LA PAZ UP)-A Bolivian army
regiment and air force trainees
revolted in LP. Paz yesterday, mili-
tary uprisings were reported
spreading in the interior and rebel
broadcasts called on President Vic-
tor Paz Estenssoro to resign. His
turbulent regime appeared threat-

In a broadcast from Cochabam-
ba, 350 road miles southeast of
La Paz, Vice-President Rene Bar-
rientos said he too would resign
if Paz ,Estenssoro would quit and
turn over power to a military
junta. Barrientos appeared to be
the leader of the uprising. He
broke with the president last
month and went to Cochabamba.

SAIGON, Viet Nam-Despite the

the presidential election in the
United States, little change in the

government of Paz Estenssoro and
would not rule out the possibility
that he would fall. In a radio
broadcast, the president blamed
the uprisings on Communist plot-
ters and ambitious army officers
and declared he would not falter
in defending the nation against
them.
Again
The Ingavi regiment and the air
force technical school in La Paz,
which rose in rebellion in the
early morning hours but surrend-
ered after two hours, were report-
ed to have rebelled again.
Barrientos declared the rebel-
lion would triumph and denounc-
ed what he called the massacre
of students and rebellious tin
miners last week. It was for this
reason that Cochabamba is in
revolt, he said.
Even in La Paz, there were re-
ports that military groups were
organizing to support Barrien-
tos, an air force general.
Talk of a military revolt has
circulated in recent months. Ar-
my circles have said only a mili-
tary regime can govern a nation
faced with a sea of economic and
political troubles. They insisted
Paz Estenssoro's regime has lost
its steam.
Immediate Action
Armed civilian militia and police
turned out as soon as the govern-
ment {radio announced the In-
gavi regiment of La Paz had risen
up and seized the chief of the
armed forces. He was then re-
leased by the rebels with the un-
derstanding he would go to gov-
ernment palace and ask the presi-
dent to resign, informants said.
Instead, militia and police sur-
rounded the rebel regiment, which
agreed to surrender if no soldiers
were arrested. The air force tech-
nical school joined the Ingavi
regiment in its two-hour uprising,
informants said. In all, about a
dozen junior regimental officers
were detained, these sources added.

Bien Hoa shellings and a possible
retaliatory air raid against some
North Vietnamese installation
would be comparing apples with
bananas.
Most of the Viet Cong's men are
recruited locally and most of
their arms are captured from
American supply lines.
U.S. Ammo
The 81 mm mortar shells that
killed four Americans, wounded 72
and destroyed or damaged 27 air-
craft at the Bien Hoa base Sun-
day were identified as American
ammunition, possibly part of that
supplied to the French army for
the Indochina war.
Taylor is understood to feel that
the present pattern of reaction to
the Viet Cong is the correct ap-
proach, despite failures suffered
in the past three years. The fail-
ures are attributed to political in-
stability in Saigon and .poor exe-
cution. The official hope is that
these flaws will be rectified.

Court Voids
'Closing Lawy
By The Associated Press
LANSING-Michigan's weekend
closing law was struck down
unanimously Monday by the state
Supreme Court. But the eight jus-
tices disagreed on just why the
law was unconstitutional.
The two-year-old law required
most merchants to close one day
a week-either Saturday or Sun-
day. It delegated to county boards
of supervisors the power of set-
ting criminal penalties, and per-
mitted each county board to ex-
empt its county completely from
the law.

U.S. leaders here believe that
the war in South Viet Nam is
fundamentally a local war sup-
ported in secondary ways by Com-
munist powers outside. While at-
tacks on supply routes and bases
outside South Viet Nam would be
useful, they believe, the war bas-
ically will be won or lost within
the borders of South Viet Nam.
For several months the United
States has quietly probed the sit-
uation, with a few actual raids

Sweeping Social Reforms
LONDON (P)-British Prime Minister Harold Wilson's new Labor
government announced yesterday a sweeping program of social change.
Then Wilson opened a turbulent policy debate that brought a Con-
servative motion condemning him.
The motion, which amounts to a censure, assailed the prime min-
ister for calling a "parliamentary leper" the Conservative who once
defeated the new foreign secretary, Patrick Gordon Walker. The tu-
mult broke out after Queen Elizabeth II had read the traditional

speech to Parliament outlining a
Laborite program including state
action to take over the steel in-
dustry and urban building land.
First Debate
In the first full-scale debate,
of Britain's 43rd Parliament, Wil-
son recalled that Gordon Walker
had been beaten in Britain's Oct.
15 election by a Conservative, P.
H. S. Griffiths. Laborites accused
Griffiths of fanning racial ha-
treds. The electoral district of
Smethwick, near Birmingham,
has many colored immigrants.
Wilson asserted the. Smethwick
result would "leave a lasting brand
of shame on the Conservative
Party." He called upon Sir Alec
Douglas-Home, former prime min-
ister, to disown Griffiths.
Despite his margin of only five
votes in the 630-member House
of Commons, Wilson's catalogue
of 20 bills was featured by sev-
eral other controversial measures.
Topping them are laws attacking
monopolies and mergers, requir-
ing big firms to disclose the mon-
ey they pay to political parties,
curbing rents and real estate
prices and abolition of the death
penalty. The Conservatives an-
nounced they will fight this pro-
gram.
Liberal Views
The nine-member Liberal Party
in Parliament, while praising La-
bor's program of social reform,
rapped Wilson for jeopardizing
his positive measures "by push-
ing ahead with his irrelevant plans
to renationalize the steel indus-
try."
Britain's steel industry was na-
tionalized by Clement Attlee's La-
bor government in 1951-but it
was freed again by Sir Winston
Churchill's Conservatives in 1953.

,
The president in September
exiled 34 political leaders and put
the nation under virtual military
rule. This in turn led to student
antigovernment demonstrations,
and disaffection spread to the
tin mining interior. There, left-
ist-led tin miners raised the flag
of rebellion but order was report-
ed restored by last weekend.
Chief Justice Thomas Kavanagh
and Justices Harry F. Kelly and
Otis M. Smith agreed on the sec-
ond point but not on the first.
The remaining two justices,
Michael D. O'Hara and John R.
Dethmers, said enforcement of the
law would be "ludicrously impos-
sible and farcical."
