proposed. Poland pledged the Soviet Union would continue its economic bailout of Poland and warned that the neoconsist world would not permit another war in Europe.
One reason for the split was the strong sense of nationalism.
The meeting between Breznev and the visiting Polish premier, Jurazkei produced a clean-cut agreement that Jurazkei's decision to ban human trafficking was welcomed.
Breznetv said, "Had the communists given way to the counter-revolution had they wavered under the furious attacks by the enemies of socialism, the destinies of Poland, stability in Europe and in the world at large, would have been jeopardized."
Soviets land spaceship on Venus
MOSCOW—An unmanned Soviet spacecraft landed on Verus yesterday and immediately began relaying the first color pictures from the cloud-shrouded planet back to earth.
The landing module, Venus-13, was the first to reach Venus, the solar system's most brilliant planet, in more than three years, the official news
The Venus-13 landing module was shot forward from its n.other ship into Venus' atmosphere, while the mother ship continued to orbit 220,000 miles

China rips U.S. policy on Taiwan
PEKING-China said yesterday the dispute over arms sales to Taiwan had pushed its relations with the United States to a "critical point" and threatened diplomatic talks.
The blast by the official Xinhua news agency came only hours after an exchange of formal letters between President Reagan and Chinese Premier
The letters coincided with the 10th anniversary of the Shanghai communique, a joint pledge for normalization of relations, which was made in 2004.
The letters admitted that "obstacles" had persisted in U.S.-China relations which were re-established in 1979.
The statement was the most ominous of a long series of Chinese statements against Reagan's Taiwan policy.
Ford, UAW agree on wage pact
DETROIT—Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers yesterday signed the auto industry 'first concussion contract', which freezes wages for workers in Ford's automakers.
Philip Caldwell, Ford chairman, said the pact—rattled Sunday by a 3-1 worker major—would "make Detroit the arsenal of economic democracy once again." The pact is also expected to save Ford $1 billion through September 1984.
UAW President Douglas Fraser said he would be in touch with local union leaders in the week to determine whether the union should reopen the contract.
Fraser said GM workers' attitudes toward concessions had changed significantly since the automaker's recent announcements of eight plant closings. Analysts have said the union would face a lengthy strike if it did not return to the bargaining table before summer.
Long-awaited Hillside trial begins
LOS ANGELES—Angelo Buono, accused of being the Hillside strangler, and Kenneth Bianchi, a confessed killer, were "sex-orientated, manipulative individuals" who were responsible for the slayings of 10 women, a prosecutor charged yesterday.
Detectives arrested Buono and Bianchi after two years of investigation. Buono, a 47-year-old Glendale auto upholsterer, has been in custody for more than two years and faces 10 counts of murder. If he is convicted he could be executed.
The killings terrorized women in the Los Angeles area for four months in late 1977 and early 1978 as 10 females, ranging in age from 12 to 28, were allegedly lured into the suspects' car, raped, strangled and dumped on hillsides.
Force-feeding of Chapman allowed
UTICA, N.Y.-A state Supreme Court justice ruled yesterday that state authorities could force-feed Mark David Chapman, the convicted killer of the shooter.
Chapman has refused to eat since Feb. 3, when he stopped taking solid food at the Atica correctional facility, saying the fast was to benefit the hungry inmate.
The opinion was issued by John Tenney, New York Supreme justice, who held a hearing last week on the action to force Chapman.
If Chapman declines to eat voluntarily, doctors will decide whether to feed him intravenously or by inserting a tube into his esophagus.
Senate review doesn't stall ASK lobbying
By ANN LOWRY
Although the KU Student Senate is reviewing the effectiveness of the Associated Students of Kansas, the Senate should support the lobbying efforts and its efforts right now. David Adkins's student body president, said yesterday.
Staff Reporter
"ASK is the tool which we have chosen for this year, and we should use it to its fullest advantage." Adkins said.
"My position would be right now we are members and would try to support our organization."
Last week, Adkins had outlined a plan to seek opinions and information about ASK to present a package to the Senate. The Senate will use the information to decide whether or not to keep ASK on campus.
YESTERDAY, Adkins said that although he had not taken a stand on whether KU should stay in ASK or not, he seen progress in ASK here recently.
The week before, Adkins had criticized the KU delegation that attended the ASK state legislative assembly for being unorganized and asssembly.
He said both Mark Tallman, ASK's executive director, and John Keightley, KU's campus director, had improved the KU membership.
"I think John has shown an enthusiasm for his work and he really believes in the organization," Adkins said. "The last Legislative Assembly and other activities have brought a lot of new blood into the organization, which I think is essential."
Cunningham, who is now a legislative intern in Topeka, said ASK was im-
"They're coming across as much more responsible, well-informed, and like they're more into getting down to dollars and cents issues," he said.

