Poland warns union, deploys troops
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland—The Polish government, accusing Solidarity of "waging a war" on the economy, warned it would not tolerate the union's general strike set for Wednesday and ordered troops into 2,000 villages today to restore economic order.
But some 200,000 workers rejected both government orders to end their walkouts and Solidarity's appeal to halt wildcat strikes in the spring. They also shut down Wednesday to protest food shortages.
Tadeusz Hupalowski, minister of administration, announced over Polish television yesterday that troop deployments ordered by the government Friday to put down "street provocations," ensure transportation and combat waste would begin today.
He said the troops, special units whose military service had been extended for two months, would be deployed in 2,000 villages in the country to measure "to combat an 'emergency situation.'"
The soldiers "first duty would be to ensure that food reaches markets and to prepare the country for the coming season."
repeated warnings of severe shortages this winter.
The government had warned it would not tolerate this week's general strike in a communique released Saturday and issued in an official translation yesterday.
"The Solidarity leadership is waging a war against the country's economy," the communique said. "The strike gun is really put on the table to show how important it but also to the temple of the entire society."
The government communique warned that a nationwide strike would "destroy the economy and the possibility of an agreement," warning that such an attack could be called online or anarchy unless it invites disintegration."
A speech by Politburo member Kazimierz Barcikowski broadcast yesterday condemned 'ambitious leaders' in Solidarity for using violence against police workers into strikes, they did not understand.
"The country is in the grip of a successive wave of strikes," Barclayskid said in the speech originally made Saturday. "They stem from their threaten to turn into a nationwide conflict."
It appeared that neither the government nor Solidarity leaders controlled worker unrest,
mainly over food shortages but also caused by a police crackdown on union activities.
As the crisis intensified in Poland's most serious confrontation since the union's leadership shakeup, Solidarity leader Lech Wesla traveled to Warsaw for "extremely important talks" on food supplies with rural Solidarity chief Jan Kula.
But in a dramatic indication that control of the 10-million member independent union may be slipping away from Wales, union chapter after chapter Saturday rejected the leadership's unauthorized strikes that have idled 300,000 workers in 36 of Poland's 40 provinces.
In addition, the Democratic Party, which with the tiny United Peasants Party forms the National Unity front with the dominant Communists, rejected the Communists' demand for a total ban on strikes. That "would eliminate the symptoms but not the real causes," it said.
Meantime, Poland's Parliament called a session for Friday that is expected to reveal a major Cabinet shakeup or even formation of an expanded "national unity front" that would invite Solidarity and the Roman Catholic Church to help govern.
Kansas Attorney General Robert Stephan, seated next to his wife, Bettie, told about 100 state school administrators last night that disallowing religious groups to use public property amounts to "discrimination" against them. See story on page 7.
Says Poles will resist Soviet force KU prof recalls his guerrilla days

One winter day in Warsaw, a 13-year-old boy was walking along a railroad track with his brother when he saw a German policeman beating a child.
It was 1939 and the Germans had occupied Poland since autumn. Jaroslaw Piekiewicki, KU professor of Soviet and East European Studies, said last week that the policeman was beating the child for "sieging" coal from a train.
"Really, the coal was lying on the tracks,"

he recalled. "It was a hard winter."
When he and his brother shouted for the beating to stop, the policeman turned and fled.
Pikalkiewicz is the KU faculty adviser for Armenyst International, a human rights group that works for the release of non-violent prisoners detained because of their beliefs, education or language. He said German repression prompted him to join the Polish underground.
HE RECALLED a day in high school when German labor officers arrive to deport an American woman.

He jumped from a ground-floor window and began climbing a wall outside the building. When he reached the top, policemen on the other side of the wall saw him and fired. Until he reached the ground, Piekakiewicz was not aware of being fired upon.
"You become very much an animal and you act on instinct. You don't really think," he said. "That also accounts for one's physical ability."
The German policy that affected Pekalkiewicz more than any other was the

"I was affected perhaps more than other people," Piekiewkicz wized. "My best pal during the grade school years was Jewish. He taught me a lesson painful because I was thinking of my friend."
Piekkaliewicz eventually joined the Polish Home Army, which was the military arm of the Polish government in exile that operated from London. Piekkaliewicz was assigned to lead a squad of six men. Because the underground was poorly armed, they were ordered to steal pistols from German soldiers. he said.

