Guevara's death cripples Latin insurrection
LA PAZ — (UPI) — Ernesto "Che" Guevara, beaten and disillusioned in his campaign to stir up Communist rebellion in Latin America, was seeking to escape Bolivia when death caught up with him, his field diary revealed today.
The army said it was burying the 39-year-old Guevara in the remote little town of Vallegrande, in southeastern Bolivia, near the battle site where he was cut down
in a clash with U.S.-trained Bolivian rangers Sunday.
The army predicted the guerilla insurgency he led in Bolivia would be laid to rest at the same time, a theory given support by diary extracts made public in La Paz.
"Guevara's field diary" indicated the guerrillas were fleeing in disarray even before the Sunday ambush that officials said has foiled Fidel Castro's plans to export his brand of communism through the hemisphere.

An expert on the Chinese Communist party, Burton said the rioting is clearly aimed at the British, not at Americans.
"To get to the British offices in Hong Kong," he said, "the rioters must pass right in front of the American offices. They never even stop to throw one tomato."
Meets old leader
Burton spent last year in Hong Kong working with John Chang Kuo-Tao, an early leader of the Chinese Communist party, on Kuo-Tao's memoirs. It will be a significant history of early Sino Communism.
Kuo-Tao, a founder of the party, left the party in 1938 after a disagreement with Mao Tse-tung. Burton met him in Hong Kong in 1952.
"Few of these leaders write their memoirs," Burton said. "It is important that we have these records. They add so much to the bare bones of information that we have about the early days of the party in China."
Serialized versions of the book will be printed in English, Chinese, Japanese and German.
'Great Society sick,' Fulbright says
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Senator J. William Fulbright, in a slashing attack on President Johnson's Vietnam policy, contends that the Southeast Asian conflict is "turning the Great Society into a sick society."
The Arkansas Democrat's charge, made in a Senate speech Wednesday, signaled a new round of congressional criticism of the President's conduct of the war, including a call from Senator Edward W. Brooke, R-Mass., previously an administration supporter, for an end to the bombing of North Vietnam.
Fulbright's speech was a point-by-point reply to Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen's impassioned defense of the President's war policies last week.
While Dirksen had suggested the war effort would protect "the holy fabric of freedom," Fulbright said the fabric of freedom in Vietnam is "threadbare indeed."
"Nor can it be said that this endless and unsuccessful war is doing much to strengthen freedom in our own country," he said.

The excerpts disclosed Guevara only the day before his death in battle tried to bribe a peasant widow and her daughter to show him a way out of the country. His skepticism of the information was indicated by the notation: "They have made many promises, but I have little confidence in them."
Another item in the diary read: "The inhabitants of this region are as impenetrable as rocks. You talk to them but deep in their eyes you note they do not believe you."
Guevara's growing disillusionment with the guerrilla campaign he had led since March was manifest. He complained often of the lack of cooperation being given his small band of insurgents by Indian peasants.
The diary contained detailed references to men of his band and included the name of Regis De-
Jobless rate jumps
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— The unemployment rate for men dropped slightly in September, but a "fantastic increase" in the number of women looking for jobs created the biggest jump in overall unemployment in five years.
The Labor department said Wednesday unemployment for adult men inched downward .1 per cent to 2.3 per cent while the unemployment rate for adult women soared 1 per cent to 4.9 per cent.

Although Debray, captured by the army after a brush with guerrillas, has consistently maintained he was with them only to interview Guevara, the latter's diary noted: "Debray shows great intellectual capacity, but he is deficient in the armed struggle."
Bolivian army sources said the diary contained other incriminating references to Debray, including assignment to various guerrilla missions, and said the textual excerpts would be sent to the military tribunal judging the Frenchman for prosecution use.
