Poles sign for better mine conditions
WARSaw, Poland—Polar's 100,000 coalworkers signed a back-to-work agreement yesterday after winning major concessions from communist authorities and ending the latest of the strikes that swept the nation for three weeks.
The pact ended the first strike in the vital Silesian coalfields since Poland was founded 35 years ago.
Miners were scheduled to be back at their jobs starting with the first 6 a.m. shift today.
Full details of the settlement were not announced, but strikers were known to have won a 5-day work week and abolition of a 4-Shift system that kept each miner at work six days out of eight and forced many to miss Mass on three out of four Sundays.
The government also promised better safety precautions in the mines, which are vital to the nation's energy supply. Eight miners died earlier this year.
The miners also demanded and were granted higher family allowances and better supplies of meat, a commodity whose higher prices touched off price wars.
Dissident officials also reported late Tuesday that Marek Kozlowski, one of the political prisoners whose release was a bargaining topic in Gdanak, had been arrested.
Chinese premier chooses successor
PEKING-Premier Hua Guofeng named Zhao Ziyang as his successor yesterday to lead China in its post-Mao modernization drive.
Zhao's appointment had been expected. Observers said it meant Hu had lost a power struggle to Deng Xiaping, the deputy premier who engineered the modernization campaign and who is considered to be the most powerful man in China.
China's parliament, the National People's Congress, will formally approve Hua's resignation and Zhao's appointment during its current two-
Hua told visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ito that Deng and tour other vice presidents also would resign during the Congress to pave the way for his re-election.
Deng hand-picked Zhao to become premier and possible future chairman of the party. Zhao will oversee China's new pragmatic policies in economic and financial matters and its growing ties with the West, especially the United States.
Hua, who for now will remain as party chairman, steps down as premier after a long and reportedly bitter struggle with the so-called moderate party.
Hua praised Zhao to Ito as a "very talented figure."
Anti-war activist plans to surrender
NEW YORK—Abbie Hoffman, the radical Yippie anti-war leader of the 1960s who has been running from the law since 1974, plans to come out of hiding soon and surrender on drug and bail-jumping charges, his lawyer said yesterday.
"He will be coming out soon, because he feels now is a good time," said attorney Gerald Leclart. "When people learn his story, they will be truly impressed."
Hoffman, 43, contacted ABC-TV three weeks ago and said he was planning to turn himself in during the first week of September and wanted to be in trouble.
Walters and an entourage of cameramen flew tweed to Watertown, N.Y., where they transferred to a car and left for an undisclosed place.
Police said state authorities were not involved in an attempt to snare Hoffman the surface for an interview.
Sources at ABC said Walters interviewed Hoffman Tuesday.
The sources said Hoffman had told ABC in a series of phone calls that he would talk to Walters, disappear and then surrender to authorities.
Walters also was to talk to a plastic surgeon who claimed to have performed surgery on the fivetute.
Help sought to curb refugee crimes
MADISON, Wis.—Gov. Lee Dreyfus asked the White House yesterday to send a letter asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture (U.S. Coy) Cuba refuge resettlement center from a base in refugee government
A commission that spent two days at the military post verified reports of gang raps, beatings and robberies. It said that the situation was not "out of control" for police.
Children, both boys and girls, have been targets of sexual attacks by the largest adult male population because they are integrated with the rest of society.
Joseph LaFleur, a Dreyfus alide, said the governor had asked the White House for more military police to beef up security in the compound and for federal prosecutors to try suspects arrested for committing crimes in the compound.
The commission said MPs and federal marshals now patrol only the perimeter, leaving the internal operation of the camp to a "government officer" (Fred).
LaFleur also said the 200 juveniles at the camp should be separated from the rest of the camp population.
The center began accepting refugees last May. Since then more than 9,000 have been resettled around the nation. About 5,000 remain. The camp is to close this month, and the remaining refugees are to be transferred to Fort Chaffee, Ark.
Second official tried in Abscam case
WASHINGTON—Rep. John Jennette, D-S.C. went on trial yesterday on charges of accepting $50,000 in exchange for introducing an immigration bill that could have led to deportation.
Jury selection began yesterday with opening statements scheduled for today.
