U. 5. Bomber TO Return
Body Of Bolivian Pilot

The Bolivian government has ac-
cepted the offer of the United
States to send back to Bolivia in a
four r-motored army bomber, the body
of Capt. Rafael Suarez Rivas. killed
Thursday in plane crash near
Washington Airport here.
This was learned today as Dr.
Luis Fernando Guachalla, Bolivian
Minister, having received the ac-
ceptance by cable, planned to go to
the State Department today to con-
fer on plans.
This plane will take off from
Boiling Field Immediately after a
religious ceremony to be conducted
in the Chapel at Fort Myer at IL
am. Monday under the direction of
the Bolivian Legation.
The co-pilot of the plane, Capt.
Alberto Taborga, who tried in vain
to extract his companion from the
crashed and burning plane, was re-
ported at Emergency Hospital today
to be in very good condition" He
was painfully but not seriously hurt.
1t. Col. Oscar Moscoso, Bolivian
military and air attache, after talk
ing to Capt. Taborga, at the hos
pital, declared: The cause of the
accident is being studied by the
Civil Aeronautics Board. Most likely
the board will reach the conclusion
that the cause was the same as we
have seen in the cases of some of
the best pilots in the United States.
1t was fate"
Explaining that Capt. Taborga
had not yet been told of the death
Of Capt. Rivas, Col. Moscoso said:
1T might be fatal to tell him now. .

and Libva and when he faced the
possibility of the British organizing
a Balkan entente. The 300 planes
and the three mechanized divisions
in France were taken from the
Spanish frontier and sent to Sicily.
Hitler's third request to Gen.
Franco came at the moment OF the
collapse of Yugoslavia and Greece.
Here again Gen. Franco knew that
Hitler was preoccupied elsewhere.
Again the Spaniard stalled.
Gen. Frances stubbornness, based
on his realization that Hitler was
not then in position to push
through Spain before the Spaniards
were ready, led to reports that his
resignation would be forced and that
Serrano Suner would take over the
Spanish government in order to lead
the country into war. Informed
quarters dismissed these reports as
Nazi propaganda. Gen. Franco is
not likely to be forced out in the
first place, and he is not likely in
the second place TO resist German
entry once he knows that Hitler
means business.
Need Propaganda Buildup.
Gen. Franco probably has the
confidence of not more than half of
the Spanish public at most. But
Serrano Suner and the other po-
tential heads of state have no pop
ular following whatever. A Fascist
regime is impossible unless there is a
propaganda buildup for the num-
ber one Even the Falangistas know
that without Gen Franco they have
no front man and their regime could
only be maintained by force of Ger
man bayonets, as in Italy. Fall
angistas know. moreover, that Span
iards are not Italians. Consequently.
observers who know Spain feel that
even the Falangistas will hesitate to
join the Germans in forcing Gen
Franco out
Finally, Gen. Franco is scarcely
likely to resist once he sees that
France and North Africa are being
swept along by the Nazi machine
thanks to victory at Suez, or, con-
versely. once he realizes that Hitler,
because of military necessity, in
tends to march into Spain whether
Madrid agrees or not. In two con-
versations with Gen. Franco I have
found him to be shrewd but a
weak man. He has the notorious
taciturn shrewdness of his province
and he has the Latin's tendency to
stall when in difficulties on the hope
that the situa&on may improve
with time But his will is no more
strong than his soft womanish voice
or the limp hand which he extends.
1t has been good internal politics
as we'll as sound craftsmanship for
him to stall Hitler. The Spanish
public knows that he has tried to
keep Spain out of war. He has pre-
pared the public to believe. once he
takes Spain to war, that he had no
choice. He hasn't.
