It said 21 police were hospitalized, two in serious condition, and 27 civilians were hurt, including one.
Also, church sources said military authorities had fired 500 of the 15,000 workers at the giant Lenin shipyard in Gdansk in reprisal for the strikes and riots.
"Some people have been fired, fired from the jobs they love," the Rev. Henry Jankowski.
Walesa's priest, told a congregation of 2,000 at a special mass Wednesday.

In another development, the leader of a Polish government delegation said in Rome shortly before leaving for Warsaw that he had discussed the issue with the president and a church in Poland with prominent Vatican officials.
Carlin
former House speaker's support of the severance had given the issue bipartisan importance.
From page one
Lady, one of four people defeated by Hardage for the GOP nomination, has withheld his support from the Wichita businessman, citing that he is not a Republican candidate's positions on some issues.
Carlin also told the audience that Hardage's recent switch on the severance tax was politically motivated to bring in more votes, and an attempt to "dilute" his original position.
Hardage, who said he had never eliminated the possibility, told reporters last week that he could support a severance law if it pleased all parties, including the oil industry.
HARDAGE SAID he still strongly opposed Carin's severance tax because it was "unfair" and would be a discouragement to prospective businesses that considered settling in Kansas.
But Carlin said hardy the Republican's recent statements did not mean the Republican would support oil and gas.
"It doesn't mean he supports a severance tax. He's just acknowledging the issue is hurting him politically." Carlin said. "Hardage is beginning to think that he can't have people going to the polls knowing for sure who supports a severance tax and who doesn't."
Carlin also responded to several remarks Hardage made during his speech at the Law Forum last week, in the accusation that a senior donor had depleted $197 million in state reserves.
Carlin said depletion of $147 million in state funds derived from revenue problems tied to the national recession. He blamed the use of the state's taxpayer fund for its failure to pass his proposed severance tax.
"I can assure you if mr. Hardage was in Texas today, he would be on Gov. Clement's side," Carlin said, "saying 'Oh, it wasn't Bill who spent the money, it was the national recession.'"
IN ANSWERING questions from the audience, Carlin said he would not support a constitutional amendment.
Houseman's 50-year career includes radio, TV, theatre
By MATT BARTEL Staff Reporter
The man at the podium had been Professor Kingsfield, the tyrannical sage of law from the movie and television series "The Paper Chase," but to the overflow crowd last night he was John Houseman, writer, producer, director and most recently, actor.
More than 700 people gathered in seats, on tables and standing in every corner of the Kansas Union Ballroom to hear Houseman, 80, share stories of his 50-year career in stage, screen and radio, during which, he said, the advent of television had a profound effect.
He stressed the distinction between John Houseman and his "Paper Chase" character, Charles W. Kingsfield.
"This clarification has been made necessary largely because of the medium of television," he said, which brings the character to many more people than any
The intimacy of the television viewing environment takes away the old "Olympian stance" that the star performer had on stage, Houseman said.
"It would be difficult to imagine, for instance, a person getting up in the middle of a scene (in a theatre) to open a new can of beer," he said. "The autograph-seekers really see Professor Kingsfield because that's who they see every week."
Houseman said Kingsfield was a composite of several characters, including a vitriolic professor of law at the turn of the century named Bull Warren, who relished the belittlement of his students with such comments as, "Take a good look around you, gentlemen, for tomorrow one of you will be gone."
In one instance, Houseman said, Warren handed one student a nickel and told him to call his mother to tell her he might be home "a little earlier than he expected."
On how much of Kingsfield's character has crept into John Houseman he would not comment, however.
"I'm the last person in the world to ask. I really don't know," he said at a news conference before the lecture.
He said his switch from behind the scenes to in front of the cameras was nothing special.
Houseman's acting career began at the age of 70 after 40 years of working behind the scenes in such endeavors as the Mercury Theatre and Mercury Theatre of the Air, the films "Citizen Kane" and "Julius Caesar" and the films "Voice of America" and "Playhouse 90."
"That's all it took."
The switch was not difficult for him, however
"After I'd directed, produced, and taught
so years, I have to be a dodd not to know
bPRVV."
Houseman said he did not think his participation in commercials and the motion picture "The Fog" detracted from his image. "I'm not crying all the way to the bark," he said.
Houseman worked with Orson Welles in several productions. The most famous of those is probably the Mercury Theatre of the Air's radio production of H, G, Welles" War of the Worlds" on Halloween in 1938, though that show lasted only 18 months.
There were several reasons for the panic that resulted from that broadcast, he said. Among those was the decision the week before to stop playing and of the play from an earlier time to the present.
