Walesa promises to protest Lenin shipyard shutdown
The Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — An infuriated Lech Wesla yesterday vowed to fight government plans to close down a port on the Baltic Sea, the Solidarity trade union was born.
The state-owned shipyard in Gdansk is being closed down Dec. 1. It is the first big industrial plant to be singled out for closure by the month-long government of Prime Minister Mieczyslaw F. Wakowski.
The decision was announced while the shipyard was closed on the eve of All Saints' Day and caught many workers and Solidarity activists by
surprise. The yard reopens Wednesday.
A longtime foe of Solidarity, Rakowski took office Sept. 27 with a pledge to restructure Poland's aging industrial base and get the economy moving. In an interview with the BBC, he said the decision "has nothing to do with Solidarity."
The announcement came during an impasse in preparations for talks between representatives of Solidarity and the government, which had been promised to Walesa on Aug. 31 during the last strike at the shipyard.

Statements from the pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad,
which holds Anderson, accompanied the tapes.
"On the occasion of Terry Anderson's birthday and in response to your letters, and according to his desire to send you a recorded message, we hereby enclose with this statement the recorded message on videotape," the kidnappers said.
Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press, began the message by identifying himself and saying the date was Oct. 30.
"Once again I'm being given a chance to speak to my family, to my friends and to the American people," he said.
Anderson said his spirits were boosted by the birthday greetings he received, "But as my fourth birthday in captivity passes and as the end of my
fourth year (in captivity) approaches, I find it difficult to keep my hopes and my courage high.
In Los Angeles, Reagan told reporters that his administration had done everything possible to win the hostages' freedom. "I don't think that was Terry speaking," he said. "I think he had a script that was given to him."
When asked about the statement on the tape that the U.S. government interfered when the hostages were about to be released, Reagan said, "That is absolutely not true, but let me point something out. Terry Anderson in that terrible confinement at the hands of those barbarians — any information he has has to have come from there; there is no contact with the outside world."
