Barbie Believed to Have Fled Bolivia
for Paraguay; Authorities Blamed
PARIS (JTA)—Bolivian authori-
ties were accused of permitting
the escape of the man believed to
be Klaus Barbie, a wanted Nazi
war criminal, as two French mili-
tary judges were obtaining docu-
mentary evidence in Munich that
would confirm the suspect's iden-
tity.
Mrs. Beate Klarsfeld. an anti-
Nazi German who has been track-
ing Barbie, claims that a Bolivian
citizen of German extraction
'known as Klaus Altmann is Bar-
bie, the notorious Gestapo "butch-
er of Lyons."
Altmann, who was jailed by the
authorities in LaPaz last week
for nonpayment of a debt to the
govefnment, was released after
friends of his paid the $4,000 he
owed.
Mrs. Klarsfeld said that Bar-
bie-Altmann still owed $10,000
which should have been grounds
enough to hold him in custody

Mrs. Klarsfeld, who visited La-
Paz in connection with the Barbie
case earlier this month, said the
suspect's release was part of a
tug-of-war between Bolivian army
circles friendly to the ex-Nazi and
public opinion in that country
which wanted him held in the in-
