When Helen Hayes and her

Bolivians bitterly n oted that
their capital was omitted. Not

1852 rivals both the earlier
Mexican and later Cuban revo-
lutions in wiping out a whole
social order.
Consequently, she is now
struggling with the effects of
reforms which other govern
mentS In Latin America are still
only discussing. The Bolivian
population is SIS per cent In
dian, 80 per cent mixed Indian
and European; average income
is SGT a year. These character
istics are not unique to Bolivia,
but she is far a head of her
neighbors in dealing with them.
On the other hand, the
Bolivian revolution is widely
propagandized at home as
socialist" 1t has destroyed
virtually all pillars of political
order except trade unions. And
these unions are often led by
"Marxist" demagogues. They
have a vested interest in expen-
Sive social welfare measures
which the economy cannot af-
ford. So the revolution has
meant both social advance and
economic retreat. The job now
is to blend the two.

ESQ GIs Pull Out

PARIS, Oct. "A (AP).-Ths
United States Army pulled $50
troops out of Germany yester-
day to help Producer Daryl F.
Zanuck film THE Longest
Day." a story Of the Normandy
landings.
Originally TOO infantrymen
we're scheduled to take part in
the movie-making, but the
United States European Com
mand said the contingent was
cut to $50 on Defense Depart
ment orders. The decision fol-
lowed criticism of the use of
German-based troops in the
face Of the Berlin situation. :,
The European. Command
said the troops were moved at
Mr.. Zanuck's expense from a
base near Frankfurt, Germany,
to a location near La Ro-
chelle, France. Most will re-

which began arriving in Au-
gust 1861.
President Kennedy has
Speeded up the process, he said.
In May Of this year, after a
special mission had visited La
Paz, the United States Presi-
dent promised $50 million
more in loans. Now a special
representative Of Mr.. Kennedy
is in La Paz investigating what
other projects need immediate
aid. The American Embassy is
hopeful selected work will be-
gin in four months.
Test Case for President
But President Paz has more
on his hands than American
dollars can solve. Observers see
his budding battle with tin
mine union leaders as the test
case. 1t will determine how far
the government is willing to
curtail the power of organized
labor for the good of the ma
ton.
For the President, the prob
lem Is finding an alternate
source Of political power. The
revolution destroyed all po-
litical organizations. The busi-
ness community has never
really recovered. Interest rates
for borrowing scarce capital
run at 36 percent annually.
Businessmen are deeply sus-
picious of the revolutionary
government whose party, the
National Revolutionary Move
ment, has near-Communist
trade union leaders sitting side
by side with top government
leaders.
The President has been
making overtures to the unor-
ganized peasantry. They feel a
deep debt of gratitude to the
government for securing them
their land. The first peasant
congress is to be held this
month. And squads of armed
Indian campesinos are being
Evening star., 1961-10-24

used more frequently to break
up labor riots.
Most observers believe the
trade union leaders are too
deeply entrenched and the In
dians too passive for any i'm
mediate break. Indeed, an out
right break with the trade un-
ion movement would run
against the theological grain
of most Bolivian political lead
ers.
What they want, they say,
is compromise for the sake of
the economic break-through
which is just around the
corner after nine years of tur-
moil.

economic aid has poured into
Bolivia - more than to any
other country in the hemi-
sphere.
American and foreign oil
companies have invested 500
million developing reserves
around outlying Santa Cruz
center of that low-lying tropi-
cal eastern part Of the country
not usually mentioned in folk
lore. In the next few years
Bolivian oil production will be
second only to Venezuelan in
South America.

money is supporting vast road
building schemes and "coloniza-
ton" courses aimed at entic-
ing the Indian down from his
mountain retreats to new farms
without killing him with the
shock of changes in climate
and culture.
In the last nine years the
government has distributed
deeds to 100000 farms in the
High Sierra to Indian families
formerly kept in Serfdom on
large estates. But a by-product
of this confiscation and divi-
sion Of land has been a loss
of agricultural production and
concentration of Indians In too
small plots in the mountains.
1000 Rural Schools Built
The Bolivian governmen n t
spends proportionately more on
education than any other coun-
try in South America. In the
last eight years 1000 rural
schools have been built to teach
young Indians to use the land
they have received.
But all these efforts have
made scarcely a dent in the
b a ckwar d ness accumulated
since the Spaniards conquered
the proud Incas 400 years ago.

tral areas are given over COM
pletely to outdoor markets
where Indians, in derbies and
red and yellow shawls sell
everything from chickens to
tangerines.
Observers say these Indian
merchants are beginning to
have an impact on the con-
sumer m arket. Instead oi
boarding their profits In gold
they now exchange them for
American dollars. Many are
buying bicycles and sewing ma
chimes. Others are just dis
covering the radio.
The problem is building a
modern economy able to satisfy
these modern tastes. It is q
problem deeply entrenched in
the politics Of the revolution.
Since 1852 the country has
stumbled from one crisis to an
other, and even now is on the
verge of complete collapse.
Intermittent Siege Rule
During the last six months
President Victor Paz Estenssoro
has intermittently ruled through
a state Of military siege. Ex-
tremist trade union leaders fan
the flames Of industrial strife,
and riots are the result. The
government had to close the
schools in La Paz after stu
dents rioted last week end
against rises in bus and taxi
fares.
IF the economic situation
does not improve in the next
six months, I shall not be able
to stay in office" President
Paz Estenssoro said during the
interview in La Paz. He pinned
his hopes, he said, on speedy
rehabilitation Of delinquent tin
mines which the government
nationaliZed after 1852.
Tin is the ife-blood Of Bo-

livia. 1t normally accounts for
so per cent Of all Bolivian for
eign exchange earnings. But
the price on the world market
has steadily declined, while the
government for its part has
failed completely to run the
mines efficiently. The miners
are tightly organized, they are
one Of the ''bulwarkS of the
revolution" they still have
their own militia, and they are
mostly led by CommuniSt-ori-
ented leaders.
The result has been a circle
Of bankruptcy fed by trade
union nepotism. The govern
ment has lacked the funds TO
introduce modern machinery
or even to pay the miners reg
ularly, while union leaders
have prohibited lay-offs or
economies in production. The
empty food commissaries and
unpaid workers at mine sites
are weapons they need for their
larger political aims.
Nations Lending Funds
The United States, West
Germany and the Inter-Amer-
lean Development Bank have
come to the rescue. In a "tri-
angular PLAN to rehabilitate
the tin mines, they have agreed
to lend Bolivia $11,250,000. In
return, President Paz Estens-
soro has promised trade union
veto" over local production
decisions will be removed.
In his interview, the Presi-
dent welcomed this and other
evidence Of deep American
commitment to Bolivia. But he
was upset about past delays in
receiving promised aid.
Your bureaucracy just not
seem to realize the urgency Of
the problems here" he said. He
used the example of $2.7 mil
lion worth of American oil
equipment promised to the
State oil company in April 1860
