No Sign
Iron Grip
Relaxing
SANTIAGO (UPI) - Nearly
three months after the military
verthrew President Salvador
Allende’s Marxist administra-
tion, there is no indication the
generals plan to relax their iron
grip on Chile.
Gen Augusto Pinochet, lead-
er of the four-man ruling junta,
made this abundantly clear
several days ago in one of his
toughest speeches since the
bloody Sept 11 coup that
toppled Allende’s regime
“The war is not finished
because there are still traitors
inside and out of the country.”
Pinochet, the commander-in-
chief of the army, said
‘We would be naive if we
were not energetic now and in
the future .And moreover, we
will be relentless against all
those who would betray the
interests of Chile."
Under the new regime,
virtually all aspects of life are
under the influence of the
military.
Several thousand persons
rounded up after the coup on
suspicion of being "Marxists
and extremists" are still
imprisoned and may be tried
by military courts acting in a
"state of war."
Acutely aware of what it calls
the "distorted image of Chile
spread by international com-
munism.” the government has
stopped announcing executions.
lovernment sources said that
is if two weeks ago, more than
1,100 persons, including 70
military, had died in the
fighting and in executions
following the coup.
Several thousand more sought
political asylum in various
foreign embassies and more
than 3,500 left the country
under safe conduct passes
Political parties have been
banned, universities have mili-
tary deans, labor union activi-
ties are prohibited, wages and
prices are controlled, the
opposition press has been shut
down and a nightly curfew still
is in effect.
This week, the government
squeezed the vise another turn
by banning all social reunions
TOL RISTS ARE TOL RISTS everyw here, even in China,
and these young women at Peking s Temple of Haven
know how to get dressed up and enjoy a cool drink as
well as visitors to the Empire State Building do.
not authorized by military
officers.
Although reasons for the ban
were not given, reports had
circulated that resistance
groups were using the parties
as fronts for antimilitary
planning.
None of the junta members
has even ventured a guess of
when power will be returned to
civilians. A new constitution is
still in the planning stages
Kashmir lies in the Hima-
layan foothills between heat-
baked plains and mountains
of eternal snow Four mil-
lion people live within its
86,000 square miles
Thomas Jefferson refused
to proclaim Thanksgiving,
denouncing it as a "mon-
archial practice ”

SPACE PROGRAM LIKKED
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.
(UPI) Lt. Col. Jack R.
Lousma, who spent 59 days
aloft on the second Skylab
mission, reports that the space
program is popular abroad.
in Europe, people are
most enthusiastic," he told a
press conference. Lousma re-
cently returned from Russia,
where he spent two and a half
weeks in training as a member
of the American backup crew
for the 1975 Soyuz-Apollo
mission, the first joint Ameri-
can-Russian program.
He said the Russians "were
free and above board. They
gave us books and films in
English and answered all our
questions. We did some work in
their space vehicle simulators."

Shortage Of
Gas Is 'Best
Thing Ever'
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - At a
pre-Christmas party the other
night Ralph Fortman was
talking about the five gasoline
stations he operates and how
they have been affected by
Sunday closing.
"It’s the best thing ever
happened to me," said Fort-
man
“Everybody and their brother
comes in and fills up on
Saturday They fill their tanks
and they also fill every kind of
container they can carry away.
"At one station my manager
used to pump 1,700 gallons of
gas on Saturday. Now he
pumps 3,200 gallons
"So now we close all day
Sunday and two hours early
every night-9 p.m. instead of
11 p.m. You know what that
Third Grade May 1949
i.
means for me? I’ve been able
to fire all those kookie kids 1
used to have working weekends
and nights They were stealing
me blind anyway.
My overhead, particularly
electricity, has gone down more
than 20 per cent We used to
give away balloons, candy for
the kids, Blue Chip stamps,
road maps Now we don’t give
away anything.
If it is a regular customer
we wipe his windshield and
offer to look under the hood.
‘My sales of oil changes,
coolants, tires, batteries, wind-
shield wipers, sparkplugs,
brake linings are as good as
ever
“The price of our top grade
gas in the last month has gone
from 41.9 cents a gallon to 47.9
cents a gallon and nobody
argues about it I get the same
bulk volume I always got.
"So far as I know the closing
of service stations on Sundays
hasn’t saved a gallon of gas
consumption. Everybody just
fills up on Fridays or Saturdays
and drives as they always did
on Sundays.
"I suppose if you were going
on a long trip, like from L.A. to
San Francisco, and couldn’t
make it on one tankful you
might think again before
starting out
"But I understand that about
25 per cent of the stations on
the main highways, like maybe
to Las Vegas, are staying open
on Sundays anyway. So even
that has not been cut down."
Ralph Fortman is the owner-
operator-franchiser of three
Mobil stations, one Texaco and
one Shell. The oil companies
frown on such multiple opera-
tors so that is why you will
understand his name is not
really Ralph Fortman
But for the rest? Bet on it.
In the spring collection by
Bill Blass the emphasis is on a
new softness for both day and
evening. His hand knit
sweaters, tank tops, and wool
skirts are swingy, soft and
sensational.

The dress is the niain pivot
of spring fashion, forecasts
Eleanor Lambert, of the
American Designer Showings.
She adds "What seems like a
suit is more often a Plese and
jacket, there is, however, a
good show of the nipped and
rounded taillear, with still
more of that look indicated
for next fall.”
