replacing deposed President Higino
Morinigo.
Gen. Morinigo, strong man" pres
! ident since 1910, was forced out yes
terday in a bloodless coup by the
army. His cabinet resigned with
him.
Justice Frutos will hold office
until August Is, when President
elect Juan Natalicio Gonzalez Is to
| be inaugurated. The army said it
acted to insure Mr.. Gonzales in
auguration.
The provisional president. be-
lieved in his late Cos, is an old-line
leader of Gen. Morinigo's Colorado
Party.
Telephone Service Cut.
First news of the deposing of Gen.
Morinigo came yesterday morning
when the government announced his
resignation at the request OF "the
armed forces and the people"
Asuncion residents, long used to
wars and revolutions, got a hint OF
trouble the evening before, when
strong police patrols and troops ap-
peared on the streets. Telephone
service was cut.
The army communique said the
action was started when Gen.
Morinigo tried to remove Capt. Rod
riguez Liberato, Asuncion police
chief. A few hours earlier the
Chamber of Representatives had
adopted bill prohibiting the dis
missal, without legal justification, OF
public employees loyal to the govern
ment.
Capt. Liberator, supporter OF
President ELECT Gonzalez, refused to
resign.
Climax of Bid for Power.
Political observers saw in the at
tempted removal of Capt. Liberato
and his refusal to quit the climax
to a bid for power by both Gen.
Morinigo and Mr.. Gonzalez.
Gen. Morinigo had weathered
many previous coups in this coun-
try of slightly more than a million
population. He became President
in 1910 after President Jose Felix
Estigarribia was killed in an air
plane accident. He was the army's
choice to complete the term of the
dead President, ending in 1943. He
got himself elected to another five
year term in a prebiscite in which
he said he got IS per cent of the
votes.
Gen. Morinigo recalled all po-
litical exiles two years ago and
formed a coalition cabinet of the
chief parties. The coalition broke
up, however, and a civil war fol-
lowed last year. The government
put down the revolt after seven
weeks OF fighting, including two
1 week siege of Asuncion.
In the last two years, II of Latin
Americas 20 republics have been
involved In some sort Of violent
political disturbance or revolt.
