The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-24

Calnly III one COunCTy--Ear'
 When he made Q speech in the senate he was quoted throughout the continent. It was headline news. Newsboys hawked extras on the streets. Latin Americans reveled in his attacks on Standard oil and other big firms operating In their territory.
 Therefore, when Huey Long came out with . sensational speech during the Chaco war castlgating the Bollvlans and calling the Paraguayans heroes, it made . terrific impression.
 It meant that Paraguay had Q powerful ally that Bolivia was put on the defensive.
 So the Paraguayan government named Q fort !n the center of the Chaco "Fortina Huey Long,, and the minister in Washington, En- rique Bordenave, egged the set1a. tor on to bigger and better speeches.
 Bolivia's Spokesman
 Meanwhile the Bolivian govern. ment, frantic, wanted Q spokeS. man In the senate. It needed Q senator who could answer Huey Long, could sway pan.American opinion in its favor. Instructions to this effect were sent to tho minister here, Enrique Finot.
 Pinot did his best, but got noe where. No senator was interested in the Chaco. Ills government kept bombarding him with de- nlnnds, even peremptory orders, but Tinot couldn't get started. He was c dismal failure.
 Finally his assistant, Enrique do Lozada, took Q hand.
 De Lozada Is Q young man, but he has charm and ability. For years he was the real brain of the Bolivian legation. When Minister Pinot started breaking china, it was do Lozada who put together tho pieces.
 Huey Their God
 So do Losada finally enlisted tho support of Senator Logan or Kentucky. Logan made . credit. able speech, much more logical than Huey's. Thus the cause or Bolivia was repaired.
 What was more important in the mind of Minister Finot was that his own skin was saved. Back in Bolivia he became c hero.
 Time passed. The Parguayans continued to put their faith in Huey Long, even prayed before hls picture.
 But one night about 2 .. m, tho Psraguayan minister was awakened by . crash in she next room. He got up, turned on the light. The picture of Huey Long, most prised posses: sion on his wall, where it had hung decorated with the coIors os Paraguay, hed fallen. Changed Luck
 pr. Bodenave confided to his friends next morning that he was afraid luck was going to change for Paraguay and Huey Long. They may have some weird way of understanding luck in the paIa- pas of Paraguay, but anyway he was right.
 A day or two later, Huey Long was killed. Shortly thereafter, rebellion broke out in Asuncion. the minister's brother, President Ayala, was overthrown and the minister was recalled.
 Bolivia, for the moment, seemed to be on the lucky side. Certainly Dr. Pinot, its minister was blessed with luck, for Q few months later revolution broke out in Bolivia and he was recalled to take the high post of foreign minister.
 Exit De LOxada
 One reason for this reward was the credit given him for securing Senator Logan as the spokesman of Bolivia to answer Huey Long. In Bolivia, no one knew who it was who really sold the bill of goods to the scenator from Ken- lucky.
 So Minister Pinot sailed away after many lunches given to him by Secretary Hull and many pasans of praise sung Co him ss .
