invading
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Soviet
Union came "within inches" of in-
vading Poland Dec. 3, 1980, but pulled
back at the last minute when the Polish
government asked for one more try at
straightening out its domestic
problems, U.S. and European sources
believe.
The sources said the Soviet invasion
would have been massive and well-
coordinated, involving other Eastern
European forces invoking their right to
keep a socialist country from breaking
rank.
ALTHOUGH U.S. intelligence reports
at the time showed Soviet military
preparations at their height, the United
States did not learn authoritatively of
the near-invasion until four ,days after
the critical point.
When the White House learned of the
close call, it issued a statement on Dec.
7, belatedly warning the Soviet Union of
the grave consequences of an action the
Soviets had already decided not to take.
American sources said the White
House was "just behind the curve" and
that the actual danger point had passed
when the warning was issued.
EARLIER, ON DEC. 4, the State
Department said in a statement, "We
have no indication that the Soviets have
reached a decision to intervene."
That was technically correct, since
the Soviet decision was not carried out.
Bu Poland'
But sources said the Soviet Union was
in a state of high military alert and its
forces had "come with inches" of an in-
vasion one day earlier, on Dec. 3.
The State Department did not know of
the close call 24 hours earlier.
THE TIMING OF the Soviet near-
invasion, the sources believe, was
related to the United States having a
lame-duck president who war preoc-
cupied with negotiations for the release
of the American hostages in Iran.
But the sources believe Polish party
leader Stanislaw Kania personally
talked the Soviet leadership out of the
invasion, promising that the Polish
Communist party could regain control
of the situation if it had outside
economic help. If the Soviets invaded,
Kania is believed to have warned, the
clock would be turned back 25 years in
Eastern Europe.
That view was reportedly supported
by some of the other Eastern European
states, particularly Hungary.
Two days after the crucial Dec. 3
date, the Soviet Union convenec a sur-
prise summit meeting ofthe Warsaw
Pact powers in Moscow, where Kania
explained his plans and needs to the
other eastern European leaders.
The Moscow summit resulted in war-
nings to the Polish trade unions, but it
also gave the Poles some short-term
economic help, amounting to about $1
billion in hard currency.

Air traffic
controllers
contract
expires
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The air traf-
fic controllers union said yesterday its
17,000 members would neither go on
strike nor conduct a slowdown this
weekend, despite expiration of its con-
tract with the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration.
The current three-year agreement
between the FAA and Professional Air
Traffic Controllers Organization was
scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. EST
today.
NEGOTIATIONS WERE recessed on
Friday until tomorrow.
"There are no plans for a slowdown,
there are no plans for a walkout at this
time," said union spokesman Michael
Simons. "There are no plans for any
sort of a job action at the moment."
The union said, however, that infor-
mational pickets would begin ap-
pearing today at airports and flight
centers in 20 cities. The pickets would
be designed to make the public aware
that union members have chosen to
work under the terms of the expired
contract while negotiations continue.
SUCH INFORMATIONAL" picket-
ing is not considered by organized labor
as a bar to union members and sym-
pathizers from using the airline ser-
vices.
"There is no specific deadline at this
point, no set date, and PATCO intends
to remain at the table so long as fruitful
talks continue," Simons said.
The controllers who are federal em-
ployees, want wages higher than
federal scales, a reduction'in their
workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours, a
better retirement plan and a stronger
voice in safety-related matters such as
new equipment purchases.g
FAA officials have said an illegal
strike could take out 85 percent of the
workforce, forcing it to curtail
operations severely at the nation's 500
control towers and regional air route
control centers.
