The Polish government described Wojtyla's election as "a special sign for Poland." THE LITTLE-KNOWN, 58-year-old archbishop of Krakow, whose election by the secret conclave of cardinals came as a complete surprise, took the name John Paul, the same as his predecessor. "May Jesus Christ "be praised," the new pontiff told a throng of 100,000 as he made his first public appearance on a basilica balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square. "Viva it papa!" "Long live the pope!" the crowd roared into the moonlit night. HE TOLD THEM he had feared being called to the papacy but accepted it "in the spirit of obedience to our Lord." Wojtyla's selection of the papal name John Paul II apparently indicates he plans to follow in the steps of his three immediate predecessors - John XXIII, Paul VI, and John Paul I, who died Sept. 28 after a reign of only 34 days. Wojtyla's election came on the seven- th or eighth ballot of the conclave of 111 cardinals in the Sistine Chapel that began Saturday evening. THE SELECTION of the Polish arch- bishop satisfied one of the conditions expressed by cardinals before the con- clave - that Pope John Paul's suc- cessor also have a pastoral background. Buthagain the cardinals picked a man whose experience in the Vatican's administrative machinery was minimal. His election was viewed as another step in the church's process of inter- nationalization, a process spurred by Pope Paul VI. For this reason, many Catholic scholars here were jubilant over the choice, calling it historic. "It is fantastic," several said over and over. Wojtyla was born in Wadowice, 23 miles from Krakow, on May 18, 1920 His mother died when he was nine and his father died at the beginning of World War II. WHILE ATTENDING secondary school and college, he worked in a Krakow chemical factory, where he set up a recreation and education center for his fellow workers. After his ordination in Poland in 1946, he went to Rome and studied at the Angelicum College, earning a doctorate in philosophy in 1948. He returned to Poland and worked as a parish assistant in the Krakow arch- diocese under the severe restrictions on religion imposed by the Communists. HE LATER earned another doc- torate, in theology, and taught as a professor at the Catholic universities of Lublin and Krakow. He was named titular bishop of Ombi, Poland, on July 4, 2958, and archbishop of Krakow on Jan. 13, 1964. In Washington, President Carter said the election of Pope John Paul II was 'very exciting' and "a very good move." Carter, offering congratulations to the new pope, said he added his "sense of joy to that felt around the world" upon the pope's election. He praised the College of Cardinals for twice in eight weeks choosing popes who "have filled the church and the world with new hope." I PAUL II, the former Karol CardinaiWojtyla, makes his first appearance before the throngs of people gathered Square last night. The Polish Arcbbiship of Krakow is the Church's first non-Italian Pope in over 450 years. 7OP candidates Tuesday 'ENTER TAINER 'BOOKS WILL BE PULLED: I utspend ith less than a month to go before state-wide election, both U.S. ate candidates easily met large Sep- nber campaign expenses. ut their counterparts in the delayed cond District House contest are ving a hard time coming up with the h to cover much smaller debts.

Greene's two-month struggle to get his name on the ballot kept voters won- dering until last month whether he would be eligible to take on Pursell, and Greene's late entry continues to haunt the race, limiting the financial strength of both candidates.

The agreement was made at a meeting between representatives from the OCC, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC), and the University. The special hearing determined the bargaining unit - who would be represented by the union - and also set up terms for the election. The bargaining unit would be composed of all regular, full- and part-time Univer- sity clerical employees and the election will be held Nov. 13-17. The agreements are now in effect, pending verification of "show of in- terest" cards submitted by OCC. The cards, signed by clericals at the University, were collected prior to the hearing. Validation of the signatures is expected sometime today. In order to petition for a union elec- tion, the OCC had to have 30 per cent of the approximately 3000 possible clerical signatures. occ started collecting signatures in June of 1977, See CLERICALS, Page 6 redcted ASHINGTON (AP) - The White Luse guardedly endorsed yesterday $18.7 billion tax cut Congress ap- >ed in its windup session, with a skesman describing the final product markedly improved over costlier rsions President Carter had eatened to veto. ex Granum, deputy White House ss secretary, said while "we cer- nly can't commit the President to fning or vetoing a bill until he has one so ... there certainly were gnificant improvements in the tax by ai des days, as legislative aides work on the mountain of paper Congress left behind from the furious last days of the session which ended Sunday.
