Witch business good in Peru, both ways

You can be be-witched in a certain area of Peru, and you can also be de-witched—for a certain fee and a supply of “fire-water.”
That is one of the stories brought back by a young an- the East-west series.

thropologist and his wife, who spent more than a year living with a tribe of Andean natives who still have the customs as their ancestors 500 years ago.
This bewitching business in Peru is serious business to the Aymaran Indians, Harry Tschopik, Jr., native of New Orleans, said. Tschopik, now assistant curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History, said he and his wife, Marion, a native of Boston, were bewitched over an incident involving Mrs. Tschopik.
She is an archaeologist and sought to do some excavation in a pre-Columbian ruin in the center of the Indian town, Chicuito.
Intrusion Resented
One of the women natives had
been using the site to plant a potato crop, and she resented the intrusion, although she had taken money for the plot of ground.
Just the same, the Tschopiks learned later, she took the money and hired a “laiqa,” or black witch, to put the hex on the scientists.
To be-witch a person, the black witch procures a toad, names it after the victim, sews up its mouth, wraps it in some article that has been in close contact with the victim, kills it with a cactus thorn and buries the remains on the victim’s property.

GEORGE C. MARSHALL, ARTHUR W. VANDENBURG, AND WARREN AUSTIN In Rio: harmony, arms, and a slight suspicion
confab hopeful — Hadley
Improvement of relations with all Latin-American countries is seen in the ending of the diplomatic feud between the United States and Argentina by Paul E. Hadley, assistant professor of international relations.
Referring to the conference between George C. Marshall, secretary of state, and Juan A. Bramugalia, Argentine foreign minister, in Rio de Janeiro, Hadley said that the resulting harmony is extreme- t
and more than
'v H‘s | .state and the naming of other military men as ambassadors by the U. S.” Hadley said.
"During tlie war while riding on ancient streetcars badly in need of repair it was difficult for Latin-Americans to be sure that the U. S. was genuinely interested in them when they saw lend-lease trucks and other military equipment on their streets,” lie continued.
“Argentinas record in interna-
ly hopeful expected.”
A state department official stationed in Paraguay during the war years, Hadley went on to say that it is too early to determine what will be the effect of supplying arms to Latin-American countries under terms of the proixj.si'd inter-American defense treaty.
“The people of South America are antimilitaristic and were suspicious ot tl.'*: appointment oi General Marshall to secretary oi; tional afiaus before tlie rise of
Juan D. Peron to the presidency is such that one can believe that they can be trusted," he said. “They have had no wars since 1870 and all their disputes have been arbitrated/'

With th* transfer of power aft*r more than two centuries from British hands to the two newly formed dominions of India and Pakistan, Indian students studying here and at other technical institutions in Los Angeles met last Friday night to solemnize the his-* toric event.
No gay celebrations marked th* occasion, because, as Dr. Oopal S. Hattiangdi, president of the Indian Students union said, the independence of India has been gained at the cost of splitting the huge subcontinent into two fragments.
The Indian Students union is a city-wide organization, comprised of more than 50 Indian students, for the purpose of coordinating their activities.
A Glorious Past Dr. Hattiangdi, research assistant in chemistry at SC on work for the navy department, led th* solemn ceremony, and sounded the keynote of the gathering in his presidential address.
“In the distant past,” he said, “India had a glorious civilization which to as now is but an ancient dream. Let us convert this dream into a song and sing it to the moving sphere. It is to be proud of being an Indian, and it is also to be proud of that we come from a land upon which God has laid His gracious hand and raised messengers of faith, justice, courage, love, and peace like Asoka, Akbar, Shivaji, Kabir, and Gandhi.”
A Glorious Opportunity Dr. Hattiangdi praised the reception the students have been given in the United States and expressed his gratitude for the op-.* portunity they have been given to study here.
“We are now by happy coincidence living for a short space of time in the free country of the great American peoples, and let us snatch this glorious opportunity to learn how to live as a free and honest people, for I believe that it is in us to be good citizens of a free India who can acknowledge other people’s rights before asserting our own; who can be free, truthful, and sincere, in word and deed; who can create the useful and foe beautiful, and who can admire what others have created in love and with faith,” Dr. Hattiangdi declared.
The Pledge He called on the assembled students to pledge themselves to th* service of their country. A typewritten pledge was presented for signature by those in attendance.
“We are young Indians,” Dr. Hattiangdi said, “vigorous and full oi living force, who will be potent contributors to the new civilization of a free and modern India. Leg us join and pledge ourselves to
