The Michigan Daily-Sunday, September 13, 1981-Page 3 aiwanese prof's widow says hen was murdered By JOHN ADAM With wire reports The widow of former University Ph.D. student Chen Wen-Chen said in a news conference Friday for the first time that she believes her husband was murdered and that his death could not have been an accident or a suicide as claimed by the Taiwanese national security police. Chen, who was most recently an assistant professor at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, was found dead in early July on a university cam- pus in Taipei, Taiwan's capital. His death, which came hours-after a long, intensive interrogation by Taiwan's national security police, sparked widespread speculation that he was killed by Taiwanese authorities for his allegedly anti-government activities in the United States. "MY .HUSBAND'S death was not a suicide or accident. It was a ;nurder," said Su-jen, Chen's widow. She said th at unaccountable external wounds on her husband's body proved that he was murdered.4 Many Taiwanese students here and at Carnegie-Mellon University, as well as CMU President Richard Cyert, insist that Chen's death was "politically motivated."- They say that a network of Taiwanese student agents in the United States report back to the Nationalist Chinese government in Taiwan the political ac- tivities of fellow students. CYERT SAID at the press conference that foreign spying is considered illegal on his campus and that anyone found guilty will be suspended or expelled. HE ALSO SAID CMU has established a "harassment hotline" for Taiwanese students who feel they are being spied upon. In addition, he asked the faculty chairman to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate reports of spying on campus. Spurred by the mysterious circum- stances of Chen's death, a House sub- committee held hearings this summer on the subject of foreign intelligence ac- tivities in the United States, with a special focus on allegations that Taiwan runs a network of student spies on college campuses, including the University of Michigan. AFTER CHEN'S mysterious death in early July, officials at Carnegie-Mellon and at the U.S. State Department had some concern about the safety and whereabouts of Su-jen, and her one- year-old son, Eric, who is an American citizen. U.S. officials had not been able to contact Su-jen until nearly two weeks after her husband's death. When she returned to her home in Pittsburgh with Soviets end Poland maneuvers her son in mid-August she read a prepared statement: "I do affirm most strongly that I cannot accept their (the Taiwanese police) conclusion that his death was a suicide or an accident." Here in Ann Arbor, Taiwanese who oppose the Chinese Nationalist gover- nment have said they believe Chen was murdered by the Taiwanese national police for his political beliefs and that his alleged murder was to serve as "a warning" to any students associating.' themselves with anti-government ac- tivities in the United States. They said they think Taiwanese spies on campus allegedly report any dissident activities back to the island government.

The Warsaw regime, faced by un- precedented demands from Solidarity for free elections, civil liberties and other political reforms, also pressed its criticism of the independent labor union, warning that the "enemies of socialism" risked a "total confron- tation" with Communist authorities. BUT, 4 DAY after circulation of a Solidarity declaration calling for democracy in Poland, attention was- fixed on the enigmatic reaction of the Soviet Union. In a new twist, meetings of factory workers across the Soviet Union were organized by authorities on Friday and again on Saturday to discuss the Polish crisis and condemn Solidarity in a series of "open letters" given wide cir- culation in the official Soviet press. The latest such letter, from workers at Kirov tractor plant in Leningrad, said the "malicious leaders" of Solidarity were trying to push Poland "off the Socialist road. "LET NO ONE have any doubt that we shall not leave fraternal Poland in the lurch," it said. At the same time, the Soviet news agency Tass announced the end of the largest military maneuvers ever con- ducted near Poland-an eight-day exercise by 100,000 troops climaxing in a mock invasion by Soviet marines of a stretch of Russian coastline on 60 miles from Solidarity headquarters in the Polish port of Gdansk. The air, land and sea maneuvers in- volved the largest Soviet fleet ever assembled in the Baltic Sea, including the aircraft carrier Kiev. THE OBJECTIVES set at the exer- cises have been attained," Tass said. "The troops, naval forces and headquarters taking part in the exer- cises are returning to places of their permanent stationing." A day after Solidarity ended its first national convention in Gdansk, publishing its seven-point manifesto calling for democratic reforms, the union announced that workers at the huge steel mills in Warsaw, Krakow and Czestochowa had scheduled strike alerts to begin Sept. 18.
