PLOT AGAINST RULE OF DELIA
LAMA, EXALTED HEAD
OF TIBET REVEALED
By ROBERT CLURMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
NANKING (UP)—Details of an
attempted assassination and* coup
d’etat in Tibet, one of the rare
revolts against the exalted power
j of the Delai Lama, hav** come to
light here. It was described by
Tsipon Shakahpa, head of the Ti
betan trade mission now visiting
Nanking.
Vague rumors of the rebellion
appeared in the Chinese press
last spring but concrete details
have remained locked in the Him
alayan fastness of the earth’s
most inacessible region. This is
the story as told by Si akabpa:
One morning last May a small
sano'alwood box with a sliding
cover arived at the Potala. fabu
lous palace at Lhasa of the 1-i
year-old Delia Lama. It was ad
dressed to the regent, Takdag
Rim, who will rule Tibet until
the Dalai Lama comes of age.
Takdag Rim, however, did not
open the box himself. He gave it
to one of his retinue. As the serv
ant slid back the cover a make
shift grenade exploded', seriously
injuring him.
Plotters Rounded Up
A confusion obtained from a
member of the conspiracy ena
bled Takdag Rim to round up be
tween 40 and 50 priests involved
in the plot. Leader of the revolt
was a monk named Rheting, a
“malcontent” according to Shak
abpa. The monk, he said, had
stirred up opposition to Takdag's
regency in the hope of supplant
ing him as ruler of Tibet during
the Dalai Lama’s boyhood.
Shortly after Rheting's arrest
Shakabpa said, he died of “heart
failure." Two other leaders of the
conspiracy were sentenced to life
imprisonment; the rest were giv
en jail terms of varying length.
The plot against the regent dia*
not include designs on the life of
the Delai Lama, whose sacred
| person is inviolate, The 14-year
old temporal and spiritual leader
of the world’s only theocracy is
the son of an obscure Tibetan
farmer. He was chosen by the

high priests of Tibet to rule his
country in 1937 after oracles had
singled him out from Tibet’s 4,
000,<100 inhabitants as the Delai
Lama.
Search Begins
The Tibetans practice a form
of Buddhism known as Lamarism
in which reincarnation plays a
major role. Thus, when 4ho 13th
Dalai Lama died in 1933, rhe
search for his reincarnated spirit
began. II would be found, accord
ing to tradition, in the body of u
child born at the exact moment
of the Delai Lama’s dcah.
The state oracle at Lhasa and
the oracle at Sam-ye wore con
sulted. Priests were dispatched
I
to gaze into the sacred lake at
Namsto to seek for a portent of
the identity and whereabouts of:
the 14th Delai Lama. On the has-j
is of tile oracular pronouncements j
and an image which appealed in !
the lake the long search began. j
It led through the green valleys
and icy mountain passes of the
ancient land, ending finally at
the tiny village of Anulii in the !
northeast corner of Tibet, two
months mule journey from Lhasa.
There, in the person on a four
year-old child the fourth son of
a peasant named Taka or. the De
lai Lama was found
Put Through rests
Shakabpa said the child was
put through the tests to establish
his identity. He was handed two
cups, one of which he had often
used during his “previous exist
ence' , and asked to choose be-1
tween them.
He was asked to make a similar
choice between pictures, articles
of clothing and even persons
known to him in his former lite,
| questions were put to lest his
familiarity with (retails and inei
I dents of his last reign on earth.
| When the high priests were at
1 last satisfied that the true Dalai
Lama had at last been found, the
child and Iris entire family were
led back to Lhasa in worshipful
procession. The boy was instfdled
in the huge and magnificent Po
tala. where the high priests now
minister to his needs and oversee
his education. His peasant father
mother ana three brothers were
given a palace and large estate
with a liberal income.

if not finer than any yet brought,
to Alaska.
Among the other necessities

President Hale states that ho is

Gateway man was the first to be
refused credit. He tappeo' W. A.
McNeiley in the bank for the
loan of 100 rocks with which to
open an account. Mac answered
with a stony stare and ga%-e the
G-M the marble heart.
