UMW returns to bargaining table
United Mine Workers President Sam Church, whose 180,000-member union is preparing for a national coal strike this week, called UMW negotiators back to Washington yesterday in hopes of resuming bargaining with the industry.
Church said he had spoken with representatives of the Bituminous Coal Operations Association and expressed optimism "we can get a meeting".
UMW officials said even if a new agreement was negotiated before the Friday deadline, the complicated process of ratification by the rank and file
Church would make no prediction on whether the industry would soften its hardline attitude against compromise, and said talks would be stalemated.
The union has called a nationwide strike Friday, an action that would halt 44 percent of the nation's coal production. After the breakdown in contract talks last week, more than 12,000 miners participated in wildcat walkouts that shut down coal facilities in seven states.
Uresolved issues include an industry demand that the pension plan be changed from an industry program to company-by-company coverage and a change in the way funds are managed.
The investigation board has given top priority to its review of all test procedures that change the environment on the launch pad or in the rocket after a test.
Accident probe may delay shuttle
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An investigation into the accident that killed a space shuttle worker and critically injured another may delay preparations for the early April launch of the space shuttle Columbia, a Space Agency official said yesterday.
Five technicians were overcome last Thursday when they entered a shuttle engine compartment in which all the oxygen had been displaced by nitrogen. John Bjornstad, 50, died and Forrest Cole, also 50, was in critical condition yesterday.
If the board does not complete its review of those test procedures in time, Harris said; the test will be delayed. That could delay the mandarin orbital spin experiment.
Hugh Harris, chief of public information at the Kennedy Space Center, said the investigation board must review all relevant procedures before a fueling test scheduled for tomorrow could be conducted. The test is to check repaired insulation on the shuttle's outside fuel tank.
Klan wants U.S. inquiry into brawl)
A procedural error of some sort caused the accident, Space Agency officials said. The nitrogen, used to reduce the threat of fire during hazardous operations, should have been replaced by air before the men entered the compartment.
MERIDEN, Conn—Ku Klux Klan leader William Wikinson called yesterday for a Jury investigation of a bloody confrontation at a church in New York and viewed Klan members.
Wilkinson, head of the Louisiana-based Invisible Empire of the Knights of the KKK, said he personally would ask Richard Blumenthal, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, to initiate a probe of Saturday's violence that left 21 people injured, most of them police officers.
Club-wielding police officers wearing riot gear, helmets and gas masks waded into the melee to rescue KKK members.
About 200 protesters hurted bottles, beards and bricks at two dozen white-robed Klansmen who had assembled in this central Connecticut city Saturday to support a white police officer who shot a black shoplifting suspect when the man allegedly tried to run him down with a car.
Twenty-one people, including 16 Meriden police officers, were injured in the fractures. Twenty people were treated and released for minor injuries.
Police said early yesterday that they "were amazed" by the anti-Klan movement and called them a desperate dash from city hall to the safety of cars and police cruisers.
Ford delivers message to Chinese
PEKING—Former President Gerald Ford arrived in Peking yesterday with a secret message from Presidential appointee Amy Wilson; was intended to convey the nature of Sino-American relations.
"It is my belief that the friendship between our two countries is solid, constructive and beneficial, not only to each of our two nations but also to the world as a whole," Ford said at a banquet in his honor after talks with officials.
Ford said earlier in Hong Kong that the message was specifically for Vice Premier Deng Xiapo, who engineered his country's opening of diplomatic ties with Washington two years ago. Ford was expected to meet with Deng as early as today.
The Ford visit comes at a sensitive moment in Sino-American relations because of Reagan's campaign pledge to upgrade relations with Taiwan and because of the possible sale of F-15 jet fighters to Taiwan. China would be able to force the accord that re-established relations between Peking and Washington.
Ford arrived in Peking two days after Reagan and his top aides received China's ambassador to the United States, Chai Zemin, and Ji Chao Zhu, deputy director of the Foreign Ministry's American and Oceanic Department. It was the highest level contact between the two governments so far.
