Gatholic leaders negotiating in Poland
By The Associated Press
Poland's outlawed Solidarity union is
urging Poles to intensify martial law
protests to “strengthen the position of
representatives of the church” in secret
talks with the government on a “political
solution” to the crisis.
“If we display our intention to fight
against the regime of (Premier
Wojciech) Jaruzelski, these negotiations
can make possible a way out of this blind
alley in which society and the Polish
state now find themselves,” read a
clandestine Solidarity bulletin cir-
culating in Warsaw.
The Dec. 23 bulletin, quoted in un-
censored reports reaching the West
Friday, disclosed that Poland’s Roman
Catholic bishops have been meeting
secretly with top Communist Party of-
ficials to seek a “political solution” to the
crisis.
“Every action of protest, even the
most insignificant, strikes a blow against
(the military government) and hastens
the time of returning the army to the
barracks,” the bulletin said.
In Vienna, two envoys sent to Poland
by Pope John Paul II returned to the
Austrian capital today but revealed
nothing of what they did during their six-
day trip. Archbishop Luigi Poggi, who
met with Jaruzelski, and the Rev. Janusz
Bolononk refused comment. Poggi said
they were “very very tired.”
John Paul sent the two churchmen to
Warsaw on Dec. 19 in an apparent at-
tempt to negotiate an end to the crisis in
his native country. The Solidarity
bulletin did not specify whether Poggi
and Bolononk were involved in the secret
talks.
The union’s communique stopped short
of suggesting armed rebellion. A protest

to be emulated, it said, was the one at the
giant Ursus tractor plant near Warsaw
where, it said, only one tractor was
turned out in the first week of martial
law.
The bulletin called on Communist
Party members to resign and for War-
saw residents to place candles in their
windows to mourn those “murdered” by

