Food-price protest erupts after Walesa's appearance
GDANSK, Poland — Trunchen-weiding riot police chased Solidarity supporters through the streets of Gdansk yesterday during a demonstration by 3,000 people that erupted after former union leader Lech Walesa appeared at a special mass.
The mass at St. Mary's Cathedral was celebrated by Cardinal Glemp, the Polish primate, who earlier met with Walesa and hailed the bravery of the people of Gdansk.
Chanting "Down with food price hikes" and "There is no freedom without Solidarity," a crowd of 3,000 surged from the cathedral through the streets of the Baltic seaport toward the Lenin Shipyard, home of Solidarity.
It was not known whether any protesters were arrested.
The police turned back the crowd as it neared the shipyard and then chased scores more who tried to break through to a monument dedicated to workers killed in previous uprisings.
Talks continue on Hong Kong lease
LONDON — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is willing to concede control of Hong Kong to China when Britain's lease runs out in 1997 on condition the Communists allow the colony's commercial life to continue unchanged, yesterday's Times said.
Negotiations on the future of Hong Kong, a key international financial and manufacturing center, have been under way for a year between London and Peking but the details of the meetings are secret.
Britain acquired the 35-square-mile island from China in 1841. Other islands and the 355-square-mile New Territories on the mainland were leased from China in 1898 for 99 years.

About 20,000 Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees will be moved from their camps near border zones in Honduras by the United Nations to make way for U.S. military maneuvers, relief sources said yesterday.
Three refugee camp workers, who requested to remain anonymous, said the U.N. High Commission on Refugees, which oversees the camps, has already agreed to move the 20,000 refugees to make way for the exercises.

The workers said the refugees threatened to return to El Salvador before they would allow themselves to be moved to the Honduran interior.
U.S. official killed in airplane crash
GUATEMALA CITY - An assistant U.S. military attache and 10 Guatemalans were killed in the crash of an air force cargo plane 15 miles north of the capital, Guatemalan authorities said yesterday.
The Guatemalan military spokesman identified the American as Robert Prescott, 34, from Ohio, serving as assistant military attache at the U.S. Embassy.
The Guatemalan plane crashed in flames late Saturday 20 minutes after takeoff from the capital's Aurora military airport on a regular supply run to the northern Peten province, Guatemalan military officials said.
Guatemalan officials said the crash was caused by a mechanical failure in the Israeli-made Arava transport plane.
Soviets said to have built new subs
GROTON, Conn. — The Soviet Union has developed new classes of submarines in an apparent attempt to build a "blue-water navy" and challenge the United States naval capability, said Sen. William S. Cohen, R-Maine.
Cohen made the comments Saturday at the Electric Boat shipyard during launching ceremonies for the Augusta, a nuclear-powered attack submarine.
"It is clear that the Soviets are building a blue-water navy in order to project power to distant lands and to be in a position to challenge our naval capability whenever they see it expedient to do so," Cohen said.
Intelligence sources expected to see two or three new classes of Soviet submarines. Three new classes did appear — the Oscar, the Alta and the Typhoon. Two additional classes, the Mike and the Sierra, also surprise intelligence sources by being ready sooner than expected, often said.
rescued boy's condition improves
CHICAGO — A 4-year-old boy who spent nearly 30 minutes submerged in Lake Michigan's ice waters after a sledding accident one week ago is coming slowly out of a coma with encouraging progress, officials said yesterday.
Jimmy Tontlewiz has opened his eyes periodically since Friday and has moved his arms and legs "a little bit," but is unresponsive to commands, said Children's Memorial Hospital nursing supervisor Marge Maieritsch.
Margie Muster too
Toniewleck, who remained in critical but stable condition, had been kept in a drug-induced coma to control his brain activity so that it would need less oxygen and cell damage might be averted.
Nixon sees new U.S.-Soviet detente
WASHINGTON — Depite recent harsh words between the Kremlin and the White House, the time's ripe for a new U.S. Soviet relationship, former President Richard Nixon said in an interview published yesterday.
Nixon, interviewed by U.S. News & World Report, predicted the new relationship would be "one of hard-headed detente."
Nixon also opposed withdrawal of U.S. troops from Lebanon and enunciated a "Nixon Doctrine" of providing Central American allies with arms and training but leaving them to do their own fighting. But he suggested that supporting rebels in Nicaragua "will not fly."

E. Germany allows six to emigrate
By United Press International
BERLIN — The East German government allowed six East Germans who sought freedom in the West to leave the U.S. Embassy in East Berlin yesterday and cross the border into West Berlin, a West German government spokesman said.
The four men and a married couple entered the U.S. Embassy Friday and vowed to go on a hunter strike until the regime allowed them to go to the West.
The six East Germans, aging from 19 to 43, left the embassy near Unter Linden in three automobiles and drove through a checkpoint in the Berlin Wall to West Berlin, witnesses said.
A U.S. spokesman said the six East Germans left the embassy after the embassy received an assurance that they would not be arrested and could go to the West.
were insisting on emigration to the United States or whether they would leave.
They were accompanied on their trip to West Berlin by Hans Otto Braetigum, mission of the West German mission to East Germany, and Wolfgang Vogel, an East German lawyer who for years has been involved in the "sale" of East German political prisoners to West Germany.
IT WAS NOT CLEAR whether the six
Vogel's presence led to speculation that the West German government had paid a large sum of money to get the maximum government to allow them to leave.
American officials had held delicate negotiations with East Germany's communist regime on the East German request for permission to emigrate.
LAST YEAR WEST GERMANY bought freedom for 1,034 political prisoners. In the last 20 years it is WASHINGTON's largest million for 20,226 political prisoners.
U. S. Ambassador Rozanne Ridgway returned to East Germany Saturday from the United States, but it was not the first diplomatic move in the sensitive diplomatic maneuvers.
Diplomatic sources said East Germany had feared that allowing the six to emigrate might encourage about
500,000 East German citizens, who have applied to leave the country legally, to take similar steps.
NUCLEAR ENGINEERING OPPORTUNITIES
THE SIX, IN A LETTER to President Reagan given to U.S. officials when they entered the embassy Friday, asked for protection from arrest.
The East German media did not mention the case, but East Germans were aware of it as West German officials had also received throughout the country.
