.#'r.. i Page 8-Saturday, February 7, 1981-The Michigan Daily Haig moves to establish foreign policy authority . WASHINGTON (AP)-Secretary of State Alexander Haig is moving with considerable speed to establish his authority over anything dealing with the nation's foreign policy, short of the president himself. Just two weeks after taking office, Haig already has made his influence felt in the following ways: " He fought off attempts by Budget Director David Stockman to initiate deep cuts in foreign aid. " He persuaded President Reagan to wait a while longer before deciding whether to lift the grain embargo against the Soviets. " He has reassured the nation's allies that recent remarks favoring the -neutron warhead by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger did not mean there has been a change in the policy espoused by the Carter administration of opposing the warhead. IN ALL CASES, Haig was swimming against the current of the Reagan ad- ministration, which came to office pledging to slash spending the lift the grain embargo. The Republican party platform, which Reagan endorsed, called for deploying the neutron warhead after consultation with U.S. allies. Haig said during his confirmation hearings that he wouldn't be bound by everything in the party platform because he didn't have a role in draf- ting it. Since Reagan took office on Jan. 20, a great deal of attention has been focused on Stockman's efforts to cut federal spending. There is unquestionably a great deal of support for this among both Republicans and Democrats. So it must have seemed like a safe bet to propose cutting former President Carter's $8 billion aid proposal for fiscal 1982 by $2.6 billion. BUT HAIG WAS quick to signal his opposition. "I hope that we are going to be able to get a recognition that both foreign assistance and foreign security assistance is sometimes a very cost- effective vehicle for insuring that the ideals and interests of this country are carried out effectively abroad," he said. The next day, the OMB plan was leaked to the press. The nation's allies protested, and Haig took these protests and his own views to a Cabinet meeting where the cuts were shelved for the time being. Some cuts are still likely, the State Department concedes, but nothing like Stockman wanted. THE CABINET'S decision to delay a decision on lifting the grain embargo also reflected Haig's influence. During the campaign, Reagan had said the embargo was ineffective and unfair to farmers and that he would lift it, if elec- ted. Haig's view is that the embargo has damaged the Soviet economy. State Department officials have argued in in-, terviews that the embargo contributed to a 3 percent decline in Soviet meat production last year. The feeling at the State Department now is that the embargo will be left in place for some time.

Some Western diplomats feel the new attacks, which have appeared most prominently in the Soviet and East German press, will increase pressure on Polish Communist Party leader Stanislaw Kania to rein in the union Solidarity, which claims to have 10 million members. The labor unrest that has gripped Poland since last summer and relations with the independent union are expected to be among the topics when the party's Central Committee meets Monday in Warsaw. THE OFFICIAL Soviet news agency Tass stepped up the barrage yesterday accusing "counter-revolutionaries" and "right-wing" leaders of Solidarity of launching a "frontal attack on the party and people's power, trying to un- dermine the country's economy still further, and to complicate the life of all citizens in Poland." Tass's charges followed by one day a tough commentary in the East German news agency ADN, which accused the Solidarity leadership itself of following LSAT GRE GMAT TEST PREPARATION The finest preparation courses available Classes for Xton Feb. 21st rducatioa, LSAT begin C.enter Feb. 8th Call or write for more information 32466 Olde Franklin Drive Farmington Hills.

Previous East German commen- taries charged that the dissident Com- mittee for Social Self-Defense and others it called counterrevolutionaries were trying to infiltrate Solidarity. BUT THE EAST Germans had refrained from labeling Solidarities leaders as counter-revolutionaries - one of the harshest criticisms of Com- munist ideology. The Kremlin described its 1956 suppression of the Hungarians and the 1968 incursion into Czechoslovakia as moves against coun- terrevolutionaries. Reports of Soviet and other East bloc troops massed near Poland's borders have raised Western fears that Poland could meet a similar fate. Czechoslovakia's party daily Rude Pravo has claimed Solidarity leader Lech Walesa embarked on a more radical course after his meeting in the Vatican last month with Polish-born Pope John Paul II. Most of Poland's 35.4 million people A are Catholics. "This idea that the leadership is counterrevolutionary tends to discredit Kania and his policy of dealing with Solidarity," said one Western diplomat with long experience in Polish affairs. East Germany's official Communist daily Neues Deutschland quoted the Polish army paper Zolnierz Wolnosci as claiming the United States was using the labor crisis to undermine Poland's links with other communist countries. 0 Daily Photo y DAVID HARRIS VICE PRESIDENT FOR University Relations and Development Michael Radock reflects upon his 20 years at the University. Yesterday Radock announced his retirement slated for the end of this year. Radoek announces (Continued from Page 1) ONE PROBLEM Radock noted, however, is that only about 25 percent of University alumni donate, com- pared to 75 percent for the major private institutions. Under Radock's direction, the University received more than $37 million in the 1978-79 academic year along. He is quick to give the credit for the University's outstanding perfor- mance in ,gathering funds to a dedicated staff, faculty, and alumni, in addtion to the University's prestige. He described his own work as that of a "catalyst or a marriage broker." He said he tries to match the needs of the University with the appropriate donor. His job is to identify the donors and FOLD BACK THIS FLAP & SEAL WITH TAPE mr FROM The Michigan Daily 420 Maynard Ann Arbor, MI 48109 1 PLACE YOUR AD IN THEt It I Ft Summer Sublet Supplement t t APPEARING MARCH 29, 1981, * I t I Name Address I I I ~~~~~~~~Phone ______________ I t t t t Cost: $12.00 t t before 5 p.m., March 2 t t ($14 from March 3-23) I I IMake checks payable to t esignation solicit funds. "FUNDRAISING is 90 percent research and only 10 percent solicitation} here. At many schools, it's just the reverse," explained the vice president. One "pheomenon" which makes Radock feel optimistic about the University's future, he said, is the faculty and student interest in raising funds. He said members of the Univer- sity community ask "how they can help." Radock came to the University in 1961 after serving as manager for educational affairs at Ford Motor Co. He previously taught at Kent State University, Westminster College and the University of Wyoming. The vice president will not leave his post until a successor is found, and plans to remain at the University as a professor of communications and special advisor to President Harold Shapiro. Shapiro said a committee will be formed next week to conduct a nation- wide search for Radock's successor.
