SANTIAGO, Chile (A) - Cit-
ing national interest, the mili-
tary junta expropriated ITT's
controlling stock in Chile's tele-
phone company yesterday, add-
ing another chapter to the U.S.-
based conglomerate's tangled
involvement here.
The International Telephone
and Telegraph Corp. valued tne
holdings at $153 million three
years ago. An ITT spokesman
in New York said the expropria-
tion yesterday was a "legal,
technical step" to reacik agree-
ment on compensation and tIat
it stemmed from a decision
"favorable to the comoany
which upheld ITT's $95 million
insurance claim."
IN A decree, the junta author-
ized the economy minister to
negotiate compensation for the
expropriated ITT stock in the
Compania de Telefonos, a mono-
poly controlling Chile's 400,01)0
telephones.
Sources here said the 3ecree
legally defined the status of
ITT's 71 per cent majority share
in the company because "some-
thing must be expropriatai be.
fore there can be any co-open
sation."
ITT was accused of trying to
block the 1970 election of the
late President Salvador Allende,
the only freely elected Marxist
chief of state in the Western
Hemisphere, including offering
the CIA $1 million in funds ITT
denied it.
ALLENDE, who was toppled
by the military in a bloody coup
on Sept. 11, 1973 and died the
same day, had pledged to build
a Socialist state in Chile through
democratic means.I
But he dredged up long-forg)t-
ten laws to take over vast areas
of private enterprise without re-
sorting to actual expropriation
and nationalization, with the ex-
ception of nationalizing h u g e
U.S.-operated copper mines for
which he paid no compensation.
Rather he "intervened" in pri-
vate firms after alleged com-
plaints of workers about labor

BOSTON (A) - Decoy buses
and lines of charging policemen
were used yesterday to spirit
black students out of South
Boston High School as about
1,000 angry whites hurled mis-
siles.
Several police officers were
injured by bricks, stones, cans
and other flying objects as they
led the police charge in front
of the school, which was closed
earlier in the day after a 17-
year-old pupil was knifed.
A NUMBER of civilians in the
area also were injured, wit-
nesses said.
An undisclosed number of
white youths and adults were
arrested, police said.
After police cleared whites
from in front of the school, four
school buses rolled up to the
front door. But the 132 black
pupils who had been inside were
led out a side door to other
buses.
THE MOVING of the black
students climaxed a day of ten-
sion that started when a white
student was stabbed at the
school. A black youth was ar-
rested in connection with the
incident, police said.
The School Department order-
ed all South Boston schools in-
volved in court-ordered busing
for desegregation closed for the
rest of the week, hoping for a
cooling-off period to relieve ten-
sions.
