Arrests, surveillance force Solidarity to stop protests
WARSAW, Poland — Former union leader Lech Walesa said yesterday that the Solidarity underground would no longer call strikes or demonstrations because of stringent surveillance and arrests of activists.
But Walesa, closely watched by Communist authorities since his release from detention in November 1982, said that former members of the Communist Party were being killed.
"There will be no more calls for demonstrations or strikes, but peaceful, hardworking operation of the union will continue." Walesa
The 1983 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize spoke to reporters at a baptismal ceremony for the son of a Solidarity leader.
Basques re-elect anti-terrorist party
VITORIA, Spain - The moderate Basque Nationalist Party, which has governed the Basque region since 1980, won parliamentary elections yesterday that were seen as a victory for the government's tough anti-terrorist policy.
But a dramatic gain by the Socialists, who control the central government but always have been weak in the independent-minded Basque region, deprived the winners of their working majority.
The Basque Nationalist Party won 42 percent of the vote and 32 of the 75 parliamentary seats, and the Socialists won 23 percent of the vote and 19 seats, officials said.
Election officials said that, despite freezing temperatures and snow in some areas, the turnout approached 70 percent.
ACLU says civil rights under attack
WASHINGTON — The Reagan administration has undermined the Constitution, Congress and the courts by refusing to enforce all civil rights laws, the American Civil Liberties Union said yesterday.
The ACLU issued a 28-page report outlining a "radical and shameful" civil rights enforcement that "could plunge the country back into the conflict."
"The assault is being led by President Reagan, directed by his White House advisers and carried out by the attorney general and top officials in the Department of Justice," the report said. It listed incidents of assaults against the Housing Act and non-discrimination provisions of federal tax laws.
The Reagan administration and the Justice Department denied the allegations.

A Foreign Ministry announcement said that the news blackout had been ordered to facilitate negotiations between East and West.

Aquino's party votes not to boycott
MANILA, Philippines — the party of slain opposition leader Benigno Aquino voted unanimously yesterday to take part in elections that are considered the government's first electoral challenge since the dissident's death.
Several other opposition parties already have dropped threats to boycott the May 14 elections unless President Ferdinand Marcos surrenders some of his authoritarian powers.
The parliamentary balloting is considered the first important challenge for Marcos since Aquino was assassinated Aug. 21, touching off the worst anti-government demonstrations in Marcas' 18-year rule.
Blacklist papers destroyed by USIA
WASHINGTON — Documents pertaining to the blacklisting of American liberals by the U.S. Information Agency were destroyed to prevent the practice from being continued, a top agency official said yesterday.
The list of 84 prominent politicians, scholars and journalists the agency did not want speaking to audiences overseas included television newsmen Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley.
Cox News Service reported yesterday that deputies to USIA Director Charles Wick ordered the destruction of 135 documents that proved the existence of the blacklist so that journalists would not be able to review the papers.
Prince's girlfriend denies she posed
LONDON — Pictures of Prince Andrew's new girlfriend Katie Rabett allegedly made appeared on the front page of a British newspaper yesterday, drawing heated denials from the woman and her friends that the shots were real.
"I have never posed in the nude, either professionally or for friends," the Daily Express quoted the model as saying. "Possibly some friends have taken toopless photos of me on holiday."
Rabett was said to be the 24-year-old prince's first steady girlfriend since his breakup with American soft-porn film actress Koo Stark several months ago.
Robert Rabett, her father, said he was disgusted that nude pictures of his daughter had been sold for publication.
"The amount of money involved could support a geriatric or feed a family for years."

Hart says he will be Democratic nominee
By United Press International
CONCORD, N.H. — Sen Gary Hart, buoyed by a poll that showed him finishing second in tomorrow's New Hampshire Democratic primary before Monday, said yesterday, "I will win this nomination. I'm absolutely sure."
All eight candidates for the party's presidential nomination stumped New Hampshire yesterday seeking the seat. The state will vote in the nation's first primary.
Hart's new optimism came from a Washington Post-ABC poll that showed Mondale still well ahead with 38 percent of the New Hampshire vote to 24 percent for Hart. But it showed that in all states of Ohio had slipped into third place with 16 percent of the vote. Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson was fourth with 7 percent.
JACKSON, SEEKING TO FINISH third or fourth in a state with a very small black population, changed his schedule to attending meeting in a Manchester synagogue.
Jackson, addressing several hundred people at the synagogue, said that he was not anti-Semitic even though he had once made derogatory remarks about Jews in a "private conversation" that was overheard by a reporter.
Confident he will win New Hampshire, Mondale left the state after church to campaign in Maine and Vermont, the next two stops on the road. He moved to Portland, Maine, he refused to make his prediction about tomorrow's outcome
AT STAKE ARE 22 delegates to the Democratic national convention in July in San Francisco. But for many Democrats the stakes are even higher — who will become Mondale's chief challenger for the Democratic nomination and who will finish strong enough to be able to continue the
The Post-ABC poll also showed that former Sen. George McGovens of South Dakota had 6 percent in New Hampshire; Sen. Ernest Holmings of South Carolina, 4 percent; Sen. Alan Cranston of California, 1 percent; and former Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida, less than 1 percent.
campaign through March 13, when nine states hold primaries and caucuses.
President Reagan has no serious competition for the 22 delegates in the election.
Three of the candidates — Jackson, Hollings and McGovern — went to a forum on hunger in Hookset, N.H., and two gave their cutbacks in federal food programs.
“It’s been said Ronald Reagan is a nice guy,” McGovenn said. “I don’t think there’s anything nice about spending $40 million on an MX missile and then knocking three million hungry kids out of the school lunch program.”
"Reaganism is a kind of reverse Robin Hood program — take from the poor and give to the rich and then give the rich a sense of justification and leave the poor feeling guilty," Jackson said.
Hart said the time was fast approaching when the race would become a contest between him and Mondale because more like a national campaign.
HART CONCENTRATED on making sure he finishes second in New Hampshire. He said he was surprised to see that his chief rival, for second place, are early.
In an effort to sway undecided New Hampshire voters, 350 Hart volunteers canvassed the state during the last weekend before the primary, Hart's deputy state coordinator, Susan Casey, said.
Despite the new poll, Glenn camp
compagined vigorously and refused to
be counted out. "We expect to do considerably better than we did in Iowa,"
