A scuffle with a few of the pickets followed and there were some arrests. The only person who was hurt was Heck and he did that by cutting his finger breaking his own window. In any sane situation, the authorities would have charged the people with nothing more than disturbing the peace pr maybe disorderly conduct. But not the IRS Armin Moths, another one of the San Diego 10, was arrested, indicted and convicted for assault, conspiracy and attempting to rescue seized property. Moths is a building contractor, a Harvard graduate, class of 45, a father of 10 children and a member of the John Birch Society as well as being a lieutenant commander in the Naval Reserve and a candidate for on the The SANTIAGO, CHILE. coalition supporting .President Salvador Allende picked up several new seats in yesterdays election, turning back a bid by the moderate-conservatiopposition to expand its majority control of congress. While retaining control of both houses of congress, the opposition failed to win the two-thirstrength it had hoped to achieve to impeach the Marxist leader or at least be able to overturn presidential vetoes. Its a triumph for Chile, for its fjr Democratic institutipns, ve ds its program," insisted former President Eduardo Frei in a speech from the balcony of his Christian Democratic party headquarters early today. There were late-nigvictory rallies by both sides on the Alameda Bernardo O'Higgins, Santiagos main boulevard, and police and troops fired round after round of tear gas to keep the opposing groups apart. ADDITIONAL SEATS By then, official but incomplete returns had made it clear that the opposition had kept its majority hold on Congress, but that ty Allendes Popular Unity coalition had picked up additional seats and proved that it still has a popular base of support despite the serious economic problems that beset the country. With less than half the votes reported, the over-a- ll tally in the Chamber of Deputies races showed the opposition, grouped as the Democratic Confederation, with 759,371 to 630,144 for Popular Unity, which is dominated by the Communist and Socialist parties. The percentages were 53.6 to 44.5 with a splinter party and invalid ballots accounting for the rest. TOPS 1970 PERCENTAGE Later returns were expected to diminish the Popular Unity percentage, but it appeared likely better than to exceed 40 percent forecast and Allendes a rise from the 36.3 percent he received in the 1970 presidential race. He won that over tw American Independent Party ticket last fall. If he and his fellow convicts were driven to a picket line, it was, as he says, wbecause people are saying, Look, we know were being robbed but we dont know what to do about it. Writing Congress and the President is useless. " Free speech protests may work, but Moths has found out, as the Left did before him, that it can lead to police officers saying some strange things about you on the witness stand. It can also lead to the political use of the Conspiracy Act, probably the single worst law in the U.S. Code. The only reason these men (and they include several plumbers and a couple of' chiropractors as well) can be convicted is because they attended various political meetings during which this protest was planned. Thus they can be prosecuted if somebody they dont know comes up on the picket line and throws a punch. That the IRS would go after them with such brainless energy suggest the tax revolt may be more widespread than we have guessed. Johnnie Commissioner Walker, of ht six-par- the Internal Revenue, even flew into San Diego last month to make a speech calling for prison for all tax evaders. So perhaps the resistance is growing. Right-win- g people out here tell all kinds of stories about folks banding together to fight off the revenooers. Theres quite a grass roots movement growing, says Moths, here, in Utah, Oregon and Washington State. 1 don't know about the East. If there isnt a movement, the IRS is going to create one. They may have wanted to make an example by this case, but what they have made is martyrs.

Unofficial estimates were that the governing coalition picked up two Senate seats and 7 to 10 in the Chamber of Deputies. Before the voting, the combined opposition held margiifS of 32-1-8 in the Senate and 93-5- 7 in the Chamber. All 150 Chamber seats were at stake but only half of the 50 Senate seats were. Frei, the Christian Democrats' leading hope for the presidency in 1976, was elected to the Senate from Santiago Province. So was Sergio Onofre Jarpa, chairman of the rightist National Party, which Christian joined the Democrats and three splinter parties to mount a unified challenge. A MAJORITY ANYWHERE The oppositions victory claimed was summed up by Frei in his balcony speech. He said 5 1 percent represents the majority opinion of arW country, and therefore Allende and his Socialist program had been repudiated.
