Recognition
to be Given

Washington, June 19-UP-The
United States, acting in conjunc-
ton with IS other friendly Latin
American nations, will recognize
the revolutionary government Of
Bolivia on Friday to end a six
months blackout of diplomatic rela-
tions. it was learned today.
The Bolivian regime, headed by
Major Gualberto Nillaroel, swept
into power in a coup d'etat against
General Enrique Penaranda last
Dec. 20. The United States and all
other Latin American countries
save Argentina held up formal rec
ognition pending clarifilation of re
ports that the coup was inspired by
Axis agents in both Bolivia and
Argentina.
The recognition will climax a
long series of inter-American con
situations and a special inyestiga-
ton conducted in Bolivia by Avra
Warren, L. S. Ambassador to Pana'
ma. Mexico and Cuba conducted
similar investigations.
The decision was considered sig
nificant because it will precede the
July 2 elections 10 a Bolivian con-
assembly Some circles
had urged Secretary OF State Cor
dell Hull to delay action until
until the election results became
known hut others held that Villaro-
el had shown enough disposition to
cooperate with the United Nations
to merit recognition now.
