Her parents drove down from their New York home when police notified them she had been found. She was released from the hospital and returned home with her parents. Brown said Alburger would be arraigned later in the day.

Police said Alburger did not attend the opera, but met the girl on the street shortly before midnight Wednesday. The girl's appearance set off a 60-hour hunt of center city. Patrolman Charles Scull, who saw Alburger and the girl walking down Sansom Street shortly before noon Saturday, recognized the child from her highly publicized description. Police said the girl was first Housewives protest pinch SANTIAGO. Chile (AP) About 300 angry housewives blocked a suburban avenue for three hours and stoned a couple of city buses today to protest food shortages.

Many of the demonstrators had been standing in line all night outside a poultry shop where it was announced chickens would be sold. They got restive when the chickens did not appear. Chicken has become a staple in the diet of Chileans because of the lack of beef. No one was reported injured in the demonstration and police said no arrests were made. The housewives quieted down when two trucks loaded with chickens drew up outside the store shortly before noon.

Police had to supervise the sale to keep clerks in the store from being mobbed.

Capt. Patrick Brown of the Detective Bureau said Francis Al burger was charged with abduction, assault and battery, indecent assault, sodomy and solicitation to commit sodomy. Brown said Alburger, who is presently self-employed in the investment business, had abducted Abigal Esty Finn Wednesday night after she became separated from a group of students and teachers from a suburban institution for handicapped children.

The group had come into the city to watch the opera "The Magic Flute" at the Academy of Music. Philadelphia police combed the city looking for the lost child, who, because of her autism, is virtually unable to communicate with the world outside herself. Brown would only say that "from what he (Alburger) told us she was with him from Wednesday" until Saturday when Alburger and Miss Finn were observed walking down a center city street by a patrolman. Autistic children frequently do not associate other persons with their total appearance, identifying them only by ont characteristic. It has been theorized that Miss Finn became separated from her student group by following someone she mistakenly thought was one of her teachers and then became confused when she reached the sidewalk.

Russia launches satellite MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union launched a Molniya communications satellite Saturday to transmit television programs to remote regions of this vast land.

The news agency Tass said the satellite becomes part of the Orbita satellite communications network. It will relay programs from Moscow's central television studios to the far north, central Asia and far eastern Siberia. The satellite also will be used for long-distance telephone and multichannel radio communisations. Tass reported. The satellite has been put into a highly elliptical orbit with a high point of 24.355 miles in the Northern Hemi- sphere and a low point of 292 miles in the Southern Hemisphere.

This permits the satellite to stay most of the time above the earth's Northern Hemisphere, where it will be doing its relay work. It takes Moiniya 11 hours and 43 minutes to make its loop around the earth. Tass said. The plane of the orbit was at 65-degree angle to the plane of the earth's equator. The the satellite's instruments "are functioning normally" Tass reported.

AFL-CIO no-fault drive WASHINGTON (AP) The AFL-CIO urged its branches around the nation Saturday to work to defeat what it said is an attempt by the American Trial Lawyers Association to undercut efforts in Congress for a national no-fault auto insurance law.

They will "seek" through well financed and well organized lobbying efforts, the passage of the weakest possible state no-fault laws in order to undercut the necessity for federal legislation." Biemieller said. No-fault auto insurance would remove auto accident damage cases from the courts, providing payment for damages no matter whose fault the accident was.

"No-fault insurance has again been introduced by Sens. Phillip A. Hart, and Warren Magnuson. D-Wash. We fully intend to seek the passage of this important consumer measure in the 93rd Congress." Biemiller wrote to all state AFL-CIO presidents.
