Allende to push Chilean nationalization of ITT holdings
Chilean President Salvador Allende told a torchlit rally he would ask Congress to nationalize ITT assets valued at about 200 million dollars. ITT, owning 70 percent of Chile's largest telephone outfit and hotels, faced prior government talks that broke down, with ITT seeking 153 million while the state offered 23 million. Expropriation insurance backed by OPIC covers about 100 million of ITT's Chilean investment.
