BREAK CALM:
Rebellion
Breaks Out
In Bolivia
LA PAZ, Bolivia (W) - A revolt
by a regiment of national police
shattered the weekend's calm of
this capital yesterday.
Small arms and mortar fire re-
sounded through La Pag.
Claiming the revolt was under
control, government forces strove'
to seal off the insurgents in the
Avelino Aliaga barracks in the
northern part of the city.
The government radio declared
the uprising was the work of the
rightist Bolivian Socialist Falange,
an old hand at revolt blamed for
two other uprisings in less than
two years.
Buried Differences
The feuding candidates for pres-
ident in the May 1 election buried
their differences and rallied to the
support of President Hernan Siles
Zuazo, who has been striving to
bring some order out of Bolivia's
economic chaos since he took of-
fice in 1956.
The candidates, Victor Paz Es-
tenssoro of the National Revolu-
tionary Movement (NRM), and
Walter Guevara, who heads a
splinter of the NRM, called on,
their followers to help put down,
the rebellion.
The chief source of information
was the government radio, and} it
was giving few details. It said
nothing of casualties or points at-
tacked, but indicated action had
been limited to the barracks area.
Call on Militia
The radio called on the peo-
ple's militia, established in 1952
as an arm of the NRM, to seal
off all streets leading to Avelino
Aliaga barracks and make sure
no rebel escaped. The people were
told loyal military forces had the
situation under control.
Siles and other government of-
facials hurried off to army head-
quarters on the south side of the
city to direct operations as soon
as the revolt erupted.

AMBASSADOR SPEAKS-Ben C. Limb, head of the Korean
mission to the United Nations, spoke as a part of the Platform
Attraction Series last night. He stressed the Communist threat
to Asia and the need to combat it.
UN Ambassador Predicts
Victory of Democrac y
By CAROLINE DOW,

"Democracy will win in Asia
simply because it must" Korean
Ambassador' to- the United Na-
tions Ben C. Limb told listeners
at the Platform Attraction Series
last night.
Painting the grim picture of a
conquered China and Tibet, a neu-
tralized India, Indonesia and Bur-
ma, Japan "wistfully contemplat-
ing communist trade advantages"
and small and scattered free
South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam
and the Philippines, Limb asked
United States aid to "reverse the
tide."
Russia Premier Nikita Khrush-
chev is following the pattern that
Lenin made for the path of com-
munism in 1922, Limb said. "The
road to Paris lies through Peiping
and Delhi."
"First eastern Europe, then the
masses of Asia, then we will sur-
round and undermine the United
States, which will fall without
struggle like an overripe fruit,"
Limb quoted.
"Those who do not learn from
history suffer from a repeat of the
pattern."
He noted the American tenden-
cy to be optimistic about situa-
tions and he repeated the proverb,
"The Chinese always absorb their
conquerors and remake them in
their own image." Limb ques-
tioned the value of this attitude
toward the China of today.
"The Americans couldn't win
the revolution without the help of
the French. We cannot win with-
out Western help as our govern-
ments are new, and we lack tech-
nical know-how and materials.
"The Communists have already
won one-third of the battle, and
they are still catching democracies
unawares in the miasma of de-
ceptive peace and prosperity slo-
gans,"
"Those who say that Commun-

ism has not made any progress
since 1950 can be complacent, if
they ignore Tibet, Hungary and
Korea," Limb pointed out.
When speaking of the American
and UN aid to Korea, he felt that
a "new unending, lasting friend-
ship has been built between the
U.S. and Asia."
Khrushchev
Reschedules
French Tour
PARIS (PA) - Nikita S. Khrush-
chev is starting his once-postponed
visit to France Wednesday under
a bobtailed schedule that omits
the original plan for a tour of
several cathedrals.
A number of Roman Catholic
church leaders had shown open
hostility toward the trip of the
Soviet Premier, who wants to see
and be seen as well as to hold
ground-laying talks with Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle before the
May summit conference.
Back in traveling trim after an
announced attack of influenza,
Khrushchev will spend about three
days in Paris, visit a dozen pro-
vincial cities and deliver a TV-
radio address to the French peo-
ple before returning to Moscow
April 3.
Final details were announced
yesterday, after long negotiation
between Paris and Moscow that
apparently ran into several snags.
The 65-year-old Soviet leader
originally planned to fly in last
Tuesday for a two-week stay. His
illness was announced only 48
hours in advance of his scheduled
departure from Moscow. The ar-
rangements have now been com-
pressed into 12 days.

