planes shot
down six Japanese bombers and
three Zeros, probably shot down
two bombers and five Zeros, and

air force again tried to retaliate.
A few bombers were over various
sections of England, giving Lon
don a half-hour alert. It was an
nounced they had dropped bombs
In southeastern regions, causing
some damage and a number of
casualties.
As a result of the Sunday raids
o n Innsbruck and Augsburg,

Brenner pass was said to have
been forced to a standstill. It was
the first attack from the south
o n Augsburg, important rail

est since the attack on Solingen,
