3 A send-off rally was held last night in Regents Plaza as students, community activists and union members (upper left) prepared for the Solidarity Day march in Washington. Bob Alexander, an administrative aid for State Sen. Ed Pierce, spoke for Pierce at the rally that was hosted and payed for by State Rep. Perry Bullard (lower left). Martha Hammerman, a graduate from the School of Public Health, and Phyllis Hochberg, a free-lance artist (facing forward), were just two of the 140 people that were headed for Washington (upper right). The Solidarity Day march is being held to protest Reagan's economic policies. A crowd of about 200,000 is expected to storm Washington tomorrow in an effort to change those policies. The Washington demonstration is being sponsored by the AFL-CIO and is expected to be the largest protest ever staged by labor. Besides the vans that left from Ann Ar- bor last night, car pools have also been established to take people to Washington. Approximately 200 people from Ann Arbor are expected to at- tend the demonstration. The protestors will be returning Sunday and Mon- day.

Solidarity union officials also planned an emergency meeting to discuss the Kremlin ultimatum, which charac- terized Solidarity's increasingly political demands and the gover- nment's tolerance of them as a direct, unacceptable threat to the interests of the Soviet Union itself. THE, PROPAGANDA campaign against Poland swelled as other East Bloc states echoed the Kremlin's stern warning. "The Soviet statement might be a prelude to a declaration of a state of emergency in Poland, which might well lead to widespread disorders, followed by an official Polish request for Soviet help," said one Western diplomat here, outlining a "worst-case" scenario leading to direct Soviet military inter- vention in Poland. The statement was published in the Soviet Union as well as Poland, in- dicating it was designed to arouse new concern among Soviet citizens as well as influence events inside Poland. ANA hope their statement will make Solidarity tone down the second part of its congress at the end of this month-or that the union or Polish officials will cancel the session. The diplomat disclosed theSoviets did not withdraw all their troops from positions near Poland's borders when large-scale military maneuvers ended last week. "I'm not saying this is ominous but their readiness is greater than it was before the exercises. If they have to conduct a military operation, they are in a much higher state of organization," the diplomat said. YES.