Poll shows Budig unknown name pronunciation difficult
Who is that newcomer to Strong Hall?
"It Gene Bub-dog, Boodig, something like that." "It starts with a 'b', but I cann't remember."
"Um, I can't think of his name, but I know who he is."
These were a few of the responses people gave as they walked under the shadow of a tree.
Results showed that 44 percent couldn't name their chancellor.
And of those who could, most didn't pronounce the name right.
A MERE 14 PERCENT hit the jackpot with the right pronunciation: Gene A. "Bew-dig.",
Many said Bub-dig, or Boo-dig, and one said,
"Budget. Bidget. I don't know."
Those who came close offered plausible excuses.
"B-U-D-I-G. I know how to spell it, but I just can't pronounce it."
"I never heard anybody say it before."
"I never heard anybody say it before."
He well even people distinguished enough to
Well, even people distinguished enough to call the chancellor on the phone aren't sure how to pronounce it, according to Jane Johnson. Budig's secretary.
"A lot of people who call want to know how to pronounce it," she said.
"I always tell them, 'You say Bu like in KU.' That's a good way to remember it."
A few didn't let their ignorance bother them.
"I don't know, and I don't care," was the response.
What about those roaming around who had no idea who their leader was?
"Oh, God," one student said with a nervous
impulse. "I should know that, should it?"
OTHERS DISPLAYED their shame.
But many students tried to save face by offering what tidiubs of knowledge they did to the teacher.
laugh, "I should know that, shouldn't't?" Another replied, "No. I don't. I should feel pressured."
"I know we got a new one recently."
"He came from West Virginia. "I've heard of Bob Cobb."
The most unique response came from a student, who goes to Bultie's church.
"His name?" she asked. "Oh, I know he's a
"historian" who at am in Smailow.
"I know something about him."
"He told me that whenever he pressured he just closes the door and says a Rosary. I the next time, I will tell him."
Later, when Budig was told what the woman had said, he smiled and conceded it was true.
But as for the results of the survey, he sighed and added. "That's interest."
When James Scally, administrative assistant to the chancellor, learned of the number of uninformed students, he simply said, "Figures."
Severinsen notes halftime praises band
By LISA MASSOTH Staff Reporter
Doc Severinens watches the KU Marching Band practice its half-time show Friday. When the band was finished Severinens got on the step ladder used by the director, gave the band a neen talk and invited the members to his show.
For a short while, he was the audience instead of the performer.
Doc Severinst stood in Memorial Stadium in the biting wind, his hands burrowed in the pockets of his wool, plaid trench coat, and he looked at me with a smile and practice its halftime show Friday afternoon.
Severinssen was in Lawrence to give a concert at the Lawrence Opera House Friday night before hopping on a bus to Tulsa, Okla., for his next performance.
"They're good," he shouted on the blaring horns and pounding drums.
HE STROLLED into the stadium late Friday afternoon accompanied by Opera House manager Curtis Reinhardt to listen to the marching band and to talk to the students.
With a spiraling flourish of his hand,
Swerinem bowed to the admiring musicians as
he played.
The band members groaned as they lined up for about the 10th time that afternoon, then proceeded to sturt through a carefully orchestrated performance—obvious pride on each member's face.
"Let's run through nattume," shouted Foster through his megahone.
The band high-steped and the flags snapped in the wind as strains of "Tomorrow" from the band broke.
When the twirler lay on her back on the artificial turf as part of her routine, Severinen sank her head and laughed.
Before he finished descending the ladder, band members had clustered around him praising his skill.
After the band rippled through its final bow, Severenmann applauded and praised the performers.
HIS OWN CAREER in marching band was short-lived.
The doctor was just what the band had ordered.
"I used to play in a cowboy band," he said.
Next, the band line up on the stadium stairs to practice the pre-game show. While the musicians charged down the stairs onto the field and played music, Severson said, "Boy, they got be in shape."
"Excuse me. Could you take our picture with Doc?" A man and his teen-age daughter squeezed close to the trumpeter as a photographer obliged them.
Seveninier's attention was temporarily diverted by the admirers, but he turned back just in time to watch her.
The players all held their positions while Ron McCurdy, an assistant band director, presented Sevenirsen a KU band jacket. Foster then turned to the camera and watched the drummer while the band waited in quiet anticipation.
SEVERINSEN CAREFULLY climbed the ladder in his boots, paused and put the umbrella on.
"You're beautiful and you sound great," he said.
"Gang, you're all dismissed," he shouted.
One no one was about to leave the field while the men were in line.
Stadium not full for KU-K-State
The third largest crowd in KU history attended Saturday's KU-SState football game, but despite the annual state rivalry, Memorial Stadium was not quite filled to capacity.
Rich Konzem, University of Kansas acting ticket manager, said yesterday that while local radio and television stations had been billing the game as a sell-out, he was trying to get rid of nearly 2,000 tickets that Kansas State University had been unable to sell in Manhattan.
Manwhile, Kanzem was selling student season tickets for general admission prices because it no longer would be profitable for the season ticket with only two home games left, he said.
Carol Adolph, K-State's ticket manager, said that the unsold tickets were typical of this year's sales at K-State, and that she had returned $400,000 in tickets to other schools earlier in the season.
"We just didn't have the demand for them," she said. "Our ticket sales haven't been that good this year, just like KU's haven't been that good."
salesmen said earlier this season that season ticket sales had been equal to last year's sales but with 25%.
