Bolivian Coup Attempt Fails BUENOS AIRES, June 14 (IP) A blazing seven-hour revolt in Bolivia apparently backed by a sizeable segment of the Boliv ian air force was smoshed by the government of President Gualbcrto Villarroel yesterday, leaving an undetermined num ber dead and wounded. Many Bolivian planes and aviators sought asylum today in neighboring Chile and Peru after participating in the unsuccessful coup, staged by a group of young civilians and army offi cers seeking to wrest power from the colonels' clique which put Villarroel in power in a similar coup In December, 1943. It was the third uprising against the present regime. Only scant reports of the re volt came from La Paz itself, where planes attacked police headquarters with bombs and left a yawning bomb crater near the capltol building. A complete ban apparently was imposed on outgoing news at mldafternoon yestcrdny, shortly after the president announced by radio that "reactionary forces" had tried to seize power but had been smothered.

Proposal Dependent Upon Establishment 1 Of World Authority NEW YORK, June 14 (AP) The United States in a hlitorv-maklna oronoune.mon offered today to destroy its own store of atomic bombs and stop manufacturing them if on adequate control of atomic energy if established under a proposed international authority.

Hopes High To Prevent Ship Tie-Up WASHINGTON, June 14 (P) President Truman reported to day that he had been informed there was a good prospect for settling the maritime labor crisis in time to prevent a shipping tie-up tonight. This was related by the pres ident to his news conference, while on Capitol Hill Captain Granville Conway, war ship ping chief, said that Harry Bridges had agreed to accept a wage increase of 22 cents an hour for his CIO longshoremen. In view of this, Conway told a house labor subcommittee in vestigating the scheduled strike of maritime unions at midnight, "it seems reasonable to me that it will be settled" this after noon. Bridges' objection to the 22 cent figure has been one of the biggest and perhaps the last stumbling blocks separating unions and operators and the government from an agreement. Strike 'Over' His decision now to take it, as reported by Conway, con vinced Chairman A. B. Kelly (D-Pa.) of the house groups that the strike was "over." Bridges had given ground bit terly, and even as he brightened the prospects of averting the strike now. he flung a threat of another maritime crisis in little more than three months. He hinted he would take, the 22-cent figure only until Sep tember 30. - Mr. Truman said that the labor department was his source of information about a good prospect for settlement of the controversy before nightfall. Conway told the house group that the only thing left to be worked out was an agreement regarding retroactive pay for the west coast seamen. Red Peril Ebbs From Tsingtao TSINGTAO, June 14 (d The likelihood of a communist at tack on Tsingtao, where some ten thousand or less U. S. ma rines and naval personnel are based, appeared, to be lessening today although American forces were sun on tne aiert. Following orders from com munist headquarters . to new fourth army field commanders to abate the threat on tne nation alist-held Shantung peninsula seaport, the situation has quiet ed around the villages of Hsia Chuang and Liu-Ting, 12 miles north, which control the port's water system. (Admiral Charles M. Cooke Jr., commander of the U. S. sev enth fleet, who briefly visited Tsingtao after conferring with General Marshall at Nanking, returned to Shanghai last night. (Associated Press Correspon dent Spencer Moosa reported sources close to the American admiral said he was not per turbed over the Tsingtao situa tion and under circumstances no decision would be required on the question of reinforcing the present marine garrison or with drawing it. The admiral made no public comment but con ferred with his staff in Shang hai in what aides described as a routine daily meeting.) Yesterday, while tension was still high, marines had prepared outskirt defense positions around the airport and on ridges north of Tsingtao. Russian-Afghan Pact Announced MOSCOW, June 14 VP) A new Russian-Afghanistan treaty announced today allots to Russia the Kushkan area in the northwestern border of Afghan istan bordering Iran. Izvestia said the 1921 treaty on incorporation of the area into Afghanistan had "lost power." The treaty was signed by Foreign Minister V. M. Molo tov and Saultan Ahmed Khan, Afghan ambassador, to revise the frontier in the wild region along the Amu Darya and Py andzh rivers. "This agreement once more shows the attentive respect which the Soviet government pays to the rights and needs of small nations," Izvestia said. r -lie u. s. representative, who played a leading role in this country's victories In both World Wars, laid the United States' atomic cards on the table in his 40-minute address. Baruch Addresses. World lis lost no time In getting down to business, addressing himself to "my fellow citizens of the world," Baruch said the United States "proposes the creation of an international atomic development authority, 10 wnicn snouia rje entrusted an phases of the development and use of atomic energy. , , ." "When an adeouate svstem for control of atomic energy, in cluding the renunciation of the bomb as a weapon, has been agreed upon and put into effec tive operation and condign (suit able) punishments set up for the violations of the rules of con trol which are to be stigmatized as international crimes," Baruch said, "we propose that: "1. Manufacture of atomic bombs shall stop; "2. Existing bombs shall be disposed of pursuant to the terms of the treaty, and "3. The authority shall be in possession of full information as to the know-how for the pro duction of atomic energy." "My country is ready to make its full contribution toward the end we seek, subject of course, to our constitutional processes, and to an adequate system of control becoming fully effective, as we finally work it out," Baruch said. No Veto Possible "It might as well be ad mitted," he continued, "here and now, that the punishment of violations of the peace goes straight to the veto power con tained in the charter of. the J United - Nations so far as i relates to the field of atomic energy. "The charter permits penali zation only by concurrence of each of the five great powers Union of Soviet Socialist Repub lics, the United Kingdom, China, France and the United States. "I want to make it very plain that I am concerned here with the veto power only as it affects this particular problem. There must be no veto to protect those who violate their solemn agree ments not to develop or use atomic energy for destructive purposes." Baruch envisioned control of other weapons of war and per haps of war itself. "If we succeed in finding a suitable way to control atomic weapons," he said, "it is reason able to hope that we may also preclude the use of other weap ons adaptable to mass destruc tion. When a man learns to say 'A' he can, if he chooses, learn the rest of the alphabet, too. Crater Lake Park Opens Tomorrow At 10 a. m. Saturday, Crater Lake park will be open to the public.
