Bolivian Police Battle
Mob in Demonstration
Over Political Exile
By ,he Assoeio,ed Pres,

LA PAZ, Bolivia, April IA
National police clashed today with
street crowds accused of partici-
Ipating in a revolutionary plot. |
One person was killed and several
policemen were injured, one seri-
ouSly.
The government said the plot.
timed to coincide with the demon
|stration, was smashed.
The person killed was youth
|of Is. One policeman suffered a !
skull fracture. Several others
were injured in the fighting dur
ing which police fired shots and
used tear gas bombs to disperse
the crowds. About 20 persons
were reported arrested.
Political Demonstrations.
Col. Canedo Pelaez, director
general of the police, said his men
had broken up a group of ZAP
proximately 800" demonstrating
over the scheduled return of an
exiled opposition political leader.
Victor Paz Estenssoro, from Ar
gentina. Julio Quiroga. manager
here of Braniff Airlines, said Paz
Estenssoro had been detained In
Asuncion, Paraguay.
The plot was aimed at provok-
ing a revolutionary outbreak. dur
ing which an attempt would be
made to assassinate President
Mamerto Urriolagoitia, police said.
They identified the 800 demon
strators as members of the Revo-
lutionary Nationalist Movement
(MNR). which nominated the
exiled leader to run for election.
Charge Police Fabrication.
MNR members denied that any
revolutionary plot was under way.
They charged that the police had
invented the whole plot as an
excuse to bar Paz Estenssoro's re-
entry into the country.
Paz Estenssoro led the revolution
of 1916 in which the president,
1t. Gen. Gualberto Villarroel, was
assassinated. Shortly after the
uprising Paz Estenssoro fed the
country and has been in exile
since. i
MNR nominated him to run in
the May 6 presidential election. His
followers made a special appeal
to the government to permit his
return. Government officials said
they would not impede his re-
turn, but thus far he has not
received full clearance.

Springfield: We are hearing the
word cerebral frequently these days
in connection with the solicitation
Of funds for the victims Of cerebral

Until q few years ago all die

toned only the pronunciation
SEHR-e-brI. And If we consider
etymology as our guide to pronun-

comes from the Latin cerebrum,

SEHR-e-br'm. However. Ameri-
cans have a happy-go-luclky habit
Of blithely ignoring etymology

Of a pronunciation. They can

thereby establish Correct" pronun-
Citations.
And why should they not do so2
After all the language belongs to
the people; it Is they who make the
final decision Of what they will and
will not say. And all the die
tionaries in Christendom to the
contrary Notwithstanding cannot
change the win Of the people.
Cerebral was q book" word until
the untimely death Of President
Roosevelt shocked the Nation. Then
cerebral became a word on every
body's lips-and the pronunciation
that prevailed. even among people
in the medical profession, was suh-
