Talks resume to avert postal strike
WASHINGTON-Militant postal unions and the postal service resumed bargaining yesterday with federal mediation, hoping to avert a nationwide mail strike at midnight tonight. Agreement with two smaller unions appeared close.
American Postal Workers president Moe Biller and Letter Carriers president Vincent Sombrotto have threatened to call their 500,000 members on an illegal national strike if settlement is not near when the deadline is reached.
Postmaster General William Bolger has promised to waive federal private express statutes if a strike occurs, to allow other people than the postal workers to deliver mail. The Justice Department has threatened to use all criminal and civil laws available to punish strikers.
Walter Duke, assistant postmaster general, said the post service had not changed its economic package submitted Friday night, calling for a three-year wage freeze, a cap on cost-of-living adjustment and a limit on employer payments for health insurance.
Soviet leaders publicly back Kania
MOSCOW—Soviet President Lenad Breznev送 his congratulations Sunday to re-elected Polish Communist leader Stanislaw Kaiskau but left with an uneasy smile.
than the extent to the Renault's impairment was so confident that "Fraternal friendship" will continue to grow stronger" between the Soviet Union and
After some early doubts about Kania's ability to run the Polish party, the Soviet leaders now appear to have decided to give him their public backing. They appear to hope he can restore the authority of the Polish party battered by a corrupt and dependent, militant labor movement spearheaded by the Solidarity trade union.
But the question that arose after Kania's easy victory at the extraordinary party congress was how far the Soviets were willing to back the 39-year-old leader.
The election of Kania by the 2,060 delegates to the open congress was a historic trial among eastern bloc nations and an implicit challenge to the Soviet state.
Traditional Communist procedures call for the party leader to be selected at a closed meeting of the much smaller Party Central Committee.
Forgetting temporarily its regular denunciations of Solidarity and last summer's strikes, the Soviet press focused on the need for the Polish delegates to draft an economic recovery plan for their nearly bankrupt nation.
Israel continues fire on Lebanon
TEL AVIV, Israel—Iraeli warplanes bombed a string of Palestinian targets and major road links in south Lebanon yesterday as guerrilla rocket and artillery fire slammed into northern Israel for the fourth time in five daws.
The Israeli air assault, the sixth in nine days, continued despite two efforts by U.S. special envoy Philip Habib to convince Prime Minister Menachem Begin to halt Israel's massive offensive, which has claimed at least 300 lives in Beirut alone.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA said at least 13 Palestinian positions were struck yesterday during the two-hour Israeli attack by U.S.-made F-4 pilots.
Israeli artillery also hit six southern Lebanese towns, all within a 10-mile radius of the Israeli frontier, WAFA A said.
State-run Beirut television said initial reports placed the number of casualties in south Lebanon at 12 dead and 30 wounded.
The warplane attack came after guerrillas fired Soviet-made Katyusha and artillery into northern Israel, killing a 14-year-old boy and wounded two.
In the evening Palestinian gunners opened up again and fired a 45-minute rocket barrage at the northern northern coastal town of Naharai, causing destruction.
The Israelis, in an apparent effort to sever supply routes, have heavily damaged highways and bridges with their repeated air raids. State-run Beirut radio said as many as 10 vital southern routes had been destroyed.
Nicaraguan blasts Reagan's policy
MANAGUA, Nicaragua—Nicaraguan junta strongman Daniel Ortega announced a massive confiscation of land and businesses yesterday and attacked the Reagan Administration's "aggressive, dangerous" policy toward the leftist-ruled Central American nation.
Ortego spoke to an estimated half a million people, 20 percent of the nation's population, jammed into Managua's Plaza 19 de Julio. The gathering was organized to celebrate the second anniversary of the ousting of the Anastasia Sompoza family dynasty.
No head of state attended this year's anniversary celebration, which in turn attracted such leaders as Cuban President Fidel Castro and PLO leader Yves Le Djeball.
U. S. Ambassador Lawrence Peszullo lead an American delegation that met with President Obama in Washington, although President Reagan has been invited to attend personally.
Ortega, a former guerrilla commander who now leads the junta of national reconstruction, said Nicaragua was worried about the United States, 'a threat to our sovereignty.'
