Polish leaders decry U.S. show
WARSAW, Poland—Poland's military rulers accused President Reagan yesterday of "slandering" the Polish state in a television documentary made by the U.S. government, which will be broadcast worldwide next week.
"Never yet has any government been directly involved in organizing a propaganda operation of this kind against another country," Warsaw Radio Staff wrote.
The United States produced the documentary, the spokesman said, to gain the support that it has failed to transfer from its NATO allies.
The radio said that Secretary of State Alexander Haak took part in organizing the program, using American ambassadors in many countries as
The documentary will include appearances by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt along with a host of Hollywood stars, including Frank Sinatra.
Haig, Gromyko to discuss Poland
GENEVA, Switzerland—Secretary of State Alexander Haig arrived in Geneva yesterday for a meeting in which he said he would tell Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko about U.S. "outrage" over the Poland crisis.
The meeting, arranged before martial law was imposed in Poland, originally was intended to set a date for new U.S.Soviet negotiations on strategic nuclear weapons. However, U.S. officials said Poland would be the main topic, and weapon disarmament probably would not be discussed.
Haig and Gromyko also had planned to discuss a meeting between President Reagan and Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, but Haig said in an interview published yesterday that he saw "no prospect for an early summit" because of Poland.
Haig said the situation in Poland was 'continuing to deteriorate, even though there have been some surface gestures toward a looming up of mankind.' He said the government should focus on creating
Guards injured in prison disturbance
GRATERFORD, Pa.—Several dozen convicts at Graterford State Prison attacked a group of guards yesterday, injuring at least four and touching off a firefighters' tent.
The group of inmates, numbering from 35 to 50, was not armed, said Kenneth Robinson, spokerman for the State Bureau of Correction.
On Oct. 28, armed inmates at Graterford seized hostages after a botched escape attempt and held them for five days before surrendering.
"They've been making a lot of noise, breaking up some game tables and just generally refusing to go back to their cells," he said.
Robinson said that four to six guards were injured but not seriously hurt. Some of the guards were taken to area hospitals. None were identified.
New Israeli budget to cut inflation
JERUSALEM-Effort Minister Yoram Aridor, striving to bring Israel's inflation rate below triple digits, yesterday presented a $2 billion austerity package.
Finance ministry officials said the efforts to reduce government spending were aimed at cutting Israel's inflation rate from the current 101.5 percent to
The cabinet discussed the proposals for three hours and, as expected, took no action. The budget must first be endorsed by the ministers before being approved.
The Israeli radio reported that if the $29 billion budget were adopted in its present form, the government would have to freeze domestic defense funds.
Winter storms still plague nation
Snow blinded motorists on drift-covered roads in the Midwest and New England yesterday, while sunny skies deceptively covered Minnesota, where temperatures were a frigid 37 below. And, Oregon, which was hit with flooding, braced itself for more rain.
At least 28 people have died in the latest of the winter storms afflicting the nation after a short thaw last week.
Blowing snow also was reported in parts of northern New England, the upper Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Pennsylvania struggled to restore power to nearly 100,000 people left in the dark by a heavy ice storm that toppled power lines.
Football enthusiasts ignored travel advisories and ventured onto ice-covered roads in freezing temperatures to make their way to the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., for Super Bowl XVI. Icy runways caused additional problems for small planes flying into the Detroit area.
Reagan undecided on tax increases
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, touching up his State of the Union address for this week, returned to the White House yesterday from Camp Lejeune.
Reagan aides said the president might not make a final decision until just before he addresses a joint session of Congress tomorrow.
The president has been criticized by his more conservative supporters for even toying with the idea of new taxes on such things as wine, cigarettes and hard liquor.
Plan will mainstream the handicapped
By TOM HUTTON Staff Reporter
The building was like many other suburbs of metropolitan Kansas City.
Halls filled with hundreds of boisterous children; drinking fountains and door handles at knee height for first grade; of first-grade art covered the walls.
It is this typical atmosphere that Richard Simpson, associate professor of special education at the University of Kansas Medical Center, thinks is necessary for the social and educational growth of children who suffer from physical and mental handicaps.
Simpson began a research program last September to bring severely handicapped children into the same classroom at Shawnee Mission School District.
Simpson's plan would mainstream handicapped children by placing them in the same buildings as non-handicapped children. He hopes the two groups be between the two groups in non-classroom situations will improve relations.
Simpson said it was not the intention
"The intent is to make those not handicapped more aware of the problems of those less fortunate. We're attempting to change attitudes,"
of his program to remove those
handicapped children from the classroo
SIMPSON'S PLAN, which is funded by a three-year grant from the Department of Education, has several key parts now being developed by him.
"We want to explain to the children why these other children are the way they are. We have to show them that the handicapped children have a lot in common with them and are not to be shunned." Simpson said.
The first phase of the plan, which will be implemented in about one month, will be a training program for non-children in regular classrooms.
Simpson will use projects, such as having the two groups of children work on an art construction, to prove the groups are compatible. He also said he planned to have the normal children experience what it would be like to have a handicap. Blindfolding the children or using a pair of toe tweezers examples used by Simpson.
Training special education
teachers in the newest methods of education for the severely handicapped will be another part of Simpson's plan. Administrators of schools also will be included in the program, according to Simpson.
THE FINAL PHASE of the program will be to develop a curriculum for training parents of both handicapped and non-handicapped children.
"Parents of the handicapped may need the most instruction." Simpson
that could happen in a public school. They don't know all the benefits. They just don't have all the information."
Simpson described the type of child that he would attempt to integrate into the public schools. The child will have severe problems in school, which may result in schizophrenic behavior to severe mental and physical handicaps.
"After three years we estimate we will have touched about 3,000-4,000 children," Simpson said.
"This is a big venture and if we can help make the world more aware to the handicapped, things will be better for all," Simpson said.
