Search Fails 10 Locale
Missing Bolivian
Mine Maenate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. IA week
long search by police and diplomats
Of at least four South American re-
publics has failed to uncover a clue
to the disappearance OF Mouricio
Hochschild, multimillionaire Boliv-
ian mine owner.
Hochschild, German born and an
Argentine citizen. disappeared July
80 IN La Paz, Bolivia, with Adolfo
Blum, vice president OF the huge
Hochschild properties. They were
last seen outside the Chilean con-
sulate after Hochschild obtained q
passport from Bolivian onicials for
trip to Chile. His locked limousine
later was discovered In front OF the
consulate.
According to one version here
Hochschild and Blum walked to the
side of the consulate. where they
were seized by seven men who hus-
tied them OF in waiting automo-
bile.
Hochschilds friends here ex-
pressed belief that the two men were
kidnapped or killed by members OF
secret Bolivian military lodge
which participated in the Decem-
ber, l943, revolution establishing 1t
Col. Guilberto Villarroel as Presi-
dent.
They said members of the lodge
were disappointed when foreign in
terests intervened to save the mine
owner FROM firing squad in 1899
for allegedly plotting a revolution
Hochschild was arrested last April
and imprisoned on a similar charge
but was released later.
President Villarroel told the Bo-
livian Congress that the "kidnap-
ing" OF Hochschild was part of a
plan to create difficulties for the
new government.
A report from La Paz last week
said Hochschild was in the United
States discussing transfer Of his tin
properties, but friends and business
associates denied 1t.
