WHO'S WHO"

The difficulties Of the State De-
partment in keeping track Of Who's
Who and What's What in Latin
America were again exemplified
today by the events in Guate-
mala, where a successful coup has
overthrown the government Of
President Palma and installed a
new government under General
Orellana.
Change Is Quick
Some weeks ago, the State De-
partment was vigorously backing
the Luis government Of Brazil and
affording his government means
Of uuelling the revolution.
Only q few days after Secretary
Of State Stimsonl had instigated
an embargo on arms and ammuni-
ton to the rebels, at the same
time permitting the Luis govern
ment access to American supplies,
the revolution was successful, Luis
was overthrown, and the Depart
ment had to recognize the govern
ment Of Colonel Vargas, whom it
had been opposing.
Palma Is Out
Two days ago, the State Depart
ment recognized the government
of President Palma in Guatemala
and Secretary StimSon cabled his
congratulations.
Today, Palma was out and Orel-
lana was in, and the State De-
partment is confronted with rec
ognizing the latter.
