Memorial erected for Poles
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — The government has discreetly erected a 12-foot marble cross in memory of 4,000 army soldiers who died in a World War II massacre blamed by some Poles on the Nazis but by others on Soviet troops, disident sources said yesterday.
The monument was erected in the Warsaw Powazki Cemetery about a week ago. The unveiling ceremony took place in complete secrecy, apparently to avoid drawing crowds and attention to the event, the sources said.
Poles had gathered for years near the area where the monument was erected. A sympathetic tomb for the Polish army soldiers, who were taken prisoner by
Soviet troops in World War II and, according to witnesses, shot to death by Soviets in 1943 in the Katyn Forest in the Soviet Union.
A MASS GRAZLE containing the bodies of the Polish soldiers was found years later. The Soviets and their blamed each other for the execution
The Polish government has blamed the Nazis for the massacre. In keeping with the official line, the inscription at the foot of the marble cross reads, "To Polish soldiers, to the Poles, to the fascists who are buried in Katyn."
One Pole who visited the cemetery, however, scoffed at the inscription blaming the massacre on the Germans.
"The monument met the demands of millions of Poles," he said, "but not the inscription under it."
In another development yesterday, seven Polish dissidents began a hunger strike in Glogowice, about 75 miles west of Warsaw, to protest the imprisonment of three officials of the outlawed Solidarity union as well as the government's recent statements critical of the Catholic Church.
The statement released by the strikers called on Poles to start similar protests in other churches across the country.
"Our hunger fast is a protest against the campaign of hatred led by the Polish authorities against the church and some clergymen," the statement distributed among Western press said.
"It is also a protest against the stepped-up reprisals against Solidarity activists and democratic opposition," it said.
Vietnam captive returns to U.S.
By United Press International
NEW YORK — William "Bill" Mathers arrived home yesterday after 8½ months captivity in Vietnam.
The bearded Mathers, appearing tired but physically fit after stepping off a jet at John F. Kennedy International Airport, said he was well fed and not mistreated, but had to undergo constant questioning.
There were 54 interrogation sessions, most of them lasting for more than one hour and I was
required to produce about 50 written statements for them," said Mathers, a project manager for an international marine construction firm.
The Locust Valley, N.Y., native was the captain of an 80-foot schooner that was captured on the coast of Vietnam last July. Mathers said the boat was 36 miles off the Vietnamese territorial limit.
Following an emotional reunion with his parents, Myra and William Sr. Matters told reporters that on Monday they met at the University I was willing to sign a statement that
I was on an intelligence-gathering mission.they would let me go.
"If I didn't sign the statement, I would get three to five years in prison, there would be confiscation of my boat and I would have a public license."
Mathers said he refused to sign and about a week later the Vietnamese asked him to spy for them. He refused.
He was released April 4 after his father paid the $10,000 "fine" demanded by Vietnam. His $200,000 schooner and its equipment were confiscated.
