Paraguayans join
forces of rebels
POSADAS, Argentina (API —
Residents here report hundreds of
Paraguayan rebels are slipping
across the Parana River to join
the guerrilla campaign against the
dictatorship of President Alfredo
Stroessner in Paraguay.
Despite claims by the Paraguay-
an government that its frontiers
have been sealed, Brazilian sourc-
es here put the number of new
rebels in Paraguay at 1,000.
Rebel spokesmen said the up-
rising that began Saturday also
involved about 1,000 men, but
some of them have been captured.
Paraguayan officials claim the
revolt was snuffed out within
hours.
The Parana River separates
southeast Paraguay from Argen-
tina and Brazil. Argentine author-
ities here say businesses in Po-
sadas that depend on Paraguayan
labor have been forced to close.
Their workers presumably have
joined the rebels.
Exiles who once were aligned
with Stroessner and later broke
with him are said to be leading
some of the invasion forces.
