DIV former SeQa- Sonstahuhe nroWn.
tor Luis Carlos Prestes, Moscow
trained agent, had completed plans
for an uprising in the agricultural
districts of that country.
The uprising was scheduled to
take place last week. The plot
leader in Sac Paulo, former COM
munist Deputy Mauricio Grabois
was taken into custody along with
so other top-ranking plotters. Mr.
Prestes, for whom federal police in
Rio de Janeiro obtained a warrant
is in hiding, but his arrest is ex-
pected soon.
In Santiago officers of the In
vestigation Service-which Is COM
parable to our FBI-also uncovered
a plot to start q, Chilean revolution
this month. 1t was planned to
begin with mining and railway
workers in the coal, nitrate and
copper areas.
Swede Directed Movement.
The organizer Of that abortive
uprising was Bjorn Hedborg, a
Swede, who arrived in Chile in
1945. Hedborg Is a paid agent Of
Moscow and an expert in explosives
Under pressing examination he ad-
mitted that he had been ordered
by the Politburor to begin militant
action in his territory not later
than June.
The Communist plans were set
back greatly by the Chilean gov
ernment's decision to put an end
to the Reds activities. Govern
ment offices-and particularly the
police-were thoroughly purged.
The outbreaks in Paraguay and
Colombia are reported to have been
