Scattered fighting was reported still in progress in San Cristobal's

streets, and a "small pocket of die-hard rebels" still held the Bella Vista Hotel, but loyal forces held most major installations in the city.
Ramon J. Velasquez, secretary to President Romulo Betancourt, said loyal civil forces had taken possession of the San Cristobal garrison buildings and the radio station which had been the principal voice of the revolt.
A broadcast over the recaptured radio station appealed for military aid to silence the rebels in the Bella Vista Hotel, who were firing on the station.
Pro-government congressman Carlo A. Perez said over the Sam Cris-

tobal radio that, except at the hotel government forces were consolidating positions throughout the city.
Perez, who is a member of Betancourt's democratic action party, urged the government to protest to Colombia for allowing the revolution to be launched from its soil.
He also asked that an official investigating commission be sent from the capital to determine exactly which Venezuelans were responsible for the uprising.

In the words of an anonymous KU professor, "Now that we've all had a good rest, we can all dig in and really hit it." Sure! It has been rumored that we had a vacation. Those of you who enjoyed it so much that you are already planning the next one will be glad to find a vacation trip designed to ease troubled minds all planned out for you. It begins on the cover (a fold-out job thanks to an eager advertiser on the inside cover) with a color shot of Lover's Leap (Tennessee's answer to jumping off the Campanile).
Inside, beginning on page 80 and running for 12 pages of beautiful color, then three more pages of black and white, you'll find the highlights of a 4,000-mile drive through six Southeast states. Included in the package deal is one of those figure-covered maps which indicates — among other things — that a small range of mountains in Alabama is covered with a giant picnic table, that there is a green-haired mermaid somewhere off the coast of Florida and that Grandfather Mountain resembles a Micaalangelo sculpture more than a mountain. If you're serious about the thing, there are eighty (count 'em 80) points of historical interest and significance marked out for the bewildered tourist. Regardless of your travel plans, it makes a good piece of vicarious vacation and excellent daydream material for a rainy April afternoon.
If earth travel seems too mundane for our times and your blood, you'll find what you're after on page 47. We did it. Last week we launched successfully three rockets. The story brings you up to date on what we can get off the ground these days.
Eventually it had to come. This is the week and 50 is the page. You guessed it — a timetable telling who's got what up there and what it's doing. A little less complicated than an enrollment schedule, it gives everything but passenger pickup points for some thirteen named and numbered satellites.
While we were out dying Easter eggs with Bun Rabb, the French were playing cops and kidnapers for real. In a picture story that rarely accompanies the crime of kidnaping in this country, the return of the victim and the relief
of frantic parents are graphically recorded.
The GSP flag may fly at half-mast today. Yul Brynner, America's greatest boon to the bald head since Benny, has taken a bride. Unfortunately for all, there is little to be seen of the happy couple. Take heart, though, it's a great shot of the wedding cake. And you know what Freud said about sex, food and things like that.
Hail, sports fan. This is your week. Those of you who saw the AAU swimming meet on the tube a few weeks ago will remember those races that were shown from under water. Page 69 marks the beginning of five pages of shots taken from that little window under water.
But that's not all. Arnold Palmer has become the world's top golfer through his recent victory in the Masters tournament at Augusta, Ga. Those of you who have patience enough to play the game will find it interesting to see how a champ looks — and most of all — what he thinks of when the chips are down.
Once more we turn to the many in the M-D set with an offering of interest. Carnegie Hall, long the epitome of the musically accomplished, has been threatened with death as the concert center of New York moves to the new Lincoln Center. The story of Lylah Tiffany, a tenant in one of the many studios in the Hall, is a little-known facet of the life of this auditorium institution. Wrapped up intimately with the great building are the lives of its tenants. The pictures and story are a frightening testimony to the economic perils and pitfalls of life in the arts.
Old politicians, it would seem, fare better than old musicians. Not really so old, except in experience in the game of politics, Leonard Hall, G.O.P. national chairman from 1953 to 1957, takes a strong look at the change in "politicking" in the U.S. within a half century of extreme technical advances. An excellent bit for the avid voter or poli sci major, it is an excerpt from his forthcoming book, "Politics U.S.A."
Well, every week sex gets scarcer. This week, not so much as a plug to play with. However, let me suggest you attach the double spread on pages 20 and 21 just above the foot of your bed. A sure cure on those mornings after.