Want To Add
Small Blasts
To U.S. Plan
Proposal Provides
No Formal Control
GENEVA () - The Russians
yesterday conditionally accepted
President Eiserihower's plan for a
partial nuclear test ban.
They offered to sign an honor-
system treaty with the United
States and Britain immediately to
bar big tests-oceanic, atmosphere
or underground-if the two west-
ern powers join the Soviet Union
in a promise to refrain indefinitely
from conducting small under-
ground blasts.
Under the Soviet proposal, there
would be no international control
to insure compliance with the
moratorium.
Long Deadlocked
Soviet delegate Semyon Tsarap-
kin told a special meeting of the
long-deadlocked Big Three nuclear
conference that the moratorium
would be accompanied by a joint
three-power scientific study to deal
with the problem of small un-
derground blasts - the sort of ex-
plosions the United States main-
tains cannot be policed with exist-
ing detection techniques.
Tsarapkin blamed the United
States for the conference's in-
ability to conclude a comprehen-
sive treaty. United States delegate
James J. Wadsworth challenged
him on this ground.
Tsarapkin's move came three
days after the United States Atom-
ic Energy Commission announced
plans for "Operation Gnome" -
the explosion of nuclear device
for peaceful scientific purposes
planned in New Mexico next Janu-
ary.
None of the three powers ne-
gotiating in Geneva has conducted
tests for 16 months, but France,
not a participant, has set off an
atomic device of her own in the
interval.
Tsarapkin's move marked the
first time that the Soviet Union
has indicated it would accept any-
thing less than a complete treaty.
U.S. Stand Noted
The United States urged Rus-
sia Feb. 11 to accept a test ban
which would allow rqlatively low-
powered underground blasts-with
a maximum equivalent to about
20,000 tons of TNT-but prohibit
atomic-hydrogen explosions in the
air and sea.
Eisenhower said in a statement
the proposals "would end forth-
with, under assured controls," the
following types of explosions:
1) All nuclear weapon tests in
the atmosphere.
2) All tests in the ocean.
3) All tests "in those regions of
space where effective controls can
now be agreed to."
4) All tests beneath the surface
of the earth "which can be moni-
tored."

NO NEW TREND:
I Hitchcoc
By STEPHANIE ROUMELL
"I'm always surprised when I
talk to a teenager to find that
they know popular music, rock 'n
roll, and watered down jazz, but
very little about progressive jazz,"
Prof. Wiley Hitchcock, of music
school, said last week.
He teaches both the 20th cen-
tury European and American mu-
sic literature courses. Jazz is in-
cluded in the Ameican music
course.
"So I don't think that jazz is an
expression of adolescent revolt,
although it may have been at
one time. The placet of jazz has
changed. 'Progressive Jazz is ap-
parently too difficult for teen-
agers to hear and enjoy; whereas
rock 'n roll is infinitely simpler."
He paused thoughtfully a mo-
ment, then said, "Jazz has be-
come a sort of chamber art mu-
sic. It is more to listen to and less
functional. It is approaching more
and more the concept of art-
something autonomously valuable
outside of its utilitarian value."
Jazz More Chromatic
"Since the bop style developed
in the 1940's jazz has become
chromatic." He went to the piano
and played a chromatic chord-
chords between major and minors.
"Chromatic music is more com-
plex than diatonic. So, since the
forties, jazz has more nearly ap-
proached serious music, which is
also chromatic."
Now it is possible for Rolf Lie-
bermann to write 'Concerto For
Jazz' without making it sound
contrived, Prof. Hitchcock pointed
out.
"Each note of that work was
written in a very advanced clas-
sical style. Yet it sounds like jazz,
which shows how jazz and classi-
cal music are coming closer to-
gether~
"Many of today's jazz musi-
cians have broad backgrounds in
classical music - for instance
Dave Bruebeck. This has had its
impact on the nature of jazz, es-
pecially in its range of expres-
sivity.
Only Two Feelings
Aaron Copeland was one of the
first classical musicians to be-
come interested in jazz, Prof.
Hitchcock related. But for Cope-
land jazz had only two feelings:
blues and snappy.
"Now with the jazz musicians'
wider knowledge of music, there
has been a broadening of ex-
pression in jazz. Of course, no
one laughs louder at this high
flown aesthetic criticism of jazz
than the jazz musician, who
thinks of himself as an eruptive,
self-expressive genius, independ-
ent of outside musical influences
on his art."
Commenting on new trends in
jazz, Prof. Hitchcock said that
there has been nothing new for
years. "It doesn't seem to me that
there has been anything new since
the early fifties with the West
coast movement-Gerry Mulligan
and Shorty Rogers, and the hard
bop school-Art Blakey, on the
East coast."
Charlie Mingus and Miles Davis
made their crucial recordings in
1949-50 and calling them "the
birth of the cool.'
"Of course the forties were a
great period for jazz in many
ways: the revival of dixiland, the
rise of bop, and the intellectual
movement.
"The intellectual movement, be-
