Bolivian Rebels Claim
Success in Upsetting
Government
Puz Estenssoro Due
To Return Monday
After Year in Exile
BY the Associated Press

LA PAZ. Bolivia, April H.
Bolivian rebels claimed today their
revolt to overthrow army officers,
who had seized power II months
ago, was a success and that Bo-
livia's most popular politician
soon will return from exile to
head a new government.
Herman Siles, civilian leader of
the rebels now controlling the
capital and most of the country
told a crowd in downtown La Paz
he will hold power until exiled
Victor Paz Estenssoro, leader OF
the National Revolutionary Party
(MNR) can return and form a
cabinet. He is expected by Mon

A report received at africa,
Chile, quoted undisclosed sources
as saying an election will be held
in Bolivia within five months.
1000 Reported Killed.
Mr.. Paz Estenssoro polled more
votes than any other candidate in
presidential elections last May G
but failed to win an overall
majority. Before the Congress
could choose among the three
leading candidates, a military
junta forced it's way in, voided the
election and abolished Congress.
The fate of the ousted military
chiefs was not clear. It was re-
ported that some met yesterday
with rebel leaders outside the city
and agreed to cease-fire to halt
the battle which was taking q
heavy toll of lives and destroying
many homes on the city's out
skirts.
Unconfirmed reports from Oru-
70. Bolivia, heard in africa, said
l 900 persons were killed and more
than 5000 wounded in the fight
ing which began at dawn Wed
neSday.
The rebels turned the tide
Thursday night by capturing the
government arsenal at Ell Alto
military airbase, which overlooks
La Paz.

he were denied a major portion

Gen. Weyland said there was no

Telephone & Telegraph Co. to
agree to contracts with $4,000
striking Bell workers in three
States and $4,000 Western Electric
workers in 43 States.
The meeting here was called by
Joseph A. Beirne, CWA-CIO presi-
dent.
The surprise call came shortly
after a settlement was reached in
the Michigan dispute. Operators
there agreed to a contract with
Michigan Bell Telephone Co. for
a raise of 1877 cents an hour.
Watched for Pattern.
The Michigan negotiations
have been watched by other strik-
ing workers as a means for set
ting a pattern for settlement
throughout the Nation.
Mr.. Beirne said failure to reach
similar agreements in other areas
would result in intensification of
the strike during the week end.
The flve-day walkout already
has reduced service in 43 States.
About 100000 n-striking work.
erS have refused to cross Western
Electric picket lines thrown up
around Bell telephone exchanges.
In addition. the operators are
striking in Ohio. Northern Call
fornia and New Jersey. Some 49,
900 are out in the three States.
Western Electric is a manufac-
turing subsidiary of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co.,
which also controls Bell Telephone
Systems in the three States.
Picket Lines Remain.
even though we have settled
our strike against the Michigan
Bell Co., Western Electric picket
lines will remain up in that State
and elsewhere across the country, :"
Mr.. Beirne said.
This indicated that the Michi-
gan workers, even though their
strike is settled, would not cross
the Western Electric picket lines.
Michigan's shutdown was settled
yesterday on the basis of 1877
cent hourly pay increase. The
union had demanded % cents.
Mr.. Beirne said the settlement
would be used as general pat
tern in the other disputes.
Ohio Bell agreed that Michigan
would ''be a basis for agreement" "
But Ernest Weaver, head of the
unions New York district, called
the pay raise way too low"
Michigan Bell said the wage in
creases would cost more than $7.5
million a year. Union spokes-
men said they would cost only
$3.8 million annually.
Court Battles Opened.
The CWA, meantime, has
opened series of court battles
against antipicketing injunctions.
Attorneys went to court in Mont
gomery, Ala, yesterday in an eff
fort to lift Statewide injunc-
tion there. Mr.. Beirne said the
injunction not only forbids picket
ing, but also bans union meetings.
In Maryland and Virginia, the
union set up chit and run"
picket lines. There are only 16O
Western Electric workers on strike
in Virginia and only 125 in Mary
land aside from the Washington
suburbs.