The timing of the Washington meeting and Ford's visit to China suggested to some analysts that Reagan might be going on the course of a longer trip, but he could just be brief.
Panel to hold budget cuts hearings
WASHINGTON—The top Democrat on the House Education and Labor Committee said yesterday that the panel would hold six days of hearings to discuss the budget.
The hearings appear to be an escalation of growing Democratic criticism of the Reagan budget. Until the last few days, Democrats have muted their criticism of the bill.
"This cannot be done legally by Budget Committee action, but that is the method sought by the administration," the statement said.
"The administration's proposals go beyond any rational, equitable reduction of spending into actual dummanagement of programs," the committee chairman said.
The Senate Budget Committee completed its review of Reagan's budget proposal in a frantic three-day session last week. It approved $6.4 billion in cuts for fiscal 1982, slashing the programs it reviewed by $2.3 billion more than Reagan proposed.
That package of cuts is expected to reach the Senate floor Thursday or Friday.
The House Budget Committee, which said it preferred to hold complete hearings on the proposals, plans to begin its review of the proposed reductions.
Green Berets go to San Sl Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador: Twelve Army Green Berets, the final group of U.S. military advisers, arrived yesterday in San Salvador, bringing to 56 the number of U.S. military advisers in El Salvador, U.S. embassy officials said.
Col. Eldon Cummings, the U.S. military group commander, presented the 12 Green Bees to foreign journalists at a 10-minute "photo opportunity" in the capital. Photographers were allowed to take pictures of the soldiers' backs. Reporters were forbidden to ask them questions.
After the presentation, Cummings delivered a short briefing to the men, taking them they are permitted to carry pistols and to use them only in self-defense.
The Green Berets will stay at a local hotel, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said.
Solidarity members remain on strike alert
WARSAW, Poland - The ruling Politburo yesterday accused Solidarity of pushing Poland into "anarchy," and the union called an emergency meeting of its national leadership to consider calling a strike.
The two moves came after government negotiators met for seven hours but then suspended until Wednesday crucial talks to defuse renewed tensions sparked by a police attack on union members.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa described the negotiations with a government team headed by Deputy Premier Mieczysław Rakowski as "one of the loudest the union's national coordination commission would meet today.
"The commission has the authority to make a decision on whether or not to
LATE YESTERDAY the Solidarity leadership issued a communique asking local branches not to stage unauthorized strikes today, and Walesa spent the evening telephoning local leaders to back in the request.
But Walessa told the leaders that their branches should remain on strike alert.
of the Society's regular roll of staff after an announcement issued a statement saying, "In the conduct of the Solidarity independent self-governed union, the upper hand was taken by the tendency to develop activities of a political character, to the development of a constitutional representative and executive organs in their functions.
"This creates a state of anarchy," the statement said.

Echoing the Politburo's charges, Radio Moscow, in a special broadcast to explain the Soviet position on Poland, said Solidarity's leadership would like to establish itself as an opposition political party.
WALESA SAID there was a possibility Premier Wojciech Jaruzelski would go to Bydgoszcz, the three people were seriously injured, when police attempted to remove unionists and some local councilmen
The Politburo said the events in Bydgoszcz and Solidarity's angry reaction "put the country in the face of serious danger."
It said Solidarity members violated the law in occupying public buildings in Bydgoszcz and warned, "State officials cannot and will not tolerate these facts."
Disident Jacek Kuron, a key Solidarity adviser, called the Poliburo statement "a communique in引发 an open war."
the Solidarity meeting a matter "of life or death," Marian Jurczyk, a Solidarity delegation member, said, "The intensity tense. We don't want bloodshed."
In an interview with Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci published by the London Sunday Times, Walesa said he planned to go to the United States later this year to seek political and economic support for Poland
who refused to leave the local government building
Walesa also said he was "deadly tired" and expected his role in Polish problem to decline gradually because of poor health, which includes a heart problem.
