When a group of junketing members of the Soviet Party Congress arrived in La Paz last week, they were greeted by a wildly cheering throng, which clashed with cops when it tried to raise Red flags atop the airport terminal.

All afternoon and evening, gangs...

Marine, infantry and commando units moved into the city and, after wavering all night, declared their loyalty to him. Outmanned, the paratroopers fled. When a throng of civilians advanced on the palace waving "Diem Must Go" signs, the pro-Diem marines fired point-blank into the packed crowd, killing at least six and wounding dozens. Colonel Dong tried to flee aboard a DC-3 but was forced down and captured...
