Protests follow nomination
of junta’s presidential pick
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — The mil
itary junta Tuesday picked President
Augusto Pinochet to be the sole
nominee in the presidential referen
dum in October, and violent demon
strations broke out in protest. Hun
dreds were reported arrested and at
least 19 people were hurt.
Pinochet, who commands the
army and took part in the selection
process, had been widely expected to
be nominated by his fellow military
commanders.
Pinochet announced that the ref
erendum will be held Oct. 5.
Anti-Pinochet demon st rations
raged in Santiago and several cities
where protesters hurled rocks,
burned buses and clashed with po
lice and Pinochet supporters.
At 8 p.m., windows opened
throughout Santiago and residents
banged pots and pans to show their
displeasure with the nomination.
The noisy show of defiance was or
ganized by a 16-party opposition co
alition.
A police spokesman, Capt. Alejan
dro Sierra, said 19 people were in
jured during the Santiago distur
bances, which continued into the
night and became increasingly vio
lent.

the injured, one of whom was re
ported in serious condition, Sierra
said.
He said police detained 364 pro
testers who would be held overnight
and then released.
He said they included a U.S. citi
zen, but said authorities would not
release his name or that of any other
people arrested.
He said four public buses were set
on fire and destroyed by demonstra
tors, who also hurled rocks at police.
There were brief clashes between
groups of pro- and anti-Pinochet ci

45-minute nomination session in the
Defense Ministry.
Pinochet later appeared on a bal
cony of the government palace and
addressed about 1 (),()()() cheering
supporters.
He said his years of rule have
been dedicated to forging a Chilean
societv in which a new type of de
mocracy, with tough safeguards
against communism, will he estab
lished.
“ The full democracy that ap
proaches constitutes a new challenge
for everyone,” he said.
If voters approve Pinochet, 72, his
term will run until 1997. II the vot
ers reject him, open elections are to
be held in 1990 and Pinochet will re
main president until then.

It’s the complications that arise

A spokesman for the singer
could not be reached immediately'
for comment, and bis attorney
Barry Slott did not immediately

Springsteen, called “The Boss”
by his fans, is known for such
rock hits as “Born To Run,"
“Thunder Road,” “Because The
Night,” “Rosalita,” and “Tunnel
of Love,” which he dedicated to
Phillips.
