BY PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst

When Victor Paz EStenSSoro
returned from Argentine exile
to become president of Bolivia
after a successful revolt in
April, 1852, a prime mover in
his return was a labor leader
named Juan Lechin Oquendo.
Since the 1905 the two had
worked together in leadership
of National Revolutionary
Movement (MNR) and when
Paz became president Lechin
assumed the post Of minister of
mining and petroleum.
Lechin's power rested upon
his control of the Communist
dominated tin miners union.
He himself has been described
as a TrOtSkyite.
The MIR was leftiSt. But up
on the question just how far to
the left the two men separated.
For his part, Paz declared:
In an economically depend
ent country like ours an ex-
t miSt revolution cannot be
accomplished. Guarantees will
b. given to foreign capital on
the condition that it brings real
benefits to the country"
Two Main Supports
Tie Paz government has had
two main supports. One came
from the peasants who received
land under government agrari-
an reform. The other source
was the United States which
has supported the government
with $3.50 million. This years
aid program is budgeted at $65
mlAIon.
US. aid to Bolivia is the
largest per capita in Latin
America.
The elections of 1860 named
PaZ president Of the country for
a second consecutive term and
Lechin vice president.
But, although operating un-
der the same party banner, the
two men had reached the end
of the political ways.
Lechin went into virtual exile
as Bolivian ambassador to the
Vatican. He quit that post two
months ago to take up active
opposition to Paz, depending
for his support upon the rest
less tin miners who still re-
tanned their weapons from the
revolt of 1852.
His campaign, both anti-Paz
and anti United States, is based
upon opposition to government
efforts to clean up the mess in
the nationalized tin industry.
Ridden With Fraud
The mines, nationalized as one
of the first acts of the 1852 rev.
Olution, are shot through with
featherbedding and fraud. Elk

WORKOUT machinery and falling

in an industry accountable for

have met violent resistance.
The resistance, stirred up by
Lechin, reached a climax in

Oil Disappears"
The crux of the matter is &
huge amount of edible oil which
disappeared from a big tank
farm in Bayonne, N. j.
How much oil is missing, who
took it, where did it 60 anc
where can it be found? The
answers are being sought by Z
federal grand jury, private de
tectives, lawyers and a host D
auditors who would make the
inveStigative staff of the Inter
nal Revenue Service envious.
The answers won't come easy
according t o all appearances
and the testimony of Nicholas
Papaccio.
Papaccio, a former employt

in connection with his firms
bankruptcy proceedings.
He said it was simple t
transfer oil from one tank Il
another at the 20O-unit storage
tank farm in Bayonne. Not al
the tanks are used by the same
firms. The tanks are connected
above and below ground by ar
involved system Of transfer
pipelines, and once the OF
from one tank is piped into an
other, it is next to impossible
to trace it.
Files Destroyed
Files dealing with the assign.
ment Of some Of those tanks
were destroyed by fire, anc
harried Investigators reported
difficulties matching taks or
other tanks with listed owners
or leases.
The whole business came t.
light when Allied Crude filed fol
reorganization under Chapter L
of the Bankruptcy Act las
month. The firm had failed Il
cover multi-million-dollar margin
calls on positions in vegetable
oil futures.
This means that Allied, which
had purchased the oil on credit
in hope of selling it at a profit
was unable to come up with thf
balance Of its payments.
The first phase of the mess
was confined mostly to the fu
lures market. Two Wall Stree
houses, Ira Haupt & Co. anc
j. R. WilliSton & Beane, which
had acted for Allied Crude II
oil dealings, were suspended BY
the New York Stock Exchange
after Allied Crude failed K
meet their margin calls.
Ultimately, Ira Haupt wa,

stock Exchange stepping il
with up to $12 million to care
for its customers; J.. R. Willis
