GIs still held in Laos, pilot says
SEATTLE—A former Royal Lao air force pilot insists that 40 to 50 American servicemen who served in the Vietnam War are still being held captive by the Communist government in Laos, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported yesterday.
In a copyright story, the newspaper has identified the former pilot as Sayfa Pheasantasan, who now directs the Lao Family Center Inc. in Seattle.
Sayfa said his information came from the hundreds of Laotian refugees who sought services from his agency.
"The people coming to the Lao Family Center tell me that the Communists found many Americans alive in the inmies and have kept them," he said.
Sayfa predicted that the Americans being held captive in Laos would be used for several more years of forced labor.
"The governments there use the Americans to teach them how to fly the airplanes and helicopters abandoned in 1975," Sayfa said. "They also are being used in other ways."
New charges leveled at Donovan
WASHINGTON—There are no plans to reopen the Senate investigation of Labor Secretary Raymond Donnell's alleged links to organized crime, a source told The Washington Post.
However, the committee staff would look into fresh charges leveled against the former New Jersey contractor by five Democratic senators to investigate.
The five Democrats, in a letter released during the weekend, requested that the FBI to reopen its Donovan investigation because of the new allegations.
The new allegations concern Donovan's old firm, the Schiavone Construction Co. of New York, which has constructed a dam from public land and was sold to Schiavone that
A more serious complaint was that reporter Locklin of the Bergen (N.J.) Record had linked Donovan to a purported organized crime figure.
Donovan, who was approved by the Senate 80-17 last week, called the new charges "scurrilous."
The FBI said that it had been unable to substantiate charges that Donovan had organized crime, a dominant topic during his confirmation hearings.
General strike expected in Poland
WARSHA, Poland—Last-minute talks between the government and the Solidarity union collapsed yesterday, and a union spokesman said a general strike by as many as 300,000 workers in southwest Poland would take place as planned today.
A Solidarity spokesman said the erratic negotiations in the southwest province of Jejuia Gora were broken off and postponed without indicating when.
"That means that tomorrow we will go on strike as was planned
previously," he said.
He said about 450 factories, public transport and other services would be affected.
Other strikes and protests were planned today in eastern and southern Poland in support of a rural Solidarity independent farmers' union.
In a move that could trigger yet another dispute between the government and the union, the Warsaw regime said an investigation of Poland's most prominent dissident organization, the Committee for Social Self-defense (COS) showed it was engaged in foreign-supported "anti-state activities."
Both actions came one day before a crucial meeting of the Communist Party Central Committee to discuss Poland's independent unions and "the student movement."
Top government and Communist Party officials have warned with increasing frequency that "anti-socialist" elements in Solidarity were trying to turn the union into an opposition political party.
Nofziger says Reagan to run again
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—One of President Reagan's top political advisers said yesterday that Reagan would seek re-election in 1884.
"If anybody has any doubts about Ronald Reagan not thinking down the road three to four years from now and is thinking, 'Oh boy, I will for president in 1894,' he'd better change his party," Lyn Nofizer told California Republicans on the final day of their three-day convention.
Noziger serves as a White House political consultant and was Reagan's press spokesman throughout the presidential campaign.
"We'll be back in three years with the same guy," Nofziger said. "This man celebrates his 70th birthday doesn't look like it (70), sound like it or act like it."

NEW DELHI, India—Heavy show has driven anti-Soviet rebels from their mountain hideouts into Kabul, turning the Afghan capital into a city of terror for decades.
One rebel group based in Pakistan reportedly has circulated night letter requests that propaganda leaflets slipped under doors late at night threatening to disarm the police.
The U.S. Embassy put its employees on alert last week after such a threat, the diplomat said, but gave no further details.
Tanks manned by Afghaners house intersections and main streets 24 hours a day, and police squads search houses and cars for evidence of collaboration with Madhya Pradesh.
Afghanistan's Moscow-controlled government, angered that foreigners report events in Kabul, is asking U.N. employees to leave.

Senate to hear student budget requests
Approximately 25 people showed up Saturday for a forum designed to educate students on how to participate in University policy-making. Nearly all were already involved in the process as student senators.
Participation in the Student Senate-organized forum was dismal, yet a general student apathy toward University governance, according to its organizers.
"The students at this University have the means to control their own destiny," Student Body President Bert Coleman said. "This year the Senate will allocate half a million dollars from student activity fees, and we can control exactly where we want that money to go."
"But look at the attendance here. Students don't realize how important they can be."
