Communist newspapers called for demonstrations throughout the country to protest against the "terror, violence and murders instigated by the government" in its efforts to deal with the labor crisis. The party executive committee notified President Juho K. Paasi-kivi that the firm anti-strike measures ordered by Interior Minister Aare Simonen "openly violate the provisions of the peace treaty." (The peace treaty which ended World War II for Finland provides that "disputes concerning the interpretation or execution of the treaty" shall be settled by Britain and Russia, with the assistance of some third nation if the two cannot agree.) THE IMPLIED threat of International intervention was broadcast to the world by Radio Moscow, which quoted the local Communist statement word for word.

20 Russia Saturday issued a virtual call for revolution, in Yugoslavia, and warned the regime of Marshal Tito that "effective measures" will be taken to defend Soviet citizens in his country. Radio Moscow broadcast the text of a new Russian note to Yugoslavia calling on supporters of the Communist Information Bureau to "remove" Yugoslavia's present leaders unless they "admit their mistakes openly." "The Information Bureau does not doubt that the Communist party of Yugoslavia will be able to carry out this honorable task," the note said.

Reports of strange manifestations bothering the boy had been made public previously by the Society of Para-Psychology. It said a Protestant minister interested by the youth's family had witnessed a number of weird phenomena while trying to sleep in the same room with him. In one instance, the society reported, a pallet on which the boy was sleeping slid across the floor and under a bed. In another, it said, a heavy armchair in which the boy was sitting with his knees drawn under his chin tilted slowly to one side and fell over. The Catholic Review, weekly newspaper of the archdiocese, says the boy has been exorcised successfully by a priest after entering the Catholic church.

The Review says the priest involved refused to discuss the case in any way. number of otter in the State, probably not more than 800 and certainly not more than 1,600, was not sufficiently great to constitute a real menance to game fish.

The note urged Cominform followers to "compel their present leaders to admit their mistakes openly and honestly and to correct them or, if the present leaders of the Communist party of Yugoslavia are incapable of doing this, to remove them and put forward a new internationalist party leadership of Yugoslavia." "In all Marxist parties where there is internal party democracy, such a method of changing the leadership is natural and entirely normal," the broadcast said. Western political observers commented that any such change in modern Yugoslavia would almost certainly require the use of force. Today's note was the latest of a series of bitter exchanges between Russia and Yugoslavia growing out of the "excommunication" of Tito by the Cominform little more than a year ago.

Chile Charges Red Attempt To Oust Government Santiago, Chile, Aug. 20 UP Warships were rushed to Chile's vital coastal mining areas Saturday and modified martial law was declared in the entire country to counter what was described officially as the second communist attempt in a week to overthrow the government. The entire naval fleet was mobilized to "isolate and occupy" the coal mines in Conception and O'-Higgins provinces south of here, and the nitrate and copper mines in northern Chile where there are heavy United States investments. President Gabriel Gonzalez Vid-ela said one half of the fleet was sent south at dawn and the other half to the north.

An official statement said the outlawed Communist party was "continuing to develop with increasing intensity its revolutionary plans." It added that communists were counting on a general strike involving hundreds of thousands of government, banking and industrial workers but that prompt efforts by democratic leaders had frustrated the plans.
