Coup Mayllui Tin Supplies To Wesierniowers

By Alberto Aiveategui

LA PAZ, Bolivia. May 16 - (A P) - President Mamerto Urriolagoitla resigned today and handed over the government of his turbulent tin-mining country to la. Junta of three generals and seven colonels. '

The coup apparently blocked off

from the presidency the exiled Victor Paz Estenssoro. the tin miners' candidatc of the National Revolutionary Party (M.N.R.l. who received the most votes in the May 6 presidential election.

The government's candidate ran second.

(In Buenos Alres. Estenssoro chnrged the seizure of power was is "deal" to cheat him of the presidency. Interpreters of the situation reported from the Ar- gentine capital that a stormy at- mosphere had been created for paralyzing strikes. a drying up of the flow of strategic tin to West- ern rearmnment efforts. and pos- sible bloodshed and revolution.)

The first act of the military government was to declare a state of siege. a modified form of mart- ial law: ban strikes. and author- ize general or partial mobilizat- ion of the army and civilians to maintain order.

Gen. Hugo Ballivan. former under-secretary of defence. was named by Gen. Ovidio Quirogn. chief of the armed forces. to head the new government. "

A number of arrests were made. Among those rounded up were Ed- mundo Vasquez. former leader of the Union Republican socialist Party. the government party, and Humberto Plaza and Alfredo

other denominations in connection with -the appointment of an in- siitutional chaplain.

Unscheduled Sun Spot is Surprise

COLUMBUS, 0.. May 16 .-. (AP! Old 801 surprised astronomers today by having a 1000.000-mile- long sun spot when he wasn't sup- posed to have any such ailments.

"It wasn't expected." said Dr. J. Allen I-Iynck. director of McMillin Observatory at Ohio State Univer- slty. "because the sun spot cycle was passed two years ago."

The phenomenon was discover- ed, he said. by a student who look- ed through the observatory's teles- cope late Tuesday.

Threat Of iiHoly Warii

In Iran

The arrest and a newspaper campaign threatening a lMosle.m "holy war" against. Britain built up pressure for the Speedy Self-NFC of the rich An-glo-Iranian Oil Company under the nationalization law.

A11 newgpapers printed alarmist reports-not confirmed by . the British Government-that Britain plans to send parachute troops to hold the southern oil fields. A nationalist paper accused Britain of aiming at partition of the com- pany with Russia. S

A senior police officer said the arrested gunman was Abolghassem Rafiee and quoted him as saying: "(Premier Mohammedl Mossadegh is lucky I am caught. Otherwise he would have been shot within the next two or three day!-"

Fedeyan Islam apparently feels Mossadegh is not moving fast enough toward nationalistic goals.

Mossadegh, who has barricaded himself in the Parliament build-' ing since Sunday. was more upset than ever. He ordered all the win- dows of his locked rooms boarded up. Mossadegh locked himself in after declaring his life wasihreat- ened at the instigation of the oil company. I

The newspaper campaign against Britain was viewed by western observers here as part of pressure tactics by Mossadcgh, who whip- ped the nationalization law through a scared Parlitment in three days of vague threats of bloodshed.

The most violent reaction to the British parachute troop report was from the newspaper Shahed. .

"ro,i-each this holy goal (oil nationalization) Iran will fight a holy war if necessary." an editor- ial said. 'iIf oil nationaliution is obstructed by the bad policy of British politicians who refuse to face the facts, the day will come when not a single Britlalar will dare stay in this country. The

Iranian Ifoslem nation will deal

After all aircraft had returned to base at Summerside air station last evening. R.

What. happened to the aircraft after it circled Goose Bay airport at about 2 p. m. Mon- day and set course for summer- side is a complete mystery.

The intensive search out of Summerside will resume this morn- ing and. it the results by evening are still negative. aircraft of the Summerside station will continue the job tomorrow but on a. reduced acme. The weather was most fav- ourable for searching on Tuesday and fairly good yesterday and it is thought that the Gulf has bcio falrly, well covered.

Unfortunately flying conditions in the goose Bay area were not at all suitable yesterday and no searching was carried on there at all. Consequently intensive search- ing will be carried out over Lab- rador and Eastern Quebec for sev-

The search area extended to points approximately 100 miles east and west of Summerside and to the north shore of the Gulf. An area of 83,200 square miles was covered and the crews of each plane were expected to scan two and a half miles on each side dur- ing sweeps.

Hopes were raised momentarily yesterday when a report came in from one plane that they had found rt Dakota down on the Gaspc pen- insula. Further investigation how- ever proved it to be a Rimouski Airlines ship that had been lost two or three years ago.

Discuss Cost Of Mounted Police

OTTAWA. May 16 -- (OP) - R.B. Bryce. assistant deptuy fin- ance minister. disclosed today that the Government is losing money by handling duties for eight Prov- Eco: M all but Ontario and Que- c.

He told the. Benatels finance committee that while the Federal Government charges the Provinces about 31.400 a year for every R. C. - M.P. required. the actual cost is probably about 84,200 per man.

In reply to a question by sen- ator A.K. I-lugesaen (L .-. Quebec) as to why the Provinces were charged less than cost. Mr. Bryce said-

"! would prefer if you would ask the Minister of Justice. It's a mat- ter of policy."

Senator John T. lfaig. Opposi- tion leadar in the senate. disagreed that the Federal Government is losing money. He said the R.C.- M.P. onatables had to be in the Provinces anyway to look after Federal matters. when the RC.- M.P. took over in Manitoba. he believed the Provincial payment was "practically found money for the -Dominion Government." ,

Recount Gives Opposition Leader Majority Of Seven

AGES

Mr. R. R. Bell. K.C., Leader of the Opposition yesterday was de- clared elected in Second Qucenis following ii recount requested by his Liberal opponent'for Comi- cillor. Mr. W. R. Le-Page.

The voting was extremely close and arguments at the recount. tended to become acrimonious at times. However, in the end all differences were forgotten. and it was in a general atmosphere of cordiality that the final decision was announced by Judge C. St. Clair Trainor who presided over the recount.

In the New Glasgow poll there were two disputed ballots for Mr. LePage, but in the final count they would not have made any change in the result and by consent of both parties they and other bai- lots in question were allowed in

In the west. other Red forces strengthened their resistance to Allied patrols around Munsan .-mdl Uijorigbu. Uijongbu is ll milcsl north of Seoul and Munsan more- than 320 miles northwest.

South Koreans Hardest

South Korean forces on the east- central front in the Inje area were hardest hit. They fell back virtually along their entire front.

An Eighth Army briefing of- ficer said the Communists ”force-cl the general withdrawal of friend- ly units to new defensive lines where fighting continues."

Allied artillery mowed down waves of attacking Rods. Field dispatches. delayed by censors. reported an estimated 2.000 Reds were killed by artillery alone dur- ing the opening stages of the of- fensive Wednesday.

First reports on the offensive told only of waves of Red foot soldiers but made no mention of tanks or heavy artillery.
