Stories of depredations are filter- ing in from all points and white hacienda owners are fleei! before infuriated descendants of the ancient Incas to moge populated cen- ters. Active measures are being taken by the government to orevent a spread of the rising to the depart- ment of La Paz. Whites in Minority There are approximately 200,000 Indii in this department, with the whites decidedly in the minority, and fears are voiced by offiicals that, if the movement does reach La Paz, it might easily assume the nature of a catastrophe. The charge has been made in con- gress by the minister of interior that communist agents are respon- sible for the outbreak, inciting the Indians to nation-wide rebellion to establish the supremacy of their race and obtain ownership of all lands. He told the newspaper El Diario that the rebellion had entered a grave phase, inasmuch as many Indians had obtained fire arms, in the use of which they were famed. Iu Tomoya an alleged communist, Luis Navarro, has been taken into custody, accused of arousing the In- dians to lawless acts, and measures have also been taken against a law- yer, Hilario Fernandez, charged with distributing hommunist propaganda.
