Mrs. Allende would be accompanied by about 120 other persons who have taken asylum in the Mexican Embassy. A special jet aircraft, sent by President Luis Echeverria of Mexico, received permission to land in Santiago early Friday, and probably will depart the Chilean capital some time Saturday, Martinez told the newsman.

It became a mass of smoke, with the smell of dust and destruction. Hands Off, Laird Told Warren said there was no great difference between Laird and Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz, who blasted the deferred tax plan from Tokyo and advised Laird to keep his cotton-pickhands off economic policy." Warren also said Shultz was still the President's chief economic adviser, the same as always, and he added that he assumed the Treasury secretary was also the administrations chief economic spokesman. Asked why in that case Shultz apparently was not informed that the White House was about to broach the tax plan in public, Warren replied that "Sec retary Shultz was involved in very serious negotiations in Tokyo at the time. See Quiet Burial With skeptical reactions to the tax proposal also coming from key members of Congress, the indications were that it would be quietly buried. chairman Rep. Wilbur Mills, of the IKu.se Ways and Means Committee, said he didnt think the President was even close to making such a recommendation." The earliest Congress could approve the plan is next year, Mills added. The deferred tax would take money out of taxpayers pockets during inflationary periods and return it in the form of tax rebates once the economy had cooled off. g Todays Chuckle Parents are people who bear child! en, s bore and board newlyweds. teen-ager- Raps Second Plan Mills also said he was unalterably to a second proposal which opposed Laird said Nixon was considering for a variable investment tax credit rate to be set annually by the President with the approval of Congress Nobody views it favorably, said a UAW spokesman.

A person should have the right to decide for himself. Slavery is over! The strike did not affect nearly 600.00 workers at General Motors and Ford, where contracts with the UAW were extended indefinitely. Talks with Chrysler will resume at 11 a.m. Saturday, Woodcock said. There were matters of economics, substantial unresolved problems in health and safety, voluntary overtime and a broad range of other issues, he told a news conference. Woodcock said the two months of negotiations at Chrysler were the most, complex in the union's history, partly because they delved into such uncharted areas as voluntary overtime and auto plant safety. Union representatives sang Solidarity Forever, their theme song, as the strike announcement was made. Chrysler spokesmen said they didn't think either side was at fault for the strike at the nations third largest automaker. It wasn't any one issue, Chrysler Vice President William OBrien said. It was a number of issues outstanding. Were going to start tomorrow morning and work as long as it takes to reach an agreement. I hope that will be an early date," OBrien said. The union told the 11,00(1 salaried workers it represents at Chrysler in cross picket lines and go to work Saturday. The striking workers receive hourly wages. He gave no precise time when consumers will feel the higher prices. But the councd indicated that it would be soon after Sept 25. The council said the nation's retail gasoline dealers and home heating oil dealers will receive forms to submit price, cost and profit information that will be used to justify boosting the ceiling.
