LA PAZ, Bolivia (UP)-Loft-
Ist Vice President Juan Lechin,
spokesman and leader of pro
Communist miners who have
held 21 hostages including four
Americans for a week, bowed to
the threat of federal force Sat
urday and announced the host
ages will be freed "to avoid a
bloodbath."
Federal troops early Saturday
encircled Catavi, where the host
ages are held, and the accom
panying mine site of Siglo Vein
te. The hostages have been held
as pawns for the release of two
Communist labor leaders.
Radio Report
Shortly after Lechin's an
nouncement, a radio station
claiming to be Radio Catavi said
pro-government peasant militia
men from the Cochabama Val
ley had reached Caripuyo and
appeared to be preparing to in
vade Catavi.
It was believed federal troops
surrounding Catavi, however,
would turn back any rural mili
tiamen, whose mobilization ap
parently was not ordered by the
government.
Lechin announced the miners
have accepted the demands of
President Victor Paz Estenssoro
to free the hostages from their
dynamite-mined improvised pris
on. Three-Stage Plan
The three-stage plan called
for by the president provides
in sequence:
Release of the hostages to
an intermediary, probably a Ro
man Catholic priest, to conduct
them out of the mining zone to
freedom.
Withdrawal of federal troops
now encircling the zone.
A government guarantee of
a fair trial for Communist union
chiefs Ircnco Pimcntcl and Fed
erico Escobar.

FBI Arrests Three
In Sinatra Case;
Money Recovered
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The
FBI broke the Frank Sinatra
Jr. kidnap case Saturday with
the arrest of three men, one
the scion of a wealthy family,
on suspicion of the abduction
and recovered all but a frac
tion of the $240,000 ransom.
The trio a housepainler, an
abalone diver and a vacuum
cleaner salesman were seized
by agents moving swiftly and
secretly into three Southern
California cities during a pe
riod of 15 hours culminating ear
ly Saturday.
As of Saturday morning only
$24,000 of the ransom paid by
Frank Sinatra Sr. for his son's
safe return Wednesday after 54
hours captivity was still miss
ing. Later the FBI announced it
had recovered most of the re
maining ransom money.
FBI agent in charge, William
G. Simon, . said an additional
$18,500 of the $240,000 payoff
for the safe return of Frank
Sinatra Jr. last Wednesday was
located, leaving only about $6,
000 to be accounted for.
Simon called a press confer
ence in the fast - breaking case
a short time after Actor Frank
Sinatra Sr. revealed his 19-yoar-
old son had furnished a descrip
tion of the abductors' hideout
which figured in the seizure of
three suspects.

J. Edgar Hoover told him the

T. Mann Named
To Major Post
In Administration
He'll Boss Latin
American Policies
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-dent
Johnson Saturday selected
Thomas Mann, U. S. Ambas
sador to Mexico and a fellow
Texan, to be the overall boss
of his Latin American policies
and assigned him unprecedent
ed authority.
Johnson announced that
Mann, 51, would, be nominated
as Assistant Secretary of State
for Inter-American Affairs, suc
ceeding Edwin M. Martin. The
latter, the White House said,
would be given a major ambas
sadorial post in Latin America
as previously planned.
Press Secretary Pierre Salin
ger made it plain that Mann
would be given an extraordinar
ily free hand to shake up Latin
American operations.
Salinger Sidesteps
He sidestepped a question
whether the Mann appointment
signified Johnson s dissatisfac
tion over the conduct of Latin
American affairs, particularly
the Alliance for Progress pro
gram.
"I wouldn't make that state
ment," Salinger told a ques
tioner. No mention was made in the
announcement of Teodoro Mos
coso who served under the late
President John F. Kennedy as
U. S. coordinator for the Alli
ance for Progress.
Asked if Moscoso was slated
to co, the White House replied
that Mann would confer on his
new assignment wiui ijumisun,
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
and Foreign Aid Director David
E. Bell.
It was the first significant ad
ministrative change announced
by Johnson since he succeeded
assassinated President John F.
Kennedy on Nov. 22. .
Broad Assignment
The White House made clear
that Mann would have a broad
assignment covering economic,
military and political aspects of
U. S. policy in the western
hemisphere.
"It's the President's intention
to place Ambassador Mann in
charge of the over-all policy
co-ordination of all aspects of
Latin American policy under
the direction of the President
and the Secretary of State,"
the announcement said.
Mann, a native of Waco,
Texas, conferred with President
Johnson late Saturday on his
new assignment.
Senate Democratic whip Hu
bert H. Humphrey, also joined
the discussion.

Further U.S. action such as

If sustained by the House and

cut represented the biggest dot
