Widow claims Allende's death
due to murder by military forces
SANTIAGO (AP) Chile's new
military " junta, apparently in firm
control, eased restrictions and turned its
attention to the nation's economy
yesterday.
Meanwhile, the widow of deposed
President Salvador Allende fanned new
controversy about the coup and her
husband's death, which the ruling junta
claims was suicide and others say was
murder.
From exile in Mexico City, Hortensia
Bussi de Allende asserted that her
husband was killed by the military
forces that overthrew him.
The junta has maintained that Allende
shot himself in the mouth with a
submachine gun given him by Fidel
Castro, and when she arrived in Mexico
Sunday Ms. Allende had said she
believed those reports.

Course evaluation slated
By STEVE OSTROSKY
Collegian Staff Writer
University - Council yesterday
approved a general outline for a course
evaluation questkinnaire with the
understanding the Council
subcommittee could change the
questionnaire if necessary.
The questionnaire, presented by
Ronald Harshberger from Beaver
Campus; consists of three parts:
—the first will contain the same
questions for 111 University students;
—another will contain questions which
the various - colleges and departments
may raise; and
—the last will be available for
questions - by the individual instructors.
Charles J. Smith, director of Ogontz
Campus and newly elected vice
chairman of the Council, said about 100
questionnaires were sent to the
University Division of, Instructional
Services from various University
colleges and departments_He said the 33

Ms. Allende fie* to Mexico City last
Sunday with two of her three daughters.
There was no explanation of why she did
not have information from the daughters
at that time that Allende had not taken
his own life.
Ms. Allende said soon after arriving in
Mexico City that she believed the junta's
version that Allende had committed
suicide
One of Allende's daughters who flew to
Mexico City, Maria Isabel Allende de

Excelsior as saying that a bodyguard

This means shoppers only will be
urged not to buy . non-union lettuce
or grapes or thosf products bearing
a Teamsters Union label.
A secondary boy'cott, one asking
shoppers to refrain from
patronizing the store as a whole, is
being avoided now because of new
management at the State College
A&P; Weintraub said. The store has
been subject to a secondary boycott
in the past.
Local involvement in the boycott
began in February 1973. The boycott
began on a national level in 1970, as
a reaction to the struggle of farm
workers to become unionized in the
United Farm Workers, under the
leadership of Cesar Chavez.
A&P stores have been a continued
target because they have refused to
take a stand in the conflict and they
sell non-union and Teamsters
products, Weintraub said.
When. picketing began in
February, Weintraub said
Teamsters lettuce, is not grown

Teamsters lettuce as being "scab

"We're asking people not to buy
lettuce bearing the Teamsters
label," he said. What shoppers
should look for is the black eagle of

Smith said the Council would work
with a subcommittee of the Faculty
Senate's Committee on Academic
Advising and with UDIS in selecting
specific questions for the final
questionnaire.
Smith said the Council committee
hopes it will be able to cut down the
number of questions.
Smith said, "Our aim is to develop a
questionnaire which will be common in
one part throughout the University The
Council is hoping the questionnaire will
be widely adopted."
Asked when the questionnaire would
go into effect, Smith said,- "The Council
would like to see the project used this
term, but we are not sure if we can."
Smith said he hopes the specific
questionnaire will be ready by the next
Council meeting Oct. 4.
No decision has been reached on
whether the course evaluation

only will be used again this year, Smith
said. He said the 'Council is

Tw ifother men allegedly present at
the end were quoted as giving the same
version in the Mexican magazine
Siempri:
In a deport from Santiago, the
magazine quoted Jorge Uribe,
subdirector of the Office .of
Revolutionary Information under
Allende, describing the last moments: .
"We were shooting machine guns
against tanks. There was no chance.
They were going to take the palace. We
were crying.
"Allende was still okay. He took me by
the arm and said, `TrS , to get away. You
are young and can continue the fight. All
of you out. I will stay.' "
The Siempre article said Allende was
wounded when he ran to a window
the UFW, he said.
Weintraub also explained there is
a distinction between the types of
lettuce involved in the boycott. The
only kind affected is iceberg lettuce.
Shoppers supporting the farm
workers struggle are asked to buy
endive, chicory, escarole, romaine,
bibb, Boston. or leaf lettuce, or
iceberg lettuce with the UFW label.
The management of A&P is being
asked to commit itself to selling t
only union lettuce and grapes or
none at all, according to Weintraub.
With the beginning of local support
of the boycott, other area grocery
stores such as Weis, Riverside,
Acme and Dean's all agreed to try
to get union products for their
customers. The University also
made the same commitment.