To chants of "popular power, popular power," Ortega announced the confiscation of 14 major Nicaraguan businesses.
Another measure confiscates all abandoned or underutilized plots of land of 802 acres or more in nine Nicaraguan provinces and plots of more than 1,000 acres.
Refugees transferred from Florida
Ortega said the land confiscation measures will be presented for final approval to the state council, where passage is certain, along with another law to seize the property of anyone convicted by a jury of "counter-revolutionary" activities.
MIAMI-Ninety Haitian refugees yesterday were ordered to federal detention centers in New York and West Virginia in the third such move by federal officials bent on reducing the refugee population in Dade County's overcrowded Krome Avenue camp.
Mike Trominski, Cuban-Haitian project coordinator for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, said 50 members of the all-male camp were headed for Morgantown, W. Va., and the remaining 40 would go to Lake Placid, N.Y.
A total of 178 Haitians were transferred Saturday out of the Krome Avenue detention center west of Miami on two chartered flights. Ninety of those refugees were flown to Big Spring, Texas, and the remaining 86 were held in New York City in a Brooklyn detention center.
Tromsky said 20 other Haitians originally slated to be part of the weekend transfers would be flown out sometime next week.
The trains, ordered by the justice department late Friday, came after a suit filed by Florida Gov. Bob Graham. The suit sought to force the federal government to reduce the Krome Camp's refugee population by about 1,000 inmates by July 24.
He said no more mass transfers were presently scheduled, but added, "I have been advised that the INS is looking into additional space elsewhere."
Hinault wins Tour de France race
PARIS—French world champion Bernard Hainault took the 68th Tour de France in a race away from Paris, with the blessings of wining both stages. Signed a victory in Paris.
"Next year I want to do the double of the Giro D'Italia and Tour de France, which gave fans on a sunny Champs Elysées at the end, of the 3,740-kilometer race.
The race began in Nice on June 25.
Hinault, who last year won the Giro but withdrew from the Tour because of a damaged knee, totaled 96 hours 19 minutes 38 seconds. Second was Belgian Lucien Van Impe who was 14 minutes 34 seconds behind. France's Robert Alban was third.
Professional free-lancer to join journalism staff
After hunting all day in nearly 100-degree weather for a place to live this fall, Laurence A. Jolidan II was still excited about coming to Kansas.
By JULIA SANDERS Staff Reporter
"I think I'll like Kansas just fine. After all, it's only two states away from Texas." Texas said recently.
Staff Reporter
JOLIDAN, A FREE LANCE writer from Austin, Texas, will join the William Allen White School of Journalism faculty for the 1981-1982 academic year as the next Gannett Foundation Professional-in-Residence.
Jolidan will succeed Robert L. Samsot, who will begin working on the Kansas City Times in August.
The professional-in-residence program is funded by continuing grants from the Gannett Foundation of Rochester, N.Y.
Although Jolidan is coming to teach at the University of Kansas with 16 years of journalistic experience behind her, he is hoping to learn something as well.
"I'm very excited about being in Kansas and getting to know the campus and the whole area." Joldain said.
"One of the main things I'd like to get across is the immense responsibility involved in the work reporters and editors do," he said.
While he is at KU, Jolidan said he has some goals in mind for his first full-time teaching job.
"I think that's particularly important that this year's since the last six months have been developments in journalism that have people to question our role in society.
Jolidan, a Tulsa, Okla., native,
received his bachelor's degree in
English and American literature from
Baldwin-Wallace College in Beres,
Ohio, and spent a year as a professional
fellow at Stanford University.
"Those principles that everyone talks about need to be reinstilled. I feel we may be back on the front lines of the worth of the job of journalism."
HE LEFT AN EDITORSHIP at the Austin American-Statesman a year and a half ago to free free-lancing. Before then Joliden was also an editor at the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, Detroit Free Press, Dallas Times Herald and the Texas Observer in Austin.
His reporting career began in 1984 with the Lake County, Ohio, News-Herald, and he later worked as a reporter for Gannett-owned Rochester, N.Y. newspapers and as a copy editor for Newday on Long Island, N.Y.
During 1976-77, Jolidan was a member of the adjunct faculty of the Southern Methodist University School of Journalism. He also taught a newspaper writing course for the staff of KERA-TV in Dallas.
