By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — Poland accused the United States and the outlawed Solidarity labor union yesterday of conducting subversive operations aimed at destabilizing the communist nation.
"The United States is playing a key role in the organization of the world system of subversive operations against socialism, including the socialism in Poland." Henry Dankin unspecified department in the Interior Ministry, told the official PAP news agency.
Dankowski alleged that "the imperialist subversive and espionage centers" in the West have been using Solidarity to destabilize the situation in Poland.
DANKOWSKI CHARGES came, a former top Solidarity official said, in a letter obtained yesterday that he is being tortured by prison authorities trying to force him to give up a hunger strike.
"I resist being fed by force so they overpower me, handcuff me and open my mouth by means of tortures and a special lever," said Andrzej Slowik in a letter smuggled out of Barcewo prison in northern Poland.
Slowik, who was Solidarity leader in the province of Lodz near Warsaw, went on a hunger strike on March 20 together with another union official, Jerry Kropiwicki, to make the grant them political prisoner status.
"The guards twist out my arms and head and a doctor or nurse try to put a lever between my teeth." Slowik said, adding that five or six policemen
aided by a doctor and a nurse make up the force-feeding team.
SOLIDARITY, THE FIRST independent union in the communist bloc, was outlawed and later disbanded following the imposition of martial law in 1985. Communities had then organizing underground activities against the regime.
Dankowski told PAP that nine months after martial law was lifted, Poland's internal situation was still "unstable."
He criticized Radio Free Europe, the U.S. government radio station based near Munich, West Germany, which broadcasts Polish language programs.
Dankowski named the Solidarity Coordinating Office in Brussels as the union center involved in the fight against Poland's communist government.
important it is, how fragile it is and how we must preserve it."
Sees said, "What Bill was trying to say was that people who enter our country, who have an opportunity to participate in our economic system, are much more fortunate than people living in other nations."
Seese said Coors had since offered to resign to protect his 10,000 employees, 13 percent of whom are minorities, or the economic consequences of any boycots.
THE PETITION ASKS the Kansas Union Memorial Board to stop buying
Seese said that he was "uncomfortable" with Coors choice of words but that he understood what Coors meant in using them.

Coors met with the press and some members of the audience at the plant the day after the speech, to apologize for his choice of words, Seese said, and he apologized when taken from them. He said Coors had apologized on several other occasions.
Coors, and to prohibit use of board money to buy Coors products. The petition also asks the board not to sign contracts with Coors or to participate in any "joint gathering" with any organization sponsors or that serves Coors.
Seese said after the vote that he would have to check with Coors officials to confirm the invitation a committee members to visit the company was still open.
IF THE COMMITTEE had tabled action on the petition, Seese said that Coors would have paid for a delegation selected by the committee to travel to the Coors plant and spend two or three days working with Coors officials and employees.
However, the committee voted 14 to 10 against such a motion. Tabling the petition would have delayed consideration of it until fall, when the Minority Affairs Committee would meet again.
By passing a resolution tonight to boycott Coors, based on the remarks you heard Bill Coors make, what would your purpose be? "Seese asked. "Do you want to see Bill Coors die or see his company die?"
LaDale George, who has persisted several KU student groups to boycott the brewery, said, "I'm satisfied with the work we did and I am an open mind to unanswered questions."
George said that the primary question left unanswered, even after hearing the tape, was whether Coors meant the words he said.
"And I can only find that out from Mr. Coors himself," George said.
ROSS PTACEK, co-chairman of the committee, said, "I think that the problem with tabling it until the fall was the feeling of this committee that the committee needed to act expediently."

Earlier, the Libyan government called for British police to end the London siege and "to allow the employees of that office to circulate on the streets," which he has vowed revenge if the embassy is stormed.
British police said negotiations over the London standoff were "proceeding slowly, calmly and patiently." Police spokesman Richard Wells said a Libyan intermediary was helping in the like.
"Fresh supplies of food were allowed in and it was ingredients for a Middle Eastern meal to be prepared according to Islamic customs," Wells said. The provisions included lamb, fruits, eggs, cigarettes and detergents.

But he said that he was not sure if the caucus system was fair.
"This is a question for the states to decide," he said. "I've done very well in primary states, and I've done very well in caucus states. I do not believe there is any intimidation. Anybody who thinks Missourians are going to be pushed around, don't know Missourians very well."