contracts ban the use of chlorinated

Court decision expected
Tape settlement fails
WASHINGTON (AP) The White
House and the special Watergate
prosecutor told a federal appeals court
yesterday they had failed to reach a
compromise settlement on access to
presidential tapes recordings.
The U.S. Court of Appeals had
suggested the compromise and failure
between the two parties to agree set the
stage for an expected showdown on the
courts' right to compel President Nixon
to surrender the tapes.
In nearly identical letters to the clerk
of the seven-member appeals court, both
parties said they had met on three
occasions this week and regretted to
advise the court "that these sincere
efforts were not fruitful."
v-----• i
They said they had agreed to say
nothing about their discussions beyond
the notification to the court which had
set yesterday as a deadline for response
to its suggested compromise.

The court had proposed that both sides
explore the possibility of permitting
special prosecutor Archibald Cox to
listen to the tapes and determine what
portions were essential evidence for the
Watergate grand jury.
The letters disclosed that Cox and J

death when the military entered the

"I am absolutely sure he did not
commit suicide," Ms. Allende said in the
interview. "I think he was murdered

received.
Ms. Allende also said she believed the
United States helped trigger
the revolution by financing a 47-day
truckers' strike which sapped the
nation's economy in the weeks before the
military takeover.
She offered no proof of any U.S.
involvement.
The State Department labeled the
charges "absird" and further denied
that any agency of the United States,
including the Central Intelligence
Agency, played any role in the coup.
In Santiago, spokesmen for the new
military government called for a return
of private investment to Chile's five

YS disagrees with YSA views
Socialist fight develops
The means for obtaining the goal of
socialism was a major conflict between
the Young Socialists and the Young
Socialist Alliance last night at the first
YSA organizational meeting, at the
University.
"We are here to smash them. We are
here to drive them off campus," David
Keller, a YS member told The Daily
Collegian after the meeting.
"We defend their right to organize but
we fundamentally disagree with
everything the YSA says," Keller said.
Asked if he thought the two Socialist
groups could ever work together, Keller
said, "It's impossible."
"We (the YSA) are going to unite with
them (the YS) on the issue of
presidential harassment at their
October 3 rally," Bill Donovan, a local
lawyer helping to organize the YSA at
the University, said.
"We consider them a sectarian group.
We are more concerned with putting the
word into flesh," Donovan said. "It's a

Agnew investigation expected
WASHINGTON (AP) There were
increasing signs yesterday that the
stalled federal investigation of Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew is about- to
start again, either before a grand jury or
in a court fight.
As the federal grand jury
investigating allegations of political
corruption iii Maryland met again under
strict secrecy restrictions in Baltimore,
sources reported that U.S. Atty. George
Beall was in Washington.
Beall, who is directing the gfand jury
probe, had been reported here on several
occasions during the week, a departure
from his routine of work in Baltimore.
Newsmen also could not recall a time
when he was absent during a grand jury
session.

