Revolt Interrupts Bogota Parley and Miners Pension End Walkout
A chaotic Bogota afternoon following gunfire on Liberal leader Jorge Elicier Gaitan sparked riots, panicked crowds, and a severed relation with Russia. Amid the turmoil a new coalition cabinet formed, while U.S. observers labeled the revolt Communism and the miners welfare fund law shaped the settlement, ending a walkout as the party dynamics shifted in Washington. Wisconsin primary elevates Harold Stassen as a GOP front runner while Dewey, MacArthur, and Taft contest the path to the Philadelphia convention with battles across Oregon and Pennsylvania ahead.
