New Violence
Erupfs in Chile;
Deaths Put at so
: Government Blomes
Leftists in Rioting
Against Initiation

SANTIAGO. Chile, April 3 up.
New violence erupted in San
tiago today in defiance of emer-
gency military law clamped on
the entire country to stamp out
anti-inflation rioting.
About 1000 Chileans attacked
police and army troops in the
heart of this capital city, where
last night rioting, punctuated by
frequent army fire, left scores
OF dead and wounded.
The mobs. defying a govern
ment order to remain indoors,
tried to storm the doors of the
Pan American Bank and were
driven off after heavy army gum
fire. The rioters tried to over
whelm the soldiers, then fed as
the soldiers opened fire.
The rioters stoned the exclu-
sive Club de la Union and club
members who had rushed to the
balconies. Automobiles in front
OF the club were destroyed.
Street Lamps Smashed
Practically all street lamps in
the heart of the city were
smashed. Traffic signals were
destroyed. ornamental grills were
torn from windows, and traffic
police booths were smashed and
burned.
The government closed all
schools for an indefinite period.
The riots followed a week of
turbulent demonstrations, mostly
led by students, against Chile's
runaway cost of living. Unoffi-
cial reports placed the death toll
as high as so.
President Carlos Ibanez, in
a nationwide, post-midnight
broadcast, warned the popula-
ton he stands for energetic
use OF arms, whatever the con-
sequences, to put down the vio-
lence.
A government decree, read
over a nationwide radio hookup,
announced a state of siege - a
form of martial law. The govern
ment blamed the rioting on in

May 6 Hearing
AFL-CIO Group
Notifies Beck
By CECIL HOLLAND

The AFL-CIO Ethical Prae-
tees Committee today notified
the Teamsters Union It will be
given a hearing on May 6.
The committee, headed by
A. j. Hayes. president OF the
international Association of
Machinists. has been instructed
To investigate the Transfers and
determine whether the union is
dominated and controlled sub
stantially by corrupt influ-
ences."
The notice Of the May 6 hear
ing was in the form of an off,
cial letter sent by Mr.. Hayes to
Dave Beck. president. and John
English. secretary-treasurer of
the Transfers.
Probe Is Ordered
The letter said the committee
was proceeding with the inveS-
tigation ordered last week by
the AFL-CIO Executive Council.
1t pointed out that under the
AFL-CIO constitution the union
was entitled to hearing.
The development came as
troubles mounted for Beck. both
outside and within his union.
His own l.5-million-member
union. the largest in the country,
was adding to the cup of bitter
tea brewed for him by Senate
investigators.
On top of that. Treasury
agents. after a long inquiry, re-
ferred to the Justice Department

OF more engaging significance
however, were the rumblines of
discomfort among the reamsters
over revelations that the o.
lyear-old labor leader may have
played a bit loose with union
fundS--and his resort to the
Fifth Amendment to avoid ex-
planning his actions to Senate
investigators.
Counter Drive Restricted
One of the fruits of that dis
content apparently was a sue
cesSful move on the part of Mr..
English and other Teamster
leaders to trim down Beck's
announced plan for a 81 mil
lion public relations cam
paign to tell "our side of the
story"
Beck announced the program

home after two days of invoking

vestigating wrongdoing in labor

He slipped back into WASH
