Public radio to air Allende interview
Marxist president of Chile, Salvador Allende, recently granted an
exclusive interview to John Wallach, a diplomatic correspondent for
Hearst Newspapers, on behalf of National Public Radio, at his home
near Santiago, Chile.
Chile is the first nation in the Western Hemisphere to have elected
a socialist president; its relations with the U.S. have been strained
since Allende took office in 1970. But talks are scheduled to resume be
tween the two nations later this month, and Wallach says the
significance of his interview is that Allende has openly indicated his
willingness to begin repairing the diplomatic and economic rift.
The possibility of civil war in Chile, ITT’s interference in Chilean
politics, a "possible” connection between the W'atergate break-in and
an attempted robbery of the Chilean Embassy in Washington, are also
discussed along with the class struggles in Chile prompted by political
realignments.
KOAC and KOAP-FM, Oregon Educational and Public Broad
casting Service, will broadcast this hour-long program on "Special of
the Week” at 10:00a.m. on Saturday, June 23.
