...shooting of the army commander, the Chilean capital was gripped by the tightest security ever imposed in the country's history. Streets were cordoned off and police helicopters hovered overhead. In this atmosphere of tension and anxiety, the Chilean Congress last week confirmed the victory of Dr. Salvador Allende Gossens as the world's first freely elected Marxist President...
Annual Poll. Despite opposition from conservatives to the Canadian formula on Taiwan, Italy may become the next nation to establish relations.

A Mexican television worker described one popularly held belief last week: "If Allende chooses to be a thoroughgoing Socialist, the Chilean army will decide, with a big wink from the U.S., that its sacred duty is to oust the man." There is no doubt that Washington is deeply distressed by the prospect of a Communist Chile. Ranking Administration advisers predict that a Communist country on the South American mainland would have far more influence throughout the hemisphere than Castro...
