A Fascist uprising was put down today after four hours fighting in which artillery and machine-gun fire threw the city into panic. Young Chilean Nacistas (Fascists), in a surprise attack, seized the university and the 10-storey Workers’ Assurance building, commanding the Presidential palace. Carabineers faced a blaze of revolver fire, but, after artillery had broken down the doors, the majority of the Nacistas surrendered, more than 80 being arrested, including General Carlos Ibanez, the Nacista candidate for the Presidential elections to be held on October 25. The Government announced that 58 persons were killed. The Nacistas form a political party with aims and objects borrowed from the German Nazis.
