Troubled Times In Store For Bolivia

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Bolivian President Victor Paz Estenssoro won unopposed reelection to a third term in last Sunday’s general elections but the ease of his victory may only signal troubled times ahead. Vice President Juan Lechin, once Paz’s close ally in the ruling National Revolutionary Movement (MNR) and now his bitterest foe, had promised that election day would mark the beginning of a popular movement to overthrow the Paz government. Among Communist • led miners, who supported Lechin, and university student leaders there was open talk of assassination. The reason for Paz’s easy victory lay in the fact that all seven opposition parties, ranging from center - right to extreme left, withdrew from the election and urged their followers to abstain at the polls. Charge Fraud Variously their opposition from charges fraud and resentment against a' 1961 constitutional change reversing a rule that the president could not succeed himself to Lechin’s charges that Paz was selling out Bolivia’s tin mines to the “Yankee trust” and was a “tool of Yankee imperialism.” U. S. Ambassador Douglas Henderson came under fire because he accompanied Paz to a ribbon - cutting ceremony at Oruro, for years a center of Lechin strength in the tin mining country. It was proof, said the opposition, that the United States was attempting to interfere in Bolivian elections by openly supporting Paz. With the election only 48 hours away, Lechin and former President Hernan Siles Zuazo, also a one - time power in the MNR, launched hunger strikes

which also were joined briefly by student leaders. Miners Close Polls In mining districts, electoral registers and ballots were burned and polling places prevented from opening. But when the voting was over, by whatever method of counting, it was clear that Paz had retained his basic support from the campesinos, the peasants to whom he had given land, the businessmen and the army. Even had there been no boycott, Paz’s margin probably mould have been around three to one. Whatever else may be charged against him, Paz is the father of the 1952 revolt. Lechin's 30,000 tough miners helped put Paz in office, and for a time it was said that without Lechin’s support, Paz could do nothing. In recent months that legend has been fading. Lechin fought bitterly against the Paz program called tor the lay '- off of 6,000 miners from the swollen payrolls, and 2,400 of them already have been removed. Kidnap Americans Last December, the miner kidnaped four Americans as hostages for two Communist leaders arrested by the government At the last moment Lechin backed down. Only days before the election Lechin challenged Paz to a duel. Paz shrugged it off. Since 1952, Bolivia has received more than S3OO million in U. S. aid and it still is not a picture of democracy in action, but the United States also is learning that in Latin America democracy does not always grow in the U. S. image. And in the meantime, Paz is giving Bolivia a workable government.

Quartet Os Scubas Lid Is Needed On Suggested By West o . c t Primary Spending

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Ila memorable scene from th* musical “Gypay,” • group of veteran strippers attempt to explain some of the tricks of the trade to a newcomer in their midst. It is not enough, they sing, for a young lady merely to undress upon the stage. To roach the top in this highly competitive field, you gotta have a gimmick. The same thing is true in a number of other fields, Quite notably the rock and roU music field. The ability to produce cacophonic sound will no longer automatically produce stardom. * Patrons of that art are now demanding a gimmick, and I’m afraid the young practitioners in this country are falling behind in this department. They are permitting their counterparts overseas to steal the laurels. Familiar With Success Everyone is familiar with the thunderous success of the Beatles, who conquered both sides of the Atlantic by the simple expedient of combing their hair with a 110-volt wire. Coming along behind them in hot pursuit are such other European marvels as the Eggheads, who have bald pates; the Animals, who are outfitted to resemble wild beasts, and the Undertakers, who undertake to emulate the funeral dress and mien of the professional mortician. ; There is no reason why we in America should sit idly by and let these foreigners overshadow us. We must strive to beat them at their own game. As a starter, I am asking volunteers to come forward and join me in the formation of a sensational new musical group called the Scubas. The letters of scuba, as you know, stand for “self contained underwater breathing apparatus.” Which explains the gimmick. When giving a concert, this group will wear skindiving equipment Plans On Quartet I have in mind a quartet. During vocal numbers we will accompany ourselves on two Spanish guitars, a set of drums and a snorkel. Costuming alone, however, may not be enough to win audiences away from the established favorites. I have therefore devised a second gimmick to increase the Scubas’ appeal. Immediately after the first number we will haul a big glass tank onto the stage and do the rest of toe progam under water. And that still isn’t all. For an encore, toe Scubas will switch to electric guitars and the entire group will be electrocuted. Because of this spectacular finale, the Scubas will necessarily be limited to a one night stand. But if everything goes as planned, it will make the world forget about toe Beatles, Eggheads, Animals and Undertakaw.