Fred Buzhardt, special White House
counsel, had met Monday and Tuesday
and that a final meeting was held
yesterday.
Participants in the final meeting,
which lasted several hours, included
Cox, Buzhardt, Prof. Charles Alai
Wright, special legal consultant to the
President fort= the tapes case, and
Leonard Garment, White House counsel.
The failure to reach an out-of-court
settlement left it to the appeals court to
decide the ca_ seon the constitutional
issues raised.
When it suggested the parties try for a
compromise; the court had cautioned its
suggestion should not be taken as an
indication of how it ultimately might
rule.
Whatever decision is forthcoming is
considered certain to be appealed to the
Supreme Court. Nixon has said he would
abide by a definitive decision from the
highest court but he has refused to
discuss what he would consider a
definitive judgement.
The long battle over the tapes entered
the courts last July when Cox
subpoenaed the recordings of nine
presidential conversations about
Watergate.
After considering written and oral
arguments from both sides, U.S. District
Court Judge John J. Sirica ordered the
President on Aug. 29 to give him the
tapes to hear in private so he could
determine if the President's claim that
they should be kept secret was valid.
Both the White House and Cox
disputed Sirich's ruling and asked the
court of appeals to change it.
Local okays contract
DETROIT, Mich. (AP) The first
United Auto Workera local union to vote
on ratification of a proposed three-year
contract with Chrysler Corp. approved
the pact by a wide margin.,
But Local No. 444 President Charles
Brooks in Windsor, Ont., yesterday said
about half the workers failed to cast
ballots.
Returns from the 10,000-member local
showed about 82 per cent of those who
voted approved the pact.
The vote opens the way for Windsor
plants to resume operation over the
weekend.
Only two others among the 69 Chrysler
union locals scheduled votes yesterday
and there was no immediate report on
their actions.
Most of Chrysler's 127,500 workers
represented by the United Auto Workers

be completed by noon Sunday.

Keller said he was "really disgusted"
that the YSA called workers reactionary
and did not bring up the issue of tuition
hikes at the meeting. He said the YSA
will work for a student's "primary fith of
tuition and lack of jobs."
Four of the approximately 20 students
who attended the organizational meeting
were YS representatives and at least two
were Homophiles of Penn State
representatives.
Harvey McArthur, chairman of
University of Pennsylvania's YSA and
Socialist Workers Party candidate for
City Controller in Philadelphia, listed
some of the things the YSA supports in a

Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richardson, who has
assumed over-all responsibility for the
investigation. Agnew's lawyers declined
to accept or return telephone calls from
newsmen.
Richardson decided last week to
permit evidence related to Agnew to go
before . the grand jury but postponed
deciding the difficult constitutional
question of whether a vice president can
be indicted before he is impeached. It
has been reported that Richardson
wants to hear what witnesses against
Agnew testify under oath before tackling
that decision.
It also has been reported that Agnew's
attorneys plan some court action to
prevent evidence relating to the vice
Cox wanted the court to order the
tapes given to the grand jury or to allow
him to listen to them along with Sirica.
The White House maintained its
position that under the Constitution the
three branches of government are equal
and therefore the courts have no power
to force the President to obey a judicial
order.
The Senate Watergate committee also
has filed suit seeking White House tapes
and documents. Sirica yesterday
scheduled oral arguments on that suit
for Oct. 1. The White House is scheduled
to file written arguments Monday.

Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy
pleaded innocent yesterday in Los
Angeles to state charges of conspiracy
and burglary in connection with the 1971
break-in at the office of Daniel
Ellsberg's psychiatrist.
A public defender was appointed to
.represent Liddy after he told the court
he had no money to retain a lawyer.

The UAW struck Chrysler at midnight
last Friday, costing the nation's third
largest automaker production of more

Chrysler said the strike is costing it
more than $3l million daily and workers
are losing $5 million in wages daily.
A contract offer was announced
Monday by company and union
bargainers just 63 hours after the strike
began.
Major items in the offer include limits
upon mandatory overtime, pension
increases from $5OO to $7OO monthly over
the next six years, full retirement
benefits after 30 years, and wage boosts
of three per cent annually plus an added
12 cents per hour in the first year.

YSA does support it and listed some of

the YSA could organize the University's
black students when there is so much
dissent among them, McArthur said in
other places blacks had organized when
they found a common goal. .

it related to Agnew and also to discuss
with Justice Department officials how to

the probe.
In any event, some action was
expected shortly, possibly next week.

Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren told
newsmen that no one is pressuring
Agnew to resign with President Nixon's
