Cwt. In it was stated that Augusto r
Otte, Sales,
on the editorial staff of the Coramunist-dominated magazine Pro-Arta,,
had been dismissed from the University of Chile for Coswnmist activities,)
Subsequent information has revealed that not Augusto, but one Juan Antonio
Orre ;o Sales is the music critic of this magazine and a professor in the
National Conservatory of Pusic, a dependency of,the University of Chile.
Different versions exist as to why subject was discharged frown, and sub-
aequently rehired by the 216tionn1 Conservatory of T.:usic. it was first
reported that his Communist activities caused his dismissal, but it was
later stated that he had been discharged because of his disrespect toward
the policy and tradition of the Church. A second source reported that
Orrego sales was the victim of rivalry between Conservative Party members
belonging to the Social-Christian and Traditionalist factions within the
University.
Information now available indicated that both of these later versions may
be partially true, There is reason to believe that Orrego Sales is not
a Communist, and, though a mombor of no political party, he leans toward
the Social-Christian faction of the Conservative Party, He is somewhat of
a Oparlor pink", but openly repudiates the Corunvnist Party of Chile because
of its servility to the interests of Soviet Russia, He is wont to arGue
in favor of a return to the primitive oomrnirism of the early Christians,