Tfflß DHCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DBCATUR. INDIANA

By LYLE C. WILSON United Preu International The states that have grafted the primary system on the machinery for choosing candidates for president of the United States should proceed now to accept all of the responsibility that flows from their experiment in futility. Their further responsibility la to impose and to enforce a reasonable limit on primary campaign expenditures. It also would be a good idea if each primary state limited the campaign period as some colleges limit spring football or fraternity rush week. The need for state action to impose presidential primary ground rules was peculiarly evident four years ago when the Kennedy family bankroll was unfurled and again this year when another enormous family fortune was in play. Cost Means Little From New Hampshire to California the story of the Nelson A. Rockefeller presidential primary campaign has been brightened at intervals with delighted little yips from Rockefeller campaign workers who never bad it so good. One California worker expressed his happy wonderment at being associated in a campaign in which the candidate never needed to ask what it would cost It is not necessary, to buy votes for money to have an unfair impact on any election. Poverty - stricken elections can be unfair. No money passed, for example, in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when Democrats were stealing votes from each other. But the weight of money can influence an election without

You, Your Child " i And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist » Many families will be moving to new homes in the summer months. This raises concerns about toe children who will be changing schools. Parents will find that going to a new school does not present as many problems as they anticipate. Children tend to adjust quickly. Teachers are aware of toe situation and can usually help toe child over the rough spots. Parents can help by visiting the school with the child. Perhaps a meeting with the principal can be arranged. He will be able to answer questions and put everyone’s mind at ease. This should be done as early as possible. Avoid waiting for the first day of school. The following questions are typical of many I have received regarding this problem: QUESTION We are planning to move to a new school district. Our children are in elementary school. They are well adjusted and get along with other children. Should we wait till the end of this school year so that they will start in toe new school in September? A friend has advised that we move before the end of toe year so that the children will have a chance to become acquainted with the children and toe school thus making their adjustment easier in September. We have a choice. Would you please advise us? ANSWER £ Toor triend has a logical suggestion but I feel the change would be better in September. This would allow the children to obtain the full benefit of this year’s work. If they leave before toe end of the school year,

actually paying off the voters. No one doubted in the 1900 presidential . primary season that Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey was brutally handicapped by lack of funds in his primary contests with John F. Kennedy. While the Kennedy candidate and clan flitted about in the family airplane, poor boy Humphrey jounced by bus. This ploy of the sou or grandsons of great fortunes parleying their financial luck into political careers to the disadvantage of poor but honest fellow politicians is gaining on us. That is the kind of an issue that Democrats would be expected to welcome. They should be jumping on it like a hen on a June bug. But they will not do that. Have Done Well It is within the Democratic party of the common man and of toe great voting blocs on toe wrong side of the big city tracks that the rich kids have done their best Rich kids such as FDR, for example, Averell Harriman, Herbert H. Lehman, toe Kennedys and others. If the. Democratic party began hollering foul against bigspending rich kids they might find themselves clobbering one of their own and they wouldn’t want to do that President Johnson could mount a pretty well heeled campaign an y - where any time. The Rockefellers spent a lot of political money this year but it all came from their small change pockets and they won’t miss it. Sen. Barry Goldwater is no pauper either, although against Rocky he undoubtedly felt a money pinch. Nonetheless, a lid should be put on primary spending. It is a job for the states. ——- —

there win be many projects and much work left undone. Teachers plan to summarize and fill gaps in the program during the final weeks. In addition, all students must make new friends and adjust to new classes in September. Why should your children make two adjustments, one in June and another in September? You can help them adjust by visiting the school during the summer or perhaps earlier so that they can meet the principal and see the classrooms. The summer months will also give the children a chance to meet and play with other children in the new neighborhood. QUESTION We are moving in September to a school district where they use the greater Cleveland math program (one of the new math programs). Our child is now in first grade and has only had traditional math. He has not had * any difficulty this year. Should we hire a tutor during the summer who can introduce and help him with the new program? ANSWER I do not feel that a tutor is necessary at this Although there are differences in the two math programs, your child has been given instructions in the fundamental skills. It would be more advantageous to wait and see if any difficulties occur. The new teacher will probably be able to give any additional help which is needed. I suggest an early conference with the teacher to discuss the situation. If you keep close contact with her during the first few months, together you will be able to decide if tutoring seems advisable. You will probably find it - unnecessary.
