For the third time in three weeks
Bolivian troops seem to have come off
second best ?in a clash with guerrillas
in the rugged highlands of southeast
Bolivia.
.The success of these guerrilla
bands against the army could spark simi-
lar activity in other parts of the coun-
try. The latest incident is also likely
to increase bickering among Bolivian
officers whose nerves are already raw
over the poor showing the troops are
making.

De Gaulle has agreed to go to Rome
in May for a summit meeting with the
chiefs of the other five member states
belonging to the European Economic Com-
munity. De Gaulle is going on the con-
dition there be no fixed agenda, a tac-
tic which gives him room for maneuver
to undermine support for British member-
ship in the Community.
One bit of bait De Gaulle may use
is a new offer of French cooperation on
the ever-popular concept of European
political unity--without Britain.
Damascus, inspired by the conces-
sions on pipeline royalties extracted
last month fromHIraq Petroleum:Company
is now putting the squeeze on the Ameri-
can-owned Trans-Arabian Pipeline. This
line runs from Saudi Arabia through Jor-
dan and Syria to the Lebanese Mediter-
ranean coast. According to Damascus
Radio, Syria has asked company represen-
tatives to come at Once for talks. Nego-
tiations will not be easy.
Our surmise that Moscow might get A
civilian minister of defense turned out
to be wrong. Marshal Grechko was halted
Soviet minister of defense yesterday. He
is a 63-year-old professional soldier
with a knack for trimming his sails to
the prevailing winds from the Kremlin.
Grechko was, for instance, a great
Khrushchev supporter, even when it meant
selling out old army comrades.
Grechko will do what he is told and
is not likely to make any early changes.