the military and police.
Although the government has
acknowledged seven deaths in clashes
since martial law was imposed Dec. 13,
unconfirmed reports reaching the West
say as many as 200 have died.
The tract did not mention the 1,276
striking coal miners in Plast, who
Poland’s official media said remained
underground today despite emotional
appeals from their families to come
home.
A similar number of miners from the
adjoining Ziemowit mine gave up their
occupation Thursday to be with their
families for Christmas, according to
Warsaw Radio broadcasts monitored in
Europe.
Throughout Christmas Day, the radio
broadcast appeals from wives and
mothers for the Piast miners to give up
their protest
In a voice choked by sobs, one woman
was heard pleading with her husband
over a telephone line to the Plast pit:
'Come out as soon as possible, Sylwek.
Today 20 miners have come to the sur-
face and they did not face any con-
sequences.’'
Another woman pleaded, “Come out
my darling. I cannot bear it any longer. I
have talked to the colonel and he told me
that nothing will happen to you when you
are out. There is no point staying down
there any longer.”
The radio also reported that two
Solidarity leaders from Lodz had been
tried and sentenced under summary
martial law procedures to three years in
prison for inciting strikes. It was the
minimum penalty under martial laws
that threaten punishment up to the death
penalty for such offenses.
The government has acknowledged
5,000 arrests since Dec. 13. Independent
Polish sources said however they know of
49 internment camps set up under
martial law, each holding about 250
persons, and that all Poland's prisons are
full.
Neither estimate could be verified. All
external news communications facilities
were cut by the Polish government after
martial law was declared and censorship
was imposed Reliable news reports
from within Poland have been few and
Western news organizations must piece
together information from travelers,
diplomatic sources and others.
The Solidarity bulletin included
allegations of mistreatment of those
detained by the army and police. In
Wroclas, 300 Poles were kept all night in
the courtyard of a prison where they
were doused hourly with water in
freezing temperatures, it said.
In Radom, 2,000 people were said to
have been kept for a week in tents at a
military airport
Church sources confirmed the Radom
report, although the government has
denied that anyone has been kept in
tents.
Organizers of an unofficial relief
organization said 60 prisoners at
Bialoleka Prison near Warsaw began a
hunger strike two days ago, demanding,
among other things, clarification of their
status and the right to have Masses said
for them. The prison holds about 500
inmates.
The government eased some martial
law restrictions for Christmas, including
lifting the 11 p.m. curfew to allow the
deeply religious Poles to attend midnight
Mass. More than 90 percent of Poland’s
36 million population is Roman Catholic.
But the usual Christmas cheer was
absent from most homes, according to
the uncensored dispatches.
Many Warsaw residences had no water
for the holiday, and families exchanged
gifts such as calendars, ball point pens
and cheap souvenirs because of a lack of
consumer goods in the shops, they said.
Christmas dinners were meager
compared to the traditional holiday fare
of 12 fish courses
The extra place traditionally set at the
table for an unexpected wanderer was
reserved in many homes this year for
those Solidarity leaders and other
detainees still held in internment camps
At the breaking of the Christmas
wafer, many wept openly, the dispatches
said.
31 wells completed
at Amei
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel's
tough-talking defense minister, Ariel
Sharon, fired a new salvo at the United
States, capping a week in which U.S.-
Israeli relations plummeted to one of the
lowest points in memory.
In an inter .ew published Friday in the
ewspaper Yediot Aharonot, Sharon said
Washington “showed nothing but im-
potence” in dealing with the Polish
Crisis.
The 53-year-old former combat
general, who led Israeli troops across the
Suez Canal in an assault that turned the
tide of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, claimed
the Reagan administration did not un-
derstand the situation in the Middle East
and Africa.
“In the face of Soviet expansionism,
they (U.S. officials) run around like blind
men in a chimney,” he was quoted as
saying. This “should turn on a lot of red
lights, first and foremost among the
Americans themselves.''
Sharon’s broadside followed an angry
attack on U.S. policy by Prime Minister
Menachem Begin that sparked the latest
rift between the Jewish state and its chief
political ally and arms supplier.
Both Begin and Sharon lashed out at
the U.S. government's censure of Israel's
annexation of the Golan Heights, the
strategic plateau overlooking the nor-
thern Galilee that was captured from
Syria in the 1967 Middle East war.
The Reagan administration suspended
a fledgling strategic alliance with Israel,
imposed other sanctions and sided with
Syria in a U.N. Security Council protest
Police hint progress
in Dozier kidnapping
VERONA, Italy (AP) - PoUce said
today they had discovered “useful new
elements” in their investigation of the
kidnapping of U.S. Brig. Gen. James L
Dozier.
“We’re following a lead," said an anti-
terrorist officer who asked not to be
identified. “Things are improving.” He
refused to elaborate.
In Milan, police identified a third
suspect arrested in a bar raid last week
as Maria Grazia Chiari, 24, believed to be
a member of the Red Brigades terrorist
group. Police have not said what role, if
any, they believed the suspects played in
the kidnapping.
Under Italian law, suspects may be
held for as long as three days without
being charged.
The Red Brigades, Italy’s most feared
icons
against the Golan annexation.
Begin then scuttled the U.S.-Israeli
pact and accused President Reagan of
pushing Israel around with punitive
measures.
Although Begin said Israel viewed the
alliance as canceled, Sharon was quoted
as saying “from Israel’s standpoint, the
agreement indeed exists.”
But he charged the Americans violated
the formal terms of the pact, according
to the newspaper. “In the memorandum
it is stated that it is possible to terminate
it with advance notice of six months ...
There is not even one word in the
document on the possibility of suspension
or postponement.
“The Americans took the one-sided
step of violating a signed agreement
between two countries," Sharon was
quoted as saying. "This is a very serious
matter."
Explaining the Israeli move, Sharon
claimed that after Israel completed its
withdrawal from the Sinai Desert in
April, Washington planned to initiate a
campaign to force Israel from the rest of
the territory it captured in 1967 and drive
it back to its pre-war boundaries.
Israel, he said, was obliged “to stand
up (to Washington) and declare: ‘You
will not push us back to the 1967 borders.’
That is what Begin did.”
The Dec. 14 annexation of the Golan
was “a clear blocking action" against
U.S. pressure, he was quoted as saying.
Hinting at more to come, Sharon said,
“Maybe we will have to think of other
blocking actions."
terrorist group, claimed responsibility
for the Dec. 17 kidnapping of Dozier, 50,
from his Verona apartment Police said
the armed kidnappers posed as plumbers
to enter the apartment.
Meanwhile, Dozier's wife, Judith,
spent Christmas with relatives and four
U.S. military officers and their families.
She attended a Christmas service in the
military chapel at the NATO base where
her husband was the highest-ranking
U.S. officer
Mrs. Dozier, 47, was accompanied by
the couple’s children, Cheryl and Scott,
and Dozier’s younger sister, Joan
Townsend of Houston, Texas.
Mrs. Dozier “wanted everything that
was scheduled before the kidnapping to
go ahead,” said Col. Luciano Dalcheggio,
spokesman for the NATO base.
MENACHEM BEGIN
...angry with Reagan
Israeli critics of the Begin government
accused Begin and Sharon of sabotaging
ties with the United States.
Mordechai Gur, a former military
chief of staff and now a member of the
opposition Labor Party, claimed Israeli
policy was “going off the rails.
“When we speak of our pride, we
should remember that they (the
Americans) also have their pride,” Gur
said in a separate interview in Yediot
Aharonot. “The state of Israel cannot
bring the United States to its knees.”
If the current argument continues “in
the octaves used by the prime minister,
the conflict is likely to sharpen,” he
predicted.
Meat stolen
from freezer
Meredith Heathman, 57, was jailed by
Pawhuska police Christmas Day on a
burglary charge, following the disap-
pearance of $600 worth of beef, chicken
and turkey from the freezer at the
Duncan Hotel Coffee Shop.
Assistant Chief Ed Zaun said that the
chain around the freezer door was broken
sometime between 3 p.m. Christmas Eve
and 10 a.m. Christmas Day, when the
theft was discovered.
Later that morning, Zaun was driving
down Choteau Street when he spied a
parked pickup truck with a frozen turkey
in the back. Upon investigation, he
discovered the rest of the goods and
Heathman at a nearby home, and placed
him in custody.
District Attorney Larry Stuart will
determine whether or not Heathman,
who was said to have been living in his
truck in a parking lot, will be prosecuted.

