rr f'l i i Tarot Cards Clue The tarot (TARE-oh) deck, dating from 14th century Italy, is the forerunner of modern playing cards. It contains 78 cards and its suits correspond to those of a modern deck: wands-diamons, cups-hearts, swords spades, pentacles clubs. Although the tarot deck has characters corresponding to the kings, queens and jacks of the modern deck, there is no mod nflpd ern counterpart for the knights, the signers of the death note.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -Gunmen shot and seriously wounded Maj.

Gen. Rene Schneider, the army commander in chief, by waylaying his car on a street corner today. Three bullets struck Schneider and he underwent emergency surgery at a military hospital. Doctors said he was recovering. The government responded by declaring a state of emergency throughout Chile, already tense over the meeting of Congress called for Saturday to elect Marxist Salvador Allende President.

The decree allows police to arrest and search without warrant. Allende was among the officials who visited Schneider in the hospital." Allende told newsmen he believed the shooting was "part of a seditious plan that can lead to very painful consequences," and added: "This attempt against the life of Gen. Schneid- by the three commanders not to have anyone call on Allende until after Congress voted. Police arrested Maj. Arturo Marshall, said to be AWOL, after a spectacular but bloodless shooting Monday in a suburb.

Marshall had a rifle with telescopic sights with 400 rounds of ammunition. Allende's press headquarters and police sources charged Marshall planned to assassinate Allende. Marshall was involved in a futile military uprising 21 last year. The dissidents demanded higher pay for the army, navy and air force. Police reports not confirmed by the government said a special squad arrested a retired national police officer Wednesday night on a charge of plotting terrorists activities.

Police said they found a submachine gun, two rifles and ammunitions at his home. er is incredible. Once again, I. want to say that there are people who will stop at nothing, not even assassination." Allende did not identify the persons referred to except to say the assailants of Schneider were "elements who suffer from mercenary fever or are demented." Three automobiles blocked Schneider's car on a street corner in El Golf residential district as he was being driven to his office at the Defense Ministry. The assailants got out of their cars, smashed a window of the general's car and opened fire.

Police said there was heavy traffic on the street at the time, but no one noticed the gunman until the shots were fired. "Some even thought it was a traffic accident," one witness said. Outgoing President Eduardo Frei and senior military officers went to the military hospital. His government immediately invoked security measures and began a hunt for the assailants. The plush El Golf district of Santiago, where the shooting occurred, was cordoned off by police.

There was no immediate indication whether the shooting had any connection, with the presidential election, but it is known that many military men have doubts about Allende. Allende won a plurality but not a majority in last month's presidential election, throwing the contest into Congress. Among his backers are Communists. Frei's Christian Democrats, who hold the balance of power, have agreed to vote for him on his pledge to govern by the constitution. He will be inaugurated Nov.

5. Allende has said he will nationalize the copper industry, now 51 per cent owned by the government, insurance companies, banks, the petroleum industry and communications. The attack against Schneider followed month-long reports of difficulties in the senior military ranks over the election of Allende, who will have power to appoint military leaders. Adm. Fernando Porta Angulo stepped down earlier this month as navy commander.

Officially it was said he quit because of ill health. But military sources linked Porta Angulo's retirement to a disagreement involving the army and air force commanders. Porta Angulo apparently violated an agreement with the other commanders when he authorized four admirals to visit Allende. The four admirals, re-equipment and foreign advisory missions in Chile.

WASHINGTON (AP) Starting with a good-natured exchange of banter, President Nixon conferred with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko today on a broad range of East-West issues. It was Nixon's highest level business meeting with a Soviet leader since he took office and he hoped to sound out the Kremlin attitude toward his "era of negotiations" policy.

U.S.-Soviet relations have chilled recently, particularly with U.S. charges of Soviet-Egyptian violations of the Mideast truce. Gromyko Wednesday denounced the charges as fabrications in a U.N. speech.

Nixon recalled that former West German Chancellor Kon-rad Adenauer had once told him he and Gromyko looked alike. "We should change places and we could get more things done," Nixon quoted the former German chief as suggesting.

Gromyko recalled for Nixon that he had last visited the White House two years ago, when Lyndon B. Johnson was president. But after meeting with Gromyko last Friday and again Monday, Secretary of State William P. Rogers found the atmosphere good enough for a one-hour White House appointment for the Soviet leader. Rogers said Gromyko asked of Russian Jewry.
