Poland mourns slain priest
By United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — Poland mourned the death of pro-Solidarity priest Jerzy Popieluszko yesterday with solemn memorial services across the nation and the Communist Party vowed to punish those involved in his abduction and murder.
In the Vatican, Pope John Paul II deplored the killing and said the priest's death "has shaken the confidence of men" everywhere.
"May the moral eloquence of this death be in no way obscured," the Polish-born pope said in an apparent plea to supporters of the banned Polish Solidarity labor union not to react with violence.
THE PONTIFE SAID the statement in Polish at his weekly general audience attended by 8,000 people, including about 200 Poles. During the address, a small plane flew overhead
with a banner that said "Solidarpose" (Solidarity).
Poland's Roman Catholic Primate Cardinal Jozef Glemp called on "all compatriots in Poland and abroad to join in ardent prayers" in Popielusko's memory.
In Washington, President Reagan said the death of the priest "strengthens the resolve of all freedom-loving peoples to stand firm in their convictions.
"Father Popeliszku's spirit lives on," Reagan said in a written statement released by the White House. "The world's conscience will not be at rest until the perpetrators of the crime have been brought to justice."
IN GDANSK, THE Rev Henryk Jankowski, a militant priest who is a close friend of Solidarity founder Lech Walesa and the late Population Minister Kamil Kozak in the city and the Lenin shipyard, where Solidarity was born in 1980.
"There is total calm." he said.
"There is not even atmosphere favorable for using the situation for street demonstrations."
Polish radio quoted Walesa as saying, "Let there be no demonstrations."
Officials said an autopsy was being performed at an undisclosed location and church sources said the funeral would be held Saturday in Warsaw
Popieluszko, an ardent Solidarity supporter whose fiery sermons against the state drew thousands of Poles to St. Stanisław Kostka church in Warsaw, was abducted from his car Oct. 10. In near the city of Torin in northern Poland, his body was recovered Tuesday from a reservoir in northern Poland.
AT THE ST. STANISLAW Kostka church, continuous prayers were recited and thousands of candles flickered around the church fence, already decked with portraits of Popieluszko.
35 killed in Argentine collision
By United Press International
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A commuter train slammed into a bus full of passengers at a railroad crossing yesterday, pushing it 600 feet down the track and killing at least 35 people.
More than 15 others were seriously injured in the crash, which officials said was caused when the bus driver tried to beat the train by gig-zagging
through closed crossing gates. Witnesses disputed the claim, saying the gates were up.
The state railroad company, Ferrocarriles Argentinos, said the crossing barriers 'were in their normal lowered position' and said they 'had not obstructed the accident — crossed the tracks in a big pig fashion to beat the train
Other bus drivers and a newspaper vendor who witnessed the accident disagreed, saying the manually
operated barriers were not lowered before the train passed.
The barrier operator, Andres Salinas, was being questioned by police along with several other passengers, including two bus passengers
If an investigation shows the bus driver was at fault, it would be the second time in less than a month that a fatal train-bus crash was caused by a driver zig-zagging around protective barriers.

Two U.S. oil companies cut their posted prices for some domestic crude oil by as much as $175 a barrel yesterday in a move that could undermine OPEC's crusade to prevent a break in world oil prices.
If the reductions spread throughout the oil industry, Americans' gasoline and home-engineering oil bills could fall.
Ashland Oil Inc. and Conoco Inc lowered the price they will pay for several high-quality light crudes
OPEC decision "may not have its intended impact on world oil production and prices."
Prices for oil sold to the highest bidder on the international spot market rose by 20 to 25 cents a barrel, despite the latest oil prices.
Just hours after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries announced a formal agreement to curb production in a bid to bolster shaky oil prices,
OPEC's attempt to "manipulate the market by setting artificially high prices or by seeking to fashion arbitrary restrictions on oil exports from U.S. or other consumers, or in the long run, of producers," he said.
"The market has sent a clear signal that the current oil price is too high in relation to demand and should come down."
But in Washington, Energy Secretary Donald Hodel said the
