A Treasury Department official said the United States wanted to avoid Polish loan defaults to keep pressure on the Polish government to repay loans.
The Agriculture Department's Commodity Credit Corp., which extends credit to foreign nations for purchase of U.S. farm commodities, is the largest provider of agricultural exports.
Because the administration did not want to declare Poland in default, the credit corporation is paying the loan principal and interest that were due last month.
Under ordinary circumstances, the corporation requires banks to find a foreign nation in default before the U.S. government will cover bad debts.
The New York Times reported that the decision could obligate American taxambers to repay $196.5 million in Polish debt owed to banks this year.

Crash victims' family plans to sue for millions
By United Press International
Walter Metcalf, 70, and his son Leo, 40, pitched out of the jet after skipped off a runway at Logan International Airport Jan. 23 and belLIED into Boston Harbor. They were not reported missing for 72 hours.
BOSTON—The family of a father and son who were "misplaced" and presumed drowned in the Air Ways DC-10 crash will file a lawsuit seeking "millions of dollars" in damages, their lawyer said yesterday.
AS OF LATE yesterday, divers searching the waters around the peninsula runway had found no signs of the bodies.
"We expect the complaint, when it is filed, will have a claim for damages in the millions of dollars," he said. "We'd be making claims for wrongful death and conscious pain and suffering for each of the estates.
Anthony Tarricone, a Boston attorney, said the Metcalf survivors planned to file suit within two to five weeks.
Also yesterday, Civil Aeronautics Board Regional Director Joseph W. Mullin said a cab investigation showed the Metalfajs boarded the final leg of Flight 90 after having been apparently listed as "no show" at the gate.
MULLIN SAID that was why the Metcalfs were unaccounted for during World War II.
"In addition, we expect to make claims for the next of kin for infliction of emotional distress and outrage as a result of what went on after the crash."
Mullin concluded, based on a re-check of World's ticket coupons and the passenger list, that no other passengers could have been similarly misplaced.
Tarrisco said potential defendants in the suit were World Airways, the Massachusetts Port Authority, McDonnell-Douglas, the DC-10 manufacturer and the Federal Aviation Administration.
possible, he said, that they arrived just before the flight took off and "were never removed from the "no-show" list.
He said it would not be known until the evidence was gathered whether one or all of the potential defendants would be named in the suit.
"Where in the system the Metailfs' names were misplaced is impossible to tell." Mullin said.
TARRICONE SAID there was no set damage figure in the suit.
MULLIN SAID part of the confusion over the Metcalfals could be attributed to the 20 passengers who boarded in Newark, N.J. While at Newark, one man boarded without a coupon and there were several instances of the planes flying with borrowed luggage labeled with other people's names.
KU to start program for juco scholarships
Mullin said World Airways complied with an order to turn over all passenger records, was not dilatory or in noncompliance with the unilateralized by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
He added, however, that the transportation board might still investigate if "there were any deficiencies in CAB equipment or record keeping" as a result of the mix-up.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig announced Friday that KU would start a new community college scholarship program this fall.
The program will provide $500 scholarships to two students from each of the state's 20 community colleges for their freshmen and senior years at the University.
THE SCHOLARSHIPS will be funded by the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Budid said the creation of the $40,000 annual scholarship fund was an important step in attracting highly qualified students to KU and in forging stronger ties with all the state's educational institutions.
"THE COMMUNITY college scholarship program assures a broad representation of top students throughout the state and it should promote the state community at all levels between KU and the community colleges," Budig said.
Students applying for the scholarships must have at least a 3.5 grade point average, recommendations from community college faculty, and a record of significant participation at the community college.
Budig announced the development of the scholarship program at a meeting of presidents of the 20 Kansas community colleges.
Evenings at Watkins are always different
By LISA GUTIERREZ Staff Reporter
Raylene Gerkin, registered nurse, sat in the emergency room at Watkins Memorial Hospital on a Wednesday night. It was 9:30 and the waiting room outside was silent and empty.
"Some nights are quiet," Gerkin said as she glanced at the clock warily, hoping that a sudden rush of wouldn't make her words false.
Although a quiet evening may be one in which 10 to 12 people walk into the emergency room, the variety of illnesses and injuries hospital workers see makes each night different.
"On this night we had a kidney infection, a dog bite, a knee injury, pneumonia, severe vomiting, injury trauma, bone and a pain in the eye." he said.
No night is typical at Watkins.
The next night included bronchitis, an ulcer, hives, an ear ache, back pain, a bone stuck between the teeth, a wrist injury, a spontaneous abortion, canker sores, a stiff neck and a burn.
Martin Wollmann, director of health services, said that the hospital averaged 714 monthly visits after normal daytime hours from 8am to 6pm.
Wollmann read from a list of illnesses recorded for two nights last week.
"One particular night is not characteristic of any other night," he said.
"Many, many different people come in here with many, many different concerns."
The number of people who use Watkins at night is considerably lower than the number who use it during the day, Wollmann said.
Two registered nurses watch the emergency room and a nurse and nurse's side work the inpatient section, caring for people who have been admitted to the hospital, she said.
Besides the fact that some of the people who use the emergency room at night are seriously ill, many come in simply to alleviate fears and
The hospital is available for worried students as well as sick or injured students, Wollmann said.
But friends aren't the only people who worry about sick or injured KU students. 317
"People should come in at night if they are injured, but they should also come in if they're concerned," he said.
"For those who don't have a life-threatening illness, it's the worry that they might that concerns them. Many people come in by themselves, but it also happens that some come in with two or three friends."
"The doctors worry about the students," said Mary Jo Brown, registered nurse who was working the evening shift with Gerkin. "I don't think the students realize it, but they are very fortunate."
There is always one doctor on call every night at Watkins to back up the four nurses on duty.
Although activity is never constant in the emergency room from night to right, Gorkins said that he would be able to bring wearing were always busier than others.
"From 3 to 7 p.m. is fairly busy because the students are still out playing their sports," she said.
was usually just a characterization this as human nature.
But Gerkin said the busiest time was awaived, just around bedtime.
"Somehow, after the sun sets and it gets a little quiet, they notice that they're sick," he said.
In the past, the hall kitchens were inspected by University, not state, officials.
Under the license, food services in the residence halls would be inspected by the state for health conditions.

The kitchens at KU residence halls were inspected at the end of last week prior to being licenced by the state, and superintendent of food services said.
Ekdahl said that food service operations would remain the same, but that they now would be inspected by state officials, as food service operations at Kansas State and Wichita State are.
inspections done last week were instructional.
"They explained what they are going to inspect us on," she said.
"We will be checked just like any commercial restaurant," Ekdahl said.