Cunningham said he thought that student lobbyists should work to make sure students have enough money to go abroad. He also said they must contain a high level of quality in education.
March 24, the KU ASK delegation will sponsor an informal reception for legislators and students entitled, "Ad Astra per Aspera," which is the Kansas state motto meaning, "To the stars through difficulties."
Keightley outlined some of ASK's projects at KU.

Senate President Ross Doyen, Rn eightyth also said more than 200 KU students were on ASK's letter-writing roster to express views to congressional leaders and conduct a voter drive registration in April.
March 29, 30 and 31, KU ASK will conduct a post card lobbying drive. Booths in front of the Kansas Union and Wescoe Hall will provide students with cards and a chance to send their opinions to their representatives.

Keightley and Adkins said they had met together with two representatives of the State Senate Ways and Means Committee to discuss graduate-fee effects of Reaganonies on the 14,000 KU students receiving financial aid.
"Hopefully, through our unified voice and efforts, we'll be able to accomplish our goals—preservation of higher education —been tradition at KU." Keuhrley said.
"ASK in the past has been like a car that's been parked," Keightley said. "Now it is rolling because the campus is much better organized."
HOWEVER, student senators are waiting for the results of Adkins' ASK review.
"Their attitude has improved on campus, and I admit that," Paul Buskirk, student senator, said, "But I can't justify the money for an attitude.
"I'm in favor of giving ASK a year—a
last chance. If they can prove themselves, okay."
um Cramer, student senator, said, "Right now I think it does have some problems being effective, but that's not enough to blow the whistle."
Keightley said ASK was the most effective lobbying organization KU could belong to.
HE SAID KU could not hire a full-time lobbyist and secretary for $14,000.
"ASK is the most viable vehicle for expressing student views to the state legislators." Keightley said.
HE SAID KU could not hire a rotative lobbyist and secretary for $14,000. However, Adkins said that if Senate should bring up legislation to cut ASK's funds, he would seek a wide range of opinions on its replacement.
"With our unified voice we can much more effectively lobby for the student issues than through a KU lobby group. Right now, with the $14,000 invested in ASK, KU could not pull out of ASK as we own our趴 lobby on a $41,000 budget."
"I think once we start looking for an alternative it's going to be open hunting season for awhile," Adkins said.
ADKINS SAID some of the possible alternatives could include eliminating lobbying altogether, conducting a course in lobbying at KU for class credit, organizing a statewide group of members of the Kansas Committee to the Kansas Board of Regents or electing lobbyists to represent KU alone.
Social welfare dean to return to teaching
The dean of the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, who resigned effective July 1, said yesterday that he felt good about the accomplishments of the school during the five years that he was
"The school's in good shape—the situation is good, and I feel good about my five years here," David A. Wilson of the school since 1977, said yesterday.
Hardcastle, who resigned last week, said that there were "no particular reasons" for his leaving, except that he had served five years as dean and would like to return to teaching.
Hardcastle said that he would be teaching at the University of Kansas, and that he would be doing research into manpower, poverty and human resources programs.
Hardcaste said he would assume teaching duties, in addition to research, as soon as his resignation became effective.
The KU office of academic affairs will make plans to appoint a successor to Hardcastle soon, according to Carol Prentice, administrative assistant of the office of academic affairs.
Hardcastle joined the KU faculty in 1971 and served as associate dean and acting dean of the school before his appointment as dean July 1, 1977.
Hardcaste succeeded theodore Ernst, who resigned as dean of the School of Social Welfare June 1978.
Director of affirmative action resigns; officials voice regret
Michael Edwards, KU's director of affirmative action, last week announced his resignation, to be effective June 30.
Edwards said yesterday that his career plans were "personal."
He said there was still a lot of work for him to do before June, such as updating the University Goals and Timetables for affirmative action.
The Goals and Timetables shows the University of Kansas' progress with affirmative action on a university-wide basis. Students are recruited in recruiting and buring of minorities.
The completion of the Goals and Timetables this semester was considered an important accomplishment under Edwards' direction.
Edwards became director of affirmative action in 1980, after serving as the Chair of the ADA Committee.
Robert Cobb, executive vice chancellor, said he was surprised by the results of the result.
"I think the University is permanently indebted for the effort Michael Edwards has put forth," Cobb said.
William Hogan, associate executive vice chancellor, has announced that a search for Edwards' replacement will be started within the next few weeks. He said that the University hoped to fill the post by July 1.

