S. Proposes 10 Buy
Tin From Bolivia and
Provide Other Help
By Gornett D. Homer

The United States today of
fered Bolivia one-year con-
tract for the purchase Of Bo-
livian tin at the world market
price at the time of delivery.
The State Department also
announced that the Mutual Sc
curitN Agency will recommend
that a SIS million American
technical assistance program. in
Bolivia be more than doubled in
order to help Bolivia's agricul-
tural development.
officials said the two moves
were being taken in an attempt
to help Bolivia solve a serious
economic situation growing out
of the declining price of tin.
The State Department an
nouncement said the United
States also is prepared to con-
slider what further steps might
be taken in cooperation with the
Bolivian government looking to-
ward the long-term solution of
that country's economic prob
lens.
Early Negotiations Due.
officials said negotiations with
Bolivia on the tin contract offer
are expected to start soon. They
said Bolivia had not indicated so
far whether the basis on which
the contract is offered would be
acceptable.
For the last few years Bolivia
has been holding out for tin
prices higher than the United
States was willing to pay on any
long-term contract basis. Some
time ago this Government con-
tracted for Indonesian tin at
more than 81 20 a ton and offered
Bolivia a similar deal, but the
Bolivians held out for more. In
the meantime the world market
price has fallen to around SO
cents a pound.
Aim at DiverSificatiOn.
American officials emphasized
the offer to increase technical
assistance in Bolivia's agricul-
tural development program as
measure to reduce Bolivian de-
pendence on the tin industry.
The State Department said the
proposals are being made lin
recognition of the measure which
Bolivia itself has taken toward
economic diversification."
The proposals were timed to CO.
incide with the arrival in Bolivia

Explorers Penetrate
West Virginia Cave
BY the A.soeio,.d Pres.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The
New York Herald Tribune said
today 10 amateur explorers, in
cluding two women. spent 21h
hours during the week end in
schoolhouse Cave in West Vir-
ginia and reached their main OBJ
jective, Grind Canyon, at the
caves lowest level.
The mud-caked and tired
spelunkers. as the cave explorers
are known. completed their
gruelling trip yesterday.
The party leaders, Robert Kitz
and M. Girard Bloch, termed it
a success.
Mr.. Bloch said if ever another
trip into the cave is made, he
would make two changes
smaller party. and less equip
ment. Both factors, he said,
slowed down the group.
Water and slime in the caves
lower reaches soaked ropes and
clothing.
The explorers found that Grind
Canyon is about $50 feet under
ground and is about 1900 feet
long. 1t is extremely narrow, with
walls rising so to rs feet. Only
Ulysses Lutz of Philadelphia, the
party's smallest man, could enter
its narroweSt sections. He had to
struggle through sliding rock and
running water.
Other members Of the party
praised the two women, Miss Ida
Sawtelle Of Brooklyn and Miss
Audrey Blakesley of Trenton,
N. j. Members of the exploring
party came from New York, New
