LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 23-At the insistance of a woman civic leader, the bodies of President Gualberto Villarroel and three of his lieuten- ants were cut down from lampposts during the night and taken to a morgue today to await burial "as Christians"
 The bodies had been hanging in front of the presidential palace for more than "A hours, where they were viewed by thousands of per- sons. Villarroel and his aides were killed Sunday at the conclusion of four-day revolution which re- suited in POGO casualties.
 Marie Teresa Solari, chairman of he Women's Civic Union, demand ed that the bodies be removed, de- spite the fact that she had opposed Villarroels strong man" regime since 1944.
 Meanwhile, the new civilian gov ernment moved swiftly to round up the remnants of Villarroels sup porters, and jailed a number of military leaders and members of the secret police.
 Leaders of the new government announced that local authorities had been busted without blood shed by revolutionists in Cocha- bamba, Santa Cruz and Oruro, and that new officials were being elect cd.
 "A dispatch from Africa, Chile, said the Oruro radio announced that Indian miners in the vicinity had staged an uprising and were marching toward Oruro. The radio added that miners at Pulacayo went on strike in protest against the "cruel death" of Villarroel, who was thrown from a balcony of his palace to an angry mob below).

 Although he has never stopped around long enough to get ac- quainted with Juneau people be- fore" Dr. Thompson has been mak- ing trips to and from Alaska since 1916. At that time he was in charge of halibut investigation in Alaska for the Canadian Government. Fol lowing the signing of the Interna- tional Fishery Commission Treaty in 1924. he became Director of the halibut Investigation for both countries.
 Since that time, he has had many occasions to study problems con- nected with all types of Alaskan fisheries. With halibut fishing more or less stabilized now, he said, wise application of its regulations should keep it a lucrative and continuous ly-movinp industry.
 There is much need of study and increased knowledge of ether types of fishing here, however, ne said. Bottom fish, such as sole and cod, are at present in need of concen- trated scientific research.
 He predicted that some day the fisheries stretching from Seattle to the Boring Sea should be the great est on the West Coast.