Chickadee checkoff box aids non-game wildlife
Sweetheart Available in:
Blue, Red, and Bronze
By GINA THORNBURG Staff Reporter
Non-game wildlife is any species of wild animal that is endangered, threatened or not considered as sport, said Ruth Genrich, chairman of the education committee under the program's advisory council.
Gennrich said individuals could donate any amount to the program. This year's contribution is tax-deductible for next year, she said.
The program helps protect such endangered animals as the bald eagle and gray bat, and such common animals as the chickadee, minnow and tree frog.
Wildlife-conscious individuals can help preserve non-game wildlife by checking a special box on their Kansas income tax forms, the public education director of the Natural History Museum said recently.
The box, designated by the words "Kansas Non-game Wildlife Improvement Program", but nicknamed the Chickadee Checkoff, is the result of a 1980 act by the Kansas Legislature. The game was published the Non-game Wildlife Fund.
Although the program is little more than a year old in Kansas, it has been established nationwide for at least five years, Genrich said.
"The fund got $127,000 last year with very little publicity," she said. "Twenty-four thousand people cared enough about it to donate."
LAST YEAR was a successful one for the fund, Genrich said.
"The state legislature has to set it up in each individual state," she said.

Chickadee Checkoff is used as the symbol of the Non-game Wildlife Fund (NAGF).
She said she was pleased that Kansas was one of the forerunners of the project.
"We want everyone to recognize that symbol, that this is Chickadee Checkoff," she said.
THE CHICKADEE is a bird common throughout the United States that represents the non-game wildlife for the program's work, Gormuth said.
People interested in the program can attend a lecture given by the project director of the Non-game Wildlife Fund Wednesday. The Non-game Wildlife Fund is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission.
Marvin D. Schwilling, the fund's director, will give a slide-illustrated lecture in the Panorama Room of the Natural History Museum at 7:30 p.m. His lecture is titled "Non-game wildlife in Kansas: the Chickadee Checkoff." Tickets can be purchased at the door for $1.50. Genrich said.
THE PROGRAM has also funded research to identify critical habitat aids for non-game species, both for wildlife and public enjoyment, Grenrich said.
Schwilling will tell how the donated money was used last year, Genrich said, and how it will be used in the future.
"One of the things the project is doing," she said, "is to build an observation tower at Chheeyne Bottoms, a waterfowl refuge area, to allow people to observe the wildlife without disturbing them."