quarrel over booklet
WASHINGTON (AP) - A long-
standing battle may be warming up
between nutrition advocates and those
who think government should not be
telling people what to eat.
Livestock producer groups, generally,
have bristled at what they consider ill-
founded claims that fat and cholesterol
found in meat contributes to heart
disease and other disorders. Meat in-
dustry representatives also have been
critical of some the government’s diet
work.

Shop burns

A weather-related surge in gas
pressure caused a burst of flame in a
heating stove Thursday afternoon which
led to a fire in a workshop on the Simon
and Lebow oil lease.
The shop is located five miles south-
west of Pawhuska, and pumper Bill
Sloane put out most of the fire himself by
carrying water from a nearby creek.
One truck responded to the call with
Pawhuska firemen Bobby Tall-Chief,
John McGlasson and Paddy Metcalf.
They spent 45 minutes on site and ex-
tinguished the blaze via a booster line.

Food 2, which was to have offered
recipes and nutrition advice, including a
section on fat and cholesterol.
According to department sources, who
asked not to be identified, the final
decision on whether to proceed with Food
2 has not been made and the fat-
cholesterol question is still being
reviewed.
Meanwhile, four private consumer
organizations this week protested what
they understood to be the Agriculture
Department’s decision "to delay,
perhaps indefinitely" publication.
The groups included: The Center for
Science in the Public Interest, Com-
munity Nutrition Institute, Consumer
Federation of America, and National
Consumers League.
In a letter to Agriculture Secretary
John R. Block, the groups said that he
had reversed an initial decision to
publish Food 2 because of strong op-
position by agricultural lobbyists whose
products are high in fat and cholesterol.
“The meat, egg and dairy producers
have fought tooth and nail to undermine
and obstruct the efforts of health experts
to encourage Americans to eat less fat
and cholesterol,” the letter said. "We
have watched these groups labor for
years to mold public health policy to
serve their own economic needs."
Block was asked specifically to publish
Food 2 without deleting or revising the
section on fat and cholesterol
