MEN DIE OF PLAGUE

WASHINGTON, July z. (UP).
It was learned today that a 3d..
100000 shipment Of arms and
munitions may slip through to the
Gran Chaco battle zone despite
the supposed embargo invoked by
the American government to dis
courage war in South America.
The American action, which
was in the form of an order pro-
hibiting sales of arms and NUM-
lions in the United States to
Paraguay and Bolivia didn't pre-
vent the shipment Of arms.
The 100000 cargo left Nor
folk for Bolivia after the order
was issued.
This was made possible by a
state department ruling that the
ownership of munitions changed
hands at an earlier date so that
the actual sale was not involved
in the dispatch of the cargo.
Bolivia sent note to the Unit
ed States requesting the delivery
of all goods for which contracts
entered into prior to the effective
date of the munitions order.
The 100000 was a down pay
ment on a 100000 order.
