Polish authorities reveal priest had been strangled
WARSAW, Poland — ProSolidarity priest Jerzy Polepiszu was strangled by his kidnappers before his body was dumped in a reservoir, and four secret police officers will be formally indicted for the murder, authorities said yesterday.
Government spokesman Jerzy Urban said final results of an autopsy performed by pathologist Maria Byrdy would be released Nov. 30. "They will show that he was dead when he went into the water," he said.
Sharon says story caused hate
NEW YORK — Former Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Ariel testified yesterday that a Time magazine article provoked a "new wave of hatred" against him by implying he encouraged the massacre of Palestinian civilians.
But the reporter who wrote the disputed cover story, "The Theodict Is Guilty," called Sharon a man of "ruthless, naked ambition."
Sharon is running Time for $50 million, claiming Fob 21, 1983, article was a "treaty" with the United States.
Reagan's son wants meeting
WASHINGTON — Michael Reagan, airing the latest round in the first family feud, said yesterday he wanted to sit down with his father and settle their differences "outside the press," so Dad can get on with negotiating with the Russians.
Reagan, 39, said that he received a call from his father. President Reagan, Reagan, 41, said he was deeply moved by the loss of his wife.
The feud erupted when Nancy Reagan said in an interview with syndicated columnist Betty Beale that there was a three-year estrangement between Mimi and his father, a widowed son in his first marriage to actress Jane Wyman, and other family members.
Chinese lose sleep over rule
PEKING - Millions of Chinese government workers must give up their traditional, two-hour lunchtime snooze next week. China's official press said yesterday.
Citing the lengthy lunch break dozing as a cause of inefficiency, China's State Council said naptime for Peking bureaucracy was to half starting January 1, the agency said.

Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan said the proposed system would be "simpler, fairer and more economically efficient" — the basic requirements President Reagan laid down last January when he asked that a plan be drawn up.
WASHINGTON — The Department of the Treasury proposed significant changes in the nation's tax system yesterday that would mean fewer taxes for most Americans, especially the poor, sharpen the tax bite on business and close many loopholes.
Regan said the proposal would raise the same amount of money for the government as the current tax system and said, "It is not, I repeat not, a tax increase in disguise."
Several key members of Congress said that for any tax reform effort to succeed, it would need strong backing from Reagan — support an independent carefully avoided giving yesterday.
Proposed tax change to simplify the system
The plan would reduce the number of individual income tax brackets to just three, with rates from 15 percent to 35 percent, and increase the rate of changing or changing some time-honored deductions.

Regan said 57 percent of American taxpayers would pay less under the proposal, 22 percent would pay the same amount as under the current system and the rest would
"AT FIRST GLANCE," the president said, "the Treasury study certainly proposes a simpler and fairer tax system." But he also said the law might right now. No decisions have been made.
The average taxes of all individuals lumped together would be reduced by 8.5

LOUISVILLE, Ky — William J Schroeder asked if the machine thumping in his chest was OK and then asked for a can of beer yesterday in his first words since becoming the second person to receive a permanent artificial heart.
NEW YORK — Karl F. Koecher, a Czechoslovakian immigrant who allegedly infiltrated the CIA, is led by FBI agents after being arrested on espionage charges for providing classified national security information to the Czechoslovakian Intelligence Service as a double agent. He was arrested yesterday as he tried to leave the country for Austria and is scheduled to be arraigned today.
His surgeon said he hoped the Jasper, Ind, native would be able to leave Humana Hospital Audubon by Christmas," but I think that's probably very, very unrealistic.
"Nevertheless, there seems to be a number of challenging new ideas that deserve serious analysis," he said.
"This proposal clearly will be a good starting point for the (Finance) committee's consideration of tax reform." Dole said. "Where this consideration will lead is not clear, but we will know more after a thorough analysis of Treasury's proposal and their work on other tax reform options."
SEN. ROBERT DOLE, R-Kan, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said the Treasury proposal "like any comprehensive policy, would be special interests and will attract opposition."
Rep. Dap Rostenkowski, D-III., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, called the plan "as sweeping in its range as it is controversial in its impact."
THIS LOSS TO THE Treasury would be made up partly by leveling out what now are vast differences in the effective tax rates levied on corporations. Some companies that now pay "negative taxes" — that is, the corporate income tax — would end up getting tax bills, Reagan said.
Reaction to the sweeping proposal was cautious on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers criticizing some specifics, particularly the elimination of deductions for state and local taxes, and acknowledging it will be the subject of intense politicizing.
The reduction in average individual tax rates would also be made up by broadening the tax base — reducing or eliminating many deductions and other benefits that now in effect exclude much of the nation's income from taxation.

"I think it just depends on what happens," said William DVies in his first appearance.
"If that is something he desires, I would see nothing wrong with his having what I need."
He said, "I like a cup of beer."

The comfort of the former munitions inspector was improved significantly at daybreak yesterday when DeVries removed a breathing tube from Schroeder's throat, allowing him to speak for the first time since the surgery.
"As soon as the tube came out of him, we let him have some ice chips and I asked him, 'How're you doing?' DeVries said.
"He said, 'Is the heart working all right?' " He said, 'Yes it is. Can I get you anything?

Schroeder was able to kiss his wife of 32 years, Margaret, who wore a surgical mask. Schroeder also received his first post shave and talked to his six children.
The next big step is expected Friday, when doctors plan to hook Schroeder up briefly to a shoulder-carried air compressor to drive the stents and diaphragms that push blood through his body.
Craig Smith
"To worship God is our greatest privilege, as for my ministry; 'I will praise you, Oh Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples." Psalm 57:9 Craig Smith
Craig Smith has a heart set on God. His music reflects his devotion to the Lord. I have watched him grow in the Lord, and I've seen how deeply it has affected his music. He is not out to make a name for himself, and his one great desire is to lead people in worship and praise to the Lord.
The country today is full of singers and musicians. A majority of them all sound alike, competing with one another to be the most contemporary and best known. Craig Smith is different. He has given his ministry over to the honor of the Lord.
Craig has ministered with me in crusades all over the nation. I have seen his music bring Christians to their feet, worshiping and praising the Lord. His music is not contemporary — it is spiritual. Deeply spiritual. He sings the kinds of music we will all sing around the throne of Christ. I think his is the
Friday, Nov. 30, 8 p.m. Alderson Room, Kansas Union FREE ADMISSION
Craig Smith had been a drummer and singer in a rock band for six years when he was introduced to Jesus through the conversion and witness of the group's manager.
He and his wife left Louisville, Kentucky to attend two years of Bible college in Missouri before beginning a ministry directed to the 16-25 year old age group in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Craig began ministering in Ministry in Arkansas. Craig began ministering in music which he has been doing since 1976.
For the past two years Craig has been providing the music for the David Wilkerson Crusades.
Craig's first two albums, "The Grand Arrival" and "Maker", have been well received for their spiritual, as well as musical, content. His new album, "Hymns", the first of an album trilogy, "Psalms", "Hymns" and "Spiritual Songs", will mark another turning point for Craig as he seeks to obey the Lord in the ministry God has given him.
