             3.  Administration:  t6/17was paid his salary for February.
        He was unable to sign a receipt because of his vision  problems.

             4.  Production:  Just before his operationLW/l received
        a letter fro.njGuillermo Bedregal which was sent frdm Caracas.
        Bedregal had seen Bolivian Planning Minister Jose Ortiz
        Mercado in Caracas.  Ortiz said that the Bolivian government
        either wanted in effect to work an alliance with Paz without
        the MNR, or with the MNR without Paz.  One idea was  for Paz
        to remain in Lima and.to give his blessings on MNR people  to
        join the government.  Paz had already rejected  the idea of
        Paz without the MNR.  Ortiz told Bedregal that he was  anxious
        to see Juan Lechin Oquendo, who had been in Caracas, but  had
        disappeared.  (He is reputed to have gone.to Europe.)
        Bedregal had seen Lechin a month before he talked  to Ortiz.
        At that time Lechin had said that he would have nothing  to
        do with the Bolivian government.  He was very vengeful  and
        bitter.  Bedregal said that he has become even more radical.
        Lechin said that the was willing to enter into conversations
        ith  Paz.