Jenneke is up for reelection in November, but he said he would be bee too with his trial to campaign. He predicted he would be cleared of any wrongdoing.
Jennette and co-defendant John Stowe, a former Myrtle Beach, S.C., was charged with a felony charge of stealing an additional $175,000 in return for introducing the private inmate program.
Jenrette entered Bethesda Naval Hospital last February for treatment of a woman whose lawyer, Kenneth Robinson, said the defense would focus on that problem.
The prosecution is expected to present video and audio tapes of conversations between Jenrette and the undercover agents.
Jenrette is the second of six congressmen indicted in the Abscamp inri-
tance to come trial. Rep. Myers Myers, D-Pa., was convicted in New York last week.
Elephants dine on posh hotel cuisine
The elephants took to the meal with relish, stuffing whole heads of lettuce into their mouths, snaking carrots with their trunks and munching on them.
A half dozen waiters in black tuxedos, with white tails draped over their arms, minstakes to the elephants and tickled showers occasionally spewed mud.
The assorted goodies cost the Hyatt Regency about $400, and most of it was quickly gobbled up.
They also ate bananas and peanuts served on trays by waiters.
Before the animals left, they performed tricks under the goading of their two legs and then each other or stood on their two hind legs with their trunks raised to the sky.
Teachers' strikes spread across nation
By United Press International
Teachers' strikes spread to nine states yesterday from Arizona to New Jersey.
Schools involved had an enrollment of about 800,000 students, but many had not been enrolled.
about 5,500 teachers, instructional aides and clerks, citing "no contract, no work," picked 81 schools in Newark, Kentucky, and 47 others. 62,000 students were preparing for the
The main issues were higher salaries, cost of living increases, limitations on class size and more teacher preparation time.
In another of the larger strikes in Rochester, N.Y., teachers defied the state Taylor law, which penalizes them two days' pay for each day they strike, keeping 28 schools closed on the first day of school for 34,600 students.
NEWARK TEACHERS Union leaders said they called the strike when contract talks stalled. They said the education had educed it to make a salary offer.

The other 26 schools in Rochester are operating with substitutes and advertise.
Union officials said 98 percent of the district's 2,300 teachers picked in the final round.
News coverage twisted, Reagan says
In an interview in Detroit, Reagan said he thought the press was trying to confuse him with a political figure.
He said the news media were "aided and abetted" by the Carter administration.
WASHINGTON-Ronald Reagan said Tuesday that he thought the news media had followed the lead of Democrats in nipicking and distorting his statements and the result had been a lot of "half-cocked" news coverage.
"They have taken their lead from things said by Vice President Walter Mondale and Carter and even Sen. Edward Kennedy's speech, at the opening of a memorial full of distorted quotes and out-ofcontext remarks," he said.
"If Mr. Carter intends to campaign on those, he's in for a big surprise."
IN PHILADELPHIA, where schools were to open tomorrow, teachers were under a court order to limit picketing. Negotiators were meeting around the clock under the supervision of a state mediator.
Reagan has spent much of the last few weeks explaining controversial remarks on Taiwan, evolution, the Vietnam War and the Ku Klux Klan.
No new talks were scheduled to end the walkout, which began Tuesday.

principal's 6.900 students.
The 20,000 teachers and aides were to report for their first day of work yesterday but instead planned to resume picketing at schools, the district administration building and other locations. A court order limited the number of pickets to six at any location.
There also were walkouts in four other eastern Pennsylvania districts.
IN THE WEST, teachers were on strike against three Seattle-area schools with 30,000 students. Sierra Vista, Ariz., teachers began picketing
In the Midwest, strikes in more than a dozen Illinois districts involved some 700 teachers and more than 33,000 students. In the Chicago area alone, 19 districts had yet to reach contract settlements.
Teachers in three Ohio districts with a total of more than 11,000 students were off the job, and more strikes were threatened.
In Michigan, teachers' strikes in 29 districts kept 79,500 students either out of school or wondering if opening day would be on time.
About 21,300 Rhode Island students were kept out of schools in four districts on the first day of school yesterday by 1,200 teachers who picketed three districts and honored a strike by janitors in another.
