PINOCHET ORDERED TO RELINQUISH FILES

President Patricio Aylwin ordered former military ruler Augusto Pinochet to hand over records of the disbanded secret police and told the general to keep the army out of politics.

Pinochet was summoned to the government palace Monday and then forced to face taunts from demonstrators and shouts of "murderer!" when his armored car was denied entrance at the palace gate and he had to walk inside.

Visibly angry, he complained about the treatment to a police guard. There was no immediate explanation of why Pinochet's car was turned away.

The right-wing general took power in a 1973 coup and his administration was marked by harsh repression of leftists and accusations of human rights abuse.

Aylwin won democratic elections in December and took office March 11. Pinochet remains commander of Chile's 60,000-member army, however.
